I assume the cover art is featured on their official website :P And yes, it's in my signature, too. :yes I love the bright colours! ^^v

ou!! そうですね～ I check it!! and the preview for LOOK is in there sugoi~

The single cover looks painful. :trout

But it's about time we've had something new to listen to too! Definitely looking forward to this release.

^ :laugh Painful? It looks playful to me :P

They haven't released a single since the beginning of this year! :weep So, I really look forward to this one..I already pre-ordered the first press with the DVD :P

^I ordered the cd+dvd version already too!

I like the cover, although...it does look like it might have hurt :P

I hope the PV will be fun :D I want another album from them soon though...even though, at this rate, it seems like they might not release an album for another year :(

Well, this will be their third major single, so maybe we can hope for a new album sometime in the first half of next year?

*crosses fingers*

Have you guys watched the PV for LOOK yet? I thought it was okay...but the song doesn't really sound like their style :( Well, still looking forward to the single.

I was actually surprised with how much I enjoyed the song and PV.

I love the PV's concept. And the bit at the end! I guess the kept they christmas tree costumes. XD

I liked the duck slippers. :heart I wonder how on earth I'm going to find them though.

And do you think they managed to solve the Rubik Cube in the end? :shrug

I liked the ducky slippers too ^-^

So cute.

HAhaa

And no. There is no way in hell they managed to solve the rubik's cubes :P


Man....Yucal's new haircut is freakin' adorable! >.<

I kind of want to get my hair cut like Yucali's ^^; It is quite cute :D

I want them to release another Clips DVD....with BABY BLUE! and all that. :P But I guess they don't have enough PVs to do that yet...:(

Yucali is hotness these days. :faint

Alrighty Benny...o_O

After watching the PV a few more times, it's grown on me. :yes I can't wait for the single to arrive at my house around Christmas now :D

I just got into halcali and I love the song twinkle star and baby blue! Doe s anyone know where i can downlaod the baby blue song and aprevie of the new song look?

^ I had made a thread of their discography before, but I think the Sendspace links have expired already x_x I'll try to get those re-uploaded sometime soon.

That would be greta I have their bacon album now its so good MMMMMM BACON

^ I'll let you know when I get around to it. Remind me in about two weeks if I haven't done anything about the re-uploads ^^;;

So..just wondering, who has pre-ordered or is planning to buy [LOOK] single? :D

I pre-ordered it!
Along with Kuu's Cherry Girl/Unmei and Black Cherry. :P

Has anyone else listened to the preview for Sister Ship?
Sounds ridiculous! >o<

Sister Ship? Is that the other song on the single? o_o I haven't listened to it yet. :(

Well, the single will be out next week :D I can't wait! ^^

Halca's Xmaz nailz

Cute picture! Where did you get the picture? It's not from their blog o_O (at least I haven't seen the blog entry yet!)

i took it myself

^_^







XD

do it!

i think the song is really cute, and definitely sounds more HALCALI than a lot of their major singles so far.
i preordered it as soon as it was available. :D

Well since the thread asks what we think of them, here's my answer: I'm not a fan. I listened to their newest single (forgot the name) in HMV today and found the singer's voice to be slightly irritating. Then again, that's only my first time hearing them, and it was only part of one song.

hey, thats ok. if youre interested in them, id suggest checking out their older stuff first. like girigir surfrider and strawberry chips. :)

and there are two singers: halca and yucali - halcali :D

WOAH, nobody posted in this thread for so long.

Anyways, their new single is now up at Jpopsuki!! :)

yeah not many people here seem all that into halcali.
and their releases can be sporadic sometimes. :/

im waiting for my copy of the single to arrive before i listen to any of it!
i ordered from yesasia, so i hope i get the extra packaging that some places are giving with the single.

I'll post the new single details, since it hasn't been posted yet.

