Love it!!!

Its so beautiful and i love the music! To bad i cant read Japanese?

Beautiful!

Captures the beauty of standing alone beneath a canopy of stars at night in 3D. The song’s nice, but the ability to move around in the app and see it from almost any angle makes it something special … and it’s free. I’d like to see more like this one!

The music & feeling of the stars stays with you

Gentle magical beauty.

I love this app. It is hauntingly beautiful. The music, the graphics, the stars falling are simple yet so beautiful. It's what you feel when you watch and listen and touch it. It touches the spirit of us

I got it long ago, but keep coming back to it.
It's a favorite.

It always makes you feel the beauty of the stars and the music.

A pretty song, plus Japanese poems

This app is kind of beautiful, but...

It has a pretty specific audience, and I guess it isn't me. You might see the man in the screenshots, and assume he walks around and does something. He does not.

The game is basically a simulation of the inside of a small snow globe. You can rotate the "camera" around what amounts to the inner wall of the snow globe. The man stands motionless in the middle, next to a flower.

There are only a few things you can do with this app:
1. Rotate, so that you see the man (and the flower and the starry night) from different angles.
2. Tap the flower or one of a dozen bright stars, and bring up a poem written in Japanese.
3. Turn your iPhone upside down, and the snow will fall the other direction, just like a snow globe.

There is also a pretty song that plays.

If you would like to read a dozen poems, and listen to a pretty song, then this might be the app for you.

If you download it, thinking surely there must be some way to make the man move, or do something other than read, you will probably be frustrated.

But probably not too frustrated, because the song is actually pretty, and that makes it better :-)

Even better than expected!!!!

Laying in bed I thought "I'd really like to stare at the stars." this was exactly what I wanted! It was absolutely beautiful and the music is mesmerizing. Well done!
