huke/supercell's "first" video game involvement

huke did the character designs for Steins;Gate which was released last year, what is the difference between his involvement there and his involvement in Fate/Extra that makes F/E the group's "first" video game involvement (I don't know how one is quantifying "involvement" here)? --Remy Suen (talk) 01:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

So that's why the cover art of S;G seemed so familiar. In any case, I think I'm just going to remove the F/E note anyway, since it's not Supercell's involvement, but Huke as an individual artist, the same with S;G.--十八 02:21, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

who's nagi? is she a vocalist for this band? why isnt she is listed or she is another alias of somebody?

I was hoping some detail, lol, i cant find any notable detail, hopefull those that understand japanese could verify this. 124.82.211.242 (talk) 17:24, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Nagi is a vocalist for Supercell's song, but is not officially a member of the group.--十八 05:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I read in an interview that she's an official member of the band.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.86.255.143 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Not according to the band's official member list.--十八 22:23, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

2011-present section in the article.

It states that auditions is being held to replace Nagi. But that's never stated in the source. In fact, these auditions is being held for guest appearance according to the source. 84.215.64.68 (talk) 11:50, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

The source calls says the 'guest' "will follow in the figurative footsteps" of Miku and Nagi, and the article states the band is looking for a singer for their third album. But you're right, I'll rewrite it.--十八 20:44, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

'Sekiranun Graffiti' review

"Sekiranun Graffiti" is the second supercell / Hatsune Miku release to hit American shores, a sign that the debut single from last May was more than just a promotional gimmick to get fans to come to the Miku show at Anime Expo 2011. However, listeners expecting more of the metallic vocals that came out of "World Is Mine" or "Black Rock Shooter" may be surprised to hear a warmer, closer-to-human Miku on "Sekiranun Graffiti"—the difference between a couple of 2008 songs and a release so recent that it came out in Japan on the same day.
...The result on the title track is by no means perfect—the vocals still hit certain notes with a metallic clunk, and post-production effects sometimes hide rough edges—but the distracting roboticness has been minimized to a point where one can concentrate on the overall arrangement. And the arrangement is a solid one: this is textbook supercell, with rock drums at weekend-roadtrip tempo, chunky electric guitars, and strings at full blast by mid-song. (For a genre associated with all things electronic, how funny that its most famous producer still thinks acoustically, modeling the arrangement after a standard rock band.) The verses are a bit monotone—Ryo's long melodic lines tend to drift on the same couple of chords—but the chorus has enough uplift, and a catchy enough hook, to be a blast of pure joy.
...Songwriter and lyricist switch places for the B-side "Fallin' Fallin' Fallin'," and Dixie Flatline wastes no time in putting his trademark style out there. Glittering synth arpeggios give way to a head-bobbing house beat that should be familiar to anyone who's heard the ridiculously infectious "Just Be Friends," arguably Dixie Flatline's most well-known work. Unlike Ryo's melody- and harmony-driven songwriting, this track is built more around a steady groove, the kind you could take to a club (shame that it only lasts about three and a half minutes). As a side effect, however, the other aspects of song craftsmanship go ignored: the repeating synths and percussion stop being interesting halfway, and some string fills in the chorus do little to spice up an arrangement that sounds pretty homogeneous throughout. Even Miku's voice sounds less refined than on the title track, as if the producer purposely wanted to leave that harsh electronic edge in there. Hey, when the beat is just that good, why mess with anything else?
...The CD's crisp, brightly colored cover art by Atsuya Uki seems to agree: we see a smiling Miku riding across the clouds for the title track, while on the reverse, a more subdued version of her looks on wistfully as autumn leaves swirl about.

...For American fans who thought that the Hatsune Miku repertoire began and ended with what they saw at Anime Expo, "Sekiranun Graffiti" brings them up-to-date with the latest and greatest, as seen through the musical vision of producer Ryo. While one CD single cannot hope to represent the breadth of the Vocaloid meta-genre these days, it does bring a couple of other producers and their respective styles into the fold, and shows the versatility of the virtual idol's voice with contrasting A- and B-sides.

The ensign of this artists group

"Supercell" should officially be written like this ?

If you mean why it's capitalized, that's per WP:MOS-TM.--十八 05:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:39, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I didn't see anything major on a first read, will look more closely tomorrow. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:37, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Here are my concerns:

• "Nico Nico Douga since he liked the website along with its response system." would you be able to clarify what you mean by response system?
  • I added "which enables user's comments to appear overlaid on the video screen" at the end.--十八 05:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
• "The single features Hatsune Miku as the vocalist, and Ryo composed "Kotchi Muite Baby", while Livetune composed "Yellow"." Could this be reworded a bit? The sentence seems to be combining passive and active voice, and doesn't sound completely right to me.
  • I rewrote it to "Ryo composed "Kotchi Muite Baby" and Livetune composed "Yellow"; both songs are sung by Hatsune Miku."--十八 05:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
• "The full version of the song was released by Sony Music on their website on November 30, 2010 for trial listening." cite preferred, but beyond that, what does trial listening men in this case, i.e. is just a clip of it on, or what it up for a limited time?
  • Sentence removed for lack of cite.--十八 05:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
• "Ryo found it difficult at first with writing "tenderhearted" lyric" at first to write sounds a bit better.
  • Done.--十八 05:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

All in all, the prose gets a bit on the dry side at times (much of it is just something being released on date with x proving vocals or y providing music), but it's good enough to be a GA. I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:53, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

• I do admit that the prose needs a good copyedit and it does get repetitive, though I believe that's part and parcel to articles on music bands, at least somewhat in regards to release dates. And of course, thanks for the review after a long 4 month wait.--十八 05:05, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

  Looks good. If you can find someone to give a copyedit, I would prefer that's done before I pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 14:41, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

  It does read better now after the last edit, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 14:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
