Yeah that’s right you heard me!
It’s a fantastic return by Halcali. Personally I think this has the power to get them to be major players in the Japanese music scene again. But you’ll just have to watch the video for the impact yourself!
So check it out, and of course, discuss on the forums!

Ken M has written another blog entry about HALCALI, this time explaining some of the Japanese pop cultural references found in GiriGiri Surf Rider. Check out his latest Japan Live blog entry.

HALCALI’s release date of 11/12 is filled with major players. They will be competing on the charts against the GOSPELLERS, DREAMS COME TRUE, Mika Nakashima, SPEED, and ORANGE RANGE. Arashi and yuzu both have singles coming out the week before hand as well, which are most likely going to stick around on the charts too. Even though it’s an anime theme and will probably have higher sales because of that fact, every sale of this single counts! Let’s try and get HALCALI into the top 10!
Translated versions of the Naruto ED are starting to show up on YouTube.
I can’t figure out how to embed things on this page yet, so for now I refer you to this forum link.
These (supposedly) are the lyrics to the part of Long Kiss Good Bye that is the Naruto ending. Accurate? I have no idea. Just copying what was in the info section of a YouTube video.
What made me think
“How can you say that with a straight face?” when you asked, “When will we meet again”
Anytime you talk too much, I know you don’t get it.
For a moment, I see your bluff and I cry.
Do my tears even work on you?
I keep saying “I want to be loved”
in my own special way, but you still don’t get the hint.
I have this nagging feeling
that I’ll never see you again…
I wish I could tell you, but I can’t find the words.
Maybe I’d rather listen to you lie,
I can’t even say “Don’t leave me.”
When you let go of my hand, will you forget about me?
I wish I could tell you, but I can’t find the words.
Maybe I’d rather listen to you lie, I can’t even say “Don’t leave me”
Forum member gilgameHEARTS posted a list of their live events today. Here is a copy of his latest information.
SO!
HALCALI’s official site isn’t the best on updating their lives. -_-★HALCALI will be the opening act for “CANDY STRIPPER MUSIC!” at ZEPP TOKYO on October 13th. It was apparently just announced. Got my ticket!
(4500en T_T EXPENSIVE!)
Other artists attending include THE PREDATORS, PUFFY and MEG, among others.★HALCALI will also be in Fukuoka on November 15th doing a live. Too far for me. T_T
★Next is “Onna-ku sai, Otoko-ku sai” on December 15th at LIQUID ROOM in Ebisu. I’m REALLY excited for this one because among HALCALI is KIMURA KAELA! and Salyu and イェール (Yeeru). But I don’t know those two. Tickets go on sale at the end of this month for another steep 4500en, but I’m still going!
★And last but most certainly not least is “COUNTDOWN JAPAN 08/09″. I can’t wait for this. This is going to be so excellent. I’m TOTALLY putting down the 30,000 for a 4day pass.
If there are more lives decided in the future for the remainder of the year, I’ll post them here. Hopefully there will be even more because as Yucali told me, “We’re going to have tons!”
