This is a light novel written by Tatsuki Saitoh, based on NATARIE IN THE DREAM (NataP)'s song

"太陽を知らない人" (Taiyou wo Shiranai Hito, officially translated as "the man who knows the sun never", but that sounds a tad Engrishy to me)

It features three Vocaloids NataP released solo albums for: Gakupo Kamui, Luka Megurine and Len Kagamine.

太陽を知らない人

海よりも深い森に

太陽を知らない人

どんなに天を仰いでみても

無口な木々が影を落とすだけ

冬が終わり 春が来ても

夏が枯れて 秋が吹いても

季節の届かない森の奥で

知らない何かを ただ夢見てる

森よ開け

風に揺れて

空の青を夢に見ている

まだあなたの知らない色

海よりも深い森に

太陽を知らない人

どんなに天を仰いでみても

無口な木々が影を落とすだけ

The Man Who Doesn’t Know the Sun

In a forest deeper than the seas

A man who doesn’t know the Sun

No matter how hard he looks upwards

Only taciturn trees cast their shadows

Even if winter ends and spring comes

Even if summer withers and autumn blows

Inside the forest where seasons don’t reach

He just dreams of something unknown

O forest, open

Swayed by the wind

The blue of the heavens seen in dreams

A color you have yet to know

In a forest deeper than the seas

A man who doesn’t know the Sun

No matter how hard he looks upwards

Only taciturn trees cast their shadows

Intriging, isn't it? Then, onto the

first chapter!
