Music

capsule are frequently referred to as "neo-Shibuya-kei" due to their stylistic similarities, both aesthetically and musically, to acts from the Shibuya-kei movement of the '90's, most notably Pizzicato Five. Their music contains elements of bossa nova, lounge, breakbeat, and most recently electronica. capsule is known for frequently licensing their music for use on television programs in Japan, such as Utawara Hot Hit 10, Hello! Morning, and Nankai Paradise, just to name a few. ja.wikipedia.org, [http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsule capsule - Wikipedia] ] Their song Portable Airport (remix) also features in promos for The Comedy Channel on Australian pay TV.
