The members are: MC TOC and DJ KATSU.
DJ KATSU came up with the idea of a hip-hop group in 2001, but it wasn't until 2004 when he formed Hilcrhyme with TOC. The duo released a demo album, Nettaiya (熱帯夜), in March 2007. On July 23, 2008, Hilcrhyme released their debut independent single, "Mou Bye Bye" (もうバイバイ). The single reached #4 on the Oricon indie chart, and the music video was accessed 100,000 times on YouTube, leading them to a major debut offer.
In 2009, Hilcrhyme signed with Universal Music Japan and made their major debut in July with the single, "Jun'ya to Manami" (純也と真菜実). The following September, they released their second single, "Shunkashuutou" (春夏秋冬), which became a great success by staying several weeks in the Oricon weekly top ten. Their first major debut album, Recital (リサイタル), was released in January 2010, followed by their second album, MESSAGE, in November 2010 and third, RISING, in December 2011.

The song "Childplay" by Japanese band Hill Climb is an upbeat and energetic tune about embracing one's inner child and never ceasing to play. The song's repeating refrain of "Let's Childplay" encourages listeners to let go of their fears of failure and regret and instead play freely and joyfully. The lyrics also touch on the power of words and music to inspire and connect people, with the line "1 to 10 to 1000, a circle that grows without us realizing" suggesting the collective impact of sharing and enjoying creative expression.
The song's use of wordplay and onomatopoeia, such as the lines "toki kicks right now" and "dano doubt," adds to its playful and catchy nature. The imagery of the "diamonds" and "rubies" within each individual, representing their unique talents and dreams, encourages listeners to keep exploring their passions and pursuing their goals. Overall, "Childplay" is a fun and uplifting anthem for anyone who wants to infuse their life with a sense of childlike wonder and creativity.
