the english lyrics
The sound of the constant crush in the woods in a quiet and calm in the noisy heart of my time
Roped ritual enclosure was broken by the Dragon God is crying
with reflection with reflection
Born born born in the sound of heavy sounds sunk in the sea of sound in the leak of a leak into the sea
The sound of the constant crush in the woods in a quiet and calm in the noisy heart of my time
The sound of the constant crush in the woods in a quiet and calm in the noisy heart of my time
only one grain of silence in the scandal spread to the bottom of a well
Forest noisy shake my heart is cold wintry wind as if it can coexist with
Chowa oto ~With Reflection~" encapsulates everything we are culturally aware of right now and thus resonates the voice of a generation world wide. We are all feeling everything is moving too fast and we are not even able to master our own powers globally ... this song, this artist gives more insight for our current predicament than any amount of language thrown at us from the media. ... but then that is what art does, it transcends the mediocre world of politics and lifts us up when other structures/perceptions have only failed us.
Chowa Oto is an anthem for our humanity surviving in the face of what is to come.

After watching the anime movie "Origin: Spirits of the Past" I couldn't get enough of the song "Chowa Oto~ with Reflection" and ended up buying this CD. And it was a good decision. I love it!
These songs (there are essentially two on the CD, with multiple variations on one) are lovely. They have good melodies and KOKIA's voice is nicely matched to them. "Chowa Oto~ with reflection" has a nice spine-shivering element to it, it's just fantastic.
I recommend this CD.

This cd is great. It made me want to find more of Kokia's cd's. She has a magic voice and the lyrics are very meaningful (if you understand them). I really love this cd, I can't recommend it enough.
Seriously, you will not regret buying this.
