I'm excited for the album to be out next week wahoo , I can't wait to get it *O*

LOL GO UTADA <33333333333333

If MESSAGE were to be released some other time, I would've thought they'd get #1. But since they're up against Utada, that's obviously not happening.

well it's ok since Recital didn't get #1 & that goes for their other singles

they don't have any pressure to get #1 so I'm ok with it

Shampoo PV

ah it's not fair , how come Shampoo's PV is not included in MESSAGE's DVD ? D: :grumpy

anyway it's 1 of my fave album tracks in MESSAGE so I wasn't surprised to see it get a PV & with it being the lead promo album track

I also like Moon Rise , BOYHOOD & MESSAGE BOX from the new album , I should be getting it next week as my Christmas present from Cherry Dynamite :D

Shampoo PV is up for download here

Hilcrhyme celebrates release of “MESSAGE” with fan event

http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5149/20101129hil.jpg

Yesterday, on November 28th, hip-hop duo Hilcrhyme held a special fan event at the Kawasaki Lazona to celebrate the release of their second original album, “MESSAGE.”

The venue was packed with fans for the special launch event. Members TOC and DJ KATSU put on quite the show and performed the album tracks “Daijoubu,” “Travel Machine,” “Shampoo,” as well as some other new songs for a total set of eight tracks. The two members were incredibly happy with the performance.

They commented afterwards, “We used to play lives in this venue, but only as an opening act. We would have to sell our CDs ourselves and maybe sell ten copies. It is a bitter memory, but today there are so many people who came for us, and our bitter memories are becoming good memories.”

After the live, they held a lottery for the fans in the audience with signed CDs and T-shirts as prizes. TOC closed out the event by saying, “I’m happy so many people came to see us for the first time today. We start our tour on January 9th, so please come see us when we stop nearby!
