"Halcali":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcali is a prefab J-Pop/Hip Hop girl duo from Japan. Their name is a combination Haruka (Halca) and Yukari (Yucali). The two girls auditioned for the group when they were in school. When they got the parts they didn't know what Hip Hop was. Their music is fun and free spirited and the lyrics are pretty nonsensical. Their first album Halcali Bacon came out in 2003. They have a huge and devoted following worldwide. To date they have 3 albums, several singles, and a remix album. I read somewhere that Fantastic Plastic Machine had a hand in putting together their first couple of albums. They thought he was just some fat guy. They don't make serious music but it's fun. I don't like all of their tracks but what I do like makes up for that flaw. If you enjoy this then please do not watch their YouTube videos. They're awful. It almost ruined some songs for me. It's not awful in a kitschy "oh those wacky Japanese people" kind of way. It's just bad. Hope you like these tracks. I'm not always into J-Pop but there something slightly different about Halcali that I quite like.
