Ryo and supercell's debut was the [[Vocaloid]] smash hit "Melt", a simple love song about a shy girl walking together with the boy she has a crush on. It was first released over [[Nico Nico Douga]] in 2007, and has since become considered one of the songs which has established Miku's commonly perceived personality. It was followed up by several more releases, and as supercell gained more attention, they signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment. Since their self-titled Vocaloid album, most of their releases have been performed by Nagi, and she is set to be the vocalist for their second album.
 
supercell and Nagi have provided theme music for several extremely popular anime and games since their debut, among them ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'', ''[[Cencoroll]]'', and upcoming [[Nasuverse]] visual novel ''Mahoutsukai No Yoru''. Their Vocaloid song "Kocchi Muite Baby" was used as the opening for the second ''Project Diva'' Vocaloid rhythm game. Ryo also composed "Braveheart", the theme of the ''[[Black Rock Shooter]]'' OVA, although it is performed by a different band.
 
== supercell's current releases: ==
Line 11:
* "Koi wa Sensou", or ''Eager Love'' (February 2008), which addresses the need to never give up on love. The kanji title means "love is war", but "Eager Love" is the official English title.
* "World Is Mine" (May 2008), a song from the perspective of an extremely selfish and spoiled girl trying to appeal to a boy she likes by considering him her prince and demanding that she be treated as a princess in return. The singer is infamously considered to be a [[Tsundere]].
* "[[Black Rock Shooter (Musicband)|Black Rock Shooter]]" (June 2008), which Ryo wrote after being inspired by fellow member huke's illustrations of the eponymous lead character of his original story. Its popularity exploded, to say the least.
* "Hajimete no Koi ga Owaru Toki (When My First Love Ends)" (December 2008), a melancholy song that is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. The band's last song uploaded to [[Nico Nico Douga]].
=== Singles ===
* "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (August 2009). The first collaboration between supercell and Nagi, after which it was decided that Nagi would provide vocals for their second album. The title track is the ending theme for ''[[Bakemonogatari (Light Novel)|Bakemonogatari]]'', in which the singer reminisces over and regrets not pursuing an old love. The b-side, "LOVE&ROLL", is used in ''[[Cencoroll]]'', and depicts an adventurous girl and her shy boyfriend embarking on [[Their First Time]].
* "Sayonara Memories" (February 2010). The second single featuring Nagi. The title track shares themes with "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari".
* "Utakata Hanabi / Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" (2010). A double a-side single. "Utakata Hanabi" was used as one of the ending themes for ''[[Naruto]]: Shippuden'', "Hoshi ga Matataku Konna Yoru ni" will be used as the main theme of ''Mahoutsukai No Yoru''.
Line 36:
** [[Fingore]]
* [[Follow Your Heart]]: Usually explored through songs where the singer is regretting not having done so.
* [[Intercourse Withwith You]]: LOVE&ROLL.
* [[Revenge]]: "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Fukushuu]]".
* [[Self-Backing Vocalist]]
* [[Silly Love Song]]: Ryo has mentioned that even he's embarrassed about some of the lyrics of the songs he writes, but says that if a teenage girl is supposed to be singing the songs, it only makes sense that they would be about romance.
