Continuation: Midnight GrandHALCALI
I’m drawn to works that seem to gently bottle up the thrill of sneaking into the schoolyard at night and the beauty of the starry sky spreading overhead.
Miho Moribayashi handled the lyrics and composition, and it’s a touch different from their usual laid-back rap—the poignantly cute programmed sound really hits you.
This track closes out the album HALCALI BACON, released in September 2003.
There’s even an adorable anecdote from production meetings where they ate cake and played with a dog.
Unlike the other tracks on the album, which lean heavily into hip-hop, this one is a mellow pop number.
Listen to it on a late-night walk, and your familiar streets might feel like a scene from a movie.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to bask in memories of youth.
