Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: harlock on June 09, 2005, 11:40:37 AM: HALCALI is the greatest J-rap group EVER!!! Yeah, I said it!!!!
Actually, I'm not a big J-rap fan AT ALL, but Halcali is really awesome and really cute!!

Post by: shirenuファクトリー on June 09, 2005, 01:11:48 PM: Thank you!! I loved their PVs so I wanna listen to their songs. TEEHEE!
Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: Uknowwho on June 09, 2005, 04:08:38 PM: They have a lot of skill, songs are catchy, and their lyrics are deep. Both albums are really good, Halcali Bacon and Ongaku no Susume. I suggest getting both; the mix album is pretty decent.
Favorite songs: Marching March, Tandem, Strawberry Chips

Edit: btw, they are J-pop.

Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: harlock on June 14, 2005, 07:48:50 AM: Here's another very funny PV from HALCALI!!! This is the PV for Electric Sensei, a spoof on Rip Slyme's Stepper's Delight. You kinda have to see that PV to fully enjoy this one, but it's still pretty funny on it's own.

Post by: bot on July 14, 2005, 02:24:31 PM: Halcali are awesome!!
You have got to see baby blue with the half pandas. and I love the strawberry chips PV too.....
Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: Asmodai on July 14, 2005, 03:45:44 PM: I've spent hours watching that PV trying to figure out the significance of the order in which the Pandas reveal themselves.

Ever wonder why the Hello Kitty Panda always turns last?
Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: JaisBane on July 14, 2005, 05:46:45 PM: Because he's the only panda that infringes on copyrights and they want to reduce the possibility of getting sued? :lol:

Actually, that couldn't be true, in japan you have to prosecute all the copyright infringers or you can't prosecute any. If they try to take you to court, all you have to do is present a document that is older than your violation and say "hey, they didn't sue these guys" and you can get off the hook. Well, theoretically...

But seriously, it has to be related to the fact that that panda is the only one that is a media icon. I imagine that they were trying to build up tension by revealing all the other pandas and then make you wait agonizingly for the last one to be revealed. You get very excited trying to guess what it is and when it will be revealed, so it turns out to be a great marketing tool. Or just a great cinematic device.

they haven't been doing much since twinkle star so i guess there's not much to talk about...o well. yucali is on domoto kyodai every week at least, but she doesn't get much air time :(
Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: Tanier on August 01, 2006, 12:57:43 AM: well they often update their blog... especially since yucali's birthday came up recently.... And domoto kyodai i haven't seen any. Is she a regular on that show. or did just have a bunch of appearances?
Title: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: halcali on August 01, 2006, 07:13:07 AM: she's a regular on the show but since the other female regulars are kyoko fukada and tomomi kahala, yucali is always off on the side :-S

i guess i should check out their blog more often. but i'm lazy to read in japanese lol. too time consuming

Post by: boykun on July 18, 2007, 07:44:49 AM: The Polysics produced song sounds very much like Kraftwerk, lol. Awesome combination. The one produced by Ramrider is pretty sweet too. I've been looking forward to that since the sakura remix he did for the nirgilis remix album. Sounds great so far.

Very good album now. I like it more than Bacon, probably my favorite out of the three. Working with different producers for every song was a brilliant idea.
Title: Re: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: Novaforever on July 25, 2007, 02:16:56 AM: Well Halcali just happens to be my favorite group ever! Ooo and a Halcali thread discussing the new album! Yay! *jumps into conversation*

I for one love the new album. I know a lot of fans are complaining about it being not as good as their older stuff or that it was flow issues, but I think it is a fun listen. Plus as always they have good producers working with them, in particular VERBAL's Koi no Bububun and POLYSIC's Cyborg Oretachi are catchy. I've been listening to the album almost constantly for the past few days and I'm not tired of it yet. I think overall quality wise Halcali Bacon (my favorite album of all time) and Ongaku no Susume are better, but Cyborg Oretachi is nothing to be ashamed of. I think everyone should pimp this album as much as they can!

