Capsule and variances of a theme

 

I’ve followed the Japanese Music duo Capsule for a while, and really enjoy their music, especially on long drives… 

so here I am sharing a few of my favorate tracks of theirs for you 🙂

 

Capsule was founded in 1997 by Writer/Musician Nakata Yasutaka and Singer Koshijima Toshiko… Offically launched around 2001. Nakata is involved in some of Japans leading pop groups like Perfume and artists such as MEG and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu….

Babies, The Future, and Population Statistics

An interesting couple of documentaries by the bbc about the changing population of the world with two extreme examples, the massive population decline in Japan and the massive increase in the Philippines. Two different countries at the two different ends of the economic boom.

Statistics trending both ways, as Japan declines and the older generation are too many for the working generation to support (much like what’s happening in NZ) and in the Philippines where it’s the other way around.

Watching the documentary, you can see, that what happened with the boomers in Japan and how its effected the country, will happen to the Philippines or any growing economy. India and China no doubt will be no different.

The third documentary is the statistic one, really interesting to see the world as a whole population wise.
