	Comments:	* Add idiomatic glosses (not just literal explanatory one) * Add note on phrase usage – generally 胸が〜 (as indeed in 胸キュン, below) * Add example – seems esp. used for romantic sense (as per dict examples, and conversation) (Used in conversation today (referred to hearing from an old lover, and feeling a flood of emotions about the fond memories of their time together), hard to give idiomatic translation.) There’s also the noun 「胸キュン」 (this is what was initially used), and it’s on my list of “words to add later” (ja:WP page, 13,300,000+ hits).
