The Face of Ryo

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 in 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). Unfortuntely, no one knows Nagi Yanagi's face looks like, because Ryo hidden it from the public. Two more singles featuring Yanagi were released in 2010, followed by Supercell's second album Today Is A Beautiful Day in 2011, which was Yanagi's last contribution with Supercell.

Egoist - Fictional Band

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 the theme songs for the 2011 anime Guilty Crown, and released their first singles with Supercell in 2011. Chelly sings under the alternate name Egoist, a fictional band in anime for Guilty Crown and Psycho-Pass ending song. But still unfortunately, Ryo hide their face from public.

Supercell live concert never used Nagi Yanagi, Koeda, and Chelly song that their sang. Supercell live concert only held in Japan, and always use Vocaloid characters and songs. Vocaloid characters that Ryo used in live concert is Hatsune Miku as primary singer, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, and Megurine Luka.

All of this Vocaloid singer is fictional, so in their live concert, they used projector to make them alive.
