capsule (カプセル) is a Japanese electronic music duo, consisting of vocalist Toshiko Koshijima and producer Yasutaka Nakata. Capsule are frequently referred to as "neo-Shibuya-kei" due to their stylistic similarities, both aesthetically and musically, to acts from the Shibuya-kei movement of the '90's, most notably Pizzicato Five. Their music contains elements of bossa nova, lounge, breakbeat, and most recently electro. Capsule is known for frequently licensing their music for use on television programs in Japan, such as Utawara Hot Hit 10, Hello! Morning, and Nankai Paradise. [1] Their song Portable Airport (remix) also features in promos for The Comedy Channel on Australian pay TV. The album More! More! More! reached place 6 in its first week on the Oricon weekly album chart, and place 3 on the daily chart, marking capsule's first time in the top 10.
