Capella are about to release their first full album, titled “ココロケイト” (KOKOLOCATE), on August 7, 2013!
The album will be released through Starwave Records, and… there is no way to get your hands on a copy early through live shows this time.
Starwave Records has published the following comment about the release:
“The story of a fated couple. “Even if we’re reborn, let’s stay together” – will their feelings reach one another?”
Sometimes passing each other by, sometimes living in loneliness, sometimes parting… How many times were you reborn before your reunion with your destined mate? “Kokolocate” comes from “kokoro,” meaning heart, and “locate,” describing where one’s heart belongs. The title track, “Kokolocate”, is an uptempo tune that rings with the sound of a “life-sized Capella”! The other tracks also use various changing styles to express the best of Capella. This full album also includes re-recorded versions of old favorites such as “極彩の猫” (Gokusai no Neko) from their first single featuring new lyrics, as well as “わすればな” (Wasurebana) and “reminder” from their single series, for a total of 12 tracks plus a lyrics card combining lyrics with illustrations!
In commemoration of the release, Capella will hold their first overseas performance in Canada, leading into a tour spanning Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka and concluding with a one-man at 池袋EDGE (IkebukuroEDGE)!”

雪 (Yuki) is the owner and driving force behind Arlequin.
She originally started the project in 2009 as a photographer under the name of Arlequin Photography, but developed an interest in journalism and translation ever since. Because of these interests interviews and reviews were added to the project, until it eventually hit the limits as a "photographer" in 2021, and Arlequin Magazine was added to the mix.
雪 (Yuki) is a native Dutch speaker with a graphic design degree, which means she is also the main person behind Arlequin Creations.
After all these years, she's still the one responsible for the interviews and most of the live photography you see here at Arlequin, but the majority of reviews and behind-the-scenes work is also done by her.
The reviews she writes are from the viewing point of an overseas fan, and thus written in English before being translated to Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. In the English versions she also tries to explain the meaning behind certain kanji or song titles to the readers, but what you don't see here is that these explanations are omitted in the Japanese versions in order to appeal to these readers more.
She speaks Dutch and English on a native level, but also understands Japanese and German.
