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.

Imagine
C-C-B Lyrics

Imagine it happens to me
Famous and rich in a week
Dropping some songs and I'll see
If I'm gunna live all my dreams
Not wearing just living supreme
Not even close to my peak
I know my destiny
Keeping it flowing is key
So easy
Competency

Momma see me on the tv
Solo pop a wheelie
Now these girls they wanna eat me
And their guys they wanna be me
Water foreign sipping Fiji
Do not call I'm in a meeting
I made it in entertainment
Fuck the goods I need the greatness
Everything I do is amazing
Spice my life up
Add in cajon
Tell 'em all about my life
Tell 'em all about my dreams
Exactly who I aim to be
Tell 'em what they'd expect to see
Never prayed at night cuz I was working hard
I'm exactly where I gotta be
And that I swear to god
Be the goodness that you want to see
All up in the world
If you know someone who is paying
Then send em my referral
Gotta stay driven and
Take care of your woman
Life is about living in
Never about missing
I need a bath fit for swimming
No problem I'll stay with it
I am completing my mission
And fixing the issues
I never prayed at night cuz I working hard
I'm exactly where I gotta be
And that I swear to god
Be the goodness that you want to see
All up in the world
If you know someone who is paying
Then send em my referral
I stay living and learning
You want some money then earn it
I made the key gunna turn it
I'm staying hot by the furnace
And I'm completing my purpose
My life that I live is perfect
You stay moaning you Myrtle
You're the hare I'm the turtle
May be slow but I'm steady
Ready to jump a hurdle
In life there's so many
Some they're not subtle
And I've been popping out my bubble
Tryna get myself some money
After that I'll make it double
Then I will be stunting
Gone from yesterday's rubbermaids
To counting money in rubber bands
Everyday I love the way
I'm living after a hundred grand
And all from entertaining
They call me awesome and amazing
Lost my mind up in the matrix
Return home I think I'm famous
Now imagine it happens to you
All of your dreams coming true
Could it be happening soon
Have you been making those moves
What are you expecting to happen
Well let me just tell you the answer
Another one's gunna surpass you
Keep practicing until you're the master
Gotta stay driven
And take care of your woman
Life's about living in
Never about missing
I need a bath fit for swimming
No problem I'll stay with it
I am completing my mission
And fixing the issues
I never prayed at night cuz I was working hard
I'm exactly where I gotta be
And that I swear to god
Be the goodness that you want to see
All up in the world
If you know someone who is paying
Then send 'em my referral
