Supercell is a Japanese 11-member J-pop music group led by songwriter Ryo, which formed in 2007 as a dōjin music group. The other 10 members are artists and designers who provide illustrations in album booklets and music videos. Supercell started out by making use of the Hatsune Miku Vocaloid singing synthesizer to produce vocals for songs submitted to the Nico Nico Douga video sharing website. The popularity of the songs led the group to release their independent self-titled album Supercell (2008). Supercell later signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan and had a professional release of their Supercell album in March 2009, which was updated with more songs.

Supercell made a transition to vocalist Nagi Yanagi with their debut single "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (2009). Two more singles featuring Yanagi were released in 2010, followed by Supercell's second album Today Is A Beautiful Day (2011), which was Yanagi's last contribution with Supercell. Following Yanagi's departure, Supercell held auditions for vocalists, and two girls were chosen out of about 2,000 candidates: 15-year-old Koeda and 17-year-old Chelly. Both vocalists sing theme music for the 2011 anime Guilty Crown, and released their first singles with Supercell in 2011.

Supercell and Today Is A Beautiful Day were awarded a Gold Disc by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for having exceeded 100,000 copies shipped in a single year, and Supercell was chosen as one of the best five new Japanese artists of 2009 during the 2010 Japan Gold Disc Award competition.

History

2007–2008: Formation and indie releases

On December 7, 2007, Ryo submitted the song "Melt" (メルト, Meruto) to the Nico Nico Douga video sharing website using the Vocaloid singing synthesizer software, Hatsune Miku, for the vocals; since then, the video has been viewed over 5 million times.[1] Ryo used an illustration of Miku without permission by an illustrator named 119 (pronounced Hikeshi). After Ryo contacted 119 with an apology, 119 responded with great interest in "Melt" and began to work together with Ryo, thus forming Supercell.[2][3] More members joined Supercell since its forming leading to 11 members by the time the group made its major debut.[2] In an article in The Japan Times, Ryo admitted that he did not have any "big intentions" in uploading "Melt" to Nico Nico Douga and was not someone who "set out to find success" as he put it.[1]

Ryo chose to distribute his music on Nico Nico Douga since he liked the website along with its response system. Ryo did not originally intend to use Hatsune Miku as the vocalist for his songs, and most members of Supercell did not even know of Miku until after "Melt" gained popularity.[2] Since Ryo did not know any singers, he was recommended by his friends to use Miku, which he thought was a good idea since videos using Miku were already widely being distributed on Nico Nico Douga at the time.[2]

In 2008, Supercell continued to release songs which quickly became popular. Supercell's releases of "Koi wa Sensō" (恋は戦争) on February 22, "World is Mine" (ワールドイズマイン, Wārudo izu Main) on May 31, and "Black Rock Shooter" (ブラック★ロックシューター, Burakku Rokku Shūtā) on June 13 all received over 1 million views.[4] Ryo composed the song "Kibō no Neiro" (キボウノネイロ), released as a limited edition image song CD with the fifth volume of Shū Shirase's light novel series Oto × Maho on July 15, 2008; the CD was only sold at Animate and Comic Toranoana.[5] The CD sold at Animate had the song sung by Hatsune Miku, but the Toranoana version had it sung by the human singer Sari.[5]

At Comiket 74 in August 2008, Supercell released the independent self-titled album Supercell containing their most popular songs in addition to several previously unreleased songs.[6] On December 12, 2008, Supercell released "Hajimete no Koi ga Owaru Toki" (初めての恋が終わる時) on Nico Nico Douga which has received over 1 million views;[7] this was the last song Supercell posted on Nico Nico Douga.

2009–2011: Major debut and vocalist Nagi Yanagi

Supercell made their major debut with Sony Music Entertainment Japan with the professional release of their Supercell album on March 4, 2009.[8] The updated release included the art book originally bundled with the indie version, contained more songs than the original, and included a DVD with music videos for four songs.[4] The album obtained a No. 4 ranking on Oricon's weekly albums chart,[8] and in June 2009 was awarded the Gold Disc by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for having exceeded 100,000 copies shipped in a single year.[9] Supercell released their first major single "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (君の知らない物語) on August 12, 2009, which ranked No. 5 on Oricon's weekly singles chart.[10] The song "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" was used as the ending theme song for the 2009 Bakemonogatari anime series,[11] and the single also included two tracks featured in the 2009 animated film Cencoroll.[11] The single marked the first time Supercell did not use Hatsune Miku as the vocalist, but instead having the singer Nagi Yanagi provide the vocals, herself a vocalist known for her uploads to Nico Nico Douga under the name Gazelle.[11] Supercell was chosen as one of the best five new Japanese artists of 2009 during the 2010 Japan Gold Disc Award competition.[12]

A second single, "Sayonara Memories" (さよならメモリーズ), was released on February 10, 2010.[13] Supercell's third single, "Utakata Hanabi / Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" (うたかた花火 / 星が瞬くこんな夜に), is a double A-side and was released on August 25, 2010.[14] "Utakata Hanabi" was used as the 14th ending theme for the Naruto: Shippuden anime series and "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" was used as the ending theme for Type-Moon's visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru.[15] Supercell released a split single in collaboration with Kz of Livetune called "Kotchi Muite Baby / Yellow" (こっち向いて Baby / Yellow) on July 14, 2010 by Sony Music Direct, which is the theme song of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd.[16] The single features Hatsune Miku as the vocalist, and Ryo composed "Kotchi Muite Baby", while Livetune composed "Yellow".[16] Supercell produced the song "Hero" (ヒーロー) as a theme song to Shueisha's manga magazine Aoharu, a special edition version of Young Jump, which had its first issue on November 30, 2010.[17] The full version of the song was released by Sony Music on their website on November 30, 2010 for trial listening.