On another note, I was actually in Japan when this album came out. And I really have to say that Sony Music did an absolutely terrible job of promoting it to the record stores and public. There were no posters and no new release board I found in Tokyo had Cyborg Oretachi listed on their upcoming releases board. It's really surprising that anyone knew this was coming out at all the way they dealt with it. Once the album had actually dropped the most you could expect for a display was a postcard sized sign next to a few copies. Namie Amuro had bigger displays and her album has been out for weeks (and okay she is sliiiightly more popular than Halcali).

It really isn't surprising that this album failed to make it into the top 20 on Oricon. But it's still a shame...

Title: Re: (Artist) HALCALI
Post by: Novaforever on May 20, 2008, 11:23:11 PM: Just got back from A Cen, so here is my play by play for any HALCALI fans out there. It's incredibly detailed, but i figured it was better than leaving out anything exciting that happened to me!

Convention was packed, as to be expected. As soon as I get inside I find the ticket/info booth where they are handing out tickets. I wanted to make sure that I got my ticket for the Friday concert just in case they happened to all disappear. Con goers were only allowed to get one concert ticket per badge, so you had to choose what day you wanted to see HALCALI. I was definitely one of the first few people to get a ticket as they were still marking our badges with a sharpie on the plastic (they ended up hole punching them later on). So I rubbed off the sharpie and got a Saturday ticket with my badge as well. I also, through mysterious ways and connections, get a dealer's room badge and used it to pick up another Saturday ticket for the concert for one of my friends.

A Cen, being poorly run, has a total lack of signs and it takes us about an hour to find the room where the HALCALI panel will take place. We get there about an hour before the panel and the lobby in front of the room is completely filled with people. I of course get immediately depressed and think that i'm too late to be the first one into the panel. Then a staff member came out of the room and said, "AMVs are canceled, they will be held at 4PM instead. HALCALI panel will run on time at 2PM." Everyone immediately clears out of the lobby, leaving the four of us and two other guys as the only people there to actually see HALCALI. This was almost as depressing as me not getting a good seat.

The room is set up terribly, with a stage in the front, obviously where HALCALI would sit, and a dance floor in front of that. All the chairs for the room run along the two sides. I was kinda sad, thinking i had waited for an excellent seat and all of the chairs weren't in front of HALCALI at all. Then this guy, who I assume was their American promoter(?) says that everyone can sit in front of the stage. I immediately run over to sit front row center in front of the two chair where HALCALI would be sitting. Yes! Their Promoter guy(?) stands on the stage and starts talking about HALCALI for those who don't know about them. Which is a majority of the room. Including their promoter (?). The guy obviously learned about HALCALI from the blurb in the A Cen book and said a few factual errors in his talk. He asked the audience what anime HALCALI had done music for. The one hardcore Eureka boy shouts out that series and the rest of the panel room is filled with chirping crickets. Seeing that no one else knew, I shout out Getsumen and PPG. The dude says that i'm obviously a fan (come on i'm wearing a HALCALI shirt!). He gets off the stage and says that the girls will come out after a video intro.

The video starts up. It mostly consists of 2 minute clips of all their PVs post Sony switchover and some Paris live footage. I'm enjoying them, and as soon as Twinkle Star comes on I start to tear up with the thought that I would soon be meeting my favorite group ever. I look over at the doors behind the screen and see Yucali poke her head into the room and I flip out. Movie ends...

...and HALCALI walks out onto the stage. I'm clapping as hard as I can and everyone else seems pretty happy (by now the panel room is filled by about 25 people...urgh). Halca sees my shirt and points to it and is all excited. They sit down and the panel begins. Promoter guy (?) asks them generically generic questions and there could have been so many better ones. He asks the audience if they have any questions for HALCALI as well. I of course have been thinking of what I could ask them for the past several months and have settled on the one questions that will make me the biggest ass-hat tool in the world. So I get called on and say, "First of all thanks for coming to Chicago. Meeting you is literally a dream come true for me. And my question: Can I be your number one American fan?" Yucali and Halca seemed amused and Yucali says yeah, which is good enough for me. By the end of the panel they also announce that HALCALI will be at Japan Day in NYC on June 1st. Well there is me spending another several hundred to go see them.

