Biography

capsule formed in November of 1997 after Nakata Yasutaka and Koshijima Toshiko met at the TEENS'MUSIC FESTIVAL Hokuriku area convention when they were both 17 years old. The festival is sponsored by YAMAHA MUSIC FOUNDATION. Their first single was "Sakura", released in March of 2001 on YAMAHA MUSIC COMMUNICATIONS. Their first album, "High Collar Girl", is significantly different from any of their later works in that it doesn't involve near as much synth or contain a futuristic or electronic sound.

In 2003, Nakata created his own YAMAHA sub-label contemode and has produced other artists on the label, including COLTEMONIKHA, COPTER4016882, and NAGISA COSMETIC. He also has produced all girl electopop trio Perfume since 2003. In 2004 he worked with Momose Yoshiyuki of Studio Kajino (a subsidiary of Studio Ghibli) to create the short animated film Portable Kuukou. It became a trilogy of "short short films" including three of capsule's songs: "Portable Kuukou", "space station No.9" and "Sora Tobu Toshi Keikaku" (in that order). The first one was shown in theaters before the live-action movie Cutie Honey.

The group went on a temporary hiatus in the summer of 2007 as Koshijima had left Tokyo, and Nakata took a break to "recharge his inspiration for better songs in the future". In September, the duo began been performing at clubs again and their first remix album "capsule rmx" was released the following month.
