There are at least two groups using this name:
1) ｃａｐｓｕｌｅ (Japan), an electronic duo on their own label, Contemode.
2) Capsule (Miami, Florida), a hardcore/screamo band currently signed to Robotic Empire.

1) capsule is an electronic duo, formed in Kanazawa, Japan in 1997 by Yasutaka Nakata (co-producer, art director) and Toshiko Koshijima (vocals). They are part of the shibuya-kei movement that started in 1990, most notably by Pizzicato Five. In March of 2001, they made their first single with Yamaha Music, ‘Sakura’. Their music contains elements of bossa nova, ye-ye, nu jazz, lounge, breakbeat, and most recently, electro house. In 2003, Yasutaka created his own label, contemode, and has produced other artists on the label, such as Perfume, COLTEMONIKHA, NAGISA COSMETIC and Meg. Nakata has described the music produced by Contemode acts as “an accessory to fashion”, and the band’s music can often be found for sale in fashion boutiques in Shibuya, Japan.

2) Capsule is a hardcore band from Miami Beach. Started in 2004 by Eric Hernandez & Colin Smith, the band tours the United States frequently. They released a couple records on Dippy Records and in 2008, Robotic Empire released the critically acclaimed “Blue” on 12” vinyl and CD.

On the other hand, Step on the Floor isn't as bad as I expected it to be, but it's nothing amazing either :/

@OnanismMonthly: You gotta be joking ... I still haven't found any band that sounds like capsule's early ish albums, l.d.k. lounge designers killer, s.f. sound furniture, etc ...if anything, their current style is definitely a lot more generic and Nakata is clearly trying to be more mainstream ... and, Pizzicato Five cover band ?? seems like you only heard a song or two by P5, if at all.

I will sum up what I wrote and just say I can see what you are getting at but as far as the p5 / capsule comparison goes it's not very accurate. Similar but far from the same.

it's not. not really. before they started playing the current style of pop that they make they were a very generic sounding post-shibuya kei band.

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say OnanismMonthly. It's like saying capsule are daft punk cover band. IE completely wrong. And I'm saying this as a big Konishi fan and as a big Nakata fan, it's a bad way of putting things.

"So seems like they've compelty abandonned Shibuya Kei, kinda sad because their songs are starting to all sound the same." they were a Pizzicato Five cover band before they switched to more streamlined pop music, so . . .

New song is pretty good, but I assume other songs on the album will best it.
