TWO guest vocalists for supercell have been announced today. They will be singing songs for the upcoming anime, "Guilty Crown," after winning supercell's guest vocal auditions that took place earlier this year.

The first winner, Koeda (こゑだ), will be singing the opening theme (entitled "My Dearest"). She is 15 years old and hails from Fukuoka Prefecture. Koeda is a member of the Nico Nico Douga community and you can view her past uploads at the following link: http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/21865519

The second winner, chelly, will be singing the ending theme (entitled "Departures ~Anata ni Okuru Ai no Uta~"). In this case, the song is credited under the name EGOIST, a fictional band that appears in the anime. Its lead vocalist is a character named Yuzuriha Inori, and chelly will provide vocals for the band's songs as that character. chelly is 17 years old and lives in Chiba Prefecture. It is uncertain if she is an already known singer.


As stated in supercell's mail magazine, the introduction of these new vocalists signifies the start of the "third phase of supercell" (with Hatsune Miku being the first phase, and nagi being the second). It is very unlikely that nagi will return due to this statement (in addition to the fact that nagi was never a permanent member and was always credited as a guest). In the future, this will probably apply to Koeda and chelly as well, so expect to have an always changing cast of vocalists for supercell.
