HALCALI is not HALICALI and tommy heavenly6 needs to STOP
HALCALI - Long Kiss Good bye
I’ve always thought HALCALI’s name was HALICALI. I was pretty disappointed when I finally noticed the error of my ways. HALICALI just has a better ring to it, whereas HALCALI is boring. I’m trying to not let this disappointment cloud my impeccable judgment, but it is very difficult.
I’m not a huge HALCALI fan and I should point that out before going further. They’ve always been this quirky group. That’s fine, but I wasn’t feeling it. “Long Kiss Good Bye” is a little more relaxed and I’m enjoying it.
The video itself still shows HALCALI retains a bit of their quirkiness. But the clothes and their clashing colors and the camera effects seem more effective when the gimmick of the group isn’t “look how wacky we can be.”

I’m fed up with Kawase Tomoko. I still haven’t heard anything about the brilliant green. Was I right about the b-side of “Ash Like Snow” being their swan song?
PAPERMOON is pretty much the same release as the last tommy heavenly6 single, “Ash Like Snow.”
They don’t sound that different.
There’s the red eye effect from “Ash Like Snow.”
There’s Tommy riding the motorcycle from “Ash Like Snow.”
The video is memorable, but not for the right reasons. The best parts are Elec making some suspect facial gestures and the tin man wailing away at his guitar during a drum solo.
I’m not sure if using the Wizard Of Oz characters means anything or if this was just another tommy quirk. I hope it means that Tomoko is at the end of her Tommy dream and is returning home soon. But there was no symbolic clicking of the shoes at the end of this video, so the nightmare continues!
Why am I so down on Tommy heavenly6? I mean, she’s trying something different, right? Except she’s been trying something different for years now, and I don’t think it’s working anymore. Tommy heavenly6 was better as the counterpart to Tommy february6, not her own persona. They were both characters of a pop and rock star. I’m not reading Tommy heavenly6 as a character anymore, but what Tomoko actually wants to be. If that’s the case, I’d rather she just declare the brilliant green dead once and for all. And definitely not use the brilliant green for Tommy heavenly6 releases.

Better late than never! I spent all that time reading and gathering responses to Misa’s J-Music Survey that I never got around to answering it myself.
It’s A Sick, Disgusting Job
But it’s gotta get done!
It’s spring summer who cares cleaning time here at the TLS Headquarters. I have so much stuff that needs to be thrown out. I have to evaluate each piece of paper and every single knick-knack that comes my way before I dispose of it. I am doing a better job today, cutting loose things that are simply unnecessary. It’s been an adventure as I have already jammed, and unjammed, a paper shredder. And of course, I vacuumed up the paper clip that I used to unjam the paper shredder.
What does this have to do with Japanese music?
I have to stay motivated to clean! Otherwise, I’ll slack off and spend the day reminiscing, reading lousy undergrad papers and old birthday cards. I need so music that isn’t boring (Aya Matsuura ballads need not apply) to keep me awake. So here’s my playlist for the job:
the brilliant green
- Bye Bye Mr.Mug
- Ai no Ai no Hoshi
- Stand by me
- Tsumetai Hana
- You and I
- Mister Moon
- Falling Star In Your Eyes
- That Boy Waits For me
- Kuroi Tsubasa
- Day After Day
- Sono Speed de
- Rainy Days Never Stay
Do As Infinity
- Another
- Kuusou Ryodan
- Good For You
- Wadachi
- Kagaku no Yoru
- Oasis
- Tangerine Dream
- Tooku Made
GOING UNDER GROUND
- Train
- Twister
- Sentiment Express
- MIRAGE
- RUMBLE
BoA
- Shine We Are!
- DO THE MOTION
- Sparkling
Namie Amuro
- WoWa
- GIRL TALK
- NEW LOOK
- ROCK STEADY
- WHAT A FEELING
- Never Shoulda
I’m also listening to Arcade Fire, not that it really applies to anything else here.

Music I’m Attached To
When pengie from unchained asked if anyone had emotional attachments or memories to songs, I knew that I had to answer. When I am considering songs, I don’t think of insane guitar/drum solos or soothing percussions. I am aware that certain instruments can trigger moods and emotions, but I don’t actively consider this.
It is a very subjective way to look at it, but sometimes the timing of when you hear a song is just as, if not more so, important as the quality of the song itself. I find it hard to separate myself from myself and look at music through an objective mind.
