Hit and popular songs by Supercell

Here we introduce songs by supercell, a creative collective centered around ryo, who handles music production, and made up of multiple illustrators and designers.

Their activities as supercell began when ryo, who had originally been posting songs using Hatsune Miku on Nico Nico Douga, connected with illustrators through those works.

Their songs have become the themes for various anime and video games and have drawn a lot of attention.

At first, ryo used the vocal synthesizer Hatsune Miku for vocals in his music production.

Because of that, he did not initially assume a human would sing the songs, and has said, “Precisely because a machine sings them, I can write lyrics that might otherwise feel embarrassing.” He is particular about using the first ideas that come to mind as they are, without unnecessary embellishment.
