I need an 87-part series of Phil roasting rich people houses. I think that would fix me.

HALCALI SENSATION!!!

I was very, very excited to make this post! Halcali was probably one of the things that got me SUPERRRR into shibuya-kei so I really do adore it! It was 2002 and Haruka (Halca) and Yukari (Yucali) noticed a flier to become a female hip hop unit and… they were chosen (obviously)!

By 2003, HALCALI had released their debut single, “Tandem”, which entered the Oricon chart!

Now here comes the part I was REALLY excited about… HALCALI BACON (2003) is literally one of the coolest albums I’ve ever heard. HALCALI decided to leave behind mainstream J-pop and made a unique mix of rap and pop (also called bubblegum rap). It reached #5 on the Oricon chart, which made HALCALI the first female hiphop group to be in the top 10 in Japanese history! It has a total of 12 tracks:

1. Intro. Halcali Bacon

2. タンデム

3. ギリギリ • サーフライダー

4. 鳴呼ハルカリセンセーション

5. おつかれSUMMER

6. ハルカリズム "CANDY HEARTS"

7. Conversation of a Mystery

8. Peek-A-Boo

9. Hello,Hello,Alone

10.スタイリースタイリー

11. エレクトリック先生

12. 続 • 真夜中のグランド

This album was a big advancement in shibuya-kei, in my opinion. It was one the things that kickstarted the sort of hip-hop sound that you can find in many shibuya-kei tracks!

Many of these songs were produced by legendary shibuya-kei and rap artists which of course includes FPM (come on, we've already gone over this LOL)! I PERSONALLY think this is their best album, but of course that is up to the audience! HOWEVER, if you're going to listen to any of their albums, I think this would be the best pick of all!! I don't think any other of their albums convey the same mood that HALCALI BACON mastered, which is very sad :(

The albums to come weren't bad but they were just distant to what halcali had laid out with their debut album. They released a couple more albums, singles, etc before disbanding in 2013.

My top pick is…

I CAN'T choose a favourite song! I literally can't! Instead, I decided I will tell you about a song I believe deserves more attention: “Kono Sekai ni, Kono Ryote ni”, from the single “Strawberry Chips” (does this technically count as christmas music? LOL!) Of course, I also super mega recommend you to listen to HALCALI BACON!!! It's literally phenomenal!

P.S. I really didn’t know where to include this but the name HALCALI comes from mixing Halca (Haruka) and Yucali (Yukari)!!

Another bonus is that there is actually a tumblr blog dedicated to HALCALI! I totes recommend you check it out if you're interested! The user is @fuckyeahhalcali :)))

Thanks for reading!!!!!!!

Me when I first saw Manly's video on John Doe for the first time and finally found out Doe put your character through a time loop.

Sounds like something John Doe would say in one of the time loops with your Yousona.

Reach For The Stars

このブログでも何度か話題に出してますが、はい、そうです、大のベイスターズファンです。昨年は目の前で日本シリーズ優勝を見届けましたけど、セ・リーグ3位からの下剋上だと、盛り上がりはすれど、やっぱり奥歯に何かはさまった感じというか、忘れものがあるような感じでして、今年こそという思いでシーズンを迎えました。開幕戦見に行って気持ち良く勝ちましたが、、、すっかりDeNAの術中にはまっている気がする今日この頃。

そして今回は、そのDeNAの術中にはまって、見に行ってない試合後の音楽イベント～AFTER GAME B-PARTY～にわざわざ見に行ってしまったお話です。お目当ては、前回のGINGER ROOTを紹介したブログで引き合いに出したFPM（ファンタスティック・プラスチック・マシーン）。DJするっていうことで、行ってきました。

何、このチケット？って感じですよね。試合見た人はそのまま入れるんですけど、このイベントの為だけの500円のチケットです。家で試合を見届けてから、出かけて行きました。

DJは総勢5組、1組30分が持ち時間です。私らのライブによく似ています。（同じにするなって感じですが、、、）

登場するDJの方々がかける曲はですね、まぁ、ベイスターズのイベントですから、ベイファンを盛り上げなきゃいけないわけですよ。そうすると必然的にベイスターズ関連の曲が多くなるので、、、 ・球団歌 ・応援歌 ・選手の登場曲 ・ベイスターズファンを名乗るミュージシャンの曲 ・ベイスターズがモチーフになったドラマの主題歌 などなど。

