Shichi-gatsu Nanoka Hare

Gee I feel stupid, I finally found lyrics to Shichi-gatsu Nanoka Hare (7th of July, Clear).

I had always thought the title of the song was July 7th, Sunny, since that's what the weather report uses for sunny (Hare).

BUT, 'hare' really means clear, and there's a line in the song:

Shichigatsu nanoka, hareta yozora kazu wo fuyasu hoshi
July 7th, clear night-sky number increase star(s)

The rest of the song is referring to a NIGHT SKY, too!

Which makes sense since 7/7 is the Tanabata Festival,

and of course the song references Vega and Altair.

I didn't realize that a NIGHT sky could be 'hare'; now this song makes a lot more sense :)
