no comments yet? i've listened to this album a few months ago as background music and really enjoyed it as well, funky 👍

6:19 understand that they've taken heavy and I mean HEAVY inspiration from Weezer, even in their early work. For example, Ao no Uta and 12 off of Hokai Amplifier instrumentally sound like songs off of Blue or Green.

5:40 *jazz music stops*

when you mentioned aishite, 0, im a controversy, rule, show, and chocolat cadabra like that, i just ________ _______ __________ __________ because ado's been singing a lot since she was 16/17. ado sings for fun and she enjoys what she does. when i clicked on the video i shit myself btw

Of course Midori would win, that album is amazing! I would probably pick something else myself but it's the best choice possible.

My J-rock taste isn't diverse, and I mostly swing between AKFG and Sukima Switch (Ik the latter isn't really J-rock, but more on J-pop, but sometimes rock, mixed with Jazz), but I also love Fanclub. Tightrope is already a great song in the album itself, but their live performance back in 2009 with the orchestra is even better. They outdid their studio version on that one.

justo lo que estaba buscando, thanks!!

I dont listen to too many Japanese artists, but I love everything from Masayoshi Takanaka. I think I'd choose the Rainbow Goblins, it's just such a unique experience.

It’s a shame that akfg is falling off hard after their influence on J rock as a whole. But this honestly reminds me of how hard Keytalk fell off which is sad.

My personal favorite from japanese albums is Kuruoshiku Saita Seisan na Mukuro wa Kanade, Itooshiku Saita Shoujo wa Seisan no Uta wo Utau by Imperial Circus Dead Decadance... yuh

If you want to listen to music that isn’t on Spotify on Spotify you can always use the local files option to upload your own mp3 files and add them to your playlist

5:05 most of the producers ado works with are vocaloid producers which is why she is being used similarly to how a vocaloid would be used, I personally really enjoy it

Ok, I have found the best side of youtube

Never has someone so quickly won me over with their music taste, you’ve got a new subscriber right here

I love japanese shoegaze❤❤❤

bro FINALLY someone speaks out on capsule, i’m not sure if it’s just me but i swear that they are currently gaining quite a bit of traction outside of japan as I see more people slowly talking about them, I too, have listened to all of their albums since i noticed that not many people tend to do so (but that is just the way that i listen to music) so this is sick man I just subbed, and keep up the great work i’m looking forward to more music reviews

DESTROY

Hugh actually had no idea about the connection to Ray. I saw them live at a small Fennel(Bassist of Tricot's solo project) and Toddle(guitarist of number girl) show. Didn't realize they were idol girls until they came up, but it def makes sense how they fit. Their music has a lot of shoegaze and post-punky tracks that they dance/sing to. Needless to say, they actually ripped a lot harder than anyone in the audience expected. Will also mention kurayamisaka is popping off in Japan. Their shows sell out in Tokyo pretty fast right now. Just a random side note, this is how I got into studying Japanese which eventually ended up with me moving to Japan. Yeah sure, weabed out my mind (still am), but the underground japanese music scene has so much killer stuff going on. Kind of became a situation of fuck it, let's learn this damn language. Been here for 8 years, don't see myself moving back to the US. Tokyo kind of sucks to live in, but the music scene is hands down the best music scene in the world I think.

This is so true. I used to find that they’re music in the early days (think Ayase’s VOCALOID music pre YOASOBI and THE BOOK 1) had a lot more variance and were just better, but they’re quality is decreasing and they’re music has become extremely boring, just making the same hooks on the same beats with the same chords over and over again.

While I do agree that the albums quality is very inconsistent, I really enjoy this album. The production on most tracks (other than chocolate cotabra and 0) is very impressive for its genre, and the producers behind the tracks really know what they’re doing. In terms of ado’s voice, she isn’t damaging her voice (you can listen to vocal coach Chris Liepe explaining how what she’s doing is perfectly safe) and her vocals range from decent to incredible on this album. At the end of the day, other than the inconsistency on the record, I find it very good. Your points end up being more subjective, and while I respect your opinion, your seeming lack of understanding of both VOCALOID production (where most of the producers on the album originate) and Ado’s singing style is what makes this review so negative. Personally, I would give it a 8-9/10.

