Just found this group out the other day, it seems they take the theme of the flight attendant (stating the obvious), they've got some pretty good songs... however they've only released one single called "Let It Go!!" and their second get's released on the 14th (of this month) which is called "ハレルヤ" ("Hallelujah"). This group might just become my favourite, just waiting for an album! :P
I recommend these songs (previews only unfortunately):
ぱすぽ☆ 『Girls Pajama Party』 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qn96xuH3aw#)
ぱすぽ☆ 『Let it Go!!』 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b3NxzunU9w#)
ぱすぽ☆ 『Go On A Highway』 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmxJbKpBM-4#)
If anyone knows any more about this group please feel free to post about it! :twothumbs

I stumbled on these girls on youtube before. Love their gimmick :thumbup Listening to them again, some of the songs are pretty catchy too x)
Uwah~! Momoclo and NFS/Fudanjuku are on the line-up for that idol event too <3! -squees quietly-

need more info about this group
(http://picroda.jphip.com/japanese/jphip06399.jpg)
all i know so far is that they performed at the Tokyo Idol Festival and the flight attendant thing XD
Let It go!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRiMVOz1Ipk#)
ps: guess is an official http://ameblo.jp/passpo/ (http://ameblo.jp/passpo/)

(I haven't a clue why the picture looks like this, they thought it was a good idea for their website...)
They clearly screwed up the re-sizing of the picture, but I'm sure they'll fix it. Koharu's and Erika's new blog banner was the same for a while XD
Anyway, this group sounds really interesting, and I like the look of the girls. Keeping an eye out for them too!

Covers for the new single ハレルヤ (09.14)

They also had special editions of Let It Go! which had individual members on the artwork cover, but I can't find any on YJA and they're all sold out here (http://www.fandamon.com/?mode=cate&cbid=666701&csid=0).

After seeing their performance at Tokyo Idol Festival, they've moved up to maybe my 4th or 5th favorite idol group.
Is it just me or do none of the pictures in the first post not show up any more?
Some guy on the street gave me one of their fliers in Osaka this summer.
-
Thanks! I was wondering if my netbook couldn't handle it or something. Only problem now is megane girl isn't wearing them in her profile picture so I still have no idea which one she is.
So far, I can probably only pick out Anzai and Sakuma if I were to see all the girls together.

i was reading about this group and i WHOA they released 3 discs simultaneously... this was after the tokyo idol festival, very interesting
very cool limited editions for their first single Let it Go, seriously, i really like the idea :thumbup

checking the website i found that this agency http://platinumpro.syncl.jp/ (http://platinumpro.syncl.jp/) is basically the same one that passpo but for some reason they work separated in platinum passport agency http://p-pp.co.jp/ (http://p-pp.co.jp/) ... must be something similar to UFA and H!P (i guess lol)
mmm platinum agency is bigger that you thing, they have actors, models and even people in sports
btw if i'm correct (hope so) this are all the 10 blogs from the girls

I wish it would come up on Yesasia though, I could do with some free shipping :nervous
I sent an enquiry to YesAsia yesterday, asking if they could stock the Passpo album and they emailed me back today that both versions are now listed. :twothumbs

Awesome, thanks! :cow:
As for downloads, here's what I have:
Let it Go!! - http://www.mediafire.com/?btftf1m5xq1o74f (http://www.mediafire.com/?btftf1m5xq1o74f) (Ripped from my copy <3)
and there are links to GPP/Pretty Lie/Go on a Highway here - http://forum.nihongogo.com/topic/5101-passpo-akihabaras-other-pop-group/ (http://forum.nihongogo.com/topic/5101-passpo-akihabaras-other-pop-group/) but they all seem to be live versions. Seeing as how sendspace links don't tend to last all that long, I reup'd them on mediafire:

I had a go at working out the lyrics for Pretty Lie too, since it's by ear (apart from the second chorus, I managed to find the kana for that somehow xD; ) it's definitely not accurate, but Pretty Lie is my favourite song by them and I wanted to sing along <3
Pretty Lie
dare demo kitto (complex?) ga kaete ikiteiru

but I know you donna toki mo ai ni kite kureru no ni

Yeah, the mp3's I uploaded are the actual single versions. Thanks for the credit :)
Hehe, I didn't realize there was another PASSPO thread. I thought my thread at nihongogo was the only overseas one, which I thought was really sad because they are so awesome.
Here's my collection:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/DSC01110500.jpg)
That giant dvd case is their stage play, which also came with a Sakura Color single. I'm not entirely sure what the play is about so things I am guessing on will have a (?) after them. The play takes place in high school and all of the girls (who are mostly strangers to each other) join the same club (?, the play takes place in a classroom but since they establish early on that they are all in different grades, I'm assuming it's a club). The central theme of the play was high school friendship (at one point in the play Mio writes the character for "friend" on a chalkboard and it is basically in the background the entire time after that point). The climax of the play involves them having to make an important decision by a vote (and unfortunately I'm not exactly what they are voting on, but one of the girls has to leave). The vote ends without anything being settled because each girl gets one vote. At the end Mio has the courage to break the stalemate and votes herself out. I found a review of the play and google translated it, and evidently the vote was something like the girl had to drop put of school (lol, yeah I'm confused too).
The play was basically a way for the group to showcase their quirky personalities and acting skillz. The girls are pretty good actors too, particularly Mio, Sako, Kaho, Naomi, Shiori, and Makoto. For the girls I didn't mention, I think it was hard for them to stand out because of the role they had. Anna played a shy girl and Natsumi's character was just freakin weird, she was kind of hilarious though. I always considered her the "shy" one, so the role was a total departure for her. Here's some pics of their play:

I rewrote the above because I re-watched it and got a little better understanding of what it was about.

^ Nice pics. Mio and Anna always seem to be together. I thought this pic of them from Mio's blog was cool. They had their 1 year anniversary last week, and for their hard work they got these awesome jackets.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_PASSPOaniversaryjackets.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=PASSPOaniversaryjackets.jpg)
I read a blog entry about their anniversary show at http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/%E3%81%B1%E3%81%99%E3%81%BD%E2%98%86-passpo-1123-1-year-anniversary-show-part-1/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/%E3%81%B1%E3%81%99%E3%81%BD%E2%98%86-passpo-1123-1-year-anniversary-show-part-1/) and they broadcasted the live on ustream. I had no idea... we could have seen the show :cry:
On a positive note, since they have their first album coming out in a few days:

I was kind of bored today... so I made this pic of what a PASSPO theater could look like (and it wouldn't have pillars of death like the AKB theater):

I'm not really sure what the situation is with their live shows tbh. A lot of the vids they have on their youtube channel they're definitely playing on the same stage. But I can't find any theater info or address at their website. I guess I was expecting something like on the AKB website, where they have a ticket info section that has a map and address of the theater. They also have their schedule posted at their blog and it seems the venue is continually changing.
Here's a listing of all of their live shows and the venue they played at:
http://passpo.jp/biography.html (http://passpo.jp/biography.html)
Lol, I remember when all of the members were blogging about their cafe, so awesome. I think the cafe was open for a while though. I remember them writing about it back in October and just last week I saw a pic of the cafe in one of their blogs. I was surprised when I saw it because it made it seem like it was still open. One of them mentioned the interactive device they in the cafe that played videos and music and they thought it was the coolest thing ever:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/o0240032010774781171.jpg)
And for no particular reason here's a pic of Saco serving a donut!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/o0240032010774199384.jpg)
Great job on the banners. When I first saw them I was like "Whoa, a PASSPO banner!!" and then I went to another page and there was another one of them. I stupidly thought that somehow the website knew I liked them so it triggered a flood of PASSPO banners.
Edit:
(http://img258.imagevenue.com/loc403/th_13481_g_122_403lo.jpg) (http://img258.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=13481_g_122_403lo.jpg)
I just looked closer at the pic... that donut is from Doughnut Plant, lol. Doughnut Plant is really popular in New York City. I'm from L.A. but I went there when I visited this summer. It looks like there's a doughnut plant in Tokyo now. It shows that their cafe was pretty high class... as far as donuts go I mean.

haha now all the cafes from jap go have girls band :P
but Paspo is good in all ways :P
the bad part of this is they dont have much singles and live dvds :\

TAKE*OFF safely landed in my mailbox. Thanks mr. mail delivery guy! There are a lot of cute photos in the booklet (I actually recognized a few pics their blogs). There's only one new song on the CD, BREAK OUT!!, but it rocks - literally and figuratively. There are several tracks that were previously unreleased, but they're not technically "new". Their music is getting progressively better, which is a great sign (I'd compare it to the situation with Idoling!!!, i.e. their new music is way better than their early stuff). Looking at the liner notes, I thought it was interesting that GPP, Pretty Lie, and BREAK OUT!! (which I think are their best songs) are all written by westerners (Tom Diekmeier, Fredrik Thomander, Nina Ossoff, amongst others). Seemed strangely coincidental.
Four PVs are included in the DVD as well as a short behind-the-scenes video:

GPP Let It Go!! Hallelujah Sakura Colors
Let It Go!! has some animated scenes in it, which I think are from the anime they released a few months ago:

I have no idea what their anime is about, but the girls do the voice work. I thought this pic from the video was kinda... interesting:

qwiksXnd
i think is better if u can upload in other site :\... lot of problems to download the songs...
when the site let u save the file, save a file with something close to 10kb not the song
-
Seems to be working now, but you have to wait a little while between downloads otherwise the error appears or the download slows to a crawl. I'm guessing it's just something sendspace does for non paying downloaders.
-
I don't come on for a while and album download? Day made. I won't be able to order mine for a while, darn lack of a job :smhid
Those pics from the PVs look good! I can't wait to see them, I've been looking forward to a Passpo PV for a while now <3

Airplane Stickers, Cloud Sitckers, towel, and scarf. I'm thinking of getting the stickers, mainly to put on my snowboard.
I just recently saw this video, they got some TV exposure :) (video is from October when they released Pretty Lie, GPP, and Go on a Highway).

Their wiki was updated and TAKE*OFF was the 168th ranked cd during it's release week. :cry: Well, I guess if I was in Japan I would buy their cd's at their shows since you get a 2-shot/handshake and I don't know if Oricon tracks those sales. I wonder if they are going to try to get picked up by a major label, that's probably their only shot at getting significant sales. But then that risks them changing their image/concept (like what happened to SDN48). Maybe DefStar can sign them to make up for losing AKB. Personally I'd want Pony Canyon so they can collaborate with Idoling!!!.
I've been forced to become a pirate because of yesasia and their.com stock issues, this is becoming a big joke!
If you are still interested, CDJapan and HMV have them in stock. If you order from HMV it comes with a bonus pic (although this may have been a pre-order bonus only).
They had some promotional tie-in with HMV, and performed at one of their stores. Here's some pics of them wearing HMV shirts.

I like how Kaho misspelled her nickname.
Nice poll. I voted for Sako, but I like Kaho and Sako equally. Sako is kind of the Konkon of the group so I voted for her.

I forgot one of their gimmicks is color-coding and just realized that the outfits they wore in GPP match up with their assigned colors. I just thought they brought their pj's from home XD. Or was this obvious :P The video shurastriker posted also reminded me about the color coding.

Passpo, as well as a few other idols (Idol College, Kotone Mai, Mizca, the host was Noto Arisa- I'll find a full list later but those were the only ones I saw. I came in late) on a Ustream live last night. They performed Let it Go!!, Break Out, Pretty Lie, GPP, Go on a Highway, Muteki Girl, La La La Love Train (which really got the crowd going!) I tried to record it using Camstudio, but I didn't realize the audio wasn't recording ;-; and it was a really good and energetic live too (but it's Passpo so that's a given ;D)

Is there a way to keep track of when they'll be on ustream? I think this was their third concert they've had broadcast - they did their 1 year anniversary, EXTRAVE concert, and now this one. Missed them all of course XD. I followed their official channel, but I guess that doesn't help when the show is being broadcast on a different channel.
-
I'm not sure, I only found it by chance, I had no idea if Passpo had even been on yet by the time I tuned in so I was lucky to catch them on (they were the last act). I just checked their blog and as far as Google Translate can tell me they didn't mention it was going to be on Ustream at all. I found where it was on though Cheer-Music Event (http://www.cheer-music.net/event/). On their Ustream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cheer-music-event#) they have clips from Kotone Mai and Doki Doki Dream Campus' performances so hopefully a Passpo one will pop up soon? <3

PASSPO recently started their own live internet show. The show airs on Thursday at 7PM Japan time (U.S. time would be 2AM PST and 5AM EST, Iceland time 10AM) In other words it's on right this second.

http://www.odoroku.tv/idol/passpo/index.html (http://www.odoroku.tv/idol/passpo/index.html)
Ok it just finished... I'll write a little bit about what the show is about for those that missed it. The show follows the basic internet radio show format: the girls sit at a table, one of them has a laptop, and they chat about random stuff (in this ep it was Ai, Mio, Kaho, Natsumi, and Shiori. It looks like they rotate 5 members each week). They start off with a quick intro/MC and then each girls talks about something they find interesting (Mio talked about ninjas, Kaho fashion (I think), and I uh forgot what Shiori and Natsumi talked about (hehe, yeah this is the worst write-up ever). Then they answered random questions that were emailed to them. I wasn't able to really watch it closely since I was simultaneously trying to study for an exam tomorrow, but it was entertaining. It's basically your typical internet radio show... just with the PASSPO magic ™ all the kids love.

aww I'm an hour late xD; I won't miss it next week -determined-

Hype! Strangely I'm more interested in their new outfits than the new songs. Probably because I really don't like their current look - they don't really match their concept and actually look uncomfortable to wear. Their original outfits were perfect so I'm hoping for a remix like:

PASSPO major debut and... ARRIVING TO USA?
http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-7385 (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-7385)
The 10-member idol unit PASSPO☆ held an event on Sunday to commemorate their upcoming major label debut. The cabin attendant-themed group will release a single called "Shoujo Hikou" on April 6 under the Universal J record label.
In addition to the single, PASSPO☆ announced that they will do a world tour later this year that includes the U.S. and some Asian countries.
Leader Ai Negishi (18) remarked that they hope to one day share the same stage as Korean group Shoujo Jidai, who are also signed with Universal.
The group started in January 2009 and has so far released four singles and one album. Their travel theme extends to their live events, and they have introduced a passport system through which fans can earn "mileage points" for participating in events.
also new costumes are... dresses :Y
(http://i.imgur.com/g52Xt.jpg)
still no idea why only 8 on stage but i don't see it as a major issue
edit: i just realized that Kikka is on the same label... wonder if both acts are going to perform together

So happy for them. They outgrew being an indie group, they're just too good not to have the ability to compete with the major label groups. Really, really wish it wasn't with Universal though. Although I think Universal J is different from Universal (U Muisc Japan) - seems like a mid-major (which can be a good thing for a group like PASSPO). Hopefully this means they'l have the ability to book larger venues, get some tv exposure, and release better PVs/stage dvds, while retaining creative control. Changes can come with joining a major though. I just hope their concept remains and their lineup stays the same.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/letitgo2-1.jpg)
Confirmation they'll be playing in L.A! (jk) Morning Musume, AKB, and Mano Erina did, I would freakin love if PASSPO played at AX. Hopefully there is more info about their "world" tour soon.

"PASSPO - 'We're going to hijack the world!' "
Lol, I love when they use the word "hijack"... whenever they get invited to do a show, they say they are "hijacking" the stage.
The big announcement show had over 1,000 people attend! I read at their blog that when they sold out the tickets they allowed people to watch for free from the back.

Oh yeah, shura, that pic of the 8 girls in dresses is actually the group Pre-dia :thumbup. They are another group produced by platinum, so they do shows with PASSPO occasionally.

the meaning of world tour for asian bands is US and Asia... and over O.o aehaheahea
-
I was so happy when I was stalking Arama and saw a Passpo post. Then I saw the words major debut. Then world tour. -dies-
I'm currently clinging onto the small, tiny hope that "some Asian countries" can be stretched to including Australia since we were in the Asian Cup thing for the Soccer. I can dream right?! ;-;
-
the meaning of world tour for asian bands is US and Asia... and over O.o aehaheahea
And "United States" = Los Angeles and New York City
And "Asia" probably = Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
It's unfortunate for fans in other parts of the world, but it's great j-pop groups are finally seeing the opportunities in the international market. (I grudgingly give credit to AKB for starting the trend). Outside of going to Hawaii, it took MM forever to go to the U.S.

lol the event MC... WIN
i think 2011 will be a great year for jpop idols in Japan (already is)... oh and i do want Kikka and Passpo performing on the same stage \o/ make it happen.

Oh yeah, shura, that pic of the 8 girls in dresses is actually the group Pre-dia :thumbup. They are another group produced by platinum, so they do shows with PASSPO occasionally.
loved it

I'm excited that Passpo is getting a major label debut! I listened to their album a few weeks ago for the first time, and I really loved it! Unlike a lot of the new idol groups that have popped up in the past few years, I think Passpo's music is actually pretty good! :lol: I love that they have a pop/rock sound.
-
this article is about Passpo but no idea what is about (HALP PLX) alli know is that they are wearing cool samurai style clothes

It kind of looked like Anna was casting a magic spell.
An article at natalie.mu mentions their U.S. tour will start in May. Although it's probably best to wait for official confirmation, since I believe everything I read on the internet, it has to be true!

^i see what you did with the pic... NICE
i have no doubt they will go to USA to perform but much as a tour i think is better wait for official info... well but since Aural Vampire did a 30 days tour around USA i think it can be done... but not a 30 days one lol
-
I was stalking around and I found the blog of Passpo's choreographer with lots of Passpo pics <3!
http://takenakanaketa.laff.jp/ (http://takenakanaketa.laff.jp/)
The first post talks about Happiness (I think it said was something about that they remind her of SPEED- I only skimmed and google translated so xD; ), then there's more Passpo (something about the major debut) and there's a little on PreDia too.

Today their blog announced their single has a new release date of May 4. I thought something like that would happen when Universal delayed SDN48's single to 4/6. It didn't make sense for three of Universal's girl groups to release a single on the same day.

Happened upon them by accident, and I like them.
-
they sold more that 5k copies, i think that's very good (specially if we compare previous releases)
btw so far my new favorite is Anna because she can dance excellent but specially because those glasses she pimps very frequently :cokecat:

I'm glad my doomsday fear that they would bomb and get immediately dropped from their label didn't happen. 8)
I've been staying up watching their online show (which changed time slots a few weeks ago from Thursdays at 7PM to Wednesday at 7, Japan time) and my new favorite is Makoto. I feel lame that my favorite is one of the popular members, but she's strangely hilarious.

They're all blogging about weekly #1. I don't usually read Ai's blog, I was surprised to see a pic of her with a Sephiroth figurine. I had no idea she was a nerd :O. And she named her kitten Colette from Tales of Symphonia.

I think this is saying Sako won't attend because of school (?). That sucks for her if true.

OMFG d-lugging looks kinda dangerous...
Sako can't travel because school? but why the rest can?... oh well 9 of 10 is actually a good number after all

hehe, I wish it was an economy flight, it was more like stowing away.
I can upload in 320 when my class is over. Jpopsuki has it in 192 for those with less discriminating ears.
I don't know where to upload though. When I uploaded TAKE*OFF some didn't like my choice of server.

Anyone else watch their live?
Seriously one of the best concerts ever. 86 minutes of all-out, non-stop craziness!
"They're the most high energy pop group of all time!!" - some random guy
Every single one of their songs + encore of *a new song* called ViVi Natsu + 2nd encore of Shojo Hiko = PASSPOgasm.
(* about the new song, the word ViVi is spelled like the j-fashion magazine ViVi, so I wonder if there is a tie-in.)

D-lugging... without any injuries.
Near the end a "passenger" at the front (the "first class" section) started sending his creepy wota vibes to Mio. It was simultaneously hilarious and disturbing.

AKB's next single also comes out on the 24th ;). While there will be a huge amount of people in record stores that day, unfortunately I don't see it benefiting PASSPO. I was an AKB fan for a while, and if there is one thing I noticed about the fan base: if they have extra money, they won't spend it on another group, they'd just buy a 10th copy of the AKB single.
An Aug 10 release would avoid all of the main girl groups.
【収録内容】
M-1「ViVi夏」
M-2「じゃあね…」
M-3「ROCK DA WEEK」
M-4「ViVi夏」(Off Vocal ver.)
※「ViVi夏」ミュージックビデオ収録(パソコンのみでの再生となります)

The single will include "ViVi Natsu" and two b-sides "Jaa ne..." and "ROCK DA WEEK", and ViVi Natsu PV. Versions A-J are the individual editions and Ver K is a limited edition with a handshake ticket.
In other news, Makoto blogged that they have a new costume, and the group will be on HEY!HEY!HEY! on July 4.

On my way to Japan Expo in Paris now, today is the PASSPO☆ showcase and signing session. :w00t:
The signing session is by draw so I'm not sure yet to get in... :sweatdrop:
-
^Good luck!
The draw can be a total mess... Very limited amount of tickets, giving out the tickets DURING the actual concert of that group, etc :banghead:
But hey, maybe they improved it this year or you'll get lucky :) Looking forward to hearing your stories!

Just arrived back from an extremely exhausting day, went to X Japan concert in the evening as well, and practically rushed through Japan Expo today for the 1000say & PASSPO live (but I have Saturday and Sunday to actually enjoy it ;p).
I lost the draw for both signings (1000say & PASSPO... :shocked). I hate it that they actually changed it. In the first schedule it was on saturday and was first come first serve, so no draw from a box. But then they changed it to today and made it a draw...
Anyway, the showcase was great and there was quite a bit of wotaing going on, more than I expected :D And one was actually allowed to take pics and record videos during the showcase. So I took plenty, but I haven't looked at the pics of today yet and it's 1am and tired :) Will update with pics one of the next days :)

Was Sako present? I remember reading that she had school (or prison sentence) so she couldn't go, but I never saw it confirmed anywhere.

I don't know their names very well yet, but I can confirm that only 9 girls were present.

then Sako wasn't there because they announced she couldn't make it for some reason that is not very relevant for us (but for her surely is)

Hatix, looking forward to the pics when you get a chance to share them. I want to see if they were rocking the new transparent uniforms (or are the see-through uniforms something I dreamed up).
And Sako is such a nerd XD.

The girl raising her hand is Sako.

Haha, unfortunatly they weren't transparent :P They were just wearing the regular flight attendant costumes :)
I'm on the train home right now, but I'll share you one pic already so you can see the outfits ;p

My videos from Japan Expo 2011. Watch them in 720p if you can as they were filmed at that resolution with a dslr. This is also the reason that it's not always in perfect focus, as a dslr has no auto-focus, but that doesn't mean it's all blurry stuff, certainly not. Enjoy 8).

Last night I went to PASSPOs concert at Shibuya AX. Since I'm using my phone without the app I'm going to keep this short until later, but it was sooo awesome! There were a few surprises, first it was Natsumi's birthday (well that wasn't a surprise for a lot of people there since they were handing out orange glow sticks, but I didn't know), second they premiered their PV for ViVi Natsu and performed "rock da week" for the first time and that song... rocks!, but the best surprise was pre-dia opened the concert!!! Ok, I need to cut back on the !, but they blew me away. They are awesome live, and on a superficial level they are incredibly hot. I'm definately picking up their new single when it comes out in a few days. I love PASSPO and they are my favorite group ever but pre-dia stole the show IMO.
Unfortunately I didn't get to my hotel until around 2am so I was too wasted to see Afilia Saga this morning, but I'll try to see them tomorrow. In a few hours I'm going to Idolings concert, can't wait to see Rurika and Ami.
Anyway everyone buy pre-dia's single :)
-
did pre-dia performed the new single?

^ Yup, they did. I really want to see them again, they were so good. I want to go to TIF if possible.

cool PV ... makes me sad when i think how at least one girl is going to get a baldie xDDDDDDDD
-
At a press conference before the Shibuya AX concert PASSPO talked about wanting ViVi Natsu to be #1 for the week (8-24 is also the release date for akb48's single). One of the girls joked that if they don't get #1 Yuki will have to go bald. (I have a feeling the single will sell very well though)
I also bought pre-dia's two singles so I'll upload them when I get home next week. I'm going to there mini-live tomorrow before I attend Ayumi Hamasaki's concert.
-
I was going to upload pre-dia's two singles in this thread, but I figured it was time they got their own home:

Since the group has been insanely busy recently, this was her first update in six days, therefore it's the pic of the week by default. I love this photo though.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_o0640035911394896416.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=o0640035911394896416.jpg)
人生で初めて食べたタコスも美味しかったよー! (Google translated: I ate delicious tacos for the first time in my life as well!) So freakin cute @ the "tacos". If I ever eat tacos like that I'm going to call them Maco's.
The group is currently doing non-stop promotion for ViVi Natsu, the release is just a little more than two weeks away (remember to buy all 12 copies for a chance to win a golden ticket to the PASSPO Airplane Factory :thumbup). The past two Sundays they've performed three concerts each day, followed by handshake events, face painting and food-fights. They're also doing a lot of store appearances at TSUTAYA, leading up to the single's release. I like how they are going all-out to try to prevent Yuki from going bald.
I don't want to jinx it, but I really hope they get invited to some of the music shows so they can appear with AKB. I want to see good old fashioned idol warfare.
-
Passpo is doing fine but they aren't in the same level that AKB... for now of course :D
-
But I want to see them battle... like when Idoling!!! was on HEY HEY HEY with AKB. Idoling made a lot of fans after that episode.
And jk about actual warfare... although a pillow-fight would be cool.
-
48 against 10 isn't fair imo... but yeah it might happen, AKB management seems to be more open to this kind of stuff... they better get that #1 ... HAIR IS ON THE LINE xDDDDD lol

ViVi Natsu Box Set - includes all 12 versions, and as a bonus you get to talk to your favorite member for 5 minutes. It sold out in a few days (just like the box set they did for Shojo Hiko a few months ago). So I guess this is officially the lucky 13th version.

