“Museum of the Stars II” to enjoy with realistic narration flowing from earphones

2021.08.17

Since ancient times, people have connected stars to create stories.
The constellations drawn in the night sky are like paintings lined up in a museum.
In this work, we have prepared multiple commentary narrations so that you can enjoy the story of stars and constellations from various angles.

Looking up at the starry sky as if looking at a painting

From standard constellation commentary for beginners who want to look for stars after viewing, to laughing starry sky commentary recommended for those who want to enjoy the starry sky from a strange perspective, we will deliver it with narration by a unique cast.
The starry sky you can see and the content of the commentary will change depending on the season, so please look forward to it.
