Members:
* Watanabe Hideki (渡辺英樹; Bass, Precussion, Leader)
* Ryu Kouji (笠浩二; Drums)
* Sekiguchi Makoto (関口誠人; Guitar, Saxaphone)
* Taguchi Tomoharu (田口智治; Keyboard)
* Yonekawa Hideyuki (米川英之; Lead Guitar)
The band formed in 1982 when Watanabe wanted to start a band with Ryu and Sekiguchi as Coconut Boys. They performed at various events and live concerts later that year as they painted a image 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 as they added Taguchi and Yonekawa to the band and 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 the Best Ballad Song Award at the 1986's FNS Kayousai.
But, Sekiguchi left the group on 1987, causing the slow decline of the band's popularity. Two years later, C-C-B disbanded after their final live at Nippon Budokan. But, the band got back together later on. For example, all five members got back together for the final episode 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 got back together with only Ryu, Sekiguchi, and Watanabe as they played their first live shows at cities like Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo since their breakup.

The lyrics to C-C-B's song "原色したいね" (Genshoku Shitai ne) or "Paint It Purple" revolve around wanting to infuse more color and passion into a relationship. The chorus, which repeats twice, asserts this desire to "paint" with more "original color" (genshoku) with their partner to create a more vibrant and alluring relationship. They want to add more purple, blue, green, yellow, silver, and gold, to represent the richness and variety of emotion they yearn for.
The song describes a scene where the singer is in an all-white room, and the mood becomes serious as they wear black and engage in a tense conversation. They are both shy and reserved, wondering who will be the first one to confess their love. To add more color and life to their relationship, they need to let their guard down and be more expressive.
The second verse describes how one of them is nervous and timid, making it challenging to get closer. But they realize that just holding each other can release tension and make them feel more connected. The chorus then brings us back to the refrain of "painting" the relationship with vibrant colors and ending with the repetition of "in the dream of natural colors."

すごい！すごい！
行きたかった、観たかった。
笠君のパートの所で米川さんが笑顔になって、英樹が笑顔になって、そして笠君が笑顔で答えるように歌う。
あの頃があって 今がある。苦しんだ時代も無駄ではなかった、と。
当時から全てを包み込む笑顔の笠君が大好きでした。
甘い甘いハニーボイスの笠君が大好きでした。
今はひたすら涙する毎日ですが、いつか私も笑顔でこの笠君の笑顔や英樹の笑顔を観れるようになれたらいいな。
笠君、今はまだ涙で見ていてごめんなさい。
@user-cr1jc3ij7f
最近、ファンになった50のおっさんです。小学生の頃、毎度、おさがわせします（中山美穂、主演ドラマ）の影響でチャラく見えましたが、笠さんね死去後、you tube で改めて観てファンになりました。
にしても、このときの実質的再結成を見ると、メンバー4人とも、いい顔してますね。英樹さん、笠さんはもういませんが、米川さんがいます。田口さんはもう禊は済んだと思います。2人とも生きているだけでいいです。
関口さんもソロで頑張っています。
@koya402
４人がとても楽しそうで
何度でもみてられますね
いつも心にC-C-B
@mcqueenlightning1991

この数カ月後に英樹さんが、先月には、浩二さんがこの世を去ってもうこの二人の歌声が生で聴けないって寂しい…映像では観れるけど、一度だけ生の歌声が聴きたかったなぁ～
@user-sn4em6mq5q
