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.

I SAY I LOVE YOU
C-C-B Lyrics

들리지 않아도 나에게 하고픈
네 얘길 다 알아
늘 내가 걱정돼 한숨만 내쉬며
행복을 바라겠지

차라리 너를 하얗게 잊어내며
좋은 사람 만나라고 하고 싶겠지
널 위해서라면 전부터 넌 세상에
없었던 사람이 되길 빌잖아

어떻게 아냐고 그렇게 내가 비니까
멀리 있지만 아마도 우린 같을 테니까
허락된 인연은 다하고 말았지만
아직도 너와 난 하나라고 느껴질 만큼
사랑하니까

보이지 않아도 지금 넌 어떻게
지낼지 다 알아
왜 사는지조차 그 이유 모른 채
또 하루를 보냈겠지

누굴 만나도 그 어디에 있어도
마음은 늘 같은 곳을 향해 있겠지
애써 참지만 서글픈 노래라도
들리면 넌 그만 울고 말 거야

어떻게 아냐고 그렇게 내가 사니까
멀리 있지만 아마도 우린 같을 테니까
닿을 수 없는 곳에 슬픔이어도
이렇게 헤어져도 우린 사랑하니까

슬퍼하지 마 함께할 내가 없음을
난 네가 되고 넌 내가 되어 살면 되잖아

마음으로 이미 서로를 가진 거야
저 하늘마저도 그것만은 어쩔 수 없게
사랑하니까