Really cute segment on Happy Music.
Spoiler: Mio and Ai are nerds XD.

I have a question, are they have theater kouen(公演) like AKB? I watch a clip mention that they did 96 performances in just 2.5 months :yawn:
-
They don't have their own theater, they play at different venues and clubs. Lately they have been trying to expand from just being a Tokyo-centric group and have been doing concerts/events in Nagoya and Osaka.
As you mentioned, they do a lot of live shows. They number their concerts (aka "Flights") and kept a list of them from Flight #1 (09/11/17) to Flight #108 (10/12/24). In about 13 months they did 108 concerts. It's no longer updated, but you can check out the list here: http://passpo.jp/biography.html (http://passpo.jp/biography.html)

This is what their concert tickets look like. I think they reset the Flight # count when the new year started.
This month on the weekends they have been doing 3 concerts a day, and during the week they've been doing store appearances at HMV and Tsutaya. This may have contributed to one of the members (Kaho) getting really sick and missing a whole week of activities. After TIF ended a lot of the members have been blogging about how busy this month has been for them, and you can tell they're relieved that they can finally relax a little.

I thought it would sell 50,000 first week, but they did well. (Shojo Hiko sold 42,706. first week)
Those flight ticket is so attractive :wub:

Unfortunately I think you have to buy the ticket directly at the concert venue if you want one of the cool ones. I bought my ticket from a reseller and it looked like ^. Practically all concert tickets in Japan look similar to that.

^They really did well! Just behind AKB groups and two Korean's group, but I think they deserves a more success...
Wow, Jealousy! Yeah, I wanna one too! I'm planning go to Japan this Nov actually, and I'm locked on their 11/19 ワンマン@新宿BLAZE, but I even don't know how to buy the ticket :banghead: Is it buy from the concert venue? Is it still possible to buy ticket on concert that day? Can you give me further details? Thanks in advance!
edit: Finally, I found the answer for myselt :banghead: It seems can buy the ticket via eplus, pia and even in convenience store XD
ps. Can't wait the whole TIF clips! :inlove:

^ Based on singles, they're the #1 new-gen™ group. They are pretty close to Idoling. It's a hard comparison, both Shojo Hiko and ViVi Natsu have outsold every Idoling single with the exception of Yarakai Heart, but Idoling is much more established. Not sure about MM. I think j-pop groups like Perfume are in a different category of pop, along with the k groups.
How to get tickets
When I was planning my trip I emailed the group's staff for advice on how to buy a ticket and they said that it is usually possible to buy the ticket at the venue on the day of the concert. While it was true that there were some tickets available that day, they were for the second floor, so it's not really a great option. I'm not going to Japan for second floor seats :P. I used this website to get my ticket: http://www.fdjp.com/ (http://www.fdjp.com/)
I want to go back in either October or November. I'd prefer October, but it's Makoto's birthday in November and it would be cool to go to her concert. The 11/19 concert at Shinjuku BLAZE would definitely be her birthday concert (edit: it's Shiori and Sako's birthday in November too, forgot about them XD.)

:plane:

You right! They are really hard to compare with Idoling!!, but as a new-gen group, I think they can already called succeed.
btw, passpo has been overtook all h!p groups, i know
As you mentioned, that live is "Mako-chan birthday's party", so I'm too confused the ticket will sold out quickly XD
I think get the ticket on the day of the concert is no guarantee ,so I willl try to buy it online first. Anyway, thanks for your info again! :jphip:
October is a good choice, It seems they will release the 3rd single in late October :P December also a good option I think, i heard they will held Zepp Tour in the year end?
-
I think it would be possible for you to buy a ticket, they won't sell out immediately. BLAZE has a capacity of 800 people, and they are doing two shows on 11/19 (13:00 and 18:30). Tickets go on sale usually 2-3 weeks before the date. The only problem is some of their shows go on sale 1-2 weeks early for fan club members (PAL☆). That could be a problem if the 11/19 concert is available to the fan club first.
At the Shibuya AX concert I attended, they announced they were doing the Zepp Tour in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo. I don't know what the Zepp tour is though :?.

Is that a Mecha-Mecha Iketeru sports competition between the groups? :O I couldn't find any info at the Mecha website, but sounds fun.
Yeah, it's too bad the online ticket sellers only accept JP credit cards. You pretty much need a Japanese friend you can ask to buy a ticket for you or you can use a buying service like fdjp (just email the website which ticket you want and what your budget is, and they will try to find a ticket for you). They accept paypal, so I think that is the best option.

^^ I don't think there are any concerts in HD (except for their 10,000Y DVD box set, which is also just segments of different concerts I think). There is footage on the 2010 TIF dvd, and they should have decent screen time on the upcoming 2011 TIF dvd. There are a lot of ustream captures on YouTube. You can download the Shimokita FM events they did at H!O (I've been seeding those concerts forever it seems). Outside of that though, I haven't come across any full concerts for download.
PASSPO News™
They're debuting their next single at their 9/17 concert!
Only 10 members will be allowed to participate in this single, and it will be decided by jan-ken-pon. The song will also be a romantic ballad.
Pigmin, you should go to the 9/17 concert. You can also get a 2-shot with Makoto and Sako (it's somewhat rare that they do 2-shots at their concerts these days, handshakes are normal though).
^ Whoa, good find Shura! What the hell is that? And was that Akari, ex-member of Momoiro Clover at 0:55?
edit:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/cheerpasspo.jpg)
Cheerfu11y is a comedy produced by Universal, staring Kaho, Anna, Shiori, and Naomi (PASSPO), Akari (ex-Momoiro Clover), Yuu Kikkawa, and members of the Possible. The movie's plot involves 11 girls who accidentally break their school's statue (i.e. the decapitated arm in the trailer) and then enter a dance competition to win the prize money to pay for it. I like it! It looks better than the horror movies that most idols do.

Hehe, just a reference to AKB :). In that group only certain members can be in a single and sometimes it's decided by goofy shit like jan-ken-pon or fan voting.
The 10 member thing was sarcasm :( And it won't be a ballad either :lol:.

Which group are you talking about? Passpo or Akb?
I came to like Passpo just some weeks ago, so I'm new in all this

Hello. I was just joking about what it would be like if PASSPO's next single was set up like an AKB single (I guess what I wrote would only make sense to someone who knew both groups well :P).
PASSPO is a 10 member group and despite noticeable differences in talent level and popularity, all ten members are treated as equals and appear in every single. On the other hand in AKB48, only the top 13 or so (out of 48) get to participate in a single (and they are selected based on stuff like fan voting, jan-ken-pon, or just whoever management wants to push). Therefore my joke was that for this single only 10 members of PASSPO would get to participate, but of course there are only 10 members to begin with. I was also joking that their next song would be a ballad, but PASSPO doesn't do ballads (they only have one ballad, "Sakura Iro", and it is rarely sung in concert). Therefore it is highly unlikely that their next single will be a ballad.
I hope that answered your question :), although now that I've had to explain the joke twice I feel like a dork XD
-
^ rofl ... your joke remins me on how my sister tries being funny, everybody believes her 100% and in the end she have to say "but is a joke, i was kidding" ... and we O_O
moving on... next single already eh? i'm interested, hope they keep rockin with style :D
-
Due to Sako's Blog, the next single title is "kisu=suki", i have no idea it's a ballad or not.....
Personally, i prefer ballad more than rock actually, so i hope this is a ballad.
I'm really like "Sakura Iro" and the Piano ver. of "Let it go", they're amazing!

PASSPO's movie High Tension ☆ Please was scheduled to come out in two weeks, but Universal Music decided to cancel the release. I was really looking forward to it *sigh*. The movie looked funny, well-made, and educational. Most importantly it was Mako-chan's first movie! :cry:
When the movie was being made they were always blogging about how much fun it was to make. It sucks that so few people got to watch it. The movie was screened only four times in one movie theater in Tokyo and now will never be seen or heard from ever again.
All we have are the trailer, the movie poster, and this really small pic.

We'll never know why Makoto is holding a machine gun and Sako was just a cardboard cut-out. And the movie poster was going to be a bonus item included with the first press. I really wanted that poster XD.
ps: guess who is missing
I guessed Kaho, what do I win? :P
That was the second of three concerts that had to do that day. And they had two concerts the day before. That's like a professional sports team playing five matches in two days. You can tell they were conserving energy because of that. I'm glad they are back to doing just two concerts a month, now they can go all out.

^^Are they going to challenge AKB? :lol: Love them wore this outfit :wub:

Are you still thinking about seeing them? I won't be able to go to Japan in October because of exams that week, so I'll have to go to the November 19 concert. They are also doing a show on November 5 at Universal Studios Japan with Idoling (and other groups). Although I love Idoling, I've already seen them twice, and would prefer a real PASSPO flight.

^Yeah, but i'm just in the planning stage, i don't even get my passport yet(the real one, not passpo one) :banghead:
Question time again, how long does a live last? 1 hour? 1.5 or 2 hours? It's an important thing to me, because if it last too long, it will interupt my planning....
-
For a full concert about 1.5 hours or longer. They do 12-14 songs and then encores. There are also breaks where some of the members do their own thing, like the m&m's might dance to an anime song, Kaho and Naomi might do an embarrassing rap, and Sako and Anna might do a dance also.
When I saw them they did 16 songs (14 songs + 1st encore + 2nd encore, they changed outfits for each encore) and it lasted more than 1.5 hours. Pre-dia was the opening act and they did 4 songs, which added about 25 minutes. Pre-dia opening is always an epic win. I think 1.5-2 hours is a good estimate.
Then there is the handshake event that is optional and you can be waiting in line for 1-2 hours if you are at the end. Well, the line will probably be shorter for the November concert, since there is less capacity.
If you have to leave early to do something else, you can exit the venue at anytime, you just won't be able to return. You could come back for the handshake event though, since that is usually open to anyone as long as they have a ticket.
-
^Thanks for your details breifing! I think i should change my plan, i was planned to see them on last day of my 5days trip, but due to they push their departure time to 13:30, and Delta flight(the airline i may choose) also push their departure time to 18:30(19:15 at first), i think 5hours is not enough for me to watch a concert and then go to the airport, i'm not just only watch the live, but handshaking, 2shot, etc...too XD

I feel sad that they are one of the group who had the least scene time:(
-
Hehe, Ninety-nine joked that Sako was the group's manager.
I thought the show was going to be an athletic competition, but the events were just running to a stick and sumo wrestling. I guess I had higher expectations from mecha-mecha.
PASSPO's specialty isn't variety shows. Personally I'm fine with that because variety shows suck, but if they are going to keep doing them, then they'll have to improve. Right now PASSPO is like Zangief from Street Fighter. They are hardcore and kick ass, but when Zangief goes on variety shows, he's awkward and out of his element.
There are subtle things they can do to improve, for instance Yuki was standing in the front during their intros. Yuki's a giant, and giants go in the back. She was covering up all of the other members. Makoto and Mio should be in the front since they are the face of the group and that allows the other members to be visible.
I'll try to keep my opninons in check for the sumo event, since when it comes to PASSPO (and Shiori) I can be super-hardcore 8): I was surprised that Shiori lost the sumo competition to a 14 year old. And to a member of Super Girls at that. Whether it was staged or not, I didn't like that she let the girl push her down, even if she did start it. I know it's a silly show, but that pissed me off waaay more than it should have XD. And the sumo platform looked too slick, they needed to be on solid ground and take off their shoes. Shiori lost because she slipped/ rant.

qwiksXnd san, I can understand how you feel, with that many groups on at one time, it is hard for one group to get much attention, and even such details, as how you have the members line up, can give that extra edge. Not having devoted much time to PASSPO, their appearance in this show made me want to see more of them, because I thought they were interesting when they did get time. I am a big fan of Berryz Koubo, S/mileage, and I think the decision by the producers to make Momo the main attention girl of the H!P members probably makes sense, but I wish there had been a bit more time for some of the other members.
The big positive of this kind of show is that it advertises the fact that there a lot of other talented groups and individuals other than AKB48. AKB48 is drawing a lot of new fans, but when they do want to learn more about the idol scene, there are lots of other groups out there....
-
why was sdn48 there?... maybe is just because all ***48 are the same for me that... oh and ebisu muscats without shorts was mean (even if they are av girls)
anyways i can't believe that Anna couldn't make it :\ oh and that supergirl pushing shiori was so sad ;_; ... oh and idoling!!! declaring passpo as their rivals was kinda cool (not like BK that found their biggest rival in momoko)
ps: girls are winning fans in a good way (if that means something) but please 5 shows in 2 days was just mean (bad, manager, bad)
-
I think it can be complicated to watch TV shows like this because when your favorite groups are involved, you want them to be seen in a positive way, and sometimes it just doesn't work out. It's like, "Oh cool, my favorite group will be on TV with a bunch of other groups. Now all of the fans of those groups will see how great my favorite group is and they'll definitely be converted!" But then you read comments from those fans after the show and realize that they just weren't into your group, and it's because they were too busy being into theirs.
Four of my favorite groups were involved PASSPO, Idoling, Fudanjuku (although they were on the show as the much less cool Nakano Fujoshi Sisters) and SDN48. The only group that I like that was missing was Afilia Saga East. Even though a lot of my favorites were present, the whole time I was like "PASSPO KILL THEM ALL!" :twisted:. Jk, it wasn't exactly like that, but I was put in a position where I was rooting against some of my favorite groups, and I'm sure other fans of other group were in a similar position.
I'll paraphrase what I wrote on the Idoling board:
Tokyo Idol Festival is about portraying all idol groups in a positive way. The different groups get to interact and collaborate with other groups on stage, and they get to host their own events in a respectful way (there aren't any variety show "comedians" who think it's cool to embarrass and ridicule idols for cheap laughs). And because the event is so positive, the fans are much more open minded towards the groups they normally wouldn't have been exposed to.
On the other hand competitions on variety shows are unavoidably negative. The groups are pitted against each other in competitions that don't involve skill, idols are embarrassed by the hosts, and fans get defensive because we take our groups seriously. If your idol group does well it's like "That's right, this show just proved what I knew all along: we're the best!". If your group did poorly, "This show was biased. If this was a beauty contest or a singing competition we would have won easily". It just results in pointless negativity between fans.
I guess I'm just against idols competing with each other. I like it a lot more when they collaborate.
anyways i can't believe that Anna couldn't make it :\ oh and that supergirl pushing shiori was so sad ;_; ... oh and idoling!!! declaring passpo as their rivals was kinda cool (not like BK that found their biggest rival in momoko)
ps: girls are winning fans in a good way (if that means something) but please 5 shows in 2 days was just mean (bad, manager, bad)
Yeah, I was disappointed that Anna didn't make that jump. She is smart and athletic, she just went about it wrong. There is a technique that allows you to jump way higher, you just have to jump with your back to the bar and then bring up your legs. If you try to hurdle over it from the front, your leg is going to hit the bar every time. That's why the other girl won, she was the only one who did it correctly.
Yeah, I think they were pushed too hard and their schedule contributed to Kaho getting injured. Their next single comes out next month, they'll probably go easier on the promotion this time.
-
what i didn't like about the show waas the cast fo girls, they over exposed SDN as expected and ebisu muscats next to my s/mileage was a big no for me ;_; also i wonder if the sumo ring was very "solid" i think it hurted bad.... anyway i'm glad that ASE didn't participate, i don't think physical comedy fts them at all plus i doubt they are that "famous" compared to the other groups. oh and do you know why the ebisu muscats started to cry so much?
i was thinking if they split the girls in the cases of too thight schedules... but since is always better to perform with the full band then plz manager-san take more care fo the girls.

oh and do you know why the ebisu muscats started to cry so much?
Crying is pretty much a guaranteed way for an idol to get on camera. I'm not positive, but I think one of the girls in ebisu muscats was trying to cry and then Okamura pointed out "Hey, tears aren't coming out". So after the ebisu muscat girl lost at sumo all of the girls cried (it's just a gag though to get camera time). And the original girl still couldn't cry. I don't follow the group but she was funny.

I was re-watching the video that shurastriker posted last week, and noticed Kaho's shoes were placed at the back of the stage. That's kind of like how athletes write a players # on their jersey or shoes if they're missing.

I like how they remember to involve the members that aren't able to participate, like when Kaho was again absent when they did a show at the Toyota theme park in Odaiba, but she was able to do MC from offstage.

^ Haven't seen you here in a while :thumbup. Jaa ne is the new unofficial last song at their concerts. It's there way of saying "goodbye" (and "please leave") to the passengers (but the fans don't get the hint and mess it up by asking for an encore).

PASSPO Research
They haven't talked about their "overseas tour" in a long time, but I've still been trying to figure out which city PASSPO will visit next:
Last week they were in Nagoya:

One mark of a well written pop song is that it can be covered by other artists and sound fresh. Shoujo Hikou (Flying Girl) is a great pop song, Passpo☆ did a great job with it. The guys in this clip are d-iZe and Johnny Saito (he is playing guitar) and they as well as a group of other talented musicians cover lots of songs. Check out their playyouhousejp channel on YouTube for more. So respect to d-iZe and Johnny for honoring Passpo☆ with your cover!

OH MAIMAI GOD, that was freakin hilarious. A few weeks ago Shiori mentioned in her blog that she met Oshima Mai, but she didn't get into any detail, so I just thought it was a random encounter XD.
Back when I liked AKB, Maimai was my all-time second favorite member. That was awesome :lol:

OHHHH no wonder the girl was somehow familiar... is she reguar in that show? ROFL passpo girls noticed her but never stop the performing because they are pros :D

:welcome. Is aibonaipon your tumblr? Just curious, I visit it occasionally. :)
Don't forget to vote for Makoto in the poll. Totally kidding. I don't think I have the power to force anyone to vote for her.
Actually let me try something: shurastriker, change your vote to Makoto!
Today is the weird day of the week where I stay up until 3AM to watch their internet show.
-
Hi there, thank you and yup I do run it! :)
LOL my favourite member is one of the least popular ones - Yukimi. <3
I'll be catching that too! Tonight all 10 girls will be there, yay!
edit: omg no wonder, it was their last show plus Nachu couldn't make it :( here's 2 screenshots from the very last seconds:

Yay, Yuki has a vote. Oooh, do you also run the snsdlyrics blog?
I didn't realize it was there last show, I should have paid more attention (I usually casually watch while doing homework). The website does say it was their final episode. M&m's looked sooo cute today, but I tend to just pay attention to Shiori because her personality is like a car crash I can't turn away from.
The video quality seemed to have improved a lot from last week (I wonder if odoroku went through an upgrade), although maybe it's just my internet connection. Watching pre-dia's show now with their new member, she's cute.
If it was their last show, I'll miss Shiori's weirdness (like annoying Yuki and Sako today). Their show is actually the reason I am a Makoto fan though. I've liked PASSPO for a while, but for over a year she was completely invisible to me. After watching their show, I started to realize how adorably hilarious she can be at times. And now I've become an annoying Mako-chan fanboy that asks new members to vote for her.

Yay, Yuki has a vote. Oooh, do you also run the snsdlyrics blog?
I didn't realize it was there last show, I should have paid more attention (I usually casually watch while doing homework). The website does say it was their final episode. M&m's looked sooo cute today, but I tend to just pay attention to Shiori because her personality is like a car crash I can't turn away from.
The video quality seemed to have improved a lot from last week (I wonder if odoroku went through an upgrade), although maybe it's just my internet connection. Watching pre-dia's show now with their new member, she's cute.
If it was their last show, I'll miss Shiori's weirdness (like annoying Yuki and Sako today). Their show is actually the reason I am a Makoto fan though. I've liked PASSPO for a while, but for over a year she was completely invisible to me. After watching their show, I started to realize how adorably hilarious she can be at times. And now I've become an annoying Mako-chan fanboy that asks new members to vote for her.
*late reply*
LOL I love how Yukimi and Shiori are always messing about in their own little world every time they appear on the web show together. :lol: They were so cute linking arms, leaning on each other, poking each other, giggling & whispering together as well as Shiori poking Sako from behind during their last show. :P
Yup I run the snsdlyrics blog too :) The PASSPO page is way too unorganized and messy though. D: I keep forgetting to update it and make it prettier lol :p
I hope pre-dia's show takes over PASSPO's one's old time slot since I hate staying up late to watch things. I also hope this means PASSPO will get a proper tv show of their own since their web one finished.
BIG NEWS that I know qwiksXnd will love!
Makoto is releasing her 1st solo photobook!! :)

The PB title is "Run Run Makoto" and is 1,995 yen. It's out on November 1st!

PASSPO News™
12月発売予定のDVDシングル 『キス=スキ』 が決定しました。ぜひ、ご確認下さい。
Their next single Kisu=Suki will be released in December.
A few weeks ago Sako blogged in this entry that it would come out in October.
http://ameblo.jp/sacopon/entry-10999557875.html#cbox (http://ameblo.jp/sacopon/entry-10999557875.html#cbox)
If it came out in October, it would have only been two months from the release of ViVi Natsu, but I think they were trying to make up for the delay the March 11 earthquake had on the original release date of Shoujo Hiko (scheduled to release on April 6, it was delayed to May 4). Releasing their third single in October would have kept the schedule of a new single every three months. This also would have allowed them to release their second album in December (TAKE*OFF was released Dec 8 last year). Of course they could still release an album in December even if they release a single in that month, but it seems less likely. This is just me rambling though, they haven't mentioned anything about their second album yet.
PASSPO Flight News™
Today they changed the venue of the November 19 concert to Asakasa Blitz. Previously they were going to perform at Shinjuku Blaze. Blitz has a capacity of 1400+, while Blaze has a capacity of 800. The first thing I thought of when I read Asakasa Blitz was their performance at last year's DANCEROID FES, which was held at Blitz. At the time that was probably the second largest venue they had performed at (the largest being TIF 2010). After the concert Yukki mentioned they'd like to perform a solo concert there in the future.

It's a really old video, but in case anyone missed it:
ぱすぽ☆ コメント DANCEROID FES SP!! 28/11/2010 PASSPO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qeOewp0rzA#ws)
It's cool that a year later, they actually will be performing a solo live there. The November 19 concert also happens to be the concert I am 99.7% sure I will be attending. I think pigmin is also thinking about going.
I think there is a good chance that pre-dia will be the opening act for this concert. There are a few similarities between this show and their show at Shibuya AX in July, which was the last time that pre-dia opened for PASSPO. Similar venue size (1500 for Shibuya AX and 1400 for Blitz), and pre-dia will have had a new single come out the following week after both concerts. Of course, pre-dia recently started doing their own solo shows, so again this is just me rambling.
@PASSPO: Yay, I'm glad it's you. Sorry if it seemed like I was prying with the questions. I actually thought you weren't a fan anymore because I hadn't noticed new PASSPO entries at your main blog (which is totally ok) and you stopped posting at the *other* forum (which is totally ok). Hmm, I hope that doesn't make me sound like a stalker XD. I remember when we were the only overseas PASSPO fans. And now... there are like 6 or 7 :P.
LOL I love how Yukimi and Shiori are always messing about in their own little world every time they appear on the web show together. :lol: They were so cute linking arms, leaning on each other, poking each other, giggling & whispering together as well as Shiori poking Sako from behind during their last show. :P
It's a good thing Natsumi wasn't in the front seat blocking them, jk (totally kidding, she blogged that she missed the show because she was sick). Confession time... I *may* have called Yukki a "giant" in the previous page :oops:. In case you saw that and hated me.
And Makoto is getting a photo book?

^Bad news for me XD I prefer Shinjuku Blaze rather than Asakasa Blitz personally. But i think i'm still wanna go....
Yeah, Makoto will realese a PB, and now has confirmed the realese day

I'm totally fine with all the questions and I've never stopped loving PASSPO! In fact I love them even more. :D I just got lazy with updating. :( I'm not good with forums either, I just stick to twitter (and a bit of tumblr) these days with PASSPO news. :B I remember that too! I was so happy to find an English page that had stuff about PASSPO since there were barely anyone who seemed to know them which motivated to start my own fan page with info. I'm glad they've gotten more popular with non-Japanese fans and LOL at "And now... there are like 6 or 7."
I don't hate you for that, she really is a giant. :lol: It sucks Nachu didn't get to be there for their last webshow broadcast, I hope she gets better soon since they have 2 shows to perform today.
I'm really looking forward to Mako-chan's 1st PB! :) This is really great for her and I knew this would be happening sometime soon since she's the most loved member by fans. I saw some of the photographer's previous works (http://kawashimakotori.com/work/) (he's only released 2 other PBs) and I like what I see. The title 'Run Run Makoto' makes me think of Alice in Wonderland.. I know Makoto loves the mori fashion style so personally I would like to see a fairytale fantasy inspired PB with lots of pretty forest shots in dresses (but not the lolita style that Mio loves) instead of the 'typical' idol gravure PBs that have swimsuits. It would be cool if they had been able to shoot some stuff in the snow since I always love snow scenes in PBs. :wub:
It would be a shame if pre-dia stops doing the opening for some of PASSPO's shows. :(
Random bits of PASSPO news
* Starting from October, 'Kiss = Love' will be the theme song to NTV's GuruGuru Ninety Nine. (http://www.ntv.co.jp/gurunai/) I really can't wait to hear this song!
* Not sure if this has been posted yet but the b-side to 'Kiss = Love' is called 'Hello' and the intro's choreo involves a new scarf technique. I can't wait to see it! I also don't know if this single only has the one b-side since 'ViVi Natsu' had two, if there is going to be another they haven't announced or performed it.
* 'Kiss = Love' will be released as a dvd single sometime in December. I think it's a song about unrequited love.
* I've read that an album will be released at the same time as their next single but I don't think this has been confirmed so let's just think of this as a rumour, either way I can't wait for a new album!

