For some reason this reminds me of the German music group Kraftwerk... dunno why... it's amazing!

I wonder what it is like inside them, a bit claustrophobic??

It is quite small, but not claustrophobic. The single large window lets in lots of light. And the interior is all white. So it feels quite airy.

Yes, it's very much still on the table, sadly. I'm not sure what will happen.

Yeah, I wish they would renovate it. it certainly would be expensive, but worth it. But yes, it's just not considered a landmark. I feel the Japanese in general have a very narrow idea of what tourists like about this place, in particular Tokyo. I fear that in a few decades Tokyo will become a shadow of its former self, very sanitized and lacking it's vibrant character. The loss of Nakagin would certainly be a nail in this coffin.

I wonder if they still manufacture capsules. How much would something like that cost? I would definitely want one of these. A man cave lol

I don't think they do! It was originally built nearly 50 years ago and no capsule has ever been replaced.
