[miikanui]

moments of realization

[ourtalechara]

Tsukasa focus songs' music: You can do anything! Reach for the stars! Let's soar!

Tsukasa focus songs' lyrics: I saw the most pathetic thing in the world when I looked in the mirror

88☆彡/Eighty Eight Stars - marasy x kemu

Translation credit Hiraethie

Somewhere along the way I had realized (that this was…)

Just some childish play (La~La~La~ sparkling, twinkling)

You showed your smile and

You say, I’m the anticipated pierrot, yeah! (That’s right!)

And I’ll never back down (La~La~La~ causally, casually)

I’ll smile with you now

With every strum of the melody, my heart is crying out for me

The world is full of life, frenzied by the sight, as moments pass by—bursting open!

Become a fool and fly away!

It’s okay to not remember all the tiny things

‘Round in circles, we’ll keep going

If you slip and fall, know it’s not the end of all

This is it! I surely see!

I’ll keep chasing all my hopes and dreams yet to be

There they shine—my wishes in those

88 stars, that illuminate the sky

This or that, wonders of delight, hug them all tight, then drift to sleep

(Still is it not enough?) Is there more to this?

Maybe a bit further?

When morning comes, it’s fine to sigh

It’s okay to add some color to your dreadful days

Can’t taste or savor the flavors?

I pray happiness finds you when all is said and done

Raise your head and fly away!

It’s okay to take a break, don’t neglect your own worries

‘Round in circles, we’ll keep going

Make some noise! It’s your life���enjoy and make memories!

This is it! I surely see!

I’ll keep chasing all my hopes and dreams yet to be

There they shine—my wishes in those

88 stars, that illuminate the sky

SOME PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS OF A TIKTOK SAID THAT THE VOCALOID VERSION OF 88 STARS SOUNDS EMPTY.

IM AT YOUR HOUSE LIVING IN YOUR WALL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

[sillylittlelou]

I totally did not make my spam messages and old group chats unread so that the number on the app is 88 bc tsukasa tenma from the hit game hatsune miku colorful stage :3

Now I know when someone texts me bc then it will be 89 >:3

[meowker]

The number 88 will not leave me alone, after 88☆彡 my life has changed, any time I see the number 88, I instantly think of Tenma Tsukasa

[tomatosoupandpasta]

Whoops got sidetracked again and learned Newton Dance in the piano instead (: Sorry Tsukasa I'm not gonna learn 88☆彡 for a while

Tsukasa is heavily asociated with the number 88, beginning with his second commissioned song, 88☆彡. The song itself has the number 88 as a recurring motif, with some of this symbolism connecting to Tsukasa.

The following is a (hopefully) complete list of the connections the song and Tsukasa have to the number 88:

The song is exaclty 88 measures long.

The song has a BPM of 176, which is 88 in half-time.

The note count for the song's chart on every difficulty ends in 88 (increasing: 388, 588, 688, 1088, 1188)

There are 88 keys on the piano. Tsukasa's connection to the piano was explored within the On the stage of dazzling light event, the event that 88☆彡 was commissioned for.

When written in English, Wonderlands contains 11 letters, and Showtime contains 8. If the "x" in WonderlandsxShowtime is used as a multiplication sign, 11 multiplied by 8 is equal to 88.

The song is played in the 8th chapter of WonderlandsxShowtime's 8th unit event. While this makes 88 itself, the chapter also happens to be the actual 88th chapter of WonderlandsxShowtime's story altogether (counting all the main story, Virtual Singer main story, and event stories). This doesn't apply to the EN server due to the omission of Revival my dream.

There are 88 known constellations. Another piece of recurring imagery with Tsukasa is a star, which is included in the song's title. Some constellations can also be seen on his trained Star Melody banner 4* card.

The Tenma siblings (including Toya as their honourary sibling) have birthdays that are 8 days apart (Saki is May 9th, Tsukasa is May 17th, and Toya is May 25th). Tsukasa has the middle birthday of the three, meaning that 88 (or 8 and another 8) connects him to the people he considers most important to him. All three of them are also connected to the piano.

Tsukasa smiles in the 2DMV at the end of the bridge, which is also 88 seconds into the song.

In addition to this, Tsukasa's third unit banner, Towards the Phoenix at the Sky's Edge, was the game's 88th event. Again this does not apply to the EN server.
