Star Tears Disease

Like Hanahaki disease, the cause of Star Tears (星涙病) is a situation of unrequited love by the person you love.

When a person cries star tears, a sound accompanies it. (What sound this is happening to be unspecified. Twinkling, or jingling sound,... etc....). If the symptoms are severe/the person has a serious case of the star tear disease, their photoreceptors cease to function and they go color blind. In rare cases, they may also suffer memory loss.

The star tears have color and shine/twinkle when they fall. (Perhaps the eventual color-blindness is because the star tears have color when shed.)

The way to heal from star tear disease, or at least to stop it, is naturally to have your feelings returned and be with the one you love.

Her vision turned blurry due to the flowing tears. Many colorful stars, accompanied by a twinkling sound, started to fall out of her eyes.

"Star tears disease huh?"

Her distant gaze shifted away from the stars that were piling up in the palm of her hands, her lips parted:

"So... this is the price of loving you."

We popped the top. We know what was in it.
Yeah, we were all so stupid to sip it.
Orphan Tears are so hallucinogenic.
I took one drink and saw a two-headed midget.

Scarlet Tears

Part of a phrase from the Anime "Cowboy Bebop".

In episode 26, the main bad guy, Vicious (after his failed coup against his employer) confronts his final boss and tells him, "Now you will cry Scarlet Tears." He then places his sword on the boss's nose at eye level, and cuts his boss's eyes, simultainously killing him. Vicious then takes control of their criminal empire.

A very memorable phrase in anime.
Boss - "How dare you, Vicious! You betrayed us!"

Vicious - "Now you will cry scarlet tears."

Vicious slices his sword across the eyes of his boss, killing him.

Although it doesn't show it on screen, you can assume that it's pretty bad.

This is done not to actually respond or satisfy any of this attraction, but to feed the posters ego or need for attention, at the expense of the time, reputation and sexual frustration of those who view the image or reply.
"Hey guys, are these shorts too tight?"
"Screw off with your thirst trap."
