Capsule (formerly stylized as capsule, then later as CAPSULE) is a Japanese electronica duo made up of Yasutaka Nakata (who handles composing, lyrics, and production - also famous for producing for Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu) and Toshiko Koshijima (vocals, occasional lyrics). Originally founded in 1997, they did not make their record debut until 2001. At their onset, they used a quirky Shibuya-kei style that eventually evolved into the Electronic Dance Music they work in today.