Moshing, lifting people up and jumping are now banned at shows.

ぱすぽ☆「ViVi夏」BOMBER-E 秋まつりSP2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfNO7nGael4#ws)
PASSPO at the Autumn Festival in Nagoya on 9/25. I think this is the first footage with their new costumes (which kind of look like a combination of their last two outfits, but with a hat). And Shiori's close-up at the beginning was :lol: and :wub:.
The girls didn't get paid to attend the festival, but they each got to take home a limited edition commemorative fan.

This pic is from May but I just randomly stumbled upon it. She's with Uramasa from Fudanjuku.
This week Shiori has been answering fan questions at her blog and someone mentioned her nickname Morishi is similar to Morrissey. She replied that she had heard of Morrissey before and a fan had given her a cd. I thought it was interesting for a Japanese fan to mention that.

October 3rd update:
Moshing, lifting people up and jumping are now banned at shows.
Fans only go crazy because Shiori and Kaho encourage it :P.
jk, I actually noticed that too but I think it would be hard to enforce. Concert venue staff at small and mid-size venues are typically really lax when it comes to enforcing rules. At every show I went to (not just PASSPO) there is an announcement not to mosh or jump off dividers or act like an idiot. But when the show starts the staff disappear and are never seen from again. And then you hear all the doors lock and it's every man and woman for themselves. I think the whole "moshpit with glowsticks" is part of the PASSPO experience. The only way to ban moshing is to only book concerts at venues that have seating, but that reduces capacity... and it's just not cool.
Or maybe there can be a compromise, like you can only mosh, jump, and dive off structures in slow motion.
Since they are releasing a single with a DVD I guess it won't be 1,000Y, like most of their previous singles. I'd prefer CD single because it's cheaper and it's better for the environment not to press a disk just for a PV (unless there is other content besides the music video).
^Bad news for me XD I prefer Shinjuku Blaze rather than Asakasa Blitz personally. But i think i'm still wanna go....
I need more info about the change, but there are a few things I am concerned about (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif):
1) It's possible they will reduce the two shows there were going to do at BLAZE to 1 show at BLITZ. Of course it would be horrible if they did that, because I'm selfish and want to go to both shows. And it would suck if one concert had to be used for the birthdays of three members. I was thinking they would celebrate Shiori's birthday at the 11-5 show at Universal Studios Japan, but that event has mysteriously vanished from their schedule.
2) Since it's a larger venue they also may have advance ticket sales for fan-club members. This isn't that bad, but it's a little unfair to overseas fans who aren't able to join PAL and therefore have to wait 1-2 weeks in order to buy a ticket.
Advantage of Blaze
3) There is a McDonalds really nearby, and I was planning on buying Chicken McNuggets for Shiori and give them to her during the handshake.
I guess it's best to just wait for more info. Sorry for all the rambling.

Fortunately, the management has announced that there will still have two shows on 11/19 BLIZE One Man Live today :twothumbs The only thing i'm concern at this moment is the ticket price, i hope it will still the same as before.
p.s Happy belate B'day to Mio!

The photobook entry was so detailed :). I laughed at "looking happy, looking displeased, dancing, leaping into the air and laughing!"
The only thing missing is "Makoto napping". I was looking at their singles yesterday and in the Hallelujah booklet she was napping in some of the pics, and I think she has a reputation as an eternally sleepy person.
Makoto dancing reminds me of this "dance" she learned from Sako:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-2-7a.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-2-7a.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-2-7b.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-2-7b.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-2-6.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-2-6.jpg)
Speaking of dancing, am I the only one that is really amused by Natsumi's dancing? I've always noticed that her spins are "at her own pace", but recently I've been seeing stuff that I find hilarious. Like in the above youtube video, at the end she doesn't complete the routine with her arm and is ready to walk off stage, and then staggers back into the pose. I wonder if she drives their choreographer crazy XD (Kaho also salutes with the wrong hand, hehe)
^ I think the price of the concert should still be same. Sometimes there is a 500Y cover for drinks though. Really glad it's still two shows, so awesome. That's a lot of passengers. :plane:
Oh, and since my friends are always telling me they don't get when I am joking, I wasn't planning on getting Shiori Chicken McNuggets. That would be gross and I'm not even sure the McDonald's in Japan serve those. There is a McDonalds next door to Blaze though, which is why I thought of that. And if anyone was confused by the Mio "duwa duwa" pic I did from last week, it was a reference to School Rumble. I thought she looked like the main character in that anime:

LOL yeah I was just reading the description from the Japanese listings and it had stuff like that and a little more. Sleepy/Sleeping Makoto is so cute :) Nachu is so dorky. :lol: I love her love for ice cream and she's the only member who was born in the same year as me. I love 'ViVi Natsu' since it's one of the PASSPO songs where nearly all girls get a solo line.. I wish they will have one song where everyone gets at least 1 solo part. D: *crosses fingers*
On the 12th of October the movie that Naomi, Kaho, Shiori & Anna are in 'Cheerfu11y' will have its first screening. I wish I could go, it looks like a cuter version of 'Bring It On'. I hope they will actually release this on DVD since they canceled the DVD release for PASSPO's movie 'High Tension'. :(
The BOMB issue that Makoto is in comes out today, I can't wait to see the scans. According to the BOMB website she's listed under "bikini gravure".
PASSPO will be in BLT magazine that's out October 24. :)

I didn't realize most of the members had solo lines in ViVi Natsu (so I had to listen to it following along with your color coded lyrics (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif)). I always thought it would be cool for the individual version of the singles to include a bonus track with that member singing the song solo or having the lead vocals. And for the PV to include a *dance shot* version with just Natsumi :P.
Since Natsumi and Makoto didn't have a line... it reminded me of something I thought was weird about the kawaii girl japan video from Shiodome AX. I've watched it like 20+ times, and I always thought something was weird about the MC part. When it came to Natsumi and Makoto, they were handed a live mic. I thought this was strange because they already had mics. Why would they need a mic if they already had one? The other girls just adjusted their mics closer to their mouth when they did their intro. Is it because... is it because... their mics are turned off?? *cliche horror music* What if their mics aren't even real, and they're toys they bought at the 100Y store *dies*
Well since I am pointing out pointless stuff, Sako's mic was also freakishly large compared to the others. I bet they made fun of her :cry:.
On the 12th of October the movie that Naomi, Kaho, Shiori & Anna are in 'Cheerfu11y' will have its first screening. I wish I could go, it looks like a cuter version of 'Bring It On'. I hope they will actually release this on DVD since they canceled the DVD release for PASSPO's movie 'High Tension'. :(
Hehe, I thought of "Bring it On" also. That was actually a Universal movie and since "Cheerfu11y" is being produced by Universal Japan, I guess the similarities were intentional. I'm still a little bitter about the "High Tension" catastrophe. Maybe I can go to a shady part of Tokyo and buy a bootleg version. Is there a "china town" in Tokyo? *kidding*
-
^ That idea for each member's solo version of a single to include a bonus track with only them singing the song is such an awesome idea! LOL at having a Nachu-only dance shot. XD
The mics have always been strange for me to see. Some of them (the main singers) have hand-held ones and the ones who don't, I've always wondered if those were turned off/just a prop or just much more quieter with them singing over a backing track. I don't know. D:
I'm disappointed that they canceled 'High Tension' not only once but twice! :( The first time they canceled it I understood since it was really expensive but it came in a box-set with a behind-the-scenes photobook. Then they were just going to release it as one dvd but it got canceled without any notice. :/
OMG look what I found!
On sale on October 18 - Young Champion magazine and guess who will be on the cover and have the main gravure spread?
(http://i.imgur.com/ljvXO.jpg)
This is so exciting! I am so glad it's the whole group instead of just Makoto with maybe Ai or Mio. YAY for the whole group! :heart:
The bottom right also says there will be a PASSPO clear file too!
Makoto and Mio both tweeted that they are both on their way to Hiroshima right now, saying it's both their first time going. I'm guessing this is for a photoshoot. :O
-
Did someone say "bikini"? *puts on glasses* (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif)
My observations
It appears they are wearing the same style bikini and they are color-coded. Anna's head is blocking Natsumi. I can't verify that she is wearing a top. *takes off glasses* :)
How many "Young" magazines are there, Young Weekly, Monthly, and Champion. Japan, lol.
And yeah, the multiple cancellations were annoying. It's weird because Japan is the land of super low budget movies and every week it seems there are hundreds released.
I think sometimes a studio just needs to release a movie regardless of how it will sell. It reflects on the group poorly to have a low selling movie, but it looks worse when the movie isn't even released. And if the girls want to audition for a movie they can't really talk about their debut. "I was in a movie! It was great. You can't watch it though... it was never released." *awkward silence*

M&M Adventures™ - Fieldtrip to Hiroshima®
Last week Makoto and Mio were given permission to return to their hometown in Hiroshima to spend some time with their parents.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-10-9a.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-10-9a.jpg)
This is the only photo we have of the entire family together! They look so cute with their parents Megumi and Mario.
Once they changed into their little kid outfits from when they were in elementary school, they embarked on their adventure.

After an hour of adventuring, Makoto telepathically informed Mio that it was nap time.

Ever since they were kids they've enjoyed napping together :wub:

Once they were "powered up" by their two hour nap it was time for important field research... with crayons.

After a long day of adventuring, field research, and multiple naps, Makoto prepared dinner for the entire family! In this photo she is serving monster brains, her favorite traditional Hiroshima food :drool:.
The End.

^^ Yay! And the members that weren't in the movie attended the premier to show their support. They were all there! Except Sako! She said she was at home "studying", but really she was plotting how to get the lead role in "Cheerfu11y 2".

This photo is pretty old but since there are so many photos of them looking like dorks, I thought it was important to show that they can still be totally cool.

LOL cute story! XD
Here's a video of the cast of Cheerfu11y talking about the movie!

PASSPO will be doing 2 shows at BLAZE today where they will perform a brand new song as well as revealing a new corner/segment! :D
EDIT!!
* PASSPO's new single 'Kiss = Love' as well as their new album 'CHECK IN' will both be released on December 7! ...same day as AKB's janken senbatsu single lol. D:
* I found 3 listings on Amazon JP for the album. One is 3,000 yen while the other two are 3,500 yen. Only one of the 3,500 yen ones is Limited Edition. You can find the links here: http://twitter.com/# (http://twitter.com/#)!/PasspoRadar/status/125479254619209730
* Last night the girls did 2 shows at BLAZE. At the first show they celebrated Miomio's birthday from October 6th as well as celebrate Halloween. They celebrated Halloween during the second show too.
My friend went to the second show last night and got to have a 2-shot with Miomio. :) Miomio told her that she remembered seeing her from a previous show, aww! :D Also in her own words:
"omg passpo is the best ( ;∀;) my friend wrote naomin a letter about how we met at their live and went to karaoke and added our purikura and apparently naomin had tweeted about getting a letter that made her really happy, and she told my friend tonight it was her letter! ;u;"
PASSPO really is the best! :wub: oh, and..
"today's show featured special guests angelina musshu, shiori forest, and anna montana"
XD

DETAILS ON PASSPO'S 1st MAJOR ALBUM HERE! http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-check-in/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-check-in/)

PASSPO news is so exciting! XD And it's fun reading about someone who went to a Flight. :plane:
I have a few thoughts but I'll have to edit them in because I'm... tired, lol.
edit #1
11-19 @ Akasaka BLITZ
OPENING ACT: pre-dia :D
Ticket release date: 11-5 (I guess that means no pre-sale for PAL, hehe)
New songs and costumes!
edit #2
According to the Universal J site CHECK-IN will have 15 songs, including "See you Again" and another new song called "Turn Round" and six more new songs. So I think it's See You Again + Turn Round + six more new songs + K=S and Hello + the 2 singles and b-sides.
Remember how Take*Off just had one new song :)
Edit #3
PASSPO news is so exciting!
edit#4
I think edit #2 may be incorrect, because that would mean their album has 10 new songs. Is that even passpossible?
Remember how Take*Off just had one new song :)
-
^ PASSPO news really is exciting! XD
I'm really, really excited for this new album. 3 versions though with 2 being Limited Edition, ahh. D: I think I might get LE A for the photobook.. but the DVD is tempting too. I hope someone rips it and uploads it somewhere because I don't have the money to buy both. :(
"passpossible" :lol:
I got confused trying to count up all the songs but I do believe that there will be 15 songs altogether in the album. On the CD Japan listings for both the LE A and LE B, I'm pretty sure it says that people who buy the first press will also get 1 new bonus song. :O
'Young Champion' magazine went on sale today and here's a photo of the cover along with a PASSPO clear file you get with it! So cute and colourful! :)

Young Champion looks great. So young, so champion! I checked HMV and amazon but I don't think they sell it. It was not meant to be. You can tell they look great on the cover though. And I'm still not sure if Natsumi is wearing a bikini top (jk).
I think I'll get A + B, but I'm not sure about K=S. I'll consider it based on any possible bonus that comes with it. I pre-ordered both versions of pre-dia's single and Mako's pb so I might just stick with A+B.
I'm curious about the unit songs you mentioned. Pre-dia's single has two unit songs (a duet with Rumina and Akane, and a song with five members). There are infinite possibilities but since I like to predict stuff (and ramble) I think they will either do 1) two 5-member songs, or 2) one song with the "aces" and one M&M song OR...*drum roll* two Kaho and Naomin rap songs (one gangsta rap and one rap-ballad. Natsumi could be the third member of the rap group but she just dances). And the bonus song could be a third K&N rap song :note:!
-
I'm not sure about K=S's dvd single either since I think it's just going to contain the music video and nothing else. :(
LOL the unit songs make me think it might be a Naomi + Kaho thing or the M&M's too. :lol:
A few months ago a new contest started for rock bands to apply and have the chance to perform with PASSPO in the future as well as get a cd produced for them. The final bands have been chosen and now we get to vote for who we want to win! 8 bands made it through:
http://www.street-f.net/passpo/passpo.php (http://www.street-f.net/passpo/passpo.php)
There are 2 videos each (the grey buttons). Both are of the band performing with the second video having them perform a PASSPO song. To vote, click the red button. Have fun! :)
-
Cool. I saw the update at your tumblr and then spent way too much time at work watching the videos, hehe. Is the evaluation grade from the PASSPO members?
It looks like they are planning on having the winner perform at the 11/19 Blitz flight, which will be their 2 year anniversary (Flight #1 was on 09-11-17).

Shiori got a new iphone case (the superman one), for us iphone users this is major news. And she wears that batman hoodie a lot. She must have a closet full of identical ones for each day of the week.

Hey guys. I thought I post here say hello. This Passpo thread is way more active than any other forum. I'm getting a little bored of posting all the news about Passpo haha. Also, the English forum has hardly anyone on it. ( Just Me :sad: )
I'm planning on getting all versions of their album and the Kiss = Love DVD (two copies, one as a gift in fact)
I couldn't see it before so apologies if it's been discussed but what bonus photos did everyone get with their ViVi Natsu singles?
Hopefully in the next few days I'll pay my last custom charge for my ViVi Natsu singles. -exciting- I've been waiting for this last parcel for what feels like forever.
Also I only got Take Off (RE) the other day. Which is bad. I need to work on getting the rest of their discography.
So................ hi!
-
This performance is a bit old, but maybe newly posted by cutielovegirls because songs get yanked so fast off of YouTube,
Anyway, great performance by ぱすぽ☆
ぱすぽ☆ - ViVi夏 / 秋まつり2011 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIhSfK_Zi8E)

^ Great performance thanks!!
Thank you for the welcome qwiksXnd. I think I voted for her before I even posted. :P
Who did you guys vote for for the bands? It was Salmon Pink for me. I really like them and didn't like any of the others at all.
-
^I voted for the Visual Rock one! :P I wonder what happen if that band win..... XD
-
I still haven't voted yet.. D: I'm torn between 2 groups. Voting ends later on today so I'll re-watch all their performances and hopefully have made a decision by then. :P
PASSPO 2012 Calendar!! It will go on sale November 18 and will be 2,500 yen! Not sure if online stores will stock it, at least pre-order listings aren't up. I really hope it'll be easy for non-Japanese residents to get it!
I have all the details on the calendar as well as some preview photos of it here: http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/)
It was shot in Okinawa so there are a lot of bikinis. :lol:
-
PASSPO BIKINIS 8D fun fun fun
lol i vote for zombeats because i think is an awesome name :cokecat:
-
PASSPO will also be releasing 2 books next month and they sound really great! I hope they have lots of pages in them since that wasn't specified. I wrote up a page with all the details I know here: http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/)
The photographing for the books was done as the same time as their calendar ( http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/) ) so there's probably going to be a lot of summer-y beach/pool/bikini/swimsuit photos. :P
All 3 releases are out in November but I'm not sure if they'll be for sale at online stores... since these are done in collaboration with B.L.T. magazine. I don't know if that means you can only buy them at a special event in Japan. :/
-
^ Thanks for the info!
I didn't even know they had a calendar coming out. I was hoping but didn't know. D: I know what I want for Christmas. Also, girls, stop releasing stuff!! Three album versions, Makoto PB, DVD single, Calendar and two books. Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?! I haven't ordered any of the yet. ; ;
-
A few days ago Shiori blogged that they've been in the studio recording their album. According to her it's going to be "Morishi-tastic" and "Shiori-rific"! She was also wearing her Batman hoodie (jk).
Since the competition is over, I voted for Salmon Pink on day 1 and then Zombeats, Fresh Venom, Zombeats and Zombeats.
Passenger News of the Day™
Today I booked my flight to Japan to see PASSPO on Nov 19 :). I'll be staying at the same hotel that I was at this summer, which coincidentally is about 1 km away from Blitz. I was planning on seeing Idoling on the 20th, but pre-dia recently scheduled a concert for the same day. I actually predicted they would do that. Well I didn't write it down anywhere because no one would care, but I predicted it in my mind that they would do a concert that weekend (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif).
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_passglowsticks.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=passglowsticks.jpg)
And although this is going to make me seem like a huge dork, I also ordered glowsticks from a Japanese glowstick website and they arrived today :P. I actually had some leftover disposable glowsticks from the Idoling concert I went to, but I noticed that not many people use those anymore. I read somewhere that some idols don't like it if you have multiple favorite members, oh well!
-
^ You're going? Awesome. Have you ever bought goods from the lives?
Also, nice sticks. :P
EDIT: Didn't notice but thank you too whom ever voted. :3
EDIT: Do we know if their film was ever released on DVD? I heard some where it was only available to buy in Tokyo. qwiksXnd are you going to have a look for it? I'd love to know if it's buy-able, I would just die for a copy. <3
Also, does anyone have any of their photos available at their lives. Are they worth it? Because I'd like some and I'm wondering if it's worth finding someone to pick some up for me.
-
qwiksXnd, I also booked my flight on this month early, see you on 11/19! ;)
-
^ & ^^ Have fun in Japan guys! I can't wait to read about your time there. :D
@Charlokylie: Do you mean their film 'High Tension Please'? The DVD release was canceled ..twice. D: I hope 'Cheerfu11y' will come out on DVD and not get canceled.
Great news everyone! CDJapan, HMV Japan and YesAsia have pre-order links for PASSPO's 2012 calendar and HMV JP & CDJapan have pre-order links up for the ATTENTION PLEASE Visual & Character books! I have the pre-order links up here:
http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-2012-calendar/)
http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/)
There's a catch though - CDJapan says the pre-order deadline for all 3 items is October 31st (Japan time) which is on Monday. It's Saturday evening there now at the time of when I posted this comment. Very short pre-order time..
I asked CDJapan if that means the 3 items are a "very limited release" and if it's still possible to order the items from them after the deadline, they responded to me with:
"Yes, the publisher will be able to commit 100% to orders placed before the deadline. It's really hard to say [if we can still pre-order after the deadline] because they will be supplying them to a large number of shops and bookstores. It's best if you order before."
I don't think HMV JP has a pre-order deadline for the items though. Just letting you all know in case you want the items, there's not a lot of time to pre-order before the CDJapan deadline! D:
EDIT:
A PASSPO DVD called 'Po' will be sold at convenience stores all over Japan - 7/11 and Circle K Sankus - on December 1st at a retail price of 1,980yen! Other DVDs titled 'Pa' and 'Su' will be sold at a limited event. OMG WANT. D: These items are too exclusive. :(
-
^ d-d-d-d-DVDs? OMG, it's like they hate us. ; ;

^ Glad you are going to go, so I guess you got your passport (the real one, not PASSPO one, hehe). I'm not sure how you decided to get your tickets, but I wanted to quickly let you know that although general release is on Nov 5, there is a pre-lottery that is currently going on (10/29 - 10/31). My friend entered me, but I was thinking about your situation when he gave me the update today. I was thinking of having him enter another ticket for you too, but felt I shouldn't do anything without your approval and Im not sure if you were planning on going to both shows or just one. He was doing me a huge favor so I didn't want to press my luck by complicating the process. Its not necessary to do the lottery and I am positive there will be tickets available on the 5th, and probably even on the day of the concert, but wanted to share the information I have. There's also a drink cover, probably 5-600¥, so you'll want to have some coins with you. My advice would be to not even redeem the drink token since there will be a huge line, and just bypass all the people there and get a better spot near the stage. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to help if I can.
@PASSPO thanks for all the info on their upcoming releases :). I'm interested in the PA-SU-PO dvd's (if they are concerts), too bad they're on sale after I'll have left.
Did anyone happen to save the Shiodome AX video that was on youtube (originally posted on p. 12)? The video went private recently. If anyone saved it though, can you upload it (not necessarily back to YT, but mediafire or something similar), TY.
-
^wow, you have a channel to buy it online? I supposed that you are buying the ticket on the day of the concert too.....I have interest to join you, but i even don't know how to give you money, so i decided to buy it on my own way(get the ticket on the day of the concert)
ps. sorry for late reply!

@pigmin0239 - I've always wanted to see what the takeoff website looks like! That Sako drawing is cute!
@qwiksXnd - It's my pleasure :D and I love how you always post concert information here. :D
Just a reminder that today is October 31st (Happy Halloween to anyone who celebrates!) and it's the pre-order deadline for the PASSPO 2012 calendar and Visual/Character books!

^ I saw that too. TIF 2011 footage!
Hi pigmin, I'll try to help out if I can. Let me know which concerts you were planning to attend: 13:00, 18:00, or both. Also let me know your budget because the tickets will cost more than face value, unfortunately with taxes and service charges it's impossible to buy tickets for just 3,000Y (you can pm the max you are willing to spend for tickets). I can't guarantee anything unfortunately, but when I get an update on my tickets on 11/2 I'll ask if he is able to buy additional tickets. If he is, I am willing to buy and pay for the tickets for you, and you could pay me back at Blitz. If I am not able to though, there are other options. I think buying a ticket the day of the event should be avoided if possible.
For concerts that don't have assigned seating, when you buy a ticket it will have a number on it. The earlier you buy the ticket the lower the number. If you buy the ticket the day of the event you will have a number that is pretty high, and since they let people in based on ticket number, you could be waiting a while until you get in.
I mentioned a few months ago that I used http://www.fdjp.com/ (http://www.fdjp.com/) , which is a service that can buy any concert ticket in advance. Their commission is 25%, but based on my experience, once all misc fees are added you'll probably pay around 36-40%. Once they receive your payment by paypal they'll buy the ticket and send it to your hotel so it's waiting when you check-in. They have a minimum commission charge of 2,500Y.
If that option seems too expensive or risky, you could buy your tickets when you arrive in Japan (which I am assuming will be several days before the concert). A lot of hotels have concierges or ticket/tour offices. Ask them to help you buy a ticket through e+ (the ticketing service PASSPO is using for this concert) and once you reserve the ticket, you can pay for it at a convenience store and they'll print the ticket there.

[Attention please]
TIF 2011 is out finally!

p.s. qwiksXnd, please check your inbox ;)

Okay, I've been a bit slow on the uptake here but can someone please explain DEPARTURE to me?
-
^ DEPARTURE was the last single released before they made their major debut. It has Yume Passport, Sakura Iro and Let It Go!! in it. It's not really an important single since the songs are already on the TAKE OFF album which they released a week before it.
I added some more information for the LE B - DVD version of their upcoming major album 'CHECK-IN' at: http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-check-in/ (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-check-in/) including a link to qwiksXnd's fan account! :D
I pre-ordered LE A last night and can't wait! I really want LE B too for the DVD of their concert since I've never seen a full 'proper' concert of theirs (Ustream doesn't count muahahaha) even though the concert on the DVD is just a digest. Still good enough for me! I hope the camera work is great. :D I just hope someone will upload the concert to youtube or something lol. D:
-
I am super sorry for posting this in a separate post instead of editing it into my previous one but I need to bump up the PASSPO thread because MAJOR NEWS!!!

