Duo's Biography

Hilcrhyme (ヒルクライム) is a Japanese hip-hop duo from Niigata Prefecture signed to Universal Music Japan. They are best known for their 2nd single Shunkashuutou, which was used as the ending theme for CDTV in September 2009.

The group's name is a portmanteau of the words "hill climb" and "rhyme".

Random Fact

Hilcrhyme had a hand in writing/composing a song titled Naiyou no Nai Tegami (内容の無い手紙) which's found as track #12 in NEWS's 2010's 4th album LIVE & it's really a song worth checking out as I feel the duo did such a great job by doing this for NEWS .

TOC wrote the lyrics for Naiyou no Nai Tegami while he co-composed it with KATSU
