Chara earned her nickname as a schoolchild from her teacher (charachara means "scatterbrained") and has been called such ever since. She has always been musically involved, she began composing music in her later years of elementary school and played keyboard in a band from her second year of high school.
One of the things that defines Chara's music is her singing voice. It is often described as sweet and whispering like a child's, yet forceful and sincere. Despite her very distinctive singing voice, Chara considers herself a musician first and foremost; proficient with instruments such as the piano, drums, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, synthesizer and tambourine. There are common themes to a lot of her music, including motherhood, innocence, love, beauty, and cheerfulness.
She has appeared as one of the main characters in 'Swallowtail Butterfly' movie and sang all the songs. The album 'Montage' is actually a vocal collection from this movie, that's why it was released under the name of Yen Town Band - which is a fictional band from the story. She has also starred in 'PiCNiC' where she played the mental patient Coco. She would go on to marry her co-star Asano Tadanobu (浅野忠信) in 1995. Currently, the pair have two children, a daughter Sumire (born 1995) and later a son Himi (born 1999).

step into a new me
壊れた誰かが不安です
step into a new me
つぎあわせて愛の実守って
step into a new me
育てて何度でも再生
step into a new me
彼はごう慢になって
悲しみをつれて 虹を見てた
君が好きな自由って 壊れた砂時計
私だけひろって... ここにいるよ
call me 私の中に
call me 続けて呼んで
ぶつけていいのよ 本当のことを
ときめかない 突き抜けたい
心に 愛の中に
calling,
what I never had insight
calling,
what I never felt inside
見つめていたいの 本当のことを
It's calling me,
calling me, today
身勝手な有害が拡張
意識して減らしていかなくちゃ...
不満だけの甘えは退場よ yeah
憶えるわ
わかんない 軽薄か聡明?
居るの?

期待しない未来はこないでね
通れるの?

It's calling me,
calling me, today
見つめてそばにいてほしい

The song "call me" by Chara is a beautiful ballad about the need for emotional connection and the struggle to understand oneself. The lyrics speak to the challenge of growth and the fear that comes with the unknown. The chorus opens with the lines "Call me, inside of me / Keep calling me" expressing the desire to be understood and accepted, both by others and by oneself. The lyrics continue to explore the fear of instability and the need for love to be nurtured and maintained.
The song touches on a range of emotions, with one particularly poignant moment being when the singer sings "You liked the freedom of the broken hourglass / I'll pick up the pieces all alone." These lines illustrate the pain of loving someone who is not capable of reciprocating or valuing love, a sentiment that many people can relate to. The line "It's calling me, calling me, today" speaks to the idea that despite the difficulties and uncertainty, the need to connect and love remains.
Overall, Chara's "call me" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores universal themes of fear, growth, and the need for connection.