-
^ Thanks. I always knew about it but thought DEPARTURE was an actual song. :nervous
Thank you for all the info. The covers look nothing short of amazing. Seriously amazing. Just the outfits, the colours everything. And I'm loving the huuuuge tracklist! :wub: I think the RE is by fan the best cover. It looks gr9 and I'm glad it's in an airport!
EDIT: The DVD contents is great! I hope they feature pre-dia on it. I've been getting into them so so so much lately.
EDIT 2: Not my picture, but a this is where in Kansai International they shot the covers. Kansai Airport (http://www.flickr.com/photos/toddalperovitz/1547554643/#)

On November 26th PASSPO will be performing at 'アイドル横丁祭!!' along with pre-dia, TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE, Afilia Saga East, Dorothy Little Happy, Vanilla Beans, YGA, LinQ and iDOL Street! More information here: http://tower.jp/article/news/2011/11/02/n08 (http://tower.jp/article/news/2011/11/02/n08)

Sounds good

PASSPO news is exciting.™
I really want LE B too for the DVD of their concert since I've never seen a full 'proper' concert of theirs (Ustream doesn't count muahahaha) even though the concert on the DVD is just a digest. Still good enough for me! I hope the camera work is great. :D I just hope someone will upload the concert to youtube or something lol. D:
I feel the same way, I want a full concert dvd. I would turn off all the lights in my apartment and take out my glowsticks to get the full effect (*kidding* I wouldn't do that). Although I get kind of bored when I watch concert dvd's or LODs of the other groups I like, I would watch every PASSPO flight if they were available somewhere (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif) Like if all 224 flights (just made up that number) were available at the local library, every week I would head on down and check a new one out, and the librarian would be expecting me and scream, "We just received the latest PASSPO Flight! I reserved it just for you!" and I would reply "Thanks Ms. Librarian person!".
I think the only flight they're officially released on dvd was this one at Matsumoto Airport:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_matsumotoairport.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=matsumotoairport.jpg)
It was part of the DVD COMPLETE BOX.
...........what's in her mouth? :lol:
I think it's tissue. Every now and then "Weird Makoto" shows up on her blog.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-4-2.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-4-2.jpg)
Personally I prefer "Evil Mako":
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-4-25b.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-4-25b.jpg)
-
^ LOL evil Makoto. XD Cute library story! :) I would watch every PASSPO concert all the time if they were available. I wish they did film and release all their flights.. or at least do more USTREAM shows. I miss those. :(
I can't wait for scans from Makoto's photobook!

^ Thank you
The covers look even better in large. The RE is still my fav though. I won't be getting the FP poster, I have no where to put it up anyway. But I will be buying all the versions next month <3. I would have bought the album by now but I got the calendar instead. ^^ Hopefully it goes through. Anyone else ordered the calendar?
-
^ The regular version's cover is my favourite too but I'm getting LE A for the photobook. I'm not getting the calendar but I do want to get the visual/character books (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/) (especially the character one) but I don't think I can since they're both expensive and I can't order anything else at the moment. :cry:

They're also in her photobook. I know it's weird but like it. :lol: There are complaints on Amazon JP's review section saying her photobook is artsy instead of being sexy like typical idol gravure photobooks. >_>

I think it's a 8 pages B2 size "poster", it's not already a ISO9001 standard? XD I have no idea about the extra photo, but due to the preview of the cover, it said there will include a "Bonus Cut", but i don't know what is that, sorry!
ps. Happy B'day to Saco!

Hi guys, been a passpo fan for few months only, but this my first post here... XD
Anyways, just a question ; How do you buy tickets for Passpo Concerts? Do you have to be a fan club member or something? Or can just buy directy ? And how easy is it to buy them ?
I'm into H!P and AKB as well, and for H!P, sometimes i can just buy the concert tickets 2nd hand from 2nd hand ticket shop such as Gorakudoh, but im not sure how Passpo system works here.
I am planning my next Japan Trip on March 2012 (yea still kinda long, i know), but i want to prepare beforehand just in case ^^
Also, i have made my own Passpo Fan site/blog right here, do check it out! Still nothing much though~ lol...anyone wanna contribute?
http://www.passpofan.com (http://www.passpofan.com)
Another thing, i'm thinking about making a Passpo Forum on my server, what do you guys think ? I just scare if i make it, nobody wants to post lol...as you know Passpo fanbase isnt that big as AKB or H!P yet lol...
Cheers :twothumbs
-
^ Hmmm stealing my idea? :P I've been planning a huge fan site for months, but funds and skills mean I haven't been able to make it take off.
I have already created a passpo forum actually, just have been too scared to post it here lmao.
http://takeoff.forumotion.co.uk/ (http://takeoff.forumotion.co.uk/)
It already has a lot of content on it anyway. We should post there (all of us) and you and me inferz0 can talk about collaborating? I can tell you my ideas. :)

^ Thanks!!
Does anyone have any more information about the limited DVDs?
-
If you're talking about the 'Pa', 'Su' and 'Po' DVDs then they are all image DVDs with no previews nor covers out. The 'Po' version will be sold nationwide at 7/11s and Circle K Sankus' on December 1st while the 'Pa' and 'Su' DVDs will only be sold at PASSPO events. The retail price for the 'Po' one (and I'm guessing it's the same price for the other two) is 1,980 yen.
-
Like, uhmmm solo shot DVDs they often accompany PB releases? If so awesome! I imagine they're a tie in with the new books. I already have someone who is going to pick me up a copy of Po. :D But I want to get hold of the others.
-
I'm guessing they could be since they're described as "image dvds" instead of a dvd where they're doing activities. Do you think you'll be able to rip the dvd and upload it somewhere once you get it? Those dvds, especially 'Pa' and 'Su' are going to be really hard to get. D:
-
No problem! I'll have to log on downstairs because my DVD drive has died though. Also, I'll put it on a track somewhere but it might take a while for some of you to download because my upload speed is terrible. D: haha
I'll let you guys know if I some how manage to get the others too. And help you all out if you can. If anyone else manages to you should let us know. I'm dying to get copies.
-
Added all the info around the shop. http://takeoff.forumotion.co.uk/ (http://takeoff.forumotion.co.uk/) Guess come sign up. talk here. have a more active community! :D I've updated it all. Also, if any of you want to make or suggest forum icons/banner related to the new releases please do! And ANY suggestions about ANYTHING (about the forum) are greatly welcomed. I think I'm gonna add a Pre-Dia section. Anyone interested in that?
-
It's so quiet here. Anyway, all I have to say today is:

Yesterday was PASSPO's two 2nd Anniversary shows! I hope qwiksXnd and pigmin0239 had lots of fun! Unfortunately there was no live stream of both shows which made me really sad because they streamed both of their 1st Anniversary shows last year that I was able to watch. (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/%E3%81%B1%E3%81%99%E3%81%BD%E2%98%86-passpo-1123-1-year-anniversary-show-part-1/)

I hope qwiksXnd and pigmin0239 have been enjoying their time in Japan! I know qwiksXnd also went to pre-dia's show(s?) today which happens to be their 1st Anniversary one! :twothumbs
-
Thanks for all the info! Love the pictures. Is the Calendar out yet/.
Photographed in Okinawa, this is the first time we get to see all the members in swimsuits.
Nope, you forgot the ViViNatsu PV. :)
-
^ The article meant that in a photobook form. :P
-
Well that's just not very clear then is it?
But yeh, about the calendar, YesAsia says it's not released until the 30th. It that wrong?
Also, anyone else seen the 2nd anniversary shirts on the staff blog? They say "2th Anniversary", hahaha.
-
Aww that sucks that they didn't stream the concert. I blame Universal.
I'm still in Japan and my PASSPO 2nd/2th Aniversary and pre-dia 3rd Party recaps should be completed in... 5 months. But they'll be awesome! Jk - they won't be awesome. I'm not really sure what to write... there were so many new songs!, they debuted their Check-In costume! and Kiss=Suki PV!, and of course the NEW MEMBERS!!!
Jk about that last thing, hehe :)
Shiori is *officially* my new favorite :wub: Previously my favorites were 1) Natsumi -> Kaho -> Sako -> Makoto and now Shiori :inlove:
Pigmin hope you got there ok ( the weather was horrible the day of the concert.)
-
^ Awesome stufff!!! And great two shot!!
I glad you two had a good time. Did you not meet?
The book looks great. I cannot wait for mine.
My favourite also changed this week. It's AiPon now. ^^
-
Great photos and I'm glad you both had fun! :D
Sorry to spoil all the happiness right now but there's a RUMOUR that one of the PASSPO girls will leave the group after New Years..
I will keep updated on this from my twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/PasspoRadar/statuses/138712591039074304 (http://twitter.com/#!/PasspoRadar/statuses/138712591039074304)
-
^ I CALL BULL! and I won't put a single bit of stock in it until it's announced. And I can't see it happening. :D
-
^ Why is it that unreasonable that someone would want to leave? I can see various reasons why some girls would want to leave off of the top of my head. It is just a rumour but it's likely that someone could leave at the same time. I hope no one does though.
-
^ I never said it was unreasonable. I basically said it was unlikely. Passpo is such a close family and none of the girls have been showing signs of leaving, so I'm choosing to believe that there won't be such a happening because I simply would give anything for it not to happen.
-
^Sako might be having trouble keeping up with her schoolwork and frequently misses out on things because of it so I could see her leaving. Also I think that you can't always judge things on a superficial level tbh. They love each other but that doesn't mean they are happy being idols.
-
^ I know that. That's the s/mileage scenario when Saki suddenly departed even though they're all best friends. The point is I'm just a very big fan who doesn't wasn't to believe that a member would leave
Or three
A fan in Japan told me that the rumour was three girls were looking to leave, one because she's unhappy about how the group's being run.
-
^I understand. We are all such huge fans of Passpo and none of us want the girls to leave. Passpo is perfect like it is and seeing a member leave would be extremely sad.
You are kind of rubbing me the wrong way a bit to be completely honest. First you call it bull like it couldn't possibly be true and then you pick and choose who to believe. This didn't just come from air you know. It was rted many times on Twitter. It's really disrespectful to act like that. However I guess you could just be hurt and in denial so I'm not mad at you or anything. :)
Also it could be false. :D It's just a rumour at this point.
-
^ Awesome stufff!!! And great two shot!!
I glad you two had a good time. Did you not meet?
The book looks great. I cannot wait for mine.
My favourite also changed this week. It's AiPon now. ^^
Thanks!
No, i didn't meet him, i even don't know any contact info of him..... :doh:
You guys are "DD" :smhid
-
Ahhh you should have. Its a shame. Gald you guys had fun.
Yeh I'm very DD when it comes to passpo. I love them all too much. AiPon will stick for me now though. ^^

I wanted to meet pigmin, but I slacked on the organization of this trip tbh. It would have been really hard because of the rain and not being able to use our phones. My iphone got on softbank's line, but I'm not sure if I would have been able to text pigmin (even if I had his #). There were hundreds of people in the tunnel leading up to Blitz and then hundreds more at the entrance waiting to get in, all during a crazy storm. It was really chaotic. I kind of stood out, but it still would have been hard to organize a rendezvous point without us knowing the place well enough in advance. There was a lot of waiting around, so it's too bad we couldn't chat. I had no idea there would be so much down time during the after show event. Next time I go to their concert if anyone else goes also I'll definitely try to meet up.
I'll probably post my pre-dia recap tonight.
-
^ Aww it's unfortunate you and pigmin weren't able to meet up. At least you both had a great time! :) Also pigmin - I just found your PASSPO show experience thread on baidu. :lol:
PASSPO had a 'Secret Live' yesterday and after the show everyone who attended got both the Visual/Character (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/passpo-official-books-attention-please/) photobooks. They all came signed with one member's autograph and they were handed out randomly. Lucky!

Hi guys I translated the Japan in Motion video where Passpo were in Hiroshima. It's not great but I tried. Click here. (http://passpoparadise.tumblr.com/post/13239222595/aibonaipon-in-passpo-in-hiroshima-with)
-
Is "Passpo Paradise" your website? If so thank you, because I watched the June concert a million times. Youtube was like, "Billy, please stop watching these videos every hour of the day". And I replied, "My name isn't Billy. And I can't stop, won't stop". I also enjoyed the ViVi Natsu review from a while back.

Hey guys, AiPon is in UTB +Vol 5. ^^ http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1034211 (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1034211)

^ That link has previews for all the songs from the album. Basically you download them and they're 45 seconds long. For those who haven't heard Kiss=Suki I love it. <3

°C-ute Your translation is great! :)
Less than 2 weeks until the DVD single and album come out! :cow:
Last night the Kiss=Suki PV premiered on tv, I haven't found an upload for it on youtube yet. Also last night on the Sayumi x Mobekimasu USTREAM show the girls talked about PASSPO. Judging from the tweets I think Saki Nakajima from C-ute was talking about how she's gotten into PASSPO's music recently but I'm not too sure. Usually the shows get uploaded onto their youtube channel so hopefully they'll do that later today.

All the way back on January 14 2011, some of the girls went on niconico and me and °C-ute caught the show. I've uploaded the show in parts onto youtube, callers called in and played a game and won autographed goodies. If you see any English messages then it was either me or °C-ute :nervous

^ Thank you
Hey guys. I'd like to apologise if I've upset or offended anyone recently. I won't let you know what's going on but it's no excuse for the way I've acted recently. I'm really sorry for anything I've said. I'll try and keep the talking in general to a minimum. And I'm sorry for spamming this thread quite often. I guess I got excited to find proper fans to talk to often but despite my tries I think I'm just simply annoying you all. I've tried several things to try and make the Passpo fan community grow, from the forum I created to the FB pages but most people haven't had any interest at all. I've failed in my current attempts and I should let you all who have been trying for longer and being more successful than I, carry on. I didn't mean to tread on anyone's toes and I'm sorry for being a poor fan.
I can't apologise enough. I'm sorry for being so selfish.
To finish here's my favourite picture from the calendar with all credits going to delerium for taking the photo and Passpo and the original photographers (B.L.T.? Though I'm probably wrong again) of course!!
http://twitpic.com/7imysq (http://twitpic.com/7imysq) < Only a link, I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

I really love the calendar. But not gonna lie I'm a little disappointed that instead of a group page the M&Ms got two pages each. I wanted a group page so bad. It doesn't make much sense. :L

OKAY so me and my friend °C-ute have been working on a new PASSPO fansite since my old one (http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/passpo/) was getting too cluttered and it wasn't exactly smart to create it on a place where I also romanize lyrics. :B
INTRODUCING...
http://passpo.wordpress.com/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/) !!!
It's brand new and we've still got a lot to do on there but for now you guys can check out information on all of PASSPO's newest releases as well as all their profile pages. I also translated one blog entry that Kaho wrote yesterday since it was super short and I found it funny. :P
-
Awesome collaboration! I'm really looking forward to the new site. And I have very high expectations (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif)
:)
I'm so hyped for CHECK-IN. I don't know exactly how many days remain until it's release but it's definitely less than 50!
-
^ Very high expectations? Uh oh. :lol:
Exactly 1 more week until CHECK-IN comes out!! YAY! :cow:
In fact, CD Japan put up more of the limited first press bonus posters for LE A and LE B! 10 and 11 left (since I've checked).
Links along with tracklist, song previews, album covers and other details here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/check-in/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/check-in/)
On http://passpo.wordpress.com/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/) I've also translated a few blog entries. They're really bad for the longer entries (Naomi's France ones) so take them as a rough translation. Right now I have 1 Kaho entry, 1 Shiori entry and 3 Naomi entries like Naomi saying she got a boyfriend in Paris (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/2011-07-04-im-home-japan/), Shiori wishing Sako a happy birthday (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/29/2011-11-10-sako-happy-birthday/) and so on. :P
Still have a lot more to do on there as well as pre-dia fansite (http://predia.wordpress.com/)!
-
I've just got to say that recently I heard this group for the first time, and after learning and hearing more I'm totally in love with them. Their music is just too damn good. I listened to their first album in full tonight, so many terrific songs.. The previews for Check In sound amazing as well. And that's not even touching on how amazingly pretty the members are. This group has it all. :inlove: I have a feeling this group is going to be a keeper for me. Big time.
-
^ YAY! More new PASSPO fans. :grin:
CDJapan has some PASSPO stickers up! http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/passpo-stickers/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/30/passpo-stickers/) Cute!
-
^^ Don't forget to vote... (for Shiori!) *kidding*
Are you the Datalanche that also posts at nihongogo? Just curious if a fellow krackhead is on the forum.
^ Thanks for the translations and the pre-dia member updates. I also noticed CDJapan got a few more first press editions.... and I check periodically to see if anyone bought one XD

^^ Don't forget to vote... (for Shiori!) *kidding*
haha I'm still working on finding a favorite. So far I've been leaning towards Aipon just cause she is insanely pretty and she used to work on the Japanese version of Inside Xbox. As an XBox fanboy I rather like that. :lol: I'm still learning though. :)
And yeah, that's me on 'gogo. :)

You go to baidu too? :O
Oops late reply, sorry! I do check baidu sometimes but not often since I can't read Chinese. :(

^Why the PB not include those DVD, even it's a 5 to 10minutes preview or what..... Damn you BLT! :angry:
-
^ I can't agree more, the PBs or posters should have come with making of DVDs.
Hmmm, anyone downloaded the twin sisters app yet?
-
^Any info for the app? I don't even know what is that.... :banghead:
-
Haha, sorry. Didn't post the link because I figured everyone knew. It's been on the market for about 2 months. https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.kmgz_an_passpo_01&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImpwLmNvLmttZ3pfYW5fcGFzc3BvXzAxIl0.

The photoshoot Makoto and Mio did in that app also appears in this magazine: G the Television (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/2011-08-23-g-the-television/). More information on that magazine and a video with photos in that app in the link.

PASSPO performed at Tama Plaza today and announced during the live...
Musshu (Kaho) will graduate on 12/30 (that's in 26 days) on the last leg of their ZEPP TOUR.
As I am typing this, their live is STILL going on so this news is very fresh. I'm tweeting more about it on @PassopoRadar (http://twitter.com/PasspoRadar) so be sure to check in case new information comes out and I don't post it here.
This news was SO sudden and me and my friend (@peachgirldb who alerted me) are just stunned. The girls and staff never confirmed nor denied the rumour about 1 member graduating, it was published in the Tokyo Sports newspaper too. Ughh I'm just so sad right now and shocked.. :cry:
I will update this page with more information too: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/announcement-kaho-to-graduate-from-passpo/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/announcement-kaho-to-graduate-from-passpo/)
-
Kaho is one of the Passpo members that first stood out to me- this is a surprise. Hopefully it means she is moving on to some kind of goal or dream. But Passpo will surely miss her talent and enthusiasm.
-
She is such an important member. I'm fortunate that I saw her perform a few times. I'll absolutely miss her.
-
A couple hours have passed and I'm still shocked and utterly sad. :(
My friend translated Kaho's blog entry regarding her graduation here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/2011-12-04-announcement/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/2011-12-04-announcement/)
And I’m truly glad that I was able to meet the most amazing 9 comrades who worked hard with me almost everyday through these 2 years during both the most painful and the happiest times.
I love everyone!!!!!
I’m truly sad that even though I finally found somewhere I belonged, it’s turned out this way. (;_;)
My heart.. :cry:
-
It's really a heartbreaking news :(
-
sad news but surely the injury is worse that expected... shocking this happens right before the album release
-
Oh! Poor her ><
It's such a sad way to finish part of your career...

ぱすぽ☆ LIVE告知 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYP5rNGmcz8#ws)
PASSPO started their 3 day ZEPP Tour yesterday. Yesterday it was in Nagoya, tonight they'll be performing in Osaka and in two days in Tokyo. Their last show in Tokyo is also Musshu's graduation concert. :cry: These 3 days will also be the only time people can buy the first 2 volumes of their image DVDs filmed in Okinawa, there's a limit of 1000 each being sold so I really hope someone uploads them..
-
Kaho graduated from PASSPO. :cry:
-
I really hope there will be a dvd/blu-ray release of the Tokyo concert. It's seems like an obvious thing to do, but they have performed hundreds of concerts and haven't released a single one on dvd, so I'm not sure if that is a realistic expectation.
-
They better. It would make sense. I mean come on. It's a graduation.
Bye bye Kaho ~~
-
kassummy52 posted this back in summer to celebrate Kaho's Birthday......A nice way to remember Kaho during her time with Passpo, and to thank her for all the enthusiasm and sparkle she brought to her fans.
Wishing Kaho san a great and bright future full of love and joy!!! :deco: :cow: :heart:

So some HUGE news about PASSPO was announced a few hours ago on a live stream. I don't want to say anything here because I need to find out all the details but it's huge and a lot of Japanese fans (including me and my friends who aren't J-fans) really shocked and angry.
I'll edit this later on when I am 100% sure on what was said.. Let's just say I am really not liking what UMJ are doing with PASSPO.
-
No, no, no I don't even wanna know DD:
Splitting the group in two?
More graduations?
Auditions? DD:
New song style?
Disbanding?
Destroying the group in general?
Gah! Please tell.
I've been trying to go through twitter but I'm having to use google translate. From what I make out, are they adding new members? Or is that just a rumour that's arrived from this?
:banghead:
-
From https://twitter.com/PasspoRadar so PLEASE leave a link back to that twitter if you take these:
Last night's conference: There are 8 candidates to be PASSPO members. I think they'll have a voting system through tickets in CDs. They want the group to sell 100k and they'll be getting rid of the mileage system that they use that affects the fans who go to their lives. PASSPO will be performing at Nakano Sun Plaza on 3/31 which is their biggest venue yet where they MIGHT announce the new members.
All of the above hasn't been properly confirmed yet and it's all just plans for PASSPO that people from UMJ talked about last night to fans.

-
i think passpo can add one or two members but nothing more... oh and the most important thing i think they need t do is "divide & conquer" what's the point of having 10 girls if they'll go as one to every show and performance??? i say the less important venues they go with half the members so they can rotate and rest better because no doubt at that pace only more injuries will come.

PASSPO's 3rd major single details: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/3rd-single/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/3rd-single/)
There will be 2 versions, the limited will come with a dvd of the music video. The single's title hasn't been released and both versions will come with a voting ticket to choose the new member/s. (http://passpo.wordpress.com/8-candidates-announced-20120109/)
-
Wouldn't that be their 4th single?
-
Kiss=Suki is counted as a DVD single so they're calling this upcoming one the 3rd single.
-
Besides the upcoming 3rd major single (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/3rd-single/) from PASSPO, here's something that's even more exciting...!!
As fans know, there has never been an official release of any PASSPO concerts on DVD. The closest we got was the digest version included in the LE B version of their recent CHECK-IN album (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/11/25/check-in/).
WELL...
PASSPO will be releasing a DVD with special shows from 2011 (and 1 from 2010) on the same day as their upcoming 3rd major single (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/3rd-single/)!!!
I've compiled all the information that is out so far here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/2012-03-07-20102011-concert-dvd/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/2012-03-07-20102011-concert-dvd/)
I AM SO EXCITED. FINALLY! I have waited for something like this for nearly 2 years. :cry: :heart:

I wonder when they will properly reveal the candidates. Although I thought it was funny how predia recently just randomly announced two new members, I kind of prefer not knowing the girls that don't get chosen. It's too bad Makoto doesn't have a twin sister, then they wouldn't need an audition... unless her twin was really evil.
Edit: ^ Thank you. I've been waiting for something like that for 5 years!! And I pre-ordered the Makoto, Shiori, and Kaho versions of their third single :wub:.
-
^ :lol: at the versions you pre-ordered. :p
I thought it was a bit weird to send Sachiko off the day before her birthday but I guess that's one way to make a graduation even more special? :p
I'm not 100% on this since I only saw 1 tweet mentioning it but all 8 candidates have been assigned colours. You guys can find out what colours the girls have been given here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/8-candidates-announced-20120109/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/8-candidates-announced-20120109/)
None of the girls got given any of the greens though but with Kaho gone that makes sense. No one has Sako's colour. :O I thought maybe this means the original PASSPO members are mentors to the girls who have their same colours but nothing has confirmed this theory of mine.
The candidates performed today and yesterday at PASSPO's secret live shows for PAL members only. All the tweets and blog entries I've seen have been calling the girls cute and some have even found their oshi out of them. It must be easy to win over a wota's heart by being a cute girl. :nervous
I'm really excited for both the upcoming single and especially the DVD! :heart: The single was recorded without Kaho so it's the first and probably last time we'll get a 9-membered PASSPO releasing a single. I'm hoping all the girls get at least 1 solo line because I don't want it to be mainly focused on Shiori and Ai. D:
-
I'm glad the fans like the candidates. *Sometimes* the really hardcore fans of a group can be a little drunk on haterade and hater-tots. And I like your theory about the colors.
I think they should let their choreographer Natsumi join the group as a temporary member. Just as a "thank you". If she asked it probably went something like this:
Natsumi: Hey everyone, I happen to know someone who would be perfect for the group!
Makoto: My twin sister?
Natsumi: No, I'm talking about me. Can I audition? My parents said it would be ok.
Aki-G (PASSPO's producer): No. You don't look like Mako-chan at all.
Natsumi: Aww... can I at least record the song as an honorary 10th member?
Aki-G: It's up to Mako-chan.
Makoto: No way, this is my best chance for a solo line!
-
^ I am 100% for her to join PASSPO as the 10th member! She's really close with all the girls and since she's their choreographer, she wouldn't have any problem with the dances. She doesn't look 'old' at all either. We must tell UMJ this somehow. XD
Now that more information is out..
PASSPO's next single:

More details about this single will be updated here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/gachi-koi/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/gachi-koi/)
Same day release is the 2010~2011 concerts + MV compilation DVD: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/20102011-concert-dvd/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/01/15/20102011-concert-dvd/)
Too many things to copy and paste but there's a lot of stuff included which is great! Just hope the quality of the shows is good.
-
This is all great news. About the DVD, do you know, are they full performances or just digest?
-
Sources didn't mention the concerts being digests (but they haven't said they're full either). If they are full, I wonder how they're fitting everything onto one disc since each show lasts around 45mins+ and that's not including the MVs with the making-ofs.
-
PASSPO will be working at 'Noodol Cafe' which combines noodles and idols. Not sure when and how long for the girls will be working there but the cup ramen and drinks are 800 yen each! http://noodol-cafe.com/ (http://noodol-cafe.com/)

10k for one pic... ... ... oh Japan and his crazy fans
i was thinking the other day that maybe they'll just troll everyon ewith the new members tale and start a new group with the 8 selected lolololol i don't think Passpo staff is desperate for adding new members but for some reason when the group is the most estable and in his best moment is the time fro graduations, new members or solo acts... anyways maybe they'll add 2 new members and start promoting the group in blocks of 5 each :V
-
If I had the money I'd buy it.......

