B. phony phonic - 2003

I must capsule's early albums doesn't really stand out well. This is actually their 3rd album & I only like 1 song from this album.
Points: 1/10 total tracks = 1/10 or 10%
C. NEXUS-2060 - 2005
1. beautiful hour - track no. 7
2. tokyo smiling - track no. 10
Also skip an album, this is capsule's 5th album. Slightly better than phony phonic, cause I really like the tune of "beautiful hour", although Koshijima-san does sing but this song doesn't contain any lyrics. While in "tokyo smiling", Koshijima-san's voice is more kawaii-ish since this song is quite fun.

5. Sound of Silence - track no. 9
6. Secret Paradise - track no. 10
7. Star Sniper - track no. 11
You might be wondering why I didn't insert the album cover of this album. Well, you may see it by yourself cause I don't post that kind of thing. But, the music matters more than the album cover. This is another album which I have 7 favorite songs from it, & this album have more electronic sound in it. Sugarless GiRL is really catchy, upbeat, & soft song with an acoustic guitar sound in it. While Spider has more electric guitar sound in it, & Koshijima-san totally nailed the vocals. Starry Sky also has some electric guitar but also electro sound in it. While the rest have only electronic sound.

G. FLASH BACK - 2007
1. Eternity - track no. 3
2. I'm Feeling You - track no. 6
3. Get down - track no. 8
4. Electric light Moon light - track no. 9
This album has a strong 80's sound in it, but still has electronic sound in it (perhaps cause both of them were born in the 80's?). I must say, above all of those songs, my favorite song would definitely be "I'm Feeling You". Nice vocal from Koshijima-san, and I love the tune in this song.
Points: 4/9 total tracks = 4/9 or 44,5%
H. MORE! MORE! MORE! - 2008
1. MORE! MORE! MORE! - track no. 2
2. the Time is Now - track no. 3
3. Phantom - track no. 5
4. Pleasure ground - track no. 7
5. e.d.i.t. - track no. 9
I totally love the album cover, it's really cool!!! The songs are cool too. MORE! MORE! MORE! sounds a bit like a disco tune. While "the Time is Now" has quite a heavy beat in it. Phantom is a really cool techno music. I always have a peace of mind when I'm listening to "Pleasure ground", cause the melody is really smooth, & again, Koshijima-san's vocals didn't disappoint. Last but not least, "e.d.i.t." is a catchy tune. Koshijima's voice when she sang "do you think you can love me" sounded really flirty.

I. PLAYER - 2010
1. Stay with You - track no. 1
2. I wish You - track no. 3
3. The Music - track no. 4
4. Can I Have A Word - track no. 7
5. Love or Lies - track no. 10
Another 2 albums in a row that I have the same amount of favorite tracks in the album. What's interesting from this album is "The Music". It consist of quite a long instruments but also has Koshijima's voice in it, singing in English. I think that Koshijima's voice showed a lot of technique in this album. I love her voice in this album, but overall her voice is really perfect in all my favorite songs but "The Music" since that song is more instrumental-focused.
Points: 5/11 total tracks = 5/11 or 45,5%
J. WORLD OF FANTASY - 2011
1. WORLD OF FANTASY - track no.2
2. I JUST WANNA XXX YOU - track no. 3
3. STRIKER - track no. 4
4. PRIME TIME - track no. 9
This album was supposed to be titled "Killer Wave". But after a real killer wave came in 2011 with an earthquake, this album was postponed & renamed. The theme of this album is quite darker, well, it's a little obvious since Koshijima-san wore spiky head piece, heels, and belt in the album cover. WORLD OF FANTASY really sound like a tune to enter a world of fantasy, in electronic sound of course. I also love the PV, it's really cool. The title of I JUST WANNA XXX YOU should have an extra "X" to show the exact point from this song (if you know what I mean ;) ). STRIKER is a pretty catchy song although it has a little too much noise in it. PRIME TIME also has a noisy intro but then it progressed into a really nice dark-themed electronic tune (based on the instruments), & again, Koshijima-san nailed the vocals.
Points: 4/10 total tracks = 2/5 or 40%
K. STEREO WORXXX - 2012
1. Feelin' Alright - track no. 1
2. In The Rain - track no. 3
3. Dee J - track no. 4
4. Motor Force - track no. 8
This album, is like telling the listeners how capsule's "Stereo Worxxx"!!! Out of the dark themed music, most of the tunes are electronic & perfect for a party song (especially Dee J). However, I didn't hear plenty of Koshijima-san's vocal. Even among all of my 4 favorite songs, I only hear a bit of Koshijima's voice in "In The Rain". Despite enjoying Nakata-san's compositions, I do think that it's even better to include Koshijima-san's vocals in it.

L. WAVE RUNNER - 2015
1. Wave Runner - track no. 1
2. Dreamin’ Boy - track no. 3
3. Hero - track no. 4
4. Dancing Planet - track no. 5
5. Depth (vocal dub mix) - track no. 6
6. Unrequited Love - track no. 8
This is their latest & 15th album, 2nd album after their stylization from capsule to CAPSULE. The album cover is simple, but slightly better than their previous album "CAPS LOCK". The music are really nice, & it consist of more Koshijima-san's vocals in it. Of course, her vocals never disappoint me. The deluxe version of this album will be released this September.
