HAL Discography

By Djenar Siti

Hal is a group of Japanese producers that started to work in 2000. They have worked with several Japanese pop and rock stars and also have won two Japan Record Awards for their musical arrangements for singer Ayumi Hamasaki (with "Free & Easy" in 2002 and "No way to say" in 2003).

They habitually write their name as HΛL, replacing the Latin "A" with the Greek "Λ" or Lambda.

Hal went from music arrangers into a music band and then back to music arrangers, arranging songs for many Japanese artists. Toshiharu Umezaki (sometimes written as Toshiyasu Umezaki) is known as the main member and leader of the band, which had gone through some deformations in their structure.
