Natsuhiboshi (夏母子, literally meaning: Summer Mother and Child) is the title of the song that both Sumaru and Natsuhi sang in the Star Guard Mission. It is a lullaby Natsuhi sang to her son when he was an infant. He usually sings the lullaby whenever he remembers his deceased mother.

Summer Star, Why are you so red.
Because, I had a sad dream last night.
My eyes are red from the tears I've shed.
Swollen as I cried.
Summer Star, Why've you lost your way?
I'm searching for a child whose gone afar.
He can't be found, though I've searched all day.
My sad dreams come once more.
Summer Star, Why are you so red.
Because, I had a sad dream last night.
My eyes are red from the tears I've shed.
Swollen as I cried.
Summer Star, Why've you lost your way?
I'm searching for a child whose gone afar.
He can't be found, though I've searched all day.
My sad dreams come once more.