という中FPMは4番目の出演でした。他のDJ同様にベイスターズのユニフォームを着て登場。（画質悪くてすみません、、、）

「関西出身だけど阪神ファンじゃない」と公言してスタート。何をかけるかと思ったんですけど、いきなり応援歌のひとつ、ライジングテーマからYMOのライディーンに繋がるという展開から始まりました。（ライジングテーマって言われてもベイファンしかわからないかと思いますが、暗黒時代にできた涙目になる応援歌です。）

自ら「みんなが知ってる曲かけます」と宣言してましたが、、、、覚えてる範囲ですけど山本リンダ、矢沢永吉、スターウォーズのテーマ、ニルヴァーナ、オアシスなどなど。 そうですねぇ、、、若い子は知らない曲もあったのでは、、、スターウォーズは、もしかすると全く気付いてない人がいたかもしれないくらい分かりにくかったかも。なんて書くとつまらなかったみたいな雰囲気になりますけど、そんなことございません。流石でした。個人的にはすごく楽しめました。もっと長く聞いていたかったですし、マニアックな曲も聞きたかった。けど、そこはハマスタイベントなので、こんなもんでしょう。かなり古い曲ですが、FPMのアルバムの曲はこんな感じです。

ベイスターズに引っ掛けて選曲してみました。Reach For The Stars　 今年こそリーグ優勝からの日本一だ！！！！ （なんで、この曲かけなかったんだろう、、、、ちなみに、DeNAに変わる前の昔の球団旗に書かれていたキャッチフレーズです）

こんな感じで2週間に１回のペースで載せてます。次回は5/3or4頃にUPする予定です。

Conceição do Lago Açu recorre à Justiça contra bloqueio de recursos do FPM

O pedido liminar busca suspender os efeitos do bloqueio e garantir a liberação imediata dos valores retidos.

O município maranhense de Conceição do Lago Açu entrou com um mandado de segurança contra a decisão do presidente do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Maranhão (TJ-MA), desembargador Froz Sobrinho, que determinou o sequestro de mais de R$ 9,6 milhões do Fundo de Participação dos Municípios (FPM). A medida, que prevê a retenção de parcelas mensais pelo Banco do Brasil, ameaça paralisar os serviços…

"BON VOYAGE!"

Fantastic Plastic Machine

As of now, Ive only talked about the EARLY days of shibuya-kei, but let's jump to 1997. Ex rock band member and DJ, Tomoyuki Tanaka started up his solo project: Fantastic Plastic Machine!

FPM made international fame that same year with his studio album, "The Fantastic Plastic Machine" and then went on to release his most popular album, "Luxury", in 1999!

You might know them from The Girl Next Door! Check out the song "Electric Lady Land", it might sound familiar!!! (Side note: Yukari Fresh is the lead vocal!)

Or perhaps, you know them from Spaced, which features 3 FPM songs! "Theme of Luxury", "S'il Vous Plait", and "There Must Be an Angel"!

Another pretty well known shibuya-kei group, HALCALI, has multiple songs that have been produced by FPM! Infact, one of their most popular songs, Otsukare Summer, was produced by FPM!!!! and as far as im concerned, they also produced music for hi-posi (live laugh love hi-posi ❤️)

------------------------------------------------------

My pick for this artist is...

GOD ANOTHER HARD PICK ONCE AGAIN!!! although I think i can safely say that my favourite tracks at the moment would have to be Strandgut + Moonboots and L'aventure Fantastique!!

In conclusion, THIS GUYS IS A GREAT LISTEN PLEASEEE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TRY HIS MUSIC OUT!!!!!!

VBA - FAIncy Pants Droid BETA v0.1 (Concept)

Fuck it, im leaking this mf idca

A miniboss for the digital art world. Keep in mind AI generated beings and digital are two different variants of digital art, as the earlier are interpretated as frankenstein-ish beings/biological anomalies (the later for this one) as digital characters are just about the same as any other sketch/inkline/whatever though their genetics are like the equivalent of water (it's still a bit complex to explain, I'm considering putting these things to study so i don't go off the rails earlier on)

Plus, HaiSuVe itself is a generative AI, no need to explain further

Anything else is written right there, so yeah
