Note
I think that the first album of "Chakra" is a
parody of a rock. music. The sound of chakra is near rock and not really
rock sound.
Mishio joind to chakra by a auditiion becase her voice is
evaluated strange.
Chakra attached the watanabe-production. Chakra performed
on tv show, because the production is promort of many personality
to tv a show those day.It is a little strange spectacle.
The fashion of chakra of album jacket is like chinese. I
think this was effected by the fashion of yellow magic
orchestra(such as Solid State Survivor).
"Hukuno-tane" was hit. A singing of this song
like a japanese folk song. "Shimano-onna" like the song
of okinawa island. The musical performance of "tokyo
sweet" is progressive rock. "Isshoni"and "I
am soro" likes a hard rock.
The word of these songs is humorous and little sexy.
The sound of chakra is rich in variety.The vocal of Mishio
is powerfull and humorous.
Makoto Yano is a member of original "Moon Riders"
and firist hasband of Akiko Yano.

Note
Japanese important musician such as Haruomi Hosono and
Hideki Matsutake (from YMO) joined to Secound album
"satekoso".
"Satekoso" is a coined word and it's' mean is not
clear ". Sate" has a nuance of "what shall I do I
now?" , and "koso" has " just a thing I
want".I don't know well.
"Satekoso" is a experimentally aubum and
contained much musical idea. I am convinced a masterpece as
typical 80th japanese music.
The word of "Itohoni" is a musical scale -do, re,
mi- replaced to japanese old I, ro, ha.
The vocal by Mishio of "Myun-myun" and
"free" are scat.with a great deal of personality.
"Ochosimono koushinkyoku" is cheer song of life for the
march of a frivolous person.
"Chotto itaikedo suteki" could hear very powerful
vocal.

Note
The last album of chakra was mini-album including only 7
songs and the member of chakra was only two persons - Mishio and
Bun.
I think that the play style listen to the album was
expressed "asian beat pop". This sound is continue
after "asian fantasy orchestra" introduced by Kiyohiko
Senba.
Kiyohiko Senba is not only a performing musician of
japanese traditional percussion - "tuzumi" or
"taiko" but also a drums player of western jazz and
fusion. He is a member of "Squre" which is a typical
fusion band.
Shuichi "ponta"Murakami is a typycal japanese
drumer, he plying jazz and pops field long time.
The sound of this album was adopt asian and western style
such as a indian musical instrument "tabla", and rythm
is emphasis.
"Honto no koto-wo ieba" has a paradox word. I'll
speak out honestly, I am a liar.
"Mada" has only eflective words of the chakra and
the song was dropped a hint that the dissolution.
I use "mada" as tytle of this page.