I know some fans including myself think that too. UMJ are putting a lot into the 8 girls so it would be a real waste if only 1 girl gets added into PASSPO. I think they'll either add 1 of the new girls into the group and form a new group with the rest, or not add any new members and create a new group with the 8. I hope they really will make a new group with the 8 girls because they have grown on me. :wub:
-
Official profiles for the 8 candidates are out: http://passpo.wordpress.com/8-candidates-announced-20120109/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/8-candidates-announced-20120109/)
I've updated the girls' photos as well as translated their profiles.
I'm leaving to the airport in about half an hour and I won't be updating for a month. I'll be listening to PASSPO songs (in my head) when I'm at the airport. :grin:
Also the cheerleading movie with a bunch of idols with girls from PASSPO, Kikkawa Yuu, Hayami Akari, Canary Club, THE Possible and Up Up Girls comes out on DVD today: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/2012-01-18-cheerfu11y/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/2012-01-18-cheerfu11y/) Summary of the movie plot with the girls' characters here.
-
This is all great news. About the DVD, do you know, are they full performances or just digest?
According to the neowing.co.jp (http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=UPBH-1302), It's seems it definitely NOT a live DVD, i think it could be a doucumentary or something like that....

^ Oh, that sounds much more interesting!!!

Also the title for the single is "Kimi wa Boku wo Sukininaru" (as on the banners) Not Gachi Koi, which is a pain in the ass because I'll never remember this title now. ^^;

^ Yay, welcome back :)
... and has anyone noticed the OP is kind of broken. I think the images were hotlinked from the old PASSPO website. Not a big deal, but I keep forgetting which member is which.
edit:
Sorry rurika9, I felt bad for writing that and was considering deleting it. I haven't been on the forum in a while and it's just something I noticed :thumbup.

I'm starting to finally discover the awesomeness of Anna (it only took a year and a half). I think it's because she's been wearing glasses more often lately (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/nerd.gif). And I love how she said, "Light blue and black". Naomin was going to hand her the script, but Anna was like, "Girl, I can memorize four words!" (Natsumi couldn't though :) ).

Lol, it's been a while since "Weird Makoto" made an appearance.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_11-1-23b.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=11-1-23b.jpg)
^ "Weird Makoto"
About their first two days: Idol group sales always fluctuate up and down during the week. Remember CHECK-IN, it went 11 -> 15 -> 18 -> 20 -> 23 and then disappeared. Ok that was a bad example :(.
It has been more than 6 months since their last single though, so maybe some of their fans just didn't realize they released a new single. Other groups have also gotten much more popular since then. PASSPO was the "it" group last year, and now it's Super Girls.
-
Anyone going to their event tomorrow and on the 12th ? I am going alone, kinda clueless on what to do except bringing my still sealed CDs...
-
Cool, hope you have fun. It's kind of a weird experience going to an event by yourself, but I think you'll notice that a lot of people at events are actually alone also (it's usually the concerts where friends go together). I would recommend getting to the venue as early as possible, especially if it's during the weekends when trains don't run as frequently and may not stop at the station you need to get off at.
Are you going to the March 31st concert? I was really considering going to that concert, but I'm going to just try for something in the summer.
Edit:
Day 3
#7
Analysis: PASSPO fans reacted very favorably to Weird Makoto's return.
-
Thanks there ! Nah, unfortunately I'll be leaving Japan next week :(
Yeah, I'll try my best to make my way there, thanks again !
-
Due to the rain, the live was canceled but the girls still did a handshake event. I hope you had fun Decreez!
I'm amazed that the single rose by 10 places. Amazed in a good way of course. :P
-
It was my first time seeing a lot of the members, so yeah it was great !
The rain and wind were crazy though :P
Next stop, tomorrow's live and handshake XD

Oricon weekly sales ranking for PASSPO's new single: #17 with 11,205 copies sold.
From 2ch, a comparison between the first week sales of this single and ViVi Natsu (their previous single):
(http://i.imgur.com/2qFnj.jpg)
-
That's shocking. That's YGA and Fudanjuku level. Maybe the single will sell more over time leading up to their concert at the end of the month... but I don't think there is any reason to believe that.
For random reasons I'm not really conscious of, I wasn't interested in this single... even before I watched the horrible PV that made no sense (I still don't get why they're running away from Naomin, Yukki, and Natsumi. Why are they making fun of the least popular members? And most importantly why does Naomin run like an old lady?). I ended up buying just the normal "ugly cover" edition ... because it came with a poster and I've been conditioned to buy most things PASSPO-related.
Without sounding emo, I think a lot of the PASSPO "magic" is gone. I noticed this at the November concert, everyone was subdued compared to the July concert. The fans were acting like rabid psychopaths at the July concert, but like brain-dead zombies at the November concert. When CHECK-IN came out a month later and sold horribly, it just confirmed that something was up with the fanbase. Albums sell less than singles, but CHECK-IN should have sold way more than it did. The album was amazing and barely sold more than Idoling's last album.
One of the reasons I think they've dropped in popularity:
With the exception of Anna... none of the members have improved since they joined Universal. Out of the "talented" members, only Anna has leveled-up. The shy ones are still as shy as they've been since day one (Why is it that almost two years after their debut the only members that talk during their MCs are Morishi, Anna, and Sako? Kaho used to be in this category, but no one took over for her. And the two most popular members are practically invisible at their concerts).
I think there are other reasons (related to their management), but I'll keep that rant to myself.
Fortunately Misa is going to be their miracle member.
-
It really makes me sad and I feel bad for the girls too since they must be blaming themselves for these sales, but they've been working so hard. They've been holding lives and other mini events along with working at CD stores the past week to promote the single.. I know a lot of Japanese fans have lost interest or stopped being obsessed with PASSPO with Kaho's graduation and the shock announcement of these 8 new girls we know nothing about (at least back then). A few Japanese wota I follow no longer tweet or blog about PASSPO anymore too. :(
In other PASSPO news..
Tomorrow a 300 limited DVD will go on sale. More details here: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/passpo-dvd/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/passpo-dvd/)
(http://passpo.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/1330406621181_imgbig.jpg)
300 limited copies! This is outrageous. This cannot be beneficial to the group or fans at all! They also made those two 1,000 limited DVDs at their Zepp Tour. Why put a limit on these DVDs? If they were widely distributed, many fans and not just from Japan would be buying them which is not a bad thing.

PASSPO + bikinis
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/th_mmsdonotwant.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v387/qwiksXnd/?action=view¤t=mmsdonotwant.jpg)
I really think their management messed up their image. The ViVi Natsu PV, the three image videos, all the pervy gravure stuff Makoto does, their calendar, and the Young Magazine/WP photo shoots are unnecessary. They have a girl fanbase that I doubt is into any of that, and honestly I don't think most guys want PASSPO doing that either. I still remember when they debuted the VN PV and fans were upset that they sold out and did a bikini video. And why does a PASSPO documentary have to feature them wearing bikinis on the cover? It's like someone is intentionally sabotaging the group.
And I feel bad for the girls too. At the time when they are showing weakness, their two main rival groups are selling a lot more.
PASSPO got popular because they were so different from the other groups. They are a lot less different now. And if Universal keeps trying to make them more mainstream, I think they are going to continue to lose fans.
I'm kind of a broken record when it comes to this, but they need to release a real concert dvd. Super Girls has their second concert dvd out in a few weeks. They've done like 8 concerts, and they already have two dvds. Afilia Saga East released a video of their first concert. Idoling has released every single one of their concerts on dvd. Why can't the best live group release one?
Sorry for lying about not ranting.

This. I think part of AKB48's success is the amount of freebies with each release. Getting free photos encourages collecting, trading and getting to know the group. This results in a stronger fanbase and better sales. In other words, make stuff easily available in large quantities!
In addition, AKB48 sold a mook in 2009 at a cheap price of 1000 yen which really helped their market position. My problem with most of these newer or lesser known idol groups are the high merchandise prices. Afilia Saga's DVDs and PBs are insanely expensive. I understand they have to break even somehow and that it's hard to gain fans, but wallet raping the existing fans isn't the way forward. Selling a lot of something cheap can still result into profit, plus it makes more fans happier and it attracts new fans more easily. No casual/semi-interested J-pop fan is going to buy a 7K DVD.

This. Regardless of who is the best live group, I have never seen a proper Passpo concert and would love to have a proper DVD release.
I don't mind Passpo in bikinis, I have no problem with this lol
This. OK, some of them are better suited for it then others, but I really enjoyed watching their 'Passpo no Po' IV release (despite the wacky editing).
-
lol i think Afilia Saga are the only ones that sell insanely expensive stuff and yet their fanbase is a bit bigger nowadays... with passpo i'm not sure why they aren't selling more but maybe they aren't promoting in the right places? also if they want them to go mainstream then they should promote like AKB with all the girls half naked in magazines but seriously guess japane already have enough gravure units out there... anyways it' time for them to release a DVD with their 1st one-man live or anything with proper rockin passpo flying (like what they should have do with graduation... just saying)
do you think all this silly videos in youtube will help at leaast a bit?
-
Differences in opinion and perspective is to be expected between hardcore and casual fans. When a groups first single sells 43,000 and their second sells 43,000, and their third sells 11,000, it's reflective of a significant change in the hardcore fanbase.
do you think all this silly videos in youtube will help at leaast a bit?
I think they should put a little more thought into what they are doing. The videos are so random and make them look like an after-school club just messing around (while in reality they are extremely hard working). There's nothing wrong with them looking like dorks, but they should balance it with content that shows other aspects of their personalities. In comparison, I think Predia's channel has much more interesting content (rehearsal videos, concert promos, new song previews, Akane and Rumina singing random songs, choreography lessons, etc).
-
From the For What It's Worth Department:
Passpo has seemed to lose a little of the big Mo' (momentum) but spring and summer is coming up and concert season can rev up the fan base as well as attract new fans.
There was a time when Momoiro Clover released a PV that really pissed off a lot of fans- they were licking ice cream cones, suggesting far less innocent themes, and fan reaction was "this is creeping me out".............Momoclo has since rebounded with some fantastic PV's and lives and are picking up a lot of momentum lately.
Passpo has got a lot of skill, and a unique concept, so the seeds of future (further) success are there. Not sure if any group for a long time will approach the saturation level that the AKB48 has reached, but not quite reaching that point doesn't mean other groups can't have success in their own right. (and being wildly popular does not make AKB48 a bad group)
Looking forward to the continued growth and success for Passpo, as it is indeed a group of hardworking, beautiful, and talented members!

3/31 Nakano Sun Plaza Announcement:
There will be NO new members!!
Translated from http://twitter.com/moe_pink/status/186018975698780160 (http://twitter.com/moe_pink/status/186018975698780160)
"Aipon: I think our efforts as 9 members since Musshu left have been acknowledged, so I'm happy. It's because the candidates were there that we were able to grow and will be able to work even harder as 9."
At the encore:
* PASSPO performed a new song called 'Popstar?'
* Ai played the piano to 'Sakura Iro'. While they sang, cherry blossom petals fell onto the stage.
-
When I found out that there were going to be no new members, I was relieved...
But in a way, I kinda wish a new girl had come along, too xD
first time posting on this thread, hi!
-
I hope the girls weren't humiliated like the Morning Musume candidates from that failed audition.
I'm really surprised Misa wasn't chosen, didn't someone say she was a lock? I honestly thought she was the "chosen one" who would bring balance back to the force group.
-
no new members... i kinda feel like the whole candidates and voting stuff was just to put more pressure to the girls and not sure why because they surely try hard all the time... and i thought tsunku was the only one allowed to troll this kind of process lol
-
Last month I wrote an entry in my cheesy PASSPO blog about the candidates: "After watching their debut performance, I actually thought of the infamous Morning Musume audition – the one where none of the finalists were chosen."
I didn't really think it would happen though, just because that can look really messed up and backfire on a group. I wonder if this means the candidates are going to be released from the agency. It seems like it would be an awkward relationship now. "Sorry you didn't make the group, but you can still work at Noodol Cafe". The only way it would have worked out is if it was announced that although none of the girls would join PASSPO, they would form a new group instead (this idea has been suggested before, I'm just repeating it as a possibility). It doesn't seem like that happened though... but if it did I'll just edit all of this out, hehe.
Ai's tweet is interesting because it seems that she is admitting that management gave them an ultimatum to prove the group can exist as a 9 member unit, although they were going to proceed with an audition. If that was the case, the "audition" should have been behind the scenes. From day one they made it clear that the vote wouldn't be the final say in which girl/girls would join, but I think it was obvious fans were supposed to believe that at least one would join. The audition and fan voting seems a lot more disingenuous now.
-
mmmm i was thinking a bit more about it and certainly i agree with the ones that say it wasn't time for new members but maybe the reason i was dissapointed that no one joined the group is because they forced the fans to buy the release in order to vote, then that vote have a cost and if nothing happens then it feels ankward... so yeah i agree with @qwiks that this should have been behind the scenes because if you remember those failed momusu auditions it forced to keep the search until koharu appeared but in this case is more like oh well no one joins, thanks for nothing.
-
Is my phone messed up or are there a bunch of He-Man videos in this thread... or is this like a pre-April Fools thing. Hmm, I wonder if the election was an April Fools joke.
I think once they decided on the cd ballot, they forced themselves to choose at least one member. Anyone who bought multiple copies of PASSPO's last single is going to feel burned. Although based on their sales, I don't think anyone did *zing*
I don't really know if this will damage the group, but I think distributing free ballots to fans at their concerts and events would have been a better way to go about it, regardless of whether they chose anyone or not.
Ok, I'm done ranting XD. *watches the He-Man video new SUPER GiRLS concert*

Hi there! :)
The girls were at Shibuya station yesterday and were doing a campaign against perverts/molesters on trains, they were handing out flyers and tissues. I've been looking for an article online about it but the only place I've found with information is that video and the photos from their blogs. :( I wish it was reported since it's a great cause.
-
^
Yeah, I hope some media will report it soon.
This Shoujo Hikou the making
Passpo - Shoujo Hikou - The Making Of (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-hB1L3As_Y#ws)

Thanks for your photos and fan account! :D Also thank you eyeless for uploading parts of PASSPO's dvd! I would do that too but I don't have a program that rips them.. Can I ask what program you use?
I ordered First Wing the other day and I can't wait to get it, I'm also excited to see whose photo card I will get.
Plus it's Naomi's 20th birthday today! :heart:

Thanks for your photos and fan account! :D Also thank you eyeless for uploading parts of PASSPO's dvd! I would do that too but I don't have a program that rips them.. Can I ask what program you use?
1st, I ripped the DVD into iso with DVDfab, then from the iso, I encoded each video with handbrake into mp4 ( or anything you like )
I would prefer something open source but right now DVDfab is the one which works :)
and Happy Birthday Naomin!! :sejinemo:

PASSPO's 4th single 'Next Flight'!
Details: http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/)
The information just came out today, I'm translating and compiling as much as I can so I will be updating the page a lot. If you want to share the information please link the page!
-
^
I wish they'll release 10+ versions just like Shoujo Hikou or Vivi natsu. But I guess not.
It's gonna be tough to rank in Oricon with only 3 versions :huhuh
-
When they released multiple versions of a single, I only ever got 1 version but this time I want all 3. Ahh. :nervous
I am pretty sure the famous musician will be Marty Friedman, but the person hasn't been named yet. It makes sense for it to be Marty though, he loves idols and has worked with MomoClo Z and BABYMETAL in recent times.
-
^
I'm a big fan of Marty Friedman when he's still in Megadeth :nervous
And I saw him at AKB48 streaming event as well recenty, so yeah, he likes idols :lol:
-
Marty friedman and passpo? That's what i'd like to see XD And yay for new single!
Now that you mention it...they only have 3 versions last single instead of 10 compared to Shoujo Hikou/Vivi Natsu...maybe thats why the last single they're doing very bad?
But yah most of the time i only order 1 single...more than enough for me. Im not really the type of guy who would spend money on multiple singles; i rather save the money, next time go japan use it to see their concerts and buy goods :oops:
-
^
Obviously yes, and Kimi wa single only have 2 versions.
I'm not sure why they stopped each member versions like their 1st 2 singles. Since it's actually a good idea to make them being noticed as a rookie group.
Beside, I think their 3rd single title is too long :nervous
-
lol...long title name doesnt have to do with anything... :P
Another one i ripped from the Zepp Tokyo tour, "See You Again", im not a Kaho fan, but i must admit i shed a tear while watching this lol...very emotional.

^ I've been waiting 3 weeks to post this. XD This is PASSPO's movie 'High Tension' which was screened fora limit time last summer, it was scheduled to be released on DVD twice but got canceled both times. For the past three weeks, it has aired on tv once a week in 3 parts.
In order:

So, it's final yes? I heard about this High Tension before, so this is it.
I guess no one will sub this, if anyone can translate it, I can do the timing since I use to sub Acchan's video.
-
^ Yup it's the final part. :) If you watch the movie, it is REALLY REALLY random with many strange and funny moments. :lol: I'm unable to translate though, sorry. :( It would be really great if we can find someone to help translate it because I would love to see a subbed PASSPO video.
-
^
Well, all I have to do is to make some Japanese speaker to get into PASSPO :nervous
I already saw all episodes, and yes, it's random to the max :lol:
The show is so lame it's entertaining :cow:
-
so the drama ended at eps 3?
yup this drama was so random to the max lol
this drama also meaningless and just for fun but after all like this the most :thumbsup :thumbsup

A low quality digest video from a flight, ranking PASSPO's best 5 rare songs:
ぱすぽ☆輝け!レア曲ベスト5ダイジェスト (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzcOhb2-iNo#ws)
5. Hallelujah
4. Muteki GIRL
3. Hareru yo
2. See You Again
1. Hakana
Weird how they consider 3 new songs as rare ones :p I wish they put Sakura Iro as #1.
-
That's interesting that they did that, although it doesn't seem very accurate. It's kind of strange that they would talk about their rare songs, but then leave out the #1 most obvious rare song. It's like they are trolling Sakura Iro. Sakura Iro is so rare they forgot it exists.
I agree with Hallelujah though. Natsu Sora Dash was the b-side, but it became way more popular. I like Hallelujah though, I kind of wish they would retire Let it Go. And also Shojou Hiko, because d-lugging is too dangerous. I don't think Hareru yo and See You Again are rare at all. I guess Hakana is rare because that song and Starting Over were the last songs from Check In that their choreographer worked on.
-
^
Sakura Iro is on different level of rare, almost non existence :nervous

PASSPO are currently at the airport in Japan, about to depart to Los Angeles, California!!
No word of how long they will be in USA for or where the location/s will be.
They are going to be in LA to film the pv for their new single Next Flight (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/)!

Nice, thanks for the vid!
What do they mean by "rare" though, means they rarely perform at the concert anymore? :?
If that's true, guess im lucky that time i managed to hear both Hallelujah and Sakura Iro then XD

You were totally lucky :). I was surprised when I saw the song list at your blog. They don't perform it often. For instance at last years Tokyo Idol Festival, they performed 5 different times over the 2 days and never did Sakura Iro. I've never seen them perform it live either. Since they pair up during the song, was Aipon by herself?
@ PASSPO, I love the new gifs at your tumblr, especially the one with Mio doing some sort of rapid-fire punch XD.
-
^ Thanks! XD I've had fun making random ones, I should probably try and keep them all around the same size but oh well. :lol:

PASSPO were/are shooting a music video with Brendan Buckley in LA!
I'm not sure if this is the guy they meant when they say they're working with a "famous musician from a metal band in LA". :?
According to his wikipedia page: Brendan Buckley is currently known for being the drummer in popstar Shakira's band.
-
^
just woke up when I see your tweet (yes I stalk you)
But probably that's for the b-side? Since I still hope a rock song for their next single :rockon:
-
^ Morishi blogged that they filmed the PV for 'Next Flight' so I guess he is the musician. She said it's going to be really cool and can't wait for us to see it and hear the song so that's boosted my excitement up. :)
Anna's LA fashion, I love her hat! :P

Cant wait to hear the new single....ah.......hopefully they release the pv soon :thumbsup

I really don't think he should have tweeted the photo but since it's out on the web now..

PASSPO's new outfit for Next Flight (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/) as well as the set! WOW look at all those planes..
The outfits remind me of their Kiss=Suki ones except this time they're pink. :P
-
I really don't think he should have tweeted the photo but since it's out on the web now..
Why not? I think its nice to him to post the photo haha.
Plus i think passpo is not really strict with "no photography with random people" rule unlike akb...somemore this one is staff member ba....let them share all they want XD. Also, that time in jap i saw alot fans taking pix of them doing rehearsal using DSRL like its normal lol. And the First Wing photobook also got photos of them with some France fans at the airport during their Paris trip. I think they're much closer to the fans, thats why i like them :D
The outift though....good color, but looks abit normal to me. My favorite passpo outfit is still Vivi Natsu outfit haha. :P
-
Anna's hat XD. When she bought it she probably asked "Do you have this hat in purple?".
Yesterday they went to Venice Beach, which is one of the the most ghetto beaches in California. The beach is extremely popular with tourists though because of it's notoriety. I was kind of hoping they wouldn't go there, because even though it's an "interesting" experience, overall I think it gives a negative impression of L.A. I guess every country has areas that are really popular with tourists, but the locals avoid.
-
this one appeared in my tumblr... Annya is such a dive :D

-
^ Anna is so gorgeous. :wub:
@infzer0: It's a pretty huge spoiler for the PV since it shows the girls' new outfits as well as a major part of the set. :nervous Plus he tweeted it the same day it was filmed and the single won't be out until June.
PASSPO are having their last dinner in LA right now. I wish they could have stayed longer. :(
-
^
ah i see...hopefully we dont have to wait that long for the pv though :D
this one appeared in my tumblr... Annya is such a dive :D

Tell me more about the Passpo Festival
A few details from the schedule at their website:
PASSPO Fes @ Hihiya Outdoor Music Hall
When: Sunday, Jul 8, 2012
There are two shows: 13:00 and 17:30. There will also be a handshake event, probably after each part.
Tickets are included with the dvd version of their next single "Next Flight". More info:
http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/)
Tokyo Idol Festival lineup was just announced and is on August 4-5, so kind of makes me rethink going in July. I think you went to TIF last year right?
edit: just thinking about PASSPO's festival, wouldn't it be cool if after the concert, each girl operated her own booth (like the type you'd see at a real Japanese festival). Each girl would design their own booth and set up their shop at different areas of the venue. Morishi could operate one of those cliche goldfish booths (since her color is yellow), Mio could do a caricature booth (although I don't know if they do those in Japan), Makoto (or Sako) could have a takoyaki booth and call them Makoyaki (or Sakoyaki) or they could both have one and pretend they're rivals, Natsumi could sell PASSPO ice cream, and since Aipon and Yukki are the leaders, they could sell PASSPO merchandise. Anna is too cool to set up a booth though.

