Harenchi, Part 1
The first half of Chanmina's third album (October 2021) runs from the devotion of "SUN" and the uneasy love of "Angel" to the dry thank-you note of "A present from him", the lonely title track, and Tokyo life in "Whitekick". These words cover needing someone, calming down, breaking up and getting on with ordinary days.