A 50-minute original video animation project entitled Black Rock Shooter was released on July 24, 2010 based on the song "Black Rock Shooter" and its original music video featuring illustrations by Huke. A "Pilot Edition" of the anime was released on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on September 30, 2009.[18] Ryo and Huke collaborated on the project with supervisor Yutaka Yamamoto and his animation studio Ordet; Shinobu Yoshioka directed the project.[19] Black Rock Shooter is Ordet's first solo production as the main animation studio. Some footage of the anime was shown at Anime Expo on July 4, 2010.[20]

In late 2010, Shibuya, Tokyo-based company INCS toenter established the major record label TamStar Records for musicians and artists who originally made their debut as dōjin music artists online. Supercell joined the label as one of the inaugural members, including others such as Livetune, Gom, Rapbit, and Nagi Yanagi.[21] Supercell collaborated on a compilation album titled TamStar Records Collection Vol. 0 released as a limited edition at Comiket 79 in December 2010;[21] on the album is Supercell's "Kibō no Neiro" sung by Hatsune Miku and "Ashita e" (アシタヘ) sung by Rapbit and Clear.[22] TamStar Records released a remix album of Supercell's debut album Supercell as a tribute to the band titled Stowaways on January 17, 2011.[23] Supercell released their second studio album Today Is A Beautiful Day on March 16, 2011.[24]

2011–present: Vocalists Koeda and Chelly

Supercell held auditions from May 25 to June 19, 2011 for a guest vocalist on the band's third album. The main criteria for the vocalist was his or her voice, as Supercell was not concerned with the singer's gender or age.[25] Out of about 2,000 candidates, two girls were chosen: a 15-year-old named Koeda and a 17-year-old named Chelly.[26][27] Supercell collaborated with the dōjin musician Dixie Flatline to produce the split single "Sekiranun Graffiti (積乱雲グラフィティ) / Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'" released on August 31, 2011 by Sony Music Direct.[28] The single features Hatsune Miku as the vocalist, and Ryo composed "Sekiranun Graffiti", while Dixie Flatline composed "Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'".[29] "Sekiranun Graffiti" is used as the opening theme to Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Extend.[30]

The theme songs for the 2011 anime series Guilty Crown were produced by Supercell.[31] The anime's first opening theme is "My Dearest" and is performed by Koeda. The single for "My Dearest" was released on November 23, 2011 as Supercell's fourth single.[32] The anime's first ending theme is "Departures (Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta)" (Departures ~あなたにおくるアイの歌~) and is sung by Chelly, who also sings insert songs featured in Guilty Crown.[27] The single for "Departures (Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta)" was released on November 30, 2011 as the first single under the band name Egoist,[33] after the fictional band in Guilty Crown. The anime's second opening theme is "The Everlasting Guilty Crown" by Chelly, and the second ending theme is "Kokuhaku" (告白) by Koeda. The single for "The Everlasting Guilty Crown" was released on March 7, 2012 as the second single under the name Egoist.[34] Included on the singles "Departures (Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta)" and "The Everlasting Guilty Crown" are remixes of the title songs by Boom Boom Satellites.[33][34] "Kokuhaku" was released on March 7, 2012 on the double A-side "Kokuhaku / Bokura no Ashiato" (告白 / 僕らのあしあと) as Supercell's fifth single.[35] "Bokura no Ashiato" is used as the ending theme to the 2012 anime series Black Rock Shooter.[36] Ryo wrote the song "Light My Fire" sung by Kotoko,[37] which is used as the first opening theme to the 2011 anime series Shakugan no Shana Final.[38] Ryo also wrote the song "Naisho no Hanashi" sung by ClariS, which is used as the ending theme to the 2012 anime series Nisemonogatari.[39]

Musical style and influences

Daniel Robson of The Japan Times described Supercell's music as "sentimental J-pop...[that] also explores the genre's jazzier, spunkier and dancier elements."[1] Their sound has been compared pop singers Aiko and Yui,[1] and Ryo has stated himself that he likes expressing human emotions in his music.[40] When creating a song, Ryo has often hummed a tune into a digital recorder, or starts by playing the piano.[41] While it depends on the song, Ryo has stated he generally "play[s] the piano and take notes of the chord progression" and then writes the lyrics.[42] Ryo has cited "artists that blend rock and hip-hop styles with today's latest technology" as influencing his music, including: Massive Attack, Boom Boom Satellites, Portishead, Tricky, and Unkle.[41]

Ryo found it difficult at first with writing "tenderhearted" lyrics for songs meant to be sung by young women.[1] When describing the lyrics for his songs using Hatsune Miku as the vocalist, Ryo felt that writing without hesitation based on his initial ideas with minimal editing was best, because the singer, as a computer program, would not feel embarrassed about singing the lyrics.[2] He admitted that his friends would laugh when he played the songs, but he thought that "if a 16-year-old girl is supposed to be singing...it is best if she sings about romance."[1] When writing lyrics for human singers, Ryo takes more care in writing lyrics that singers would not be embarrassed to sing.[2] When Ryo receives an offer to compose theme music, he writes lyrics that tie in with the theme and mood of the given work, such as the ending themes "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" for the anime Bakemonogatari, and "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" for the visual novel Mahōtsukai no Yoru.[43][44]
