I'd like to say "this will find its audience" but the truth is I just didn't know how to tag this

In the following scene:

Gou is about to tell Satoshi the thing he's been hiding, but he gets too scared and tries to change the topic. He says, and I quote:

"Nevermind. The stars are really beautiful tonight, aren't they?" [何でも無い。今日の星はとてもきれいだような?] (If I screwed up the spelling you saw nothi-)

And then he looks at the sky with the full moon right in the middle. The phrase "The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" is, essentially the subtle Japanese way of saying "I love you". I couldn't find any proper source regarding if saying that about the stars has a different meaning. Here is one about the moon though:

I honestly think they deliberately changed the exact wording and made him refer to the stars while looking at the moon, so it's not as obvious what it means. Because "the moon is beautiful" has a very clear meaning in Japanese pop culture.
