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.
