Yuuhi no hikari no shita no Palace
Dare wa koko de ikiru?
Kesshite, dareka wa
Dare mo nyuujou janai
Dare wa Palace de ikiru no
Kodoku na hito ka?
Ichinen ni ichido, GEETO ga hiraku
Erande hito wa hairu
Kodoku na Ruler ni naru
Hoshi wo tsugu mono wa dare ka
Kyou made
Tada tanban wo miru nda
Cosmos ga erande Ruler no
Unmei no hi ga kita
Kodoku na Palace (ga kagayakeru) hoshizora no shita de 
Nantoka, sotchi ikiru wa yume da
Demo kowai da yo
Hitotsu no Ruler de ikiru
Queen no sonzai wa ii
Demo sekinin ga aru.
Hoshi no Palace iwayuru
Kotchi de ikitai
Tengoku ka jigoku ka
Minna ga iimashita
Kokoro no kettei da
Katamari no koe de michibiku
Palace no Ruler wa erandeta
Koun'na hito no tame ni yobidasu,
Aratana michi ga arawareru
Hoshi wa hirakumasu
Shinpi no
Palace de ikiru
Aratana Ruler wo kangei suru
Kagayakeru Palace (wa mabushii) hoshizora no shita de
Nantoka genjitsu to ka
Nantoka mugen to ka
Zenzen shinjirarenai
Tsugi no byou no mukou de
Me wo hiraku yume wo wasureru
Hitotsu no hoshi ga umareta
Akogare no Palace
Sorera subete no kibousha
Sorera subete no mudana negai
Hitori de erande wa
Yume no sekai he ikou
Kodoku na Palace (ga kagayakeru) hoshizora no shita de 
Nantoka, sotchi ikiru wa yume da
Demo kowai da yo
Hitotsu no Ruler de ikiru
Queen no sonzai wa ii
Demo sekinin ga aru.

The palace in the setting sun's light
Who lives there?
No one ever enters the place
Who must be the lonely one
To live in the palace?
Once in a year, the gates open itself
And a chosen one will enter it
And become the lone ruler
Who will inherit the stars?
Until today
Having only seen the veneer
The fateful day when a new ruler is chosen
By the countless lights in the cosmos
The lonely palace (radiantly) under the starry sky
Somehow, it'd be a dream to live there
But it also scares me a lot
Living there as lonely ruler
Being the queen must be nice,
But bears responsibilities.
The so-called palace of stars,
The place where I want to be
Is it heaven or hell? 
They say, it's the decision
That one's heart must make
Lead by the voices of plenty
The palace's ruler has been chosen
Calling out for the lucky one,
And new path opens up
The stars open up themselves
Ready to greet the new ruler
Who will live in the palace
That is a mystery itself
The shining palace (mysterious) in the starlight
Somehow, it seems reality
But at the same time, it isn't
It's absolutely unbelievable
I might will wake up in a second
And forget this dream
A single star is born
The admired palace
All those young hopefuls
All those wastes wishes
Yet, one will be chosen
To enter the lonely world of fulfilled dreams
The lonely palace (radiantly) under the starry sky
Somehow, it'd be a dream to live there
But it also scares me a lot
Living there as lonely ruler
Being the queen must be nice,
But bears responsibilities.

夕日の光の下のPalace
誰はここで生きる？
決して、誰かは
誰も入場じゃない
誰はPalaceで生きるの
孤独な人か？
一年に一度、ゲートが開く
選んで人は入る
孤独なRulerになる
星を継ぐものは誰とか
今日まで
ただ単板を見るんだ
Cosmosが選んでRulerの
運命の日が来た
孤独なPalace（が輝ける）星空の下で
なんとか、そっち生きるは夢だ
でも怖いだよ
一つのRulerで生きる
Queenの存在はいい
でも責任がある。
星のPalaceいわゆる
こっちで生きたい
天国か地獄か
みんあが言いました
心の決定だ
塊の声で導く
PalaceのRulerは選んでた
幸運な人のために呼び出す、
新たな道が現れる
星は開くます
神秘の
Palaceで生きる
新たなRulerを歓迎する
輝けるPalace（は眩しい）星空の下で
何とか　現実とか
何とか　夢幻とか
全然　信じられない
次の秒の向こうで
目を開く　夢を忘れる
一つの星が生まれた
憧れのPalace
それら全ての希望者
それら全ての無駄な願い
一人で選んでは
孤独な夢の世界へ移行
孤独なPalace（が輝ける）星空の下で
なんとか、そっち生きるは夢だ
でも怖いだよ
一つのRulerで生きる
Queenの存在はいい
でも責任がある。

Somewhere in the dark, an old, dusty book is opened. It's title "The Story of the Lonely Palace" is written in golden letters on the brown cover.
The music starts playing and the story's words are written below the scenery. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom. The people lived in happiness and the country bloomed. Close to the beautiful capital, there was an large lake, and in the centre of the lake, an even more beautiful castle. The large gates of the palace never opened itself; the palace's ruler's wishes only reaching the people through magic.
But once in a year, a new queen would be chosen by the palace itself; the only day, it opened itself. It was a dream of many girls to be elected by the mysterious voice of the palace, to be named as new ruler.
Often, a young girl whose name was Minami dreamed of becoming the next ruler. However, the young daughter of normal citizens, was often told about the danger. The chosen girls were never to be seen again. She herself remembered the last two chosen ones very well.
Minami is sitting on her windows sill, watching the people on the street.
Akari, the chosen girl two years ago, had been a good friend of her. She had accompanied her to the palace's entrance. She had been very happy and surprised, even if some rankings had shown her to be quite favoured by the people. Minami remembered those rankings very well; she had been favoured in them as well, originally even above Akari. Yet, she supported her friend, happy to see her winning.
Minami remembers the time.
Akari had never returned. It was the first time in a long while that someone, Minami knew had been selected, but Akari never returned to them. Instead, a young girl named Honoka, Minami knew well too, had been called by the palace. Leaving one of her best friend crying behind, she left, and no one expected her to return home this year either.
Minami had noticed that everyone had become negative about the palace ever since her friends had left. Unknown to the girl who was walking through the streets, she was followed by two hooded figures.
"Hey," The smaller one says, "That's her. You don't wanna follow her?"
The second one, taller than the other, nods, "Yeah."
As they follow them, the wind blows against the two strangers and their hoods shortly reveal their hair and clothes. The taller one, a brunette, reacts quickly, turning her back to the wind, while the other one with purple hair needs a bit more time.
A little bit later, the three girls have arrived at the sea's beach.
"Interested in the palace?" The purple-haired girl asks Minami, keeping her face disguised.
"Hm?" Minami turns around, "Who are you?"
The taller one shrugs, "Doesn't matter. Are you interested in the palace?"
Before Minami is able to reply, the palace behind them starts to shine thanks to the setting sun's light.
"It's starting…" Minami says in awe.
The two hooded figures giggle a bit, causing Minami to turn back to them.
"You two…" Minami whispers, "You know more about the palace, do you?"
The two strangers look to each other, nodding. They uncover their identities, revealing themselves as the last two ruler's, Akari and Honoka.
"Yes, we do." Honoka smiles.
Akari speaks with a mysterious smile, "We thought you might wanna know that beforehand that..." She grins.
The next page of the book displays the words "To be continued".
