Original Japanese lyrics at WikiMoon

“Ms. FUKAMI Rica herself sings the image song of Minako. It’s also a song inserted giving the image of Minako dreaming of idols. In episode 154 (S 27), the music was playing on a cassette player as she was about to open her own recital at Honjou Nursery School. Incidentally, when she appeared on stage she decided to sing ‘Moonlight Densetsu’. It’s being used as karaoke. Minako also announces this song in episode 192 (Stars 26), ‘Yume itchokusen! Idol Minako tanjou’ [‘A straight line toward dreams! Minako the idol is born’]”

*Repeat

Open that door
The time remaining
Is being drawn away
Lift up your eyes
Stare straight ahead
Give me one last kiss
And walk away

Truly
So much
That the wind is biting
My spirit is restrained
Our paths divide apart, I know
It’s destiny, the stars have decided
The one that you chose
The white route
The future looms ahead
Don’t lose your way

*The sea spreads out wide
   The wind comes blowing this way
   It may be a little cold
   But start running forth
   Do not forget
   About yourself
   The one I love the most
   Even though it’s hard
   From here I look out
   And see the desert daybreak

Open that window
The time of yours
Is beginning now
Close your eyes
I wanted to have
One last kiss at night
Remember it

Truly
So much
That the sky crumbles down
I am crying in my heart
Our paths are separate from each other
It’s destiny, the stars have decided
The one that I chose
The blue route
The future looms ahead
Don’t forget about it

The morning is beginning
People are starting to move
It may be a little scary
But start walking forth

Do not forget
About me
The one I love the most
Even though it hurts
From here I look out
And see the desert daybreak

*Repeat
