supercell Restarts with "Yoru to Ao" for Mahoutsukai no Yoru Film
The restart came out of the film offer rather than a planned comeback: ryo wrote that without an opportunity like this, supercell probably would have stayed asleep.

ryo announced on September 30 that supercell is restarting. The new song, "Yoru to Ao," has vocals by Yanaginagi and is the theme song for the theatrical anime "Mahoutsukai no Yoru." It is the first new supercell song Yanaginagi has sung in about 15 years, since "Today Is A Beautiful Day." Part of the song appears in the film's 90-second final trailer. The film opens November 20, with animation by ufotable.
The announcement came with a note from ryo, who wrote that he is happy supercell's songs can be delivered again, and that this song's production became the trigger for the restart. The group's earlier connection to the property runs through ryo's memory of Kinoko Nasu approaching him directly for the theme song of the PC game version of "Mahoutsukai no Yoru." He recalled that the members were surprised when he reported the request, and that TYPE-MOON was a "great senior" that had already walked the path of making and releasing its own works. "Yoru to Ao" was finished in late July, and ryo described adjusting details such as the singing voice, guitar volume, and how the hi-hat sounds.
