iLL is an experimental Japanese rock band formed in 2006 by Koji Nakamura. Nakamura, sometimes known by his nickname Nakako, was one of the founding members of the popular Japanese band Supercar and remained with that band until they broke up in 2005. After the breakup of Supercar, Nakamura got involved with two project, both iLL and Nyantora.
