タイムカプセル (Time Capsule) by THE SIXTH LIE ft. KIMIKA

タイムカプセル (ja: Time Capsule) is a song released only as a single in 2025 by Japanese electronic rock band The Sixth Lie featuring Japanese pop singer Kimika (both formally stylised in all caps). The song is almost entirely in Japanese, except the title for some reason. (I've heard a couple other songs where time, in the concept of time travel, is translated to English... I wonder if the concept doesn't work well in Japanese. But I don't really know.)

The band (and singer) have released an all-English version, but you have to browse to their alternate channel "TSL" on Apple Music. I'm not sure how it is on other streaming services, or why they have two accounts, but they commonly use the other account for English covers of their own songs. So the song is available in English (except the video, as far as I know). The English version is nice to know what they're saying, but I think both singers sound better in their native language. If you need to understand the lyrics of what you're listening to, though, they've given you that option.

Wikipedia describes The Sixth Lie as "electronic rock," but I wouldn't really agree with that. Some of their songs fit that description, but if anything, I'd say they have a touch of New Wave, like a lot of early 80s rock from the US/UK. I'd just call it alternative, which IIRC evolved from new wave and rock in the 1980s in the west.

If you like this song and you want to hear more of the same, their song "Virtual Sky" is also great. If you want to hear them play more hard rock/nu metal, look up "Shadow is the Light."

Edit: Topic title originally contained the original title, "タイムカプセル" (and it still shows upon editing), but when I submitted the title, the Japanese title was removed. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a limitation/bug of the Lemmy software, but I felt it was worth mentioning since I did include the artist's chosen title and the system took it off. It's fine to call it "Time Capsule" as that is the literal translation of the title, but タイムカプセル is the name of the song.
