Information

The band formed in 1982 when Watanabe wanted to start a band with drummer Ryu and guitarist Sakiguchi as Coconut Boys. They performed at various events and lives later that year as they painted the image among the famous as the Japanese-made Beach Boys. They got their major debut a year later with the single Candy, the image song for a Yoplait Yogurts commercial.

Soon after the band released their second single more then a year later, they added Tagura and Yonekura to the band as they changed their name to C-C-B. Their big hit came in January 1986 when they released the single Romantic ga Tomaranai. Their summer single, Lucky Chance wo Mou Ichido, was also a hit as the song gave the band's first appearance on the end of the year special Kouhaku Uta Gassen. They also won the Gold Award at the 27th Annual Japan Record Awards and then Best Ballad Song Award at the 1986's FNS Kayousai.

But by 1987, Sakigura would leave the group, causing the slowly decline of the band's popularity. Two years later, C-C-B would disband after their final live at Nippon Budokan. But the band would get back together throughout the later years. For example, all five members would get back together for the final show of the television program The Best Ten five years later. Also, the group's biggest hit, Romantic ga Tomaranai, was used frequently in the dorama Densha Otoko, causing the group to became popular once again.

In 2008, the band would get back together with only Ryu, Sakegura, and Wanatabe as they played their first live shows at Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo since their breakup.
