Life and development of practise:
Supercell is and 11 person Japanese Dōjin music group led by composer and lyricist Ryo. 'Dōjin' is used for non-official self-published Japanese works which are sometimes based on official anime's/manga's/game's. They are usually sold online or at anime conventions. Supercell was born on Nico Nico Douga, which is like Japanese version of youtube but most of the video's are based around anime manga and games. It was formed after Ryo uploaded his song 'Melt' to NicoNico in 2007 using an image by an illustrator named 119 without his permission, when he went to apologise 119 he showed interest in 'Melt' and Supercell was formed. By the time the group had its major début it has 11 members. Out of 11 people 10 of them are illustrators, animators, designers, and photographers for music video's and album covers, that's what makes this band so unique, it's not just focused on the music, it's a whole production with video, illustration and each song has a story, more than 70% of the songs produced from England and America.
From 2007 to 2008 Supercell used the voice synthesizer program called voacloid so sing their songs. They used the voice of 'Hatsune Miku' which is the name of the mascot for the voice bank taken from the Japanese voice actor and part time singer Saki Fujita. In 2009 they had their major début with an actual singer called Nagi and at the moment they're holding auditions for a singer for their 3rd album. Supercell has gained a massive response from Japan and have been in the charts, they have also had a big response from 'Otaku's' (Big Anime/Manga/Game fans) who know Supercell from the songs sung with Miku.