After the questions segment they open up a table for signatures. We get in line and promoter guy(?) announces that they will be signing official merchandise first and that there is some on sale at the back of the room. I toss my wallet to my friend and tell her to buy me two of everything and hold the line while she does so. I've been saving for this trip for a while now, so I wanted to go all out. She comes back with two of every style of shirt for me, and pin sets. I give her the shirt for my friend back home to get signed and get out my limited edition shirt for me and HALCALI's DVD and Bacon for my other friends to get signed respectively. Girl and Promoter guy (?) come around with little post it notes so that they can write people's names on them and stick them on the things that are getting signed so that HALCALI can spell everything right. I tell her that my name is Alice and get a sticky note. My other two friends get post it notes on their things with Alice as well, so three of us now have alice post it notes.

We finally make it to the front of the line and the staff is a little bit in shock at the number of shirts i've bought. Heh. I walk up and put my limited give away shirt down on the table and both HALCALI and staff are shocked. HALCALI gets all excited and ask me if it's the shirt from France and I say that it's the one from Japan from the giveaway. (keep in mind they ask things in Japanese and I attempt to answer in Japanese but fail horribly because i'm so excited at this point). They get even more impressed by this and are all excited. My other friend walks up with my HALCALI DVD. They see that the name on it is Alice as well and look back at me and laugh. They sign it and give it back to him and notice the adorable panda tattoo on his arm. They think it's awesome and ask about it and he tells them that I made it for him. They are like "whoa, Arisu!" Que other friend who then walks up with my HALCALI Bacon CD, complete with Alice post it on it, and they look at me again and laugh. I shoot them a thumbs up and am like "YEAH!" They point to the now discarded large pile of post it notes, all of the ones on top are Alice ones. They shift through them and are like "Arisu mo Arisu mo Arisu!" Everyone is happy.

I go to the concert Friday night and immediately position myself to be front row center. I turn to my friend and let her know that if they sing Twinkle Star, Giri giri, Electric Sensei, It's Party Time, Sister Ship, Check! Check it!, Wakakusa Dance, and Halcali Michi it would pretty much be a perfect show for me. I figured they would do maybe 3 of those or so. And hot damn if they didn't do basically all of them.
HALCALI skipped out on stage to an excellent mix of the Introduction track to Ongaku no
Susume (which i've always really loved). Halca sees me in the audience and gives me a wave. They have so much energy doing lives that it is amazing. They took a drink break every 4 songs or so, but mostly went straight from one song into another one. It was fantastic. I can't imagine the amount of stamina that had to have taken, it's not like they are really used to big shows like this. I'm not sure what I expected from HALCALI, but they were so much more... professional than I figured they would be. They messed around, but they just had this stage presence that made you KNOW it was the real deal. It was amazing. Plus during the line "bounce bounce" during Wakakusa Dance I actually bounced on time and Yucali was in front of me and shot me a double O Kay sign with her hands. Yesss. The set list ended up being:

1. It’s Party Time
2. Marching March
3. Girl! Girl! Girl!
4. Sister Ship
5. Check!! Check!! It!
6. Tip Taps Tip
7. Endless Lovers Rain
8. Giri Giri Surfrider
9. Wakakusa Dance
10. Halcali No Michi

I'm sad cause I thought for sure that they would to Twinkle Star, so I just start cheering for an encore. They come out again in the shirts that were on sale at their booth earlier and start immediately with Twinkle Star. Yay tears of joy! At this point i'm hoping against hope that the next song is Electric Sensei cause then it would be the perfect concert set list I hoped for. Instead Yucali announces that the next song they are singing was just recorded two weeks ago and that it is brand new. I flip the shit out, cause a brand new song is even better than Electric Sensei. The song, Zig Zag Saturday Night, was FANTASTIC. Like the best song they have made since Twinkle Star. I'm really curious as to who wrote it, or even if they did it themselves. I can't WAIT until that single comes out.

