It has been 25 years since Yasutaka Nakata and Toshiko Nakada formed CAPSULE in 1997 in their hometown of Kanazawa.

During that time, CAPSULE has gradually changed its musical style, proposing the latest sounds for each era, and has become a unit that is supported not only in Japan but also abroad. At the same time, Nakata has become an important figure not only in the club scene, but also in J-POP as a whole, as a sound producer, making hits with various artists' songs.

In December 2022, CAPSULE released its first original album in seven years, "Metropulse," with a synthwave approach reminiscent of the electronic music of the 1980s and 1990s, providing CAPSULE's own answer to the city pop boom that is gaining momentum around the world. It is a return to the roots, and at the same time, an album that has evolved even further.

To commemorate CAPSULE's 25th anniversary, we conducted a survey among 18 groups of celebrities closely associated with the band, asking them to choose their favorite song from the many that CAPSULE has released so far, and to share their personal stories about the song.

CAPSULE 16th album "Metropulse” will be released as LP on May 24, 2023.

16th Album #MetroPulse Album share campaign starts today! (Likely JP only). A special acrylic stand will be given to 50 people by lottery from those who post on Twitter using the song sharing function of the target music distribution.
