Yasutaka Nakata

Yasutaka Nakata formed the electronic duo Capsule with vocalist Toshiko Koshijima in 1999. Their debut album 'High Collar Girl' that same year established his approach to electropop and breakbeats, though the project was just one part of his work as a producer.

He's perhaps best known to international audiences for 'Crazy Crazy,' his 2016 collaboration with Charli XCX and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. The track's production, with its distorted bass and robotic vocal treatments, became a signature example of his style. More recent work includes songs like 'NANIMONO' with Kenshi Yonezu and 'Jump In Tonight' featuring Mashiro Momo.

Nakata's career has spanned over two decades, with a discography that includes Capsule's 'Love Planet' from 2003 alongside his many production credits and collaborations. He works primarily within Japanese pop and electronic music, shaping sounds for other artists while maintaining his own distinct production identity.