Dammit i really want to go to the Tokyo Idol Festival...but i also want to go for the Passpo Fes....
Most likely i can't attend both though :banghead: :banghead:

ぱすぽ☆ - Next Flight (Short Ver.) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBgB-ftE0es#)
:wub:
I've been busy lately so I haven't had time to post on the forum a lot, but I've gathered and translated a whole lot of information on the new single here:
http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/ (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/next-flight/)

^It seems a amazing PV, FIRST CLASS! :cow:
-
Economy class for me! That's where all the cool kids sit 8).
I love the song so far! Morishi :wub:
-
I'm all for rock and all for pretty girls in cute costumes, but somehow this song hasn't really grabbed me yet.
Maybe after some more plays and listening to the full version. All the key elements are definitely there, they look great.
What do you guys think about the musicians line-up?
They're all well established musicians, but imo they lack a bit of appeal. They're all good, that's not the problem, but most of them are either session players or members from ancient bands. From Passpo's perspective it may have been more beneficial to collaborate with more popular/younger musicians? I mean, I doubt Cinderella fans are going to care about Passpo. It won't give them an extra push in the western market. But maybe that wasn't the idea behind this at all, I'm just speculating here. Just thought the choice of musicians was a bit odd.
-
i know no one of the backup band members... i read one works with shakira? i was like wtf shakira have her own band? lol... song sounds nice but can't decide how nice until a full listen
-
Hmm... I don't really have an opinion about the musicians they collaborated with since I don't listen to "metal" and I'm not familiar with those bands. I guess I would have preferred they work with L.A. punk groups, since they are more relevant to me. But this is all meant to appeal to their Japanese fans. It's definitely not about the western market, because there isn't a western market for PASSPO. They didn't have to go to L.A. I'm sure there is an airplane graveyard in Japan they could have filmed at, and plenty of Japanese rock musicians they could have worked with, but that wasn't the image they were going for. If they had more resources or time I'm sure they could have gotten a better lineup, since I do feel a lot of American rock groups are fascinated by Japanese pop culture, but Universal Japan either didn't have connections to them, or they already knew who they could work with.
I'm just glad they rebounded from Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni naru. Next Flight is a massive improvement over their last single.
-
If there's one thing I love as much as Japanese pop music, it's classic American rock music. Maybe that's why I've consistently enjoyed Passpo so damn much. They definitely have an American-esque rock sound to most of their music. It's evident their producers care about how the instrumentals sound. I think this is something that takes a backburner in the idol realm some of, if not a lot of the time.
However, this... wow. Instantly recognizable names for me working with an idol group I already love. I don't think it's a stretch for me to say this is probably one of my favorite J-Pop song in a long time, and that's just going off the preview. I'm totally smitten, definitely buying.
-
I think it's better that they used older [ex-]band musicians from well known groups (Guns N' Roses, Cinderella) than current ones. After their anniversary shows on Sunday, there were a lot of tweets and blog entries regarding the musicians. A lot of the ones I read were speculations on who the musicians that collaborated on this single were (this is before staff announced who). A lot of people were saying Guns N' Roses and were sure Slash would be one of them, as well as other bands including.. Cinderella!
Once the band members were announced, there was one blog entry that really caught my eye. A man born in the 70s blogged about how he really loves the new song/PV and how it brings him back to his youthful days. He said how he remembers when he was a teenager that worked a bunch of part-time jobs just to save up money to buy the latest American metal and rock CDs. That really made me smile because I'm sure he's not the only person who remembers their younger days listening to these bands after finding about PASSPO's new single.
(I'm really not good with words so the past two paragraphs probably don't make as much sense as they do in my head :nervous)
This single is definitely a step up from their last one, which I thought of as a 'throwaway single' anyway. The purpose of their last single was really to get people to vote for girls - Which didn't work out the way management wanted. Fans don't want new members (unless Kaho comes back). They love PASSPO as they are and they showed this by not buying as many copies of their last single, as much as that hurts for the girls.
I think they will be releasing two other singles this year where they fly to other countries for "metal" themed tunes with other metal/rock musicians. I really want them to go to Finland/Norway/Sweden/Germany, but I don't know how likely that would be. They'll probably go to England at least.
What I find funny is how the band members in their PV are not the musicians who recorded for this single, lol. :P

I can say this is definitely the case for me. I couldn't have cared less about voting unless there was an option for "keep as-is". Passpo is fine just the way it is. :)

Interesting, so PASSPO x Iron Maiden is a possibility. Hopefully they don't ignore Iceland. Everyone does though. It's always, "We'll go to Iceland next year".
-
All these talks about Next Flight are interesting. I myself grew up with American heavy metal music. And seriously, the song reminds me a lot to the old time, even better, instead of the band members wearing makeup and looks like a girls, here we get real cute dancing girls. Just perfect.
I'm curious, who's actually the man behind Passpo's concept.

don't get me wrong, I am excited about the new PV......

"I will fly, dareka ni Jesus Child" <-- Please let this be the actual lyrics! Even if it's not, I will continue telling myself it is, just like how in 'ViVi Natsu' I will believe they are really singing " sing song to loving you". :P
I love the song, dance and PV! I'm sad at the lack of Yukimi in all their PVs buuuut I think she will be the star in 'Bathtub', can't wait! :wub:

I caught just a tiny bit of one of those lives. Looks like a lot of fun. Live singing ftw!
The c/w, Bathtub, sounds cool, just like a Cinderella song. PV looks visually appealing, as well! :w00t:

I'm in love with their new song! I hope they do good with sales today~ I also love their outfits :inlove: I'm not a big fan of pink but that pink is ultra cute lol
Anyways, lately I can't stop watching their "Odotte mita" videos on YouTube! I like learning idol dances in general and I always pay extra attention to idol choreographies. Passpo are awesome dancers and it's really enjoyable to watch them dancing! When I had the oportunity to see them at JapanExpo last year it was like they were flying on stage xD! They have a lot of energy!

PV's really cool, song has a great sound to it. Morishi's vocals. :wub:
But I'm really confused by how this is referred to as "punk" rock. This is the softest punk I've ever heard. :lol: Whatever it is, it's good. I really like it.
-
I have to leave it up to the musicians to describe the terms correctly, but the guitar, bass, and drums are playing punk style....
the girls clearly are still singing idol chorus pop..................nice song!

Passpo has an event on 2012-10-08 at Zepp Tokyo called "Passpo☆WINGFes"
Anybody know:
- What kind of event?
- How to enter?
- What time?
- Anything else?
I know where it is:

But I'd appreciate any further details. Thanks :)

"PASSPO" (the forum member), correct me if I'm wrong about anything XD
The limited edition version of Wing includes a free ticket for "Wing Fes". I *think* getting a ticket is as simple as that. Their website and blog currently don't have any more details, but it will include a concert and handshake event. This is the third "Fes", so it should be relatively similar to the previous ones.
The first one, "Next Flight Fes", was at Hibiya Amphitheater, and had a part 1 and part 2, so you would have had to purchase both limited edition versions to attend the full event (each part was a couple hours long and included a concert and handshake event). "Natsuzora Hanabi Fes" was at Yomiuri Land on 8-26 (since it was at an amusement park, there was a special entrance for attendees so you didn't have to buy admission to the park). This event was just one part, and was from 2-6 PM. There was a concert followed by a handshake event. Aipon blogged the setlist http://ameblo.jp/negishiai/day-20120827.html. (http://ameblo.jp/negishiai/day-20120827.html.) I think the concert portion was 45 minutes and included about 10 songs, and their usual MC and "corners".
Someone at another forum actually went to this Fes (not a lot of info provided though)

Their blog will have more information as it gets closer to the event. Are you thinking about going?
-
Thanks for the info! :thumbup
With a bit of luck I'll be in the area around that time, so I'm trying to figure out which groups have events early-mid October.
I wasn't planning on heading to Odaiba again, but this event may be worth it.
It sounds a lot longer and more pro than the average idol group release event.
Plus I wouldn't mind seeing Ai XD

Not sure if this was posted before, but they released a Blu-ray (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=LPBR-1)!
I think this contains those three recent Limited Edition IVs: Pa, Su and Po?
Well over three hours, region free and a reasonable 3900 yen!

Just received my copy of the Blu-Ray from YesAsia, yesterday. So far, I've only watched the first hour but can confirm that it is region free, as it plays with no problems on my player.

I'll be in Nagoya just in time for one of the events. Was thinking of hitting it up. Do you have any idea how strict they are on the ticketing side of things. It seems in the fine print that you will need to bring the invoice and some identification to proove your identity, and you can't bring along friends, so I'm assuming you can't buy copies for other people either. Getting the invoice, if at all, in my name would be difficult when working with deputy services too no.

Oh, are you from the blog supermerlion?
I didn't realize there was an event in Nagoya, but the invoice and identification requirement sound similar to the SUPER☆GiRLS 2-shot event also in November. I've found that staff are usually lenient with foreigners, but if you use a deputy service, maybe you can ask them to include a letter in Japanese explaining you used them as a proxy because the Universal store doesn't ship overseas. I can't imagine if you buy the cd, show the invoice, and your passport that they would deny you access.
http://store.universal-music.co.jp/fs/artist/passpo/d2cj1008 (http://store.universal-music.co.jp/fs/artist/passpo/d2cj1008)
So I guess that would be the edition you would buy. The fine print does sound a little strict though. I think they tweeted that one of their other events allows 2 people to go to an event with one ticket, but that may have been just for the Zepp Tokyo one. Or maybe I'm confusing the tweet with something completely different.
-
Yup. I finally found someone who could order it through my name. Hopefully that works out. Sadly the 2-shot for SG is over now so it's too late to buy any tickets for that, though I'm not sure I would want to pay that much. Gonna go ahead and try going for their normal handshake event instead in November.

In the end I didn't go to WingFest. I was broken from other events the days before and I didn't have energy to go to Odaiba again. At least it's cool they're getting some proper attention. I talked to some random idol fans and they all seemed to know Passpo so that's cool.

I'm so glad we get POCK STAR, Pink Parachute and especially 2DAYS on this album (even though I had a big feeling they'd include them). I wish they got new costumes for this album though since they're just re-using their WING ones. 6 new songs! :)

ok, let me do a little introduction here: I`m new to this Passpo fandom. to tell the truth, a not so long time ago I had no interest at all in them, basically because I thought all this concept of them being flight attendants was pretty stupid. :lol:
but the time has passed, saw them live in some festivals and started jigging to their music, with this rock vein and all. and more important, discovered this beauty called Nachu. she resembles my beloved Sato Natsuki from AKB, so it was love at first sight. :fap oh, and I heard that Uhae song that is freaking addictive.
...
happened that I bought their One World album and... god dammit, it is awesome!!! :bow: the second best idol group album of the year to me (just behind BiS`s Idol is Dead). loved it specially from the eighth track ahead. it`s a shame it`s not selling well (poor marketing?) cuz it`s really good. it`s not so "idolish" but keeps the "essence" if you what I mean. now I only expect that they don`t sell so many merchandise or I`ll go bankrupt with one more group to follow. :lol:
-
:welcome Which live did you see them at?
-
hello! duh my memory is not that good but I saw them twice till now. I`m pretty sure one was at Tokyo Idol Festival, but the other... maybe it was in that Idolnation? I remember seeing them earlier this year, but can`t find in my notes an idol group festival during the first months of this year. :k-crazy:
well, anyway the important one was at TIF, where I got to notice Nachu`s presence (she lost her shoe during a kick movement ROFL) and heard Uhae. :cow:
is someone here going to attend their one-man in december 28th? will be my first experience in one handshaking event of the group and so I`m really anxious. :drool:
-
Cool, I thought maybe you went to one of the three festival concerts they're going to release on dvd. I saw them at TIF too (Smile Garden, the main stage, and then Sky Stage).
I'm thinking about going to predia's Christmas concert on the 24th and SUPER GiRLS concert on the 25th, but I'm not sure about PASSPO's flight. It would already be weird missing my friends and family on Christmas, so I don't want to go overboard. I'm still pricing tickets though. It would be cool if PASSPO does 2-shots after the concert also, but I don't think they've been doing them lately.
-
well, it would be marvelous if they do 2 shots, but I`m happy with whatever they make. don`t even know all the girls` names yet, so I can`t demand things. :nervous actually I only hope they don`t do handshakings in an AKB "fucking ten badly cloked seconds" style. :)

I'm excited, I'm always a sucker for sad love songs - especially sakura themed ones because those kinds of idol singles are always guaranteed to be sad. And I love sappy things that make me sap. :P It'll be interesting to hear how the song sounds considering the musical theme lol..
Also I don't really understand why they felt the need to officially change the name when fans refer to them as "PASSPO" a lot anyway online. Maybe because predia and palet write theirs in English so it makes it 'neater'? I probably explained that badly. :P
PASSPO performed two new songs tonight. 'Sakura Komachi' and 'NO.1 BOY' which might be a b-side?
-
I liked both songs, specially the beside (?) "No.1 Boy" that has a intro that reminds A LOT "Smells Like Teen Spirit". "Sakura komachi" is a great song to perform wotagei. :twothumbs
they sang for the first time live the song "Kimi iro no samba" (if I understood it correctly). I like it a lot, despite being very different from their usual sound. and I like it even more now, since Nachu has a part in it. :heart:
and this leads me to a question: is it my impression or the group really has two "types" of girls, the ones that sing more and the ones that usually only dance (sacochii, nachu, yukii and annya)? I`m asking this because so far I`ve only seen Nachu have solo parts in "kimi iro no samba" and "material girl". it`s hard when you have so few opportunities to shout your oshimen`s name. :(
and another question, to the folks who already participated in handshaking events of the group: do they always limit the number of tickets you can get (today there was a limit of three, no matter how much you spent)?? this sucked hard, specially because if they did like other groups do, I would have received enough tickets to talk with all the girls. :(
-
^^ Thanks for all the info :).
^ Awesome, glad you were able to go. For Tokyo concerts they have a limit of three tickets, for shows further away like in Sapporo or Osaka they will increase the ticket limit to five. I think it depends on how many people they expect at the concert. Unfortunately if they didn't have a ticket limit the events would last a really long time. That would be really hard on some members, like Mako-tee who gets really sleepy after the concert. Their handshake/2 shot events go way past midnight if they schedule one after a night show. My other favorite group SUPER GiRLS doesn't do anything after their concerts (except maybe a high-touch if you buy a certain item), so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me too much. The goods they were selling looked pretty cool though (they were on their blog), I liked the towel, the bracelets, and buttons.
Did you go to predia or palet's free show? Did they open for PASSPO, or did they just have their separate free concert?
-
you know, I don't think that time or getting tired is really a problem since 1- they did the handshaking before the show (what I found strange, generally it's done after...) 2- they had the whole day for it. the schedule was
11 am = goods selling start
2 pm = palet free show
3:30 pm = predia free show
3 ~ 4:30 pm = passpo handshaking (fuck! I wanted to see Predia's live but it was being done in the same moment)
4:30 ~ 6 pm = palet and predia handshaking/sign
so they could very well give the handshaking more time and allow people to have more tickets. :thumbdown: I'll compare with Afilia, that is a group that is doing concerts in similar venues recently. (shibuya kokaido = 2000 people. stellar ball = 1800 people) they never limit the number of tickets you can get, do always at least two activities (like group 2 shot and handshaking) and do it after the concert. yep, it really ends up late, but nothing to really concern about.
the show was awesome, but aside that point, other thing that bugged me was the huge delay (almost half an hour) for it to start, because the staff were really slow to let us enter... (detail: it was raining and we were outside the venue) well, it could have been worst. they could have started without us there. :panic:
well, being optimistic, this limitation will help me spend few money in the next concerts. :roll:
on a side note, I'm starting to feel sorry for Nachu. I'm giving her bad luck, incredible. at TIF she lost her shoe, now she had problems with her mic during "Uhae" and had to run to backstage and return just near the end of it. :(
-
That's too bad about the schedule. Whoever was in charge didn't put a lot of thought into it. They could have moved palet and predia's lives to earlier in the day, or scheduled PASSPO's handshake after their concert (like they normally do), or kept that schedule and moved predia's concert after PASSPOs. Predia is amazing and they could use more fans. Sucks about the rain too. I also had to wait in the rain at PASSPO's Anniversary concert last year. That actually made it more memorable, but I remember thinking how unorganized and inefficient their staff is.
-
you know, for me it's difficult to make comparisons with past shows of the group and so, since I'm a new passenger in the flight... but I can tell about the experiences I had with other groups (raging from AKB to PPP! Pixion) and comparing with them, I gotta say Passpo has one of the worst staff/management I have saw till now. I'm very critic regarding AKB events cuz they make BILLIONS of yens and by doing so they should offer to us, fans, top quality events. Passpo of course is way lower than that level, but is indeed a very well established group with a good amount of followers. they surely make a decent money out of it, so I expected a more well organized show/event. the delay, the schedule... ah! another things that happened and denote poor management: during the handshaking, that was being done in the second floor of the venue, the girls were placed like in the middle of the corridor. it was obviously a waste of space making the lanes of fans wait in the stairs and even outside. just in the middle of the thing they realized it and moved them backwards. of course it caused some stress moving them and all the stuff during the event. another thing: some girls of course have smaller lanes. after some time waiting needlessly outside, they realized the error that was to keep people waiting in a single lane and let us, people that were going to shake hands with Nachu or Yukii enter skipping it. but after that, we could very easily re-enter in one of the other lanes and shake hands with other girls, cutting in front of the poor people still waiting in the greater lane. (I confess that I did it, talking with Morishi without having to wait a single minute :twothumbs)
if we were talking about an obscure group, I wouldn't mind at all with these details, but since its Passpo... :smhid
------
people are already concerned that the group is getting more expensive to follow, since in the WING campaign you could buy a cd for 2500 yens that would come with a ticket for a concert and handshaking event. now, for Sakura komachi, you have to spend 3500 yens for the cd with the concert ticket and 5000 for the special box that comes with the event ticket. the fuck! was Passpo bought by Akimoto and I'm not aware of it? :lol:
and talking about Sakura komachi, the beside is called "wish on a star", according the Universal Music site. so I wonder from where they took the "No.1 Boy" song...
an article with some photos (three) of the concert http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000085984 (http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000085984)

That reminds me of something I wrote last year XD
http://passpogasm.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/passpos-2nd-anniversary-akasaka-blitz-part-3/ (http://passpogasm.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/passpos-2nd-anniversary-akasaka-blitz-part-3/)
Maybe disorganization and waiting around is just part of the PASSPO "experience". Of course we don't want to disuade anyone from going to a concert, it's just good to know what to expect from the event.
-
hey man, first of all let me congratulate for your blog. it`s so profissional comparing to mine. :nervous
so I see that this bad management is not something new... well, of course the show is great and they are super kind personally, but what is wrong... is wrong. :nervous I will not become a hater just because I`ve got my "No Nachu, No life" shirt now. ROFL
to tell the truth, the two big things that bothered me (and look like that they will accompany me) are the event tickets limitation and the strict "flight rules" (no moshing, no diving and so on). this time it was at Kokaido that has seats, so nevermind. but my next flight will be at Stellar Ball that is a standing stage, so I would like to "have some fun". you know, for me it`s really weird to hear songs like "Dear my Friends" without moshing, since I grew hearing punk rock and so. add to that the fact at concerts of other groups like BiS or ShizuKaze & Kizuna we are allowed to do it. :(
as a senpai :D could you tell me if this rule is really applied or it`s just there and people do whatever they want? :bow:

^ Sorry for the late reply. The rules are enforced and it made a big difference. The first concert I went to in July 2011 at Shibuya AX was one of the last concerts they did without any rules (they did two more concerts at Shinjuku Blaze a couple weeks later and then announced the new rules at their staff blog). Incidentally the concert I went to was also Natsumi's birthday concert. When I went back a couple months later in November the rules were in full affect - no more moshing, girls had there own area, and there was a "jumping" area in the back. Totally different experience. PASSPO has a lot of girl fans and the Shibuya AX concert was totally out of control and I imagine a lot of them got injured or just really annoyed at that concert, so I think that is why the changes happened. I think a girl's area would have fixed the problem, but then they also banned moshing on top of that. I didn't go to one of their concerts in 2012 though, so maybe things have changed a litte since. Steller Ball concert is in March right? That would be awesome, what other concerts are going on then?
-
at this moment, I know they have three one-man scheduled in Tokyo: january 26th, february 24th and march 30th (as part of their national tour). the problem is that those first two shows are limited to the fan club members. did they always made this kind of thing? it sucks cuz it limits a lot my chances to see them... have to wait till the end of march...
about the rules... oh man, now I wish I had become a fan earlier. :( If they really made this change thinking in the girl fans... they are pretty stupid, since in pop punk and skacore concerts there are always plenty of girls, plenty of moshing action and I don't remember seeing anyone getting hurt. in fact, that is one major factor why I like moshing in Japan: people seems to enjoy and have more fun than actually "going there to throw some punches" like it's common in the west. I remember back in the old days at my country, if someone falls he is promptly lynched by the mass. while in Japan people stop jumping and help the person to get up.
-
So, I'm back from Japan, well actually been back for a while! Managed to grab the Passpo tickets after all for the live at Nagoya. Much thanks for the help.
The Passo live was pretty amazing. Probably the best concert experience I had this trip. We were allowed to shake hands with one of the members after the concert, chose Makoto. Again, easily one of the best handshake experience ever. Could tell why she was so popular, despite being hidden on the stage for most of the show. Anyways, did a more detailed write-up of the encounter over here. http://supermerlion.com/nagoya-autumn-2012-day-11/ (http://supermerlion.com/nagoya-autumn-2012-day-11/)
-
^^ The fan club complicates things a little. The FC actually used to be a bigger deal when they first started, and over the years they've gradually reduced the amount of FC concerts and perks. Like they no longer do "frequent flyer mileage" (fans used to scan a QR code at the entrance to the concert and get points for the concerts they go to). There's only a few FC-only concerts a year though. Another thing is sometimes tickets go on sale a few weeks in advance for FC members (a lot of groups do this for their FC members, but it's more of an issue for overseas PASSPO fans because these tickets don't go on resale as much, so if you are buying a normal ticket it's going to be a higher number).
edit: The photo seats are pretty cool, for hardcore fans I think it's worth it for 10,000 Y. If I was going to both shows that day, I'd consider it for one show and then go on the first floor for the other.
-
thanks a lot for your precious info as always. :thumbsup
looks like they saw my rant and decided to open the february concert to general public too! yay! :cow: with a special second floor seat that allows you to take photos and all. :O
oh and they released the covers for the upcoming single and a preview of the clip

nothing special but I couldn`t let it pass the fact that despite having only nine girls, looks like my flopped oshimen in AKB has more screentime than poor Nachu. :sweatdrop:

I think they should have included some DVDs since anyone who owns PASSPO's albums would have all these songs already. I don't really like their new outfits for this and I'm hoping the covers are decent and also include Musshu/Kaho since she was an important member. I just don't know how to feel about this release LOL but they've been around in 2009 so it is appropriate I guess, for fans who haven't heard their older stuff.
-
wow these new costumes suck. they are so cheap and... RED. :lol:
an unreleased track (at least) would be nice too.
-
Wondering if anyone has received the three LIVE DVDs as here (http://passpo.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/passpo-live-dvds)?
I'm planning to order maybe two or maybe all three; but from the setlists it seems that maybe the HANABI one has much less content than the other two?
Anyone have any recommendations about ordering these? Any thoughts will be appreciated.
I am really starting to connect with PASSPO more and more now. All I gotta do is get to know some of the girls... right as of now, I can't name even one by sight! Sad but true. :oops:
-
I didn't buy them but i can help you thanks to the review of infzer0 (from forums.passpofan.com) :
Next Fligth Fest
Have the most songs compared all of the other 3 dvds. But some of the songs are short ver. The bonus are Next Flight Dance version and "Lip" version (lol basically just a close up version).
This dvd has one of my favorite performance, during La La La Love train, where members came down from the stage to sing soooo close with the fans...that is really awesome
Natsuzora Hanabi Fest
The live is the shortest of them all - i think only 10 songs including the encore. But the good thing about the DVD is the bonus material imo. The behind the scene is really funny - they're showing footage of passpo selling "Kakigoori" (ice shaved) to the fans haha. And also a footage of them riding the roller coaster lol...
Another bonus is the solo ver of each member PV.
Wing Fest
Throughout the concert they're wearing the "vampire" make up lol so if you want to see their "cute cute face" you better avoid this one. I really like it though, as i really like WING (it's probably one of my favorite passpo single to-date).
If you want to see Wing performance without the vampire make up you can see it during the encore segment of Natsuzora Hanabi Fest haha. The bonus got behind the scenes and the making of the PV which is awesome.
So yeah that is my short review of the DVDs. It's really hard to say which dvd is my favorite, as i really like them all lol...
and if you ask me which one you should buy, you better buy them all also LOL
-
and if you ask me which one you should buy, you better buy them all also LOL[/i]
Seems that this is what I should do!! Thanks for the help, I will also check out that forum, cos I did not know about it already!
And welcome to JPHiP... two posts and two thanks, a great start :twothumbs
-
okay, just arrived home after the one-man at Akasaka Blitz. I wasn`t able to see their january one-man, but this one I saw and now I`m relieved. since it was my first one-man in a place with no seats, I was anxious to see if the rules are serious or not. would be a lot less funny. luckily it`s not that rigorous, so we were able to mosh and jump freely. just diving wasn`t being made. well, to tell the truth I didn`t try it, so I can`t tell if it`s really prohibited. I wouldn`t like to risk myself, being the only foreigner it`s simple to locate, kill me and dispose my body somewhere. :panic:
I have to say one thing that was really cool today (two. they were using a new costume, light green. MioMio designed it and Sacotii said it was in her homage. =P ): Kurochan was there in the public. people spot him started bugging him to make some gags, he even did the "attention please, passpo desu". :lol: I knew he was a wota, but didn`t know he likes passpo too. :cow:
-
The official website has announced that Passpo will sing the ending theme of a future anime series called Leviathan. (http://passpo.jp/kiji/515/?)
Th title of the song is "Truly". :)
Here is an English article talking about it. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-03-03/gonzo-makes-leviathan-moe-fantasy-mobile-game-tv-anime)
-
man, I feel so dumb. yesterday was the special event day. I participated in the "menkai", which I thought would be a simple handshaking just a little longer. NO, it wasn't. people were allowed to take pics and get signs during it. but since I didn't expect this, I wasn't prepared and used my time only talking with Nachu. :banghead: she complained I'm going too much with her recently (yes, really!) and I told her that's because I need to see more of her smile. she lol'ed. as time passes I'm getting the feeling she is turning a little tsundere.
-
The covers for Ai and MioMio's PBs.

The first in the 2013 trilogy is a double a-side single: STEP&GO will be the ending theme for 探検ドリランド-1000年の真宝- while キャンディー・ルーム (Candy Room) will be the ending theme for the group’s upcoming new TV show PASSPO☆の尺うまTV!

I don't understand how their management thinks lol, they'll go months without any activity and releases then BAM so many things at once. :bleed eyes:

they also said that the Summer Tour will have more flights, passing through cities they didn't go this time. the thing that bugs me now is how they release a single with "Step&Go" and nothing about "Truly" yet? Leviathan is just about to start already while Driland will use their song just in second semester. :?
*ps: the new yellow costume was designed by MioMio too. I didn't like it. and didn't like "Step&Go" neither. "Candy Room" in the other hand is fucking addictive. it's very different from their other songs and "ah-ah-ah~~, ah-ah-ah~~,ah-ah-ah~~" part is too cute. :cow:
oh they appeared in school uniforms to perform "Sakura iro" in a rock version and celebrate MioMio and Annya's graduation from high school. they teared the uniforms during the show and said they would send it to Palet, as a gift from the senpais. :huhuh after my first meeting with her, MioMio is a sweetie for sure. I would go more times with her if the lane wasn't so huge. while my Nachu simply wasn't there, maybe she was sick or with some particular problem? her dance was totally off and in the handshakings she was with zero energy, with a sad face.
-
^ Aww, poor Nachu. :( I've been following tweets from people who went to the flight yesterday and I can't wait to hear 'Candy Room', it sounds really fun. It is weird that they're not releasing 'Truly' first, I almost forgot about them singing that song for Leviathan lol. I hope it won't be released on another Universal Music Store limited CD as the b-side.
I don't really like the new uniforms, the yellow is too bright and strong. :( I was never a fan of the colour in the first place though but it's really cool they're letting Mio design their outfits still.