So Saturday comes. The HALCALI concert is fairly early in the day, starting at about 2. I show up super early and end up front row center, the exact same place I was for the first concert. HALCALI comes out and starts doing an excellent job all over again. They probably had even more energy than Friday night, possibly they were slightly less nervous? They try and talk a little more, but Yucali was obviously more confidant in trying her hand at English. I think most of the audience knew how hard they were trying and thought it was rather adorable. I quickly realize that the set list is different from the Friday concert and am soooo happy that I managed to get the tickets to go to both shows! Set list for Saturday was:

1. It’s Party Time
2. Koi no Bububun
3. Marching March
4. Girl! Girl! Girl!
5. Zig Zag Saturday Night
6. Sister Ship
7. Check!! Check!! It!
8. Tip Taps Tip
9. Endless Lovers Rain
10. Giri Giri Surfrider
11. A One Two
12. Wakakusa Dance
13. Halcali Michi
14. Twinkle Star
15. Tandem
16. Continue

YAY! They ended up doing Tandem as part of the encore. They were looking toward the audience for suggestions. I started off saying Electric Sensei, but more people on my side of the room were saying Tandem. I figured I might as well join them if it meant that they wouldn't be doing TTT again. So I start cheering Tandem with the others and they end up performing it. The song was all set up, so maybe they expected it? Regardless they did the dance and everything, it was perfect! Yay! And then they ended with Continued, which is such a good way to finish off a concert.

So post concert i'm very happy again and skip off to the dealers room where they will be doing another signing, this time with pictures. HALCALI goes up to the booth and they see me in line and wave to me and start yelling "arisu! arisu!" Yes. HALCALI freakin' knows my name. All is right with the world. Eventually their promoter guy(?) comes around with the sticky notes again and sees me in line and laughs and give me and all my friends Alice sticky notes for my albums and singles. We get up to the front of the line and HALCALI was all excited to see me again. I wave to them and talk to them a little, all very broken japanese i'm sure as I was very nervous. My friend points to me and says, "remember she's is your number one American fan." HALCALI starts saying energetically, "OH yeah! NO DOUBT NO DOUBT" It was amazing.

One of the staff members asks me if I want some pictures with HALCALI and I of course say yes. I turn and let them know that I want them to make a silly face with me. They get all excited and say that of course they will.

I sort of step off to the side until my other friends get up there with my singles. They see that those are for me too and crack up. I jump in for another picture with them. This time I fulfilled my life goal of getting to respect knuckles HALCALI. Dream come true! Plus Halca's face is perfect!

So Sunday comes and with it another HALCALI signing. I get to the Bandai booth about an hour early and ask where the line will be starting for HALCALI so I can be first in line. HALCALI ends up getting there a little late, but energetic all the same. Are they ever really without energy? They sit down at the table and see me and start waving and yelling my name across the way at me. I wave back happily. They know my name for sure and it rocks. They guy shows up with the post its again and tells me that I don't get one. HALCALI agrees and say that they know my name for sure! They sign my three shirts from the American event (those are so getting signed and going up on my wall!) Halca gets all sad and says that she will miss me. I tell her that she shouldn't worry, i'll see her in New York City. Both Halca and Yucali are totally shocked and say, "you are gonna go to NYC to see us?!" And I said that I would definitely definitely be there. They get all excited.

Bandai said that you would only get pics with HALCALI there if you bought something from the booth. One of their staff members asks me if I want some more pics with them. I was a little shocked and said that I didn't buy anything from the booth. He just smiled at me and said that it was the special 'Alice Service,' and that I could take as many pics as I wanted for a bit. He said that they were really happy to meet me and could feel my passion. I was of course extremely happy at this and got two more awesome shots with them. They told me they wanted to do a silly faces pic with me again.

It was really fun and when I went to leave they yelled 'mata aimashou' at me and said they would see me in NYC and it was a sad but cool parting.

Hot damn i really just met my favorite group in the whole world.

And it was amazing.

Haruka turns 24 years old today, 4月21日-
Wishing Haruka a great day, spent with family and friends, and hoping the year
