Hilcrhyme’s classic and popular songs
Let me introduce a two-person rap unit, Hilcrhyme, consisting of TOC and DJ KATSU.
In 2009, they released “Shunkashuto” (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), which became a huge topic at the time, hitting number one across various charts such as ringtone rankings, Oricon, and the cable broadcast charts.
The appeal of their music lies in how catchy and easy to listen to it is, even while being rap, which won them great popularity.
Despite their catchy style, the MC TOC used to belong to a hip-hop unit called NITE FULL MAKERS and reportedly performed at B BOY PARK, Japan’s largest hip-hop event.
Now, please enjoy the music of Hilcrhyme, a group with a formidable hip-hop backbone.

WARAE〜In The Mood～Hilcrhyme
This is the 20th single, released in 2016, which boldly samples the jazz standard “In the Mood” throughout.
This cheerful song celebrates the importance of smiling and laughing, and it’s so full of fun that just listening to it will make you smile.
THE AMBITIONHilcrhyme
It’s a hip-hop track that radiates extraordinary fighting spirit and stirs up a fire in the listener.
Created by Hilcrhyme, it’s included on the album “24/7 LOVE,” released in November 2024.
The song expresses the stance of a challenger and a strong will to face adversity.
It reminds us of the importance of continually moving forward toward our dreams and goals, making it perfect for moments when you want to fire yourself up or boost your motivation.
RunHilcrhyme
Hilcrhyme is a music duo that has gained popularity with tracks rooted in hip-hop, interweaving sounds like piano and strings.
Their single “Hashire,” released digitally on October 14, 2023, was featured as an in-film song in the movie “Okashira-tsuki.” Its powerful lyrics feel like a push on the back—cleverly rhymed and encouraging to troubled hearts.
With a refreshing yet grand ensemble that evokes a tailwind, it’s a catchy pop tune you’ll want to sing at karaoke.
DramaHilcrhyme
Hilcrhyme is a hip-hop solo project by TOC.
Active since 2006, they’ve consistently released hit songs up to the present.
Among Hilcrhyme’s tracks, one I especially recommend is Drama.
Released as the theme song for the TV series Enjiya Re:act, this piece encapsulates Hilcrhyme’s signature pop-friendly, easy-to-sing rap style.
Despite the sharp, punchy melody, the vocal line is very simple—so give it a try.
My Christmas CarolHilcrhyme
Hilcrhyme is a hip-hop duo best known for their hit “Shunkashuto” (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter).
People in their twenties might feel especially familiar with them.
This track from their 2011 album “RISING” is a Christmas song that depicts clumsy love, marked by a conversational flow.
It’s a slightly bittersweet yet celebratory carol—a song of joy.
For those who usually can’t express their feelings honestly but want to convey them through song, this is a perfect pick.
It’s also fun that it samples the “Jingle Bells” melody.
