J-Rock Explosion

I’m a bad capsule fan. I was able to pick out Crystal Castles and M83 instantly while watching Chronicle, but my beloved capsule completely eluded me. It’s a good thing I sit through credits otherwise I would have never have seen capsule was included on the soundtrack. My guess is “Flash Back” played sometime during the rave or the after-the-magic-show party. In any case, the song is featured on the soundtrack for real and I’m counting this as capsule’s US debut.

Last summer, Perfume’s “Polyrhythm” was featured in Pixar’s Cars 2, which was produced by Yasutaka Nakata. This makes “Flash Back” the second Yasutaka Nakata song to be featured in a Hollywood film in less than a year’s time. Keep them coming!

Capsule’s 13th studio album Stereo Worxxx will be released March 7 in Japan. “Step On The Floor” leaked last and it’s a great return to form in the vein of “Love or Lies.” If you’re looking for a good movie to watch next weekend, Chronicle was great. Best superhero film since The Dark Knight.