Pretty late, but this was a really quality video! glad you brought my attention to this album, really good stuff.

Key change? Is that a Fake Type reference?

Thumbnail: This isn't great Absolutely agree. Calling it great would be an insult, it is fcking amazing. Best album of latest years considering any artist in the world peeeeriod.

Thanks for the listening service 🙂 - I wasn't aware that Capsule have 16 albums out, wow, a lot to digest. To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of their music, but I only know a fraction of their stuff (yet). Some songs are really cool but quite a few just don't do anything for me.

I do find it unfortunate that my first exposure to CAPSULE was Player. Granted I wasn't yet listening to Japanese music in earnest at the time, and I only picked up the album because a couple of songs on it were tie-ups to a J-Drama (maybe that's why it ended up feeling soulless, lol) that I was really into. I distinctly remember being underwhelmed by it a few spins and never listened to it since. I haven't gone back to check the rest of their discography out though and I'll be referencing your tier list when I do 👍

I usually cycle hard through a genre every 3-5 years, and after hearing Satellite Lovers "How much I love you, baby" and watching this video I think I found my next obsession. Thanks for your time here. You do a great job of getting your passion across for things!

Imo, i think its a fine album. Its not too crazy i been some songs hit hard like Rebellion and Rule but really, its just a good album same for Kyogen too, just lacks her aggressive side.

Listen, I get not enjoying Ado's music, but it also seems like you simply fail to understand what she tries to do, as well as simply just don't enjoy the genre she enjoys making. Saying that her voice is "being abused" when she's stated that she's not instructed at all in how to sing a song, already tells me a lot in how much you know about Ado. Especially considering you said this about Show, which Ado has gone on record to say that it's the only song that she's genuinely proud of, and you can tell that considering the highest and lowest note that she hits in her entire discography is on Show alone. Also, I don't really agree with the fact that Ado is known mostly for her very beautiful songs / voice. Her voice is amazing yes, and she's very talented, but she's known the most from her fanbase as a very rebellious singer, who just does what she wants to do, and spreads her voice across a bunch of different genres. I get that this is an opinion, but it just seems like you shouldn't even really be listening to Ado if you don't like what she enjoys doing, because you seem to REALLY rather Ado go on a much more of a un-unique journey and sing much more basic tracks, which isn't what she does or what her actual fanbase enjoys. Like the mirror take was genuinely crazy to me, because yes it's a good song, but to me and I feel like most people who genuinely enjoy Ado, it's a song BECAUSE she changes it up and BECAUSE she does that high-pitched note near the end of the second chorus. It also seems like you think that ISN'T what she enjoys doing, which is just incorrect. She isn't being forced into any of these songs, if she was she would release way more music than she already is doing. And I don't mean any offense by this, but you've pointed out stuff that she does that the majority of Ado fans REALLY ENJOY. Which is why I'm confused on why you're really surprised about the insane amount of dislikes on this video. Like genuinely, I don't mean any offense by this, but this whole video felt like the DEFINITION of a contrarian, maybe outside of the fact that she shouldn't be releasing a bunch of singles and then bunch them all together in one album. Like I get criticism, but this feels like you completely misunderstands Ado as an artist, and why people enjoy her music. I feel like I'm repeating myself a few times in this comment, so I'm sorry, and you seem like a chill person, but I really don't understand some of these takes if you've been able to follow Ado for even a little bit of time, because the majority of what you're critiquing is her whole identity as an artist, which obviously isn't going to change, so I'm not even sure why you still listen to her.

You're so pretty wth, also Midori is insane, ALSO I love the Pillows! and MOFD
