Contemode, stylized in all lowercase, was a Japanese record label founded by Yasutaka Nakata in 2003.
The label was based in Shibuya, Tokyo and specialized in a variety of music styles including electropop, Shibuya-kei, lounge, dance, and hardcore house.
contemode was created in 2003 by Yasutaka Nakata to primarily serve as a label for capsule, an electro band he formed in 1997 with vocalist Toshiko Koshijima.
Nakata had a significant amount of involvement with the artists who were signed to or worked in conjunction with his label, and described the music that came from contemode as an "accessory to fashion"; contemode artists' music was often sold in fashion boutiques located in Shibuya.
In August 2013, Nakata moved to Japanese management company ASOBISYSTEM and Warner Music Japan's label unBORDE, rendering the sublabel defunct.
