History

Around 1999, CECIL started when a producer who worked for Sony Music showed Taichi Ohira a poem by Batayam that she sent to the audition. The catch phrase for the audition was "music that won't fade even after 10 years". He wanted to make proper songs out of the lyrics, so he met with them and suggested putting their lyrics to music.

"But both me and the lyricist were lousy at singing, so we auditioned for a vocalist. In the end, my friend, who is a producer of CECIL, invited the illustrator Kunie Kanbara from FM802 and we made a unit called CECIL which could create its own music and cover art. My position in the group was composer/arranger and label owner." - Quote by Taichi Ohira

CECIL has disbanded, either due to closure of Berry Records in 2006, or they were not commercially successful enough to continue.
