It refers to chlorinated lime: the chlorine pellets dropped into pools to disinfect them. According to Ringo, "Because one of my staff said the smell of karuki was really like the smell of semen, I came to think 'Oh, karuki, how pretty'" (News23). The word Samen (semen in English) is also German. Chestnut flowers smell like semen. Basically, this album title refers to semen and things that smell like semen. back to Ringo Shiina
