    so Nakata capsule fans, can someone explain to me why Player is so popular? I don't get the love for it, most of the album feels really tedious. Outside of The Music, Hello, and Love or Lies, I don't find myself enjoying any of it, but I like their stuff prior to Player, and I like the stuff after Player. Is that just me?

    Don't think I listen to much "Middle-schoolcore," But I mean...if 90% of your music comes from anime, and the last 10% is 800+ Ke$ha plays, are you REALLY the one to be calling people out? For the record, I love whiny music with angst. It's why I listen to Ayumi. I was just making sure to clarify which capsule is which. ;)

    I didn't even know electronic Capsule was a thing until I came here. I've never listened to them. I don't dislike that they exist in the least, especially since the Capsule I actually do listen to doesn't seem to be incredibly active. We can all be friends even though this is the internet. It's okay, I promise.

    Everything I've ever loved has been destroyed because of the completely unnecessary, asinine descriptions by javsify of a band they've never heard and continue to use even when "trying" to be rational. Why.