NEW SINGLE
「Re:やさしい気持ち」
HALCALI
2009.2.11 OUT
ESCL-3145
¥1,020 (tax in)

Tracklist:

01 Re:やさしい気持ち
02 Orange Sunset


Credits: JPM

「Re:やさしい気持ち」, "Re: Yasashii Kimochi" translates to "Re: Kind/Nice Feelings".

Oh really? Thanks for the info.

And about the thread title, hmm... maybe we can get a mod to change it or something.

^ What would the thread name be changed to?

I dunno, something along the lines of: The Official HALCALI Thread

or something like that. Anything is better than the current title. XD

Do you have any suggestions on what you want the thread title to be changed to?

Discover HALCALI's Nice Feelings in the 1st Thread
Gaze at the Orange Sunset in the HALCALI Official Thread

Those titles are definitely better than my plain/generic title, LOL.

OH... I love the second one!! Wow, it's pretty creative. Which one do you choose?

Do you want to PM a mod to change it, or do you want me to?

Let's go with the second title and you can PM a mod.

Ok, sure, I'll PM a mod to change it then. :)

Their new single is a cover of a Chara song.

^
Isn't it actually an answer to her song? I don't actually know because I'm not that much into them, but it's called Re: 'something' and it uses parts of the original songs and some new ones, isn't it? Or am I just mistaken?

^no, youre right LEOyumi.

youre exactly right. :)

^ Yep, it samples Chara's Yasashii Kimochi.

YAY!!! So, the thread title is now changed!!! :)

It's so much better now. Woot! ^^

Party for the thread title!

Definitely! Hehe. :)

I listened to Orange Sunset for the first time today, and I really think the b-side song is really good. What I like most about it is the guitar parts, which really make the song good. And also, it is a very nice and slow song that is very relaxing to listen to as well.

^ Do have to agree with the relaxation bit. :yes
Like Orange Sunset more than Re:Yasashii Kimochi. More than likely that's due to Chara's voice not been sampled the same time Halca and Yucali are singing. Must say for two girls that rap, their singing voices are really good.

I like their songs, TIP TAPS TIP (spelling?), and Twinkle Star, and a few others, oh yeah, Baby Blue, and Long Kiss Good-Bye.

I want a new single soon though. *__*

For the longest time I didn't know they were singing 'tip taps'

Really? What did you hear them singing instead then? XD Or do you mean something different? *unsure*.

^ I don't know what I thoguht. I just didn't hear 'tip taps'. Had to ask a friend of mine and she told me.

^ I actually thought it sounded like "tip tops" in the song, yeah, I have to agree, it doesn't really sound like they are saying "tip taps", lol.

From JPM:

It's ok. Never really been a fan of JUDY AND MARY.

I uploaded the full song:

http://sharebee.com/17a0c8c6

Prior to this tribute album, I have never even heard of Judy and Mary before, lol. >_>

hmm...this thread has been kinda dead ._.

well, i'm happily procastinating today and i rediscovered halcali watching the long kiss goodbye pv! i use to have TWINKLE STAR on repeat, but after i got a new laptop and switched to listening to kpop, i seemed to have forgotten about them.

must catch up on them~ i love how they're so unique.

I hope they release a new single or something in the summer.

And maybe a new album sometime after that. ^^

A summer single would be excellent!

Yes, I agree, a single in summertime would be good!

Maybe something new and refreshing, I hope so.

There's nothing new with HALCALI as far as I know (music release-wise), but I am posting links to places where you can
find the latest news on them, if you want to keep up-to-date with what they have been doing so far recently:

http://www.halcalisensation.com (fansite, includes blog translations, and new pictures).

Also check out their halcali forum @ http://www.halcalisensation.com/forum

It seems like they have kind of fallen off the world. . .

I personally don't like it when artists or groups don't release music for a long time. It makes me lose interest in them (Ai Otsuka, Namie Amuro, etc.)

But what can you do though right? T_T

The news we have been waiting for! A new single!

Check out the youtube video, there's a preview of the new song.

Did that signle ever come out?

^ I don't ever remember it being avaiable now I think about it.
