"Our Star" compares the Earth to an ordinary girl, "Earth," and depicts the vast distance from the solar system to the end of the universe and the 5 billion years until the Earth's destruction, a time that humans cannot fathom. It wittily captures our daily lives, which seem repetitive but are different every day, with lines and raps that make use of the subtlety of language.

The setting of the work is the 19th Cosmos Apartment complex.
The family of the girl 'Earth', who had been alone for 600 million years, moved into the Cosmos Apartment today.
Next door lives a girl named 'Dal' who is slightly smaller than Earth.
The two are always together and become best friends, but because of the orbit, they become closer and then gradually grow apart, and now they are childhood friends who cannot meet again.

“Our Star” was born in 2009 at the Star Hall of the Mitaka City Arts and Culture Center.
In 2011, when the chaos of the Great East Japan Earthquake had not yet subsided, “Our Star” set out on a journey to various parts of Japan.
And then we had our third performance in 2015.
I came back to this theater like a star circling the night sky.
How have we changed over the past six years? There must have been many new things born, many things lost.
“Our Star” is a work that depicts both of these.
“Our Star” is a work that depicts all of these simultaneously.

Shall we play house?
I like the moon.
Let's play house.
Let's do it! Let's do it!
Then, I think that because of the wounds in my heart that were once broken due to a personal matter, no matter how much I do
Even though the girls struggled and couldn't be honest, they felt guilty and told each other in their young hearts.
A child's play where you say goodbye, leaving behind a small lump and a scar!

To the moon and Earth.
How are you? I'm fine, I guess.
Earth, I just played with you and we just broke up.
I am writing this letter to you
I feel so strange.
What are you doing now? I'm writing a letter.

Rani, that's obvious.
Ah, already useless
I wrote four lines.
What will we be doing 10 billion years from now?
What will the world be like 10 billion years from now?
If we still get along well 10 billion years from now
That would be nice.
