Retired/deceased Members
- 119/Hikeshi (retired)
119 was the second member of Supercell, the first being Ryo. Originally,
119 was the illustrator of the Hatsune Miku design that Ryo used in the
PV for the song "Melt".
As he used it without 119's permission, Ryo apologized. 119 though
found great interest in the "Melt" PV Ryo had made and began working
with him, thus forming Supercell. In the current, 119 retired from
Supercell, but is assumed to be still active.

- More About -
Supercell (stylized as 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 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.
Supercell and Today Is A Beautiful Day were awarded a Gold Disc by the Recording Industry Association of Japan
for having exceeded 100,000 copies shipped in a single year, and
Supercell was chosen as one of the best five new Japanese artists of
2009 during the 2010 Japan Gold Disc Award competition.
