[@bubblegumidols]

i love chakra bro

[@futurosurf]

I remember stumbling upon this and feeling that magical discovery. Love coming back to this once in a while. truly magical piece here.

[@bubblegumidols]

@@futurosurf yup! This got me into their beautiful discography and im thankful for that! This album is great but what’s even better is their self-titled “Chakra” one. No skips, literally. Can’t get enough of them, my all-time favorites!

Here's my translation of the lyrics plus romaji: Surrounding you is a smooth breeze Over there a green morning cools The swaying memory, melting light Imagination when I was young, forgotten Are you really free when you're closed in day to day? Until your heart's unbinded, that is the key to Freedom That is Free The bottom of my heart rises from that rhythm Everything draws a spiral What a kaleidoscopic feeling~ Eros tingling on my body Are you really free when you're running from mourning? Until your heart's unbinded, that is the key to Freedom That is Free --- anata no mawari wa namerakana kaze ga soko ni wa yawaragu midori no asa ga hikari ni tokete maikomu memorī osanai koro ni wasureta imajineishon nichijō ni tozasarete anata wa jiyū na no kokoro made shibaranaide sore ga Free no kagi yo sore ga Free kokoro no soko de okidasu rizumu subete no mono ga rasen o egaku gokusaishoku no ma~a rui kibun fuwafuwa yurete erosu no karada nigegoshi de fusagikonda anata wa jiyū na no kokoro made shibaranaide sore ga Free no kagi yo sore ga Free

[@disarraygun]

This song is incredible. I can't get enough...

[@mojav26]

The lyrics translate approximately to: "There is a smooth wind around you There is a green morning relaxing there Memory melting in light Imagination that I forgot about when I was young Are you free being shut up in daily life? Do not bind it to my heart That's the key of Free It is Free A rhythm that starts at the bottom of my heart Everything draws a spiral Wonderful feeling of polar color Just fluffy and erotic body You stopped at the escape and you are free Do not bind it to my heart That's the key of Free It is Free"

*Apparently the English translation* You have a smooth wind around you. There is a green morning to soften Bringing memory melted into the light Imagination I forgot when I was young You're free to be closed to your everyday life. Don't be tied to your heart, that's the key to free. It's free The rhythm that happens at the bottom of my heart All things draw a spiral Colored-round mood It's a fluffy shake, eros. It's a clogging. You're free. Don't be tied to your heart, that's the key to free. It's free
