The Official supercell Thread

[truehappiness]

Illustrators that work with ryo are: 119, huke, Shirow Miwa, and redjuice. Recently, their first album titled "supercell" sold more than 100,000 copies and reached the #2 spot on the Oricon charts!


Their first major single, "kimi no shiranai monogatari" will be for an upcoming anime called Bakemonogatari with a famous female singer from nico nico douga in Hatsune Miku's place. Also known as Gazelle/nagi, she was quite famous on the web before retiring in mid-2008 and disappearing from the public eye for a few months.

Very pleasant sounds, and I hope this group goes on to do big things!

[rookies]

Never heard of them before, but I'll give those songs a try!

[truehappiness]

You really should, haha.

Here's a copy of the album.

[rookies]

I just listened to the 3 songs you posted in the first post.

The main singer's voice sounds really Perfume-ish, like the electro pop kinda voice.

But their music genre is kinda like pop rock (is it?)

The songs are ok, but it might grow on me if I listen a bit more times.

I like their bandname by the way, it sounds really futuristic.

[truehappiness]

The main singer is not a real person. It's a fake vocalist basically.

But the arrangements and background music are all 'real'. However, supercell is doing projects with a real singer named Gazelle who is AMAZING.

[rookies]

Oh, I thought the main singer was a real person, oops. xD

Do they have any upcoming releases?

Their first major single, "kimi wo shiranai monogatari" will be for an upcoming anime called Bakemonogatari with a famous female singer from nico nico douga in Hatsune Miku's place.

Ahh, the cover fits the lyrics...

So pretty!

[Ranma Matsuri]

Hmmm, well it's not a Hatsune Miku thread but close enough I guess. XD Yay for this group! Been toying with the idea of purchasing the new single, not sure yet though.

[Cherry Dynamite]

I love supercell lol but only their works with an actual human voice.

[truehappiness]

Oh, they released a new track called Hero. It isn't that great though.

DECO*27 is where it's at nowadays, haha.
