is a single by Japanese entertainer Rie Tomosaka, released on January 27, 1999. "Cappuccino" and its B-side "Mokuren no Cream" were both written by musician Ringo Sheena. In 2014, Sheena released a cover of the song on her album 'Gyakuyuny: Kwankyoku', which reached number 98 on the 'Billboard' Adult Alternative Chart.

Background and development



"Cappuccino" was the lead single from her album 'Murasaki.', released one month beforehand. Her previous album, 'Un', was produced by Yasushi Akimoto. Tomosaka had released two singles in 1998, "Koishiteru" and "Itoshii Toki." "Koishiteru" was produced by Seiji Kameda, who also worked on "Cappuccino."

"Cappuccino" and "Mokuren no Cream" were the second and third songs Ringo Sheena had produced for another musician, after the Ryko Hirosue song "Private." Sheena worked extensively with Tomosaka, also writing the song "Shampoo" for 'Murasaki.' and Tomosaka's next single "Shjo Robot" (including its B-sides "Ikenai Ko" and "Nippon ni Umarete"). She worked together with Sheena again in 2009 on her post-hiatus album 'Toridori.', with the songs "Tokai no Manner" and "Kodomo no Jkei."

Sheena first performed "Cappuccino" live at her 'Jisaku Jien Nama Jitsuenkai' concert on June 14, 1999. In 2014, Sheena released a cover of the song on her album 'Gyakuyuny: Kwankyoku'.

Promotion and release



The song was used as an ending theme song for the NTV variety show 'TV Ojamanb' in 1999, a tie-up that had previously gone to the Ryko Hirosue song "Private."

A music video was produced to promote the song. It features scenes of Tomosaka swinging on a neon pole in a black room, as well as scenes of her in a white room holding a lily.