First episode of their new TV Show is available here. (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTM5MTQ3ODQw.html)
For their ending themes check the animes there :
STEP&GO here (http://www.nosub.tv/watch/43292.html) and Truly here. (http://www.nosub.tv/watch/43405.html)

I watched it in the tv and the only thing I can say is that it wasn`t worth staying awaken till 2:30 am. :yawn:
it was clear they were completely lost. reminded the start of AKBingo, with a tv veteran having to come and help them. which is something that we could expect, no surprises or deception.
next program will feature half naked Passpo in an onsen!?!?! oh this is so lam... count me in. :twothumbs :fap
-
I kinda like the self-produced feel of the show, but it was a tad dry. I'm sure it will get better as it goes. Next week should be pretty fun to watch! :drool:
-
oh and I have to say that I bought the photobooks. I was only pretending to buy MioMio's but ended buying both and... there's no regrets. seriously, if someone didn't buy Aipon's till now... BUY IT, GOD DAMMIT!! it's one of the best photobooks I ever saw, just the first pic with a close-up in her ass already makes the money worth. :fap
MioMio's one has a vibe more kawaii than ero. it's pretty nice too, just lacks some Miku Hatsune cosplay. :P
-
just the first pic with a close-up in her ass already makes the money worth. :fap
:mon mad:
Mine come Monday. Never have I looked forward to a Monday more. :lol:

Yukimi showed a lot of spirit with this experience:
ぱすぽ☆ 空ドル 2012/12/07{With thanks to palaz212num} (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9HNpou_PA)
-
Two movies with some of the girls :
Last Girl Standing with Naomin and Nachu. (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8kcOxR-ykXg")
And a second without English title with Ai and Miomio. (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sZDOmUFn3-4")
More informations here if you speak Japanese. (http://"http://aliceinmovie.info/index.html")
-
the curious thing is that those movies are adaptations of the same (horror) story that originated a theatrical play starred by Naaboudoufu@nana.
and the question that pops in my mind now is: does Nachu have more screentime in this thing than in Passpo's clips or...? :panic:
-
They didn't have to go to L.A. I'm sure there is an airplane graveyard in Japan they could have filmed at, and plenty of Japanese rock musicians they could have worked with, but that wasn't the image they were going for. If they had more resources or time I'm sure they could have gotten a better lineup, since I do feel a lot of American rock groups are fascinated by Japanese pop culture, but Universal Japan either didn't have connections to them, or they already knew who they could work with.
Only commenting on this like almost a whole year later:
- Really appreciated your overall thoughts and views here, qwiksXnd
- I think the reason they didn't have access to an airplane graveyard in Japan is cos the Japanese climate is too wet and humid to store planes easily. The airplane graveyard they filmed "Next Flight" at is at Mojave Air & Space Port http://mojaveairport.com/ (http://mojaveairport.com/) +35° 3' 29.18", -118° 9' 27.11" (just copy & paste those coordinates into Google Maps, zoom out one notch and you'll see all the stored planes to the north and north-east of the main airport) which is in the desert and very very dry so the planes don't deteriorate fast.
- The plane which they perform under is a 1969-built Douglas DC-8 painted in the livery of Air Transport International (ATI), registration N820BX (which you can see as they pan across the plane in the first seconds of the PV). Some shots of this specific airplane when it was in service are at http://flickriver.com/photos/tags/n820bx/interesting/ (http://flickriver.com/photos/tags/n820bx/interesting/) and also at http://www.planepictures.net/netsearch4.cgi?srch=N820BX&stype=reg&srng=2 (http://www.planepictures.net/netsearch4.cgi?srch=N820BX&stype=reg&srng=2) where some of the shots are in previous livery of BAX
- You can see the full set of these planes in storage at Mojave, as they were when Passpo was there, in the middle of last year (1st June 2012) at
http://www.airteamimages.com/douglas-dc-8_N820BX_ati---air-transport-international_154706.html (http://www.airteamimages.com/douglas-dc-8_N820BX_ati---air-transport-international_154706.html) This is where Passpo filmed their PV of course. (Large view of this shot at http://www.airteamimages.com/douglas-dc-8_N820BX_ati---air-transport-international_154706_large.html (http://www.airteamimages.com/douglas-dc-8_N820BX_ati---air-transport-international_154706_large.html) - you can almost work out where they did the filming!) You can see this set of planes on Google Maps by entering these coordinates: +35° 3' 59.59", -118° 9' 57.93"
- The full lineup of American musicians (from TokyoHive at http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/05/passpo%E2%98%86-reveals-full-pv-for-upcoming-single-next-flight/ (http://www.tokyohive.com/2012/05/passpo%E2%98%86-reveals-full-pv-for-upcoming-single-next-flight/) ) is...
Next Flight
Josh Freese (drums) - formerly with Nine Inch Nails and Guns N Roses
Robin Finck (guitar) - formerly with Nine Inch Nails and Guns N Roses
Chris Chaney(bass) - huge range of work including work with Alanis Morissette, Slash, Michelle Branch and many more
Bathtub
Eric Brittingham (bass) - bassist with glam metal band Cinderella
Fred Coury (drums) - drummer with Cinderella
Edit: this full lineup with some other mentions is also at http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3821238.html (http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3821238.html)
This PV is definitely still one of my favourites from Passpo... love the contrast with the pink outfits and pretty much everything else in the video being rough and dirty.

Belated Happy Birthday to Naomi Anzai!!!
Truly Happy Birthday! Naomi-san has such big beautiful anime-style eyes. Some lucky dude will get to look in those eyes one day for the rest of their lives together. Not yet, not yet, she's still an idol and that would kill her career... but one day, those eyes will be a source of intense emotion for... someone :P
Sorry guys, just had to share that - those are some of the most amazing anime-eyes I have ever seen on a real Japanese girl! :wub:
-
:cow: YAY Happy birthday to Kenia! she is a girl that I learned to adore as the time passes and the flights come. imo, more than her eyes, Kenia is about SMILE. oh her big and adorable smile. :wub:

Short MV Previews of STEP&GO and Candy Room!!!
PASSPO☆ - STEP&GO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFuAo7gf-Qo#ws)
PASSPO☆ - キャンディー・ルーム (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMUG5ZoWWe0#ws)
Both are pretty great, in my opinion. The first is different, silly, and creative and really enjoyable in that way. THe second is more simple but really really fun, cute, girly, and has a little hint of sexy. I think it's really well done.
PASSPO hasn't released a single song I don't like so far, and I can definitely still say this ;D My favorite of the two songs is Candy Room, though

Not as good as Candy Room and the FX are really cheaps. :bleed eyes:
Too bad since the geeky theme was a good idea.
Moreover... What happened to the beautiful deep voice of Morishi ? :cry:
I would have never known that was her which was singing the final solo if i only heard it.
I suspect some recording manipulations...

With the last singles i was afraid the group has forgotten its rock originality, this song reassures me a lot.
-
Just realised this song is on the Universal Music Store version of the single. Good luck ever getting a hold of it I guess.

Anyone ever tell you that you're a pretty cool person?

Yes, but it's always nice to hear ;p
I actually bought it because I'll be in Japan (First time EVER) in exactly 21 days, and I'll be staying two weeks. The CD game with a ticket to a live they were doing on August 3rd, and no way I was missing out on that.
When I noticed it came with a different b-side, it was just like a super bonus. :D (Even more so now that I hear it- it's my favorite track on the single. :twothumbs: )
-
Ah nice, hope you have a great time.
I think the b-side on this version might be the best song Passpo have put out this year. That might be an unpopular opinion but hey I'll own it.
-
That might be an unpopular opinion but hey I'll own it.
Not sure about that, many people (including me) agree with you.
Baby Jump is a fucking great song, it should have been an A side... :(
-
hey guys, you that follow this group since way more time than me, can tell please if this thing (being talked recently in 2ch) about Aipon being a half with Filipino mother is really new or unexpected?
when I saw people talking about it, it confused me cuz I thought it was a common sense already, judging from some posts in her blog, her mother's name...
-
That would be news to me. What's her mother's name?
When I first started following the group I thought several of them were halfies (Morishi, Makoto, Kaho, and Naomi) . As far as I know only Kaho talked about looking like a halfie and always denied it.
-
Never heard anyone speculate that Aipon was a halfie before so I'm not sure where that came from.
She sure doesn't look it at least.
-
Hello everyone! My Universal Music Japan edition of "Truly" finally came in today, so as promised, here is a download of "BABY JUMP ~Tengoku e doujou bin~" for you all! :D
Enjoy~
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8ww08erwhd5c1gu/02_BABY_JUMP_.m4a (http://www.mediafire.com/download/8ww08erwhd5c1gu/02_BABY_JUMP_.m4a)
-
As far as I know only Kaho talked about looking like a halfie and always denied it.
well, Naomin is inquired quite frequently about it, cuz of her big eyes and darker skin tone.
I`m not a big Aipon follower (I usually only look for Nachu and MioMio related stuff) so I was surprised... not exactly because of the fact, cuz we have a ton of halfies in the idol world and Aipon does have some traces, imo.
but the point that just this past week it appeared... I mean... she talked about her mother in the one-man done last may (if I remember correctly)... and let me apologize to qwiksXnd cuz I don`t remember her mother`s name :sweatdrop: I tried searching for it but no results... I do remember the people going "ohhhhhh" and Annya joking that it looked like a mythological entity name. it had a spanish origin, something like Milena, Selena...
and Aipon already showed some filipino stuff in ther blog sometime ago too http://ameblo.jp/negishiai/day-20090316.html (http://ameblo.jp/negishiai/day-20090316.html)
(she talks about a Filipino perfume that not only her, but her mother and father like and that it was sent by her grandmother -so she lives in Philippines, I guess-)
-
So, I don't really follow Passpo at all, but I decided to grab the two albums available on US iTunes on a whim and...wow. Both of them -- but especially One World -- blew me away with how good they were. Usually I have to adjust my expectations to idol music, but I guess Passpo is right in my wheelhouse because I genuinely liked them from the first listen.
It'd be nice if more of their stuff became available on iTunes, but I'm not holding my breath.
-
I find extremely annoying when the halfies or mixed girls theme appears because this doesn't have any relevance for me... but for many does
-
I think it`s annoying only when people start attacking the girl with racist comments. imo, the girl being a half is a plus. ;) and for the foreign fans it`s interesting cuz the chances of the girl being able to speak proper english increase highly. (dunno about Aipon though, never talked with her till now...)
-
I don't think any of us were talking about it in a negative light or even really making that big of a deal about it. It's just something interesting to talk about is all.
-
In the last week's Shaku Uma episode we saw Aipon's mother and... she doesn't look like her at all. :D
-
OH! now I see why they were talking recently about Aipon being a half. they showed her house family and all in "Shaku Uma TV". a must see to the Aipon fans:
[2013.07.06] PASSPO☆の尺うまTV ep13 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7Zlz5_S0xQ#ws)
*ps: I live alone too. and I'm male. though my home is way better than Aipon's, I don't use corrugated boxes as tables. :lol: have to say this to her someday. :P
*ps: in the end of episode 12 there was a sneeze prank... I thought it was a preview of the next episode or something... damn, I would like to see a longer version of it, looked like stupidly funny.
-
Yeah, I was wondering what happened to the high speed camera sneezing bit. I figured it was going to have a whole episode dedicated to it or something.
Aipon's apartment is pretty much what my apartment would look like if I lived alone. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
-
Considering they showed Aipon's parents, has there ever been footage of Mako-t's older sister?
-
Now that I think about it, they really should just invade all of the other member's houses like they did with Aipon. That's another 8 episodes they could do and I'm sure none of the viewers would mind that much.
-
yep, they really should do it. would be extremely interesting since we rarely see this kind of thing about our idols... I only hope they don't do it with Nacchu, cuz c'mon... if the almighty Aipon's apartment is that simple, imagine what shall be the flopped girl room. :nervous she may sleep in a newspaper bed with only ice cream in her whole kitchen.
I don't think Maccochan would agree to do one of these episodes... it would be revealed that her jellyfish is dead. :P
-
Now that I think about it, they really should just invade all of the other member's houses like they did with Aipon.
Yeah, that would be nice to see what Morishi's parents (aka my future parents in-law (:D)) look like.
-
I'd love to see everyone's houses, too! I bet Anna's room is really cool and stylish *__* <3
-
[...] if the almighty Aipon's apartment is that simple, imagine what shall be the flopped girl room. :nervous she may sleep in a newspaper bed with only ice cream in her whole kitchen. [...]
The newspaper bed was mean but the kitchen full of ice cream I can clearly imagine :lol:
If it's that bad she can live with me...
By the way, god bless your soul Daydreamer0Fly, thanks a lot for this song!!
Already asking a question: does anybody have the limited edition of Sakura Komachi? I just love Wish on a Star so much but don't have this song better than Youtube rip :banghead:

Limited B sides are HARD to find. Good thing they even are on Youtube. It's like this with Wish on a star and was like this with 2DAYS and Pock Star until they got released on One World.
Hopefully they do this with their next album, it will be definitely mine if so, the limited B sides alone justify it.
If you want to hear them alone you should rip them from the Youtube clip, it's like the only chance for now.

11th single: Growing Up
Next single announced for October 16th, 3 years after Pretty Lie (but 4 days earlier).
Not only related in date, but also in content: the song is said to be like an "after song" for Pretty lie, a sequence for it apparently.
Here a video posted on their official site about the single:
PASSPO☆ - Growing UP ~根岸 愛~ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Nhf7H0wQI#)
On the video, a song closely related to Pretty Lie can be heard, and said song isn't present on Gracenote's database at all. So it's most likely a preview of the song itself.
Traklist:
1.Growing Up
2.Cosmic You
3.Growing Up (instrumental)
4.Cosmic You (instrumental)
The single will be released on the usual three classes versions, with same traklists for all regular versions (if there's limited ones, possibly a limited B-side will be present). Here links for pre-sales on CD Japan (mods can delete if that's against the rules, sorry if so):
Economy (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/ZRcokempdVE/4176/A793738/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-5808), containing only the CD single;
Business (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/ZRcokempdVE/4176/A793738/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-9892), with DVD containing Growing Up Dance Shot version;
First Class (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/aff/click.cgi/ZRcokempdVE/4176/A793738/detailview.html?KEY=UPCH-9891), containing DVD with Growing Up PV.
The same configuration as usual.

if the new song can attain fifty percent of Pretty Lie's greatness it will be an instant classic already. :heart:
I'm pleased to see they'll be doing a series of videos with all the girls promoting the new song (starting with Aipon, as seen above) just like Predia has done recently. I can't wait to see MioMio and Nachu ones. :bow:

the poster is very very cool

I would hang that poster on my wall for sure.

still no info about what will be done regarding the baseball event scheduled for last monday that was cancelled due to the typhoon. hope they can appoint another date, would be really sad if after all those programs building up, they ended without a real match. :(
sorry if I'm too lazy and this video was already posted here, but someone cares to explain what's the history behind this?
ぱすぽ(仮) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPkCqF6WE4#ws)
like when it was made, for what purpose and so on. I can only recognize Nachu, MioMio, Naomin and Macocchan there. :sweatdrop: (edit: Sako and Annya too. Morishi, Aipon, Yukky and Mushu, no way)

Now it's Naomin's turn to speak, and from what I could understand she called Nacchu on the phone, showing gratitude for all the time and all (Nacchu was kinda "Why suddenly????").
PASSPO gives me such a cute friendship image I don't see everywhere... :wub:

great, Nachu will probably be left as the last one. :angry:
is it my impression or each one is really thanking different people? mother, father, choreographer, colleague... if they continue without repeating, I wonder who will Nachu thank... the ice cream vendor?!?!? XD

Since last week Natchu and Naomin are back in our french tv show "Japan in Motion".

PASSPO☆ - 「Growing Up」アンサーメッセージ映像 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_B25S1RcS8#)
I really would appreciate a lot a translation of this, I really can't keep up with anything... /cry
Looks like messages from the members, much like the previous videos, but not the same.
And on their site there was something about baseball cards with the members on them, that would come with Regular Edition Growing Up single if bought from the Universal Music Japan store, if I remember correctly:

I expect nothing less than the best idol album of this year, since the last one was awesome. :)
hey guys, did you saw that "Growing Up" had the best sale numbers since "ViVi Natsu", with more 17,250 copies? the good marketing this time paid off nicely. dunno where they can get with the album, but it would be HUGE for them if it reached the top 10...
on another hand, am I the only one feeling that we may have a graduation soon? :(
-
^ Who are you thinking? When I first saw the Truly video, I immediately noticed Makoto was only in the video for one second in the first minute. Seemed really weird and I thought they could be minimizing her role in case she graduates.
-
exactly her, Macocchan. she'd been away several times already (specially in their tv program) with all her other works... some days ago I saw a CM with her and saw her "Growing Up" video where she goes saying like "I'll graduate when I feel ready and fulfilled" kind of things and couldn't help to think that she may be felling ready sooner than later. she is the one with more works outside the group so...
*and I can't help to add that from the times I spot her in events, she looked like the one that was less amused among them. not really antipathetic but still...*
-
That's interesting. I haven't kept up to date with the group, so I haven't watched the Growing Up videos. The last time I went to an event she was using "eien no seventeen" as her catchphrase so it's been a while, but she was always extremely fan friendly. I don't know how this would factor into anything, but she's the only member who never had a best friend within the group. She's closest with Yukki but that seemed more like a big sister relationship. She is by far my favorite member, but I never thought PASSPO was the best match for her. Obviously I'd like her to stay, but for a long time I've considered her the likeliest to graduate.
-
Makochan did gave this feeling from the Growing Up PV, from the entirety almost.
The whole PV gave me a "Goodbye our friend" feeling. the whole ending scene where she's the only one not among the girls, but they all looking at her gave me an impression of she being graduating soon.
I hope not, but if she does, may it be for her best, and may the group stay strong as well.

I thought why previous makocchan rarely active in PASSPO it because he was busy with a shooting in the series Kamen Rider, but now makocchan already active in all activities PASSPO. and if someone says he has no friend in PASSPO I do not think so because she was very close with all the members, especially Naomi, Yukki, Natchu, Mori but with the other he is also very close. :?

-
my biggest fear regarding Macocchan's possible graduation is that I think she can keep quite well outside the group but I have serious doubts that they can continue without her. Not only because she one of the top 3, but because I think their ties are so strong that it may trigger some other graduations. I dunno what you guys think, but imo Passpo doesn't look like one of those groups that can keep alive substituting members. If let's say four of them quit, I see the remaining girls simply breaking the group and it's over.

If they where one of those disposable groups out there it would be fine, and they would just find another one on the same type, that's it.
But the biggest proof they aren't like this is that after Kaho's graduation the group stayed the same.
I don't think PASSPO will crumble apart without her, but it will be a big impact.
Anyway, I like her and want her to stay, but if it's for the good. No point wanting the worse for the girl, just hope everything goes well.
WELL, these are just some things we are discussing here and maybe not anything of it makes even sense (hopefully), let's see how things go.

Hey, even if it's 2 or 3 week old subject, I want to say that I don't think Macochan will graduate soon. Even if she was less present, she wasn't the more absent girl (3 seconds with Yukimi :'( ) in Truly's PV. I'll be killed by Mako's lovers but I think she was too much on the front of the stage, and it was good to see the other girls.
And for Growing Up, I don't have the "Goodbye to our friend" feeling. It's natural to think about that (especially for the 5 last seconds), but I think she had to much importance in this PV for leaving the group like that. Usually, you try to minimize the role of the girl who'll graduate.
In fact, I really love this PV and the "Dance Shot version" confirmed one of my idea. The scene where Macochan is alone on stage is *the same* scene as in "Pretty Lie" where she's singing alone. Since they have made a so big story about Growing Up and Pretty Lie, maybe the PV's scenario was thought like that.
Also, I really think that Maccochan is the girl who grew up the most. When you saw the first flights, she was soooo shy (telling her name seemed difficult ^^), and now she's the girl having the most activity out of the group.
(Aipon grew also a lot, but since the beginning, imo, she was a true leader, a true Captain)
So for this reasons, I don't think she'll graduate immediately. Even if she does some things without PASSPO, she have to acquire more popularity to make a solo carrier, and she can have it with the group.
But you're right, I have a bad feeling about a graduation of a member in the coming months, and I'm already sad :'(
-
talking about graduations, did you see what happened yesterday? looks like someone hacked MioMio twitter's account (now deleted) and started posting "graduation" and "I'll quit". no one understood what was happening, fans and members... there was a big noise at 2ch (that I'm now trying to catch up) and today they send an e-mail to all members of the fanclub (this is where I found about this story) apologizing and saying they'll investigate what happened. :O
-
Yes i saw it.
In fact I saw it on twitter, the other members and the staff were talking about it.
I hope she'll forget this story quickly and come back on twitter.
It's stupid to do that, but lots of worst things could happen in life. She just has to keep smiling :wub:

Today, JEJEJEJET!!, their 3rd album is in sale :)!
Unfortunately, I will not receive it so quickly :(
If someone already had a copy, don't hesitate to share your feelings about it with us :D (about the DVD of the first-class edition for exemple )
And for those who can't wait to listen it, you can listen it there! (http://www.musicme.com/Passpo/albums/Jejejejet!!-0600406389671.html) :wub:
EDIT: Now available on Deezer (http://www.deezer.com/album/7174074) and Spotify (https://play.spotify.com/album/2QnOV2tlbznKaj8b7yQGOD) ;)

bought the cd only version (maybe buy the other one later). my quick impressions:
-am I the only finding it difficult to judge if this album is better or worse than "One World"? (in 2ch most guys think it`s worse...)
-imo, this album is funnier and more "idolish". which is interesting but a little contradictory with the "mature look" around the photos and videos. maybe it was made on purpose... either way, I liked it.
-Aipon` solo song is extremely cute.
-MioMio` song is a little... strange. her voice and lyrics would match better a ballad not this pop-rock tune.
-Aipon`s "Kucha Love" is the original song that stood up more for me. very nice.
- I may be the only one in the world that thinks this, but... I liked the "Growing Up" single version more than the new one.
-
Don't feel so alone ^^, I also think that the single version of Growing Up is better, even if this version is not bad!
For the general feelings on this album, I think it's the same quality as One World.
But one really great thing is that some of them really work a lot on this album. As you said, Aipon and MioMio have worked hard on 2 songs.
Also, I think that more and more they have 2 really differents styles : a pure pop style and a (pop-)rock style.
For MioMio, she's not the better singer and to sing a ballade you must have a good voice. For the album, you can do it easily, yes, but in live... I really think she's not able to do it for the moment. (And I'm rather sure she really prefers pop-rock rather than ballade ;)).
The song Shang Shang Chandelier really sounds like Urbangarde's songs. It's probably the most original song here.
On my side, for the moment, I don't have a preferred song (talking about the new song - and for the other songs of the album, maybe I still listening a little more Growing up), they're all great, imho!
What I really want for the next album it's some really personal songs, for exemple an acoustic song with Aipon playing piano (and singing alone or with other members...) :wub: :wub: :wub:.
Oh and an information, on day 1, their album were 5th at the top Oricon.

Thanks a LOT Akokyuu, those previews made my mind instantly! Now just waiting... 3 weeks until it arrives... (After all, express mail would be half or almost the price of the album itself)
Wish on a Star was the song that made me want this badly, and the others confirmed it.
Mine is the Economy Class version, not first press (my copy of One World was).
By the way: anybody here with first press editions? Please share what you got with the first press!! One World was a poster, I remember something about a Christmas card or what was it with JEJEJEJET!!, but please tell us what you got with it!.
-
You're welcome :p.
Hum I bought the first class edition but I'll not receive it now neither. In fact, I don't know when I will receive it. I choosed air mail too because the last time I bought something, I paid so much taxes, woooow (my ass still hurting me...). So I will receive it between 1 and 8 weeks :cry:
But I haven't saw any first press edition in sales for this edition (?).
For the regular version, yes it's a christmas card, but no photos or scans found for the moment.
For those who are interested, still 2 cds with the first press bonus on CDJapan!
-
yep I know MioMio probably likes a pop-rock tune better, but I think it would fit nicely. I don't think her singing ability is so bad, imo she is, let's say, "idol average". :D she could handle a ballad. wouldn't turn something Yuka Masuda quality, but it's okay for me.
I got a christmas card with mine, you can have a look here http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fMxj3_ZQSZ0/UqpPETqPbHI/AAAAAAAAJE4/1TrFOUcmelo/s1600/meguro+goods+02.jpg (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fMxj3_ZQSZ0/UqpPETqPbHI/AAAAAAAAJE4/1TrFOUcmelo/s1600/meguro+goods+02.jpg)
and yes, they are clearly walking with two different styles, more "idolish" and more rock. I personally like it, since it opens more space to creativity. but I comprehend those who prefer them doing only more rock oriented songs.
would be really nice if they went further in this idea of writing the lyrics themselves, having solos... I sometimes think that Penne to Arabiata is kinda out of good new ideas, and having more variety in the composition would certainly help the group to keep interesting. (the same I few about AKB and Akimoto, but in a lesser extent here)
-
I think the songs on their new album is pretty good, especially song kucha love, because the vocals first filled by makochan :heart:,
and song creation mio I think is also good to hear, even though the main vocal if not mistaken it only focused on the Mio, aipon and mori. :)
-
I really want Beast In You or Mask to be the next single.
-
I really want Beast In You or Mask to be the next single.
weeeeellll, possible it is, but extremely unlikely.
There's then hope to see songs like those two in the new singles.
But hey, I'm shooting fireworks already with this album, really worth the (biiig) money!!
Not that I have it in hands... but already listened in Deezer, really suits my style, I really won't complain if they follow with this style they are now.
Just want to see more Nacchu!! (well, as her fan that's obvious, but she is getting more attention now.)

