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.

Hilcrhyme’s classic and popular songs (41–50)
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.

A father’s creedHilcrhyme
Hilcrhyme’s “Chichi no Kokoroe” (A Father’s Guide) portrays the happiness of a dad spending a day off with his children.
It’s a track from the 2022 album “SELFISH,” expressing the different ways a girl and a boy spend their time.
The piano-driven ballad is striking, as is TOC’s vocal delivery—he sings as if savoring each word.
It’s a heartwarming number that offers a glimpse into TOC’s own feelings as a father of two and his way of connecting with his kids, so be sure to sing it to your children!
Jitsujitsu-ai feat. Izumi Nakasone (HY)Hilcrhyme
Featuring Izumi Nakasone, the vocalist/keyboardist of HY, Hilcrhyme presents their first-ever female feature! It’s the theme song for the drama “Watashi Danna o Share Shiteta” (I Shared My Husband).
It might even become a popular choice for karaoke duets.
Hilcrhyme himself wrote the lyrics from the female perspective of the drama’s protagonist.
Try listening or singing with that image in mind and immerse yourself emotionally!
Vermilion HeronHilcrhyme
This is a song that was released together with “Personal COLOR.” When Hilcrhyme performed their first arena live in Niigata, TOC made his entrance from above like the Japanese crested ibis, Niigata’s prefectural bird.
The venue at the time was Toki Messe in Niigata—truly an ibis-themed affair from start to finish.
