Halcali
OMFG I just found out that my favorite teenage Japanese pop-hop duo will be performing in Central Park next weekend
After a month of (hopefully) serious, contemplative posts here, I get to jump around in the front row like an goofy fanboy. Wheeeeeeeee!

The strawberry chips remix was the first halcali thing I saw, lol. I was suprised that they did not sound like that, since it was the first thing I heard. Delighted to find out later that the whole video was made with their old pv material
Oh yea there is a mp3 rip of the chicago concert they had a while ago (2 weeks maybe), it contains a new song !!! It is here, just click on Halcali at ACEN to download. http://halcali.blogspot.com/2008/05/...-york-gig.html I need some more material from halcali and another song with polysics (all of polysics not just hiro like last time... well it can just be fumi-sama thats cool, lol). Also why no baby blue PV? It was one the cutest things ever devised by a japanese person, lol J/K but it was awesome!

HALCALI day by day is just overflowing with great info, personal accounts, videos etc. of the Chicago shows. I really envy those fans, getting so much one on one time with Halca and Yucali. I'm worried that the Central Park show will be much more impersonal, since they are sharing the stage with other bands, and just a small part of a big Japan-themed day.
Japan Day should prove to be lots of fun. Free curry, gyoza dumplings, gyudon over rice, mabo tofu don, and sanuki udon noodles...I'm skipping breakfast. re. Baby Blue, I'll post a block of Halcali on my youtube thread soon, undoubtedly. |

I would sell my body for good gyoza.... I am a gyoza whore with no exaggeration, and now they are giving it away free, I hate you new york people. Why doesn't stuff come to jacksonville, oh yea we are a back wood hick city, lol sorry.
Well halicali has the most interesting videos I have seen. In my opinion they are some of the best the j-world has to offer. I love seeing the two girls together, they look like they have so much fun together... and I think that flows over to their videos. The girls can dance plus they are funny. I have been checking halcali day by day for a while now, but its been slow because of their japanese popularity, but I'm behind the girls, if they make their way to the south, I'll catch a plane to see them.

I love gyoza too. In Tokyo, my lunch more often than not was zarusoba and gyoza. Here in NYC I head down to Chinatown for dumplings. Tiny little stores, with maybe two or three tables, and fried dumplings five for a dollar. $3 and I'm full and happy.

Really? I haven't looked at this thread yet because I was thinking of some other band. Some terrible VK band with horrible screaming vocals. This is definitely much better than I was expecting. Reminds me of Genki Rockets.

I've only listened to the songs in this thread. After listening to Sister Ship, I immediately popped in Lumines to play/listen to Heavenly Star by Genki Rockets.

I just posted a block of Halcali PV's on my YouTube thread.
I'm a bit disappointed by Cyborg, although some songs are very good. Many fans are worried that Sony doesn't really know what to do with the band, and Sony's promotions of their recently released material has been pretty weak. Hopefully, with the excellent response Halcali has generated in France and the US recently, Sony will pay them some more attention. My favorite song is probably "HALCALISM 'Candy Hearts'" from Bacon, but my favorite album is Ongaku no Susume. This is a minority view in Halcali fandom, but I like the variety on this CD. A couple of songs are really lame, but the best ones are among my favorites. |

I agree about susume... Some songs suck, but the strong song are strong (imo). I believe that for the amount of stuff they have released, I really am addicted to them. I think their PVs really made me fall in love with them. Well the variety of susume is nice imo. I think its good that they can do other things and still be so darn cool... I am a rap fan (well used to be), so thats why I can't like any other one as much. But it seems like after france they are getting more attention. It would be interesting if they had a bigger european/american fanbase than a japanese one. Well I really would like to see them head in a rap direction. But I think they will stay in the more pop style. (seeing as the new song they did in chicago was kinda poppy...but I liked it ) But its really good to hear they are recording new music .
