This song is the Japanese version of “A Wish Is A Dream Your Heart Makes”, a soundtrack from Disney’s live action movie “Cinderella” released a few months back. Titled “Yume ha Hisoka Ni”, actress Mitsuki Takahata and stage actor Shirota Yu enchanted audiences with a musical style reenactment of scenes from the movie. AKB48 Takahashi Minami in particular was so touched that she declared “After I graduate I want to meet a prince!”

Mitsuki:Under this star, the same dream
Shirota: is being shared by someone else. I’ll wait forever.
Mitsuki: Even if I cry, courage should lead the way.
Both: Someday we’ll meet, my Light. Believe in love.
Shirota: Even when I’m alone, i’ll look up at the sky.
Mitsuki: With the same eyes, I’ll look at you like my dream.
Shirota: When I stumble, courage should lead the way.
Both: Someday we’ll meet, My Light. Believe in love.
Shirota: Who are you?
Mitsuki: I’m Cinderella. I have no home, no parents, no inheritance. These beautiful shoes, i don’t know if they will fit me. If they fit, will you accept me for who I am? I love you.
Shirota: Of course, if you accept me for who I am. The me who’s just learning the ropes of my job. Please. (offers glass slippers)
My fangirl kokoro is reacting the same way as Takamina. CLAP CLAP X 100. *Tears*
I’ve never watched a musical in my life but if that’s going to be as magical as this then i need to watch it one day!
Oh, I read the book, and I know how it ends — but I won’t spoil it for you
