Mizuguchi's 'Heavenly Star' spreads rainbows and bunnies in Lumines II music video

After the devilishly catchy Lumines title song, Mondo Grosso's Shinin' - which often causes violent rows in the CVG office when attempted to be played aloud - we're a bit miffed by the sequel's erm, 'happy' front-runner.

Titled 'Heavenly Star', the song is performed by a Gorillaz-style virtual pop-act, Genki Rockets, using a fusion of different female voices, an expert-miming model and lyrics written by Mizuguchi-San himself. The music video is a bit like A-Ha's Take on Me, with a pencil-drawn singer prancing around rainbow-arched fields and comet-filled skies. The video will play in the background of Lumines II when Heavenly Star rolls round.

Here's what Mizuguchi-San had to say about Heavenly Star in our recent interview:

"So the girl in the video, she is 17 years-old. She doesn't exist in this world; she's a future girl. She was born in outer space and she's never touched on this planet yet. This is kind of the big love song for the Earth; she's always dreaming of what kind of place Earth is. She knows the history and info from the high-tech, high-res media, but she's always dreaming about the real experience; wind on her face; rainbows - 'what is a rainbow?'. It's a kind of fresh, lovely song. (laughs)"
