supercell is doing the OP song for Bakemonogatari
supercell has announced that their first major single kimi no shiranai monogatari will be the opening song for the upcoming summer anime Bakemonogatari. The song will be composed by ryo (obviously), and surprisingly for the vocals they managed to get the famous Niconico douga singer Gazelle.
The single will apparently also contain the theme of CENCOROLL, which is an instrumental track that was used in the promotional video for CENCOROLL.
supercell is a unit formed by nico nico douga creators, largely centering around the composer ryo, who made popular Hatsune Miku songs such as Melt, World is mine, and Black rock shooter.
The vocalist Gazelle used to be really popular on nico douga in 2007 and early 2008 before she retired and removed all her videos, and now she is reappearing with supercell under the artist name of “nagi”.

Funny they credit her as nagi and not やなぎなぎ/CorLeonis, though I suppose anyone who hears the song will recognize her right away. Nobody hits those high notes quite the way she does.

The new Cencoroll trailer with ryo’s music isn’t nearly as awesome as the old one, with music by someone called 83key:

Agreeing with anon there, ryo gets too much attention. There are better Nico artists out there deserving of much more attention than him.

So anon agrees that the old theme sounded better?
I don’t mind ryo, though, to be honest, he only looks like he gets too much attention because you guys only browse the web. At least someone from this side is getting through well enough to have singles like that, that I’m glad about.

Glad to know Gazelle’s back.