12th single : "Perfect Sky".
Release date : 26/03/14
It's gonna be a girl's band style single.
Mio : Bass.
Sako and Naomin: Guitars
Annya : Drums
Others : Sing and dance.
-
when I first heard about it, I became excited expecting something "Give Me Five!!" alike...
but now seeing that five of them will be doing nothing (okay, Morishi and Aipon will sing as always. but still 3 left...) looks like such a good opportunity wasted... Yukky could be in the mixer, Nachu in the keyboards and Macocchan with the percussion, something like that. :(
-
^ I agree. Mako-T playing tambourine please... while wearing a bikini. And maybe Yuki or Natsumi could play a banjo?
-
The "others" line is not cleary official, they just don't have announced anything for them yet. ;)

Hopefully the others are yet to announce their roles, I NEED to see Nacchu playing keyboard!!!!
Aipon's photobook looks pretty deadly... although I prefer more shy girls I don't mind seeing her this way.... :fap

edit: oh yeah, I hope they at least make a dvd so I can watch it someday, just like Denpa Gumi's program.

^ Just click on the link which Sokhar dude provided, then you can watch it free! Even no need to register and log in(this suprise me) :nervous

yeah I saw the first episode. but will it continue to be released for free till the end? generally they release a few free episodes but start making it pay-per-view after some time.

great! this week we didn't have our Nokkaru TV episode due to unspecified circumstances. :thumbdown: nice way to kill the potential interest from people still in the starting of this.
and the worst part is that it would be an episode with them playing Airsoft, that is a hobby that I particularly adore. hope this next weekend they upload it.

it was nice. nothing special but well done. Naomin said that in the next one-man (may 3rd) they'll be playing again and... more songs! this is probably the reason why they have so few activities scheduled for next month, they gotta be training hard. it would be marvelous if they could play... let's say five or six songs. and specially some old ones like "let it go" and "material girl". :D

well, yesterday in the last release event of the "Perfect Sky" single at Akiba Sofmap, I did something that can possibly turn me into a banned guy from Passpo concerts. :lol:
I'm not one of those that always participate in their handshaking events, but when I do, I always talk (or take pics) with my oshimen, Bonkura-chan. so that she remembers about me when I go there. (see? she is not so stupid as people say. she has some kind of memory that denotes the existence of at least a dozen working neurons. rofl)
yesterday I thought about giving her a present. must be tough seeing her colleagues receiving bags of things... while she always receives so few presents (and when she does get something, it's pretty cheap stuff... like a RedBull can. rofl -no kidding, real story-). that made me a little sad inside, so I decided to do it, despite this kind of thing not being usual for me. (to be honest, I NEVER bought a present to some idol before. I once gave to her some cheap toys but I didn't buy them, I carelessly got those in an UFO catcher some minutes before the event)
so it was some difficult task to me and I had no clue of what to give her... but I wanted to stand out, that's for sure. I had to make an impression (as if being a foreigner in their shows wasn't enough)...
Nachu doesn't lay out a lot of clues in her blog, so I was pretty much left with giving her something related to ice creams... my initial idea was to buy an ice cream maker. but not a common electric maker, a toy one. :D I thought it would fit her image well. :P
but I had just some hours to find one in Akihabara before the event started and... had no luck. so I went to Don Quijote and searched for some funny stuff. I ended up becoming enchanted with a sexy lingerie with exposed breasts (similar to this one http://www.dhgate.com/product/dl-black-super-sexy-exposed-breast-open-files/166429979.html (http://www.dhgate.com/product/dl-black-super-sexy-exposed-breast-open-files/166429979.html)) and so I thought: why not? :D
my friends gave me some stupid ideas courage and I did it! put in some package so she couldn't know what it was inside and gave her. I made sure to drawn some suspense and curiosity about what it was (just for the lulz), but didn't find some comments about it yet (on her blog or twitter). dunno if this is a good sinal.
maybe she got pissed? maybe she hates me now?!? :huhuh well, I'll discover next time I try to see them. I may be banned from their shows by now rofl or in the best scenario, I turned into a laughing stock and even MioMio will point at me and joke about my present to Nachu. :ph43r:

Holy shit, you are crazy. :lol:
-
^^^ Hilarious, but really risky. I love how the options were either an ice cream maker or lingerie. I always thought gifts had to be given to the staff first who then give them to the girls. Hopefully she takes the gift the right way, but what if it leads to rule changes... like no more gifts because of that one Natsumi fan. Either way, looking forward to the update.

nah, with Passpo and most of the low profile groups you can hand it directly to the girl. that's why I gave it to her, in the first place. I have zero interest in giving something to a girl if I can't do it by myself, kills the purpose, imo. this is why I never gave (and never will) something to Sekki (from Up Up) or some AKB/SKE girl. it's so uncool to not be able to see the smile in the girl's face and all the giggles. :twothumbs
holy shit, I didn't think about it this way... I may be responsible for some rule changes an so the wotas will become pissed trying to catch me. :panic:

She took 1hr 15 seconds. 175th out of 629 overall, and 54th of 303 women. Pretty good stuff! Congrats Morishi!

According to Naomin's and Yukki's Twitter, they did "Passpo Band Versions" for 4 songs during their latest One-Man-Flight:
1. Perfect Sky
2. Candy Room
3. Shiny Road
4. Wanted
Growing Up and Beast In You were performed with a String Quartett.

well, I think it`s better to update the situation about that crazy idea of giving Nachu a sexy lingerie cuz... well, someone may be curious. :roll:
today at the Kawaii Nippon Expo festival I was finally able to talk with Nachu again. no, I`m not banned from taking part in their handshaking events. :cow: :twothumbs :cow:
after she gave me a slap, she asked where the hell she would use it and I said "what about in the next Hacchake Night?" :lol:
she said it doesn't fit her image in any way so she gave the lingerie to Aipon. "u kidding, right?". "nope". :shocked WTF?!? well, I guess I can't really complain of her act since I was the one that started this douchebaggery but now this story reaches another point: I'll have to talk with Aipon to know if Nachu was joking or was really telling the truth. I don't have much to lose at this point so I just pray that she doesn't receive me "oh! so you are the perv gaijin, ahn??".
Nachu turned to Naomin (who was free at that moment) and said "look. remember that lingerie... it was him...". at this moment the staff tapped in my shoulder and man, I never felt so relieved to end a handshaking before. :nervous I simply turned and got away quickly before Naomin memorized my face and started laughing. so, as I feared, Nachu showed it to the other girls. ............. ............. now I have to remember: NEVER meet with Annya, cuz she has the guts to start moking me "hey! the perv guy is here! wahahahahahah will you give me a negligee? a bikini?!". :ph43r:

@tsutomo:

that's the monthly Gear Playboy not the Weekly Playboy. you can see by the photography theme in their interview.
-
I am just glad, that they are not doing what girls normally do in Playboy ;)
-
well... if we are talking about the japanese playboy, I see no problem at all, since in it they appear wearing bikinis at most. heck, actually even if we were talking about the brazilian playboy they barely show nipples there, its so :yawn:
-
Okay, in Germany we have bare breast even at noon, so I don't care in general. ;)
But it wouldn't fit Passpo any way!
Too bad I can not read their interviews. Had a talk today with someone who told me they are quite interesting. Also their lyrics shall be great. Damn...

Is it an original song? It is only 2 minutes long. Well, it will probably be released later as a B-Side or next album.
-
Hum, for what i've understood, this song already exists, and lots of singer/groups are doing a remix of this song.
I don't know why, and even if it's really that.
But, yes, it will probably be the B-side. Wait and see.

That is some bad hand-wroter by Passpo!

you saw it live? oh I'm so envious of you now :roll:
this Popopo guy is always uploading Passpo videos, doing the work the staffs are too lazy to do. :lol:
-
You in particular should be :P
Yeah, strange how he can manage that.

Naomin just started using Instagram yesterday! Hopefully she keeps updating, unlike some others who should be, but aren't updating much any more (Maeda Atsuko, Oshima Yuko, etc.). Ain't nobody got time to go look for blog entries or sift through all them random tweets! Post them pics and videos girl!
http://instagram.com/naomichaaaan (http://instagram.com/naomichaaaan)
She started pretty strong though, with like 5 pics in the first 24 hours.

Concert from May 2011 (1 day after Shoujo Hiko was released). Unless you caught the original stream three years ago, only the first 3 songs had been on youtube previously.
Features: “classic” PASSPO w/ Mushu, Anna wearing glasses (common then, nonexistent now), "eien no 17" Makochan, and super rare songs like Breakout!!, Yume Passport, and Muteki Girl, and even more rare Sakura Iro.

Since it was posted in the SUPER☆GiRLS thread, I might as well post it here too. Morishi killing it in "Joshiryoku Paradise"!

Anna's glasses were the thing that made me notice her way back then! :wub:

What I noticed:
1. Passpo was much more "idolish" back then. But the power of today's was already there. It is obvious why they made such impact back then!
2. I will NEVER comprehend the fashion trend of wearing fake glasses, as seen by most of them here.
3. They didn't wear flight attendance uniforms, but school girl outfits - A much welcomed change for me! I just wish they would change their uniforms more often like that!
Too bad about the video quality though. Can hardly differentiate them. Good stuff though!
But who the hell had the idea of using a side camera that often for recording?!?
-
I don't mind fake glasses, except when people wear the ones without lenses.
Seeing how packed that place is, the side camera had a less obstructed view of the girls. There was no room for a camera on a track in front of the stage with the fans right up against it and we saw how terrible the rear camera angle was too. And then there's also how familiar or not whoever is directing the cameras and filming with a group's performance. It's pretty bad when they're playing catch-up with finding whoever is singing or supposed to be the focus at different parts of songs. The worst is when I'm watching a band and they're showing the drummer or bass player while the guitarist is soloing.
-

Absolutely agree with that. This I hate :thumbdown:
Let's see if they show Sako soloing when they record a band version show :lol:

Went and checked out the 1st episode of their web show GOOD LUCK STREAM at Shibuya PARCO tonight. I haven't really been paying attention to Makocchan but holy smokes, she is super cute in that "I must protect her!" sort of way. I'm still supporting Anya but Makocchan is cute too.
Show dragged a little but as it was the first episode, that was to be expected. Hopefully, they keep improving with each subsequent show. All I know is that Anya and Miomio will be on for the next show in a few weeks. Not sure who the other two will be yet.
-
Cool, you were there.
Have they announced any events for next week?
Will their Shinjuku Blaze Flight be Aipon's official seitansai?

Unsurprisingly, POPOPOPO uploaded it.

BAD NEWS: Makochan just announced her graduation at their show at Shinjiku Blaze!!! Her last flight will be the New Years Show.
-
You were there too?
Here's a video and the translation of her message on the site below the video.

^you are so quick in the news! looks like you were there in the show... :roll:
but seriously, we were speculating here months ago about her graduation... looks like the timing was correct since she talked about it with the other members right before the start of this tour.
after january it will be really interesting to see what will happen with the group after losing the second most famous member. exactly now that they were talking about aiming at a Budoukan show... let's admit it became further away now, more than ever... back to our speculation I really hope we were wrong at predicting one graduation would "open the door" to several others, culminating in their disband. becuz I really can't see the management adding a new member to "keep things as they are" and I really question what are the motivations for most of them to continue in the group if it sticks to this current level and can't progress.
-
I wonder why they haven't done a Budokan show yet. I like Babyraids too but, I think them having a Budokan show despite only being around for 2 years is really early, especially since 9nine didn't have one until right before their 9th "birthday". BiS was trying to have a Budokan concert but ended up at Yokohama Arena (which is bigger, isn't it?) when they disbanded. Compared to other groups, it would seem odd if they added a new member, since they've stayed pretty much the same, aside from when Kaho left 3 years ago. Whatever happened to her? Her blog and Twitter haven't been updated in years!
-
It's not so easy to make a show at Budoukan as it may appear. you still can count on your fingers all the idol groups (outside AKB and H!P franchises) that managed to make a concert there (or in similar stages). you can name one "odd case" here and there but all have their background. BiS for example only had that show at Yokohama Arena because they were disbanding, otherwise it wouldn't happen. Pour Lui (and if I remember correctly manager JunJun too) talked how they were broken after holding that big show with so many empty seats (half the capacity of the Arena. a thing that was obviously going to happen). and I recall them talking about the reasons why they picked Yokohama Arena instead of Budoukan too (availability of the place, renting price, etc). so yeah Passpo could make a Budoukan show already, but only if the management didn't care about having some inevitable losses in the process. I still guess that they'll hold their farewell concert there though, some years from now (a little optimism from my part here).
Kaho is alive becuz I remember someone posting on twitter a pic with her in some restaurant/bar like a month ago. (I think it was Morishi, not sure now) and yeah it would be very strange to see a new member in the group. their relationship looks to be closer than your average group out there, the new member would be so out of place... specially if they added a loli.
-
Video from after the concert uploaded by staff.
http://youtu.be/uEfmApAFz2o (http://youtu.be/uEfmApAFz2o)
Yeah, BiS seemed to lose a lot of money on their "final" concert with all the 1 yen and 2000 yen seats they had just to try fill it up. All the fans in the arena seats paid like 6,000 yen or even 30,000 yen for the "moshing" area way in the front if I remember correctly. That's probably why they had a "former BiS one-man" the next night with an entry fee of 30,000 yen? Didn't AKB lose a lot of money the first time they had their Tokyo Dome concerts as well? I guess it's all about the prestige of having a concert in such a famous place.
Well, there was an attempt to add new members to PASSPO before, because isn't that how palet came into being? They added Nakano Yumi (age not disclosed on palet's site) earlier this year but then again, they've only been around since 2012.
It seems like some members of FYT (Funky Yankee Teachers, teacher-themed group under the same agency) was at the show too, according to Twitter.
Oricon was pretty fast in getting their article up. Don't click if you can't handle the sight of a teary-eyed Makocchan!
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2042642/full/ (http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2042642/full/)
-
that BiS show was overpriced because they had tabehoudai and nomihoudai included, don't forget this detail. I remember seing some pics of the event, JunJun bought like a ton of McDonald's burgers. rofl
I wasn't following Passpo so closely when Palet was created but yeah the official story is that they were training to turn into Passpo members but ended up as another group. if you ask my point of view, from the little I know about this agency and all... I guess their plan was to create a new group from the beginning. and the Passpo trainees story was released just to make some buzz and attract people to new group, leaching some prestige from their most successful group. maybe Shawn or some other guy can have their insight in this topic becuz I'm sure they know better than me. and yeah the sister groups don't have this 'problem', they are always adding and losing members while their essence continues. I can't explain it clearly but I don't think the same thing would (or will) happen with Passpo though. just my gut feeling.
-
Let us all stay calm for now and see how the time until New Year will be for them. After that it will become even more interesting. I don't see them disbanding either.
-
stay calm??? it`s not like some scrub as Nachu announced graduation, it`s the most well known girl from people outside Passpo fanbase, Macocchan! the sky is falling!!! :panic: :panic: :panic:
ps: wattstax, are still locked in the bathroom crying or you are okay already? :roll:
-
That is why you must now stay calm. I am sure you are more sad than me, now that she even was nicer to you than Nachu :P And I still believe you are the reason she leaves... ;P
Times are admittedly though now for their management. Will be interesting to see how important Makochan really was for Passpo's popularity and what Makochans passengers will do with the beginning of the new year.

140916 PASSPO☆ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu8ZcwZgCEQ#ws)
Whoa, without even watching the video I recognized Adorien. I never met him, but I remember he bought 500 copies of ViVi Natsu :O And he used to read my blog XD
About Mako-T, I think she fulfilled her obligations to the group, so I'm happy for her. Although her leaving obviously hurts them. I want to go to the concert. Are you guys going? (vaguely recalls wattstax telling me he is going to the New Years concert).
About Palet, the intention was to add new members (Kaho had graduated three months prior). A ballot was included w/ Kimi wa Boku wo Suki ni naru and they set up a voting website where you had to enter the keycode. There were a few of us here who voted. They also provided the results of the fan vote at their blog [although the numbers were obviously fake. A girl named Misa (http://ameblo.jp/saionjimisa/ (http://ameblo.jp/saionjimisa/)) was the clear frontrunner but in the results she wasn't in the top 5. And I just realized after a 2 year hiatus she recently updated her blog and evidently she's in a new idol group now. I'll have to blog about this later XD - I was a huge fan of hers back then]. Just speculation on my part but I got the impression the members really didn't want new girls joining (after they announced that none of the candidates made the group Aipon tweeted something about them wanting the chance to prove to their management that they can be successful as 9 members). Because of the failed audition I always thought of Palet as the PASSPO rejects, but I'm giving them another chance because the new girl is interesting. At the time it wasn't apparent that they would get their own group because (1) the girls had all just been publicly rejected and (2) they weren't that talented (at least not back then). There was one cool fan in this forum who correctly predicted that a new group would form though, but it definitely wasn't obvious at the time. (wonders if she is still a fan)
sorry if I'm too lazy and this video was already posted here, but someone cares to explain what's the history behind this?
ぱすぽ(仮) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCPkCqF6WE4#ws)
like when it was made, for what purpose and so on. I can only recognize Nachu, MioMio, Naomin and Macocchan there. :sweatdrop: (edit: Sako and Annya too. Morishi, Aipon, Yukky and Mushu, no way)
This is a year late, but your question was never answered and this is an awesome video! (I was bored the other day and read up on all the stuff I missed) The footage was from before the group was formed (2009), you can see the other candidate members in the video (hence the "仮"). When the group was being created there were 19 candidates (all girls from the platinum agency). Leading up to their debut they did these events where fans could meet them, because ultimately the fans were going to be able to vote on the girls, and help determine the final lineup. Back then they let fans vote on stuff like the name of the group, logo design, and other random things.
edit: ^ What's the story with Makochan being nice to Caio?
-
Wow, when you come back to the forum, you come back to the forum. So much text.
But great to hear again from you!
Yea, me and Caio are going there. He already got the ticket for me :) He can be such nice guy - until you know him better, of course :D Would be great to see you there.
Too bad though, that the focus of the anniversary turns now to the graduation.
Well, and Mako being nice to Caio: Don't know if I can tell you now. He may want to use it for his blog. ;)
Oh, and btw Shaun: Haven't you told me at TIF that you like Makochan? But when re-reading your blog it was actually Morishi. What is true now? :confused:
-
Awesome, I'm glad you both are going. It's unfortunate that it's gone from a New Years show to a graduation concert, but it should be a really unique experience considering graduations are the most rare type of concert. And it's a cool venue, although now I wonder if they could have booked someplace even bigger than Tokyo Dome City Hall.
Hmm, trying to figure out how to explain my fandom for Makochan and Morishi without sounding like a loser who changes oshimen (at one time Nachu, Socrates, Annya, Mako-T, and Morrissey have been my favorites). Back when I was going to their shows I preferred Morishi, but I changed back a while ago (2012). I'm typically loyal to my favorite member, PASSPO was a unique situation.
-
But it would have been interesting to know if the name of PASSPO alone would have been enough to fill TDCH. I still have a hard time believing they are that famous. And even thinking of Budokan...
But anyway, the graduation should lead to a soldout venue now. Which will hopefully give a boost to the group.
But regarding your changing oshi: Don't worry, I can relate. Every member of PASSPO has oshi worthy traits. That is why always talk with other girls besides Yucky. Even gave Naomin a present. (She was my initial oshi btw, until I met them directly.)
-
see?!? do you need more proof that the sky is really falling??? Shawn even returned to the forum! :panic: :panic: :panic:
but is nice to read his inputs about Passpo and Palet`s past. :)
Shawn, are u going to January concert too? c`mon, now more than ever u HAVE to. Wattstax can pay u the flight, he is rich. ;)
regarding me and Macocchan: in a very eerie coincidence, after all these past months (don't remember anymore when was my first Passpo one-man. one year before? two? whatever) that sunday I finally decided to talk with Macocchan. and she was very nice with me, gotta admit it. (sounded a little fake but I was expecting it, np. yeah she was nicer than Nachu, but that's not an accomplishment. nowadays I think even a sex doll would be more friendly to me than my own oshimen :cry: why I didn't pick Sako as my oshimen back then? dammit)
so we started to joke that meeting me was the reason that made her pull the gun now. :P some people could even argue that it's not so farfetched hypothesis but let's not extend it here so much. :nervous although I was really thinking about opening a thread in 2ch titled like "passenger no minnasan, gomenasai!" talking about this coincidence. just for the lulz. :lol:
btw I talked with Annya for the first time too. (she needs to use less make-up, dear lord!) and talked with Oppaipon. but I wasn't able to tell her everything I planned (the punchline of the joke was missing) so instead of appearing like a pervert, she has now surely a very nice opinion about me. :panic: :panic: :panic:
-
Oppaipon :lol: And I kind of wish Nachu wasn't your favorite, because then I could make fun of her XD But then again, if you chose Sako or Makochan from the beginning, they may have graduated years ago!
If Tobi could pay for my plane ticket, that would be awesome! Thanks so much :P Jk, I actually have enough frequent flyer miles (real miles, not the PASSPO type), although I was saving them for trips in spring and summer, but I can figure that out later. I can handle Japan's winter better than their summer and knowing you guys will be there is really motivating. I have to wait for GEM to announce their Christmas concert w/ SUPER GiRLS before I can seriously think about this (I'm an addict). I guess it worked out that the new iPhones are still sold out over here, otherwise I would have blown my budget.
It looks like there are several options for tickets (arena standing, balcony 1-3, and photo/video seating). Which ones did you guys choose? Knowing Caio, definitely free standing, but then I'm also remembering the unfortunate glasses incident.
-
You can still make fun of Nachu. Caio does the same :smhid I think, she is lovely girl. She just treats him like he deserves :twothumbs
You also want to come in Spring and Summer next year? We have to synchronise our schedule then! Seriously!!
The Super Girls Show sounds nice too.
I also would need a new iPhone, as mine is pretty low on battery duration. But I don't want to spend the money right now for obvious travel reasons. Me being rich would be nice ;)
We got ourselves Arena Standing tickets. I have my new glasses and I succeeded to bring them unharmed to the Blaze show. So hopefully all works out :D But I will never again stand in the front middle! On the sideline is fine though!
And Caio, a friend on Twitter pointed me to the Idol Koushien on 01.11.2014. Even Next is there. And your 'new' Natsumi ;P
http://idolkoushien.com/fes_20141101/
Just that it coincides with the Akasaka Blitz Festival. You have to make a tough decision :lol:
-
c'mon Shaun, don't treat me like if I were one of those adolescents that get all emotional if you make a joke (or a criticism) around their favorite girl (or group). ;) you can make fun of Nachu whenever you like, specially since she is a girl so easy to poke at. :nervous yeah we are obviously going to the arena standing area, I want to mosh like if it were a BiS show, baby! :twisted:
I saw about this Idol Koushien, looks nice but no way I'm going to it. Passpo + Hime Kyun + Chu-Z >>>> Tsuki to Taiyou + Hime Kyun + Next Shojo. Akasaka is closer to my home than Shin-Kiba too.
oh, and one more thing: Tsuki to Taiyou's Natsumi >>>> Passpo's Natsumi. :P :P :P
-
Well, you still have to talk to her. Maybe she is even worse :P
-
I doubt. I'll be bold now: if I talk with her and she treats me worse than Nachu, I promise that I'll NEVER say a bad thing about Nachu again in my life. you can print this. 8)
my blog entry about this Passpo concert is ready to be uploaded. in the meantime, all hail the works of this guy on twitter:

Yeah, I know :) I'm the same way.
Ok, that's a lie, I'm totally protective of GEM :twisted:. But what I find amusing about Natchu (the PASSPO one) isn't anything against her personality, it's her dancing which I think is hilarious. Sometimes I'll just watch her to amuse myself, like "I wonder what Natchu's up to" and then I'll have to find her, since they usually put her in the back. There is a classic video of what I'm talking about, it's several years old though, and I finally found it but the youtube account was deleted. It was basically her walking off stage while the rest of the group was holding a pose... and then she realized it, stumbled back in line, and posed the wrong way :lol:
And I hope there's moshing. If I go I need to redeem myself for not being a crazy wota for Houkago Princess (although to my credit, even though I'm a fan, I don't know them that well XD). For GEM I'm a totally different person 8) Although for a graduation concert, once the "graduation" part begins and the members start crying non-stop, I dare you to mosh then!
Anyway I should be able to go, but I won't know for a while. Although it's not like the holidays are that far away.
edit: I just realized Tobi has a blog! That's awesome! Kind of ironic, I was actually thinking the other day that he should. But now I feel like an idiot for not knowing sooner :P. I wish I didn't have a massive paper to write, which I haven't even started and is due in two days, but I'll definitely check it out asap.
-
well, maybe becuz I`m already used to some really not very talented groups (trying to be polite), I don't have so much problem with her poor dancing. it makes me feel closer to her since I'm a poor dancer too. :lol:
about blogging, only a few weeks ago (when I entered and left some comments there) I discovered that you had a blog too. rofl never payed attention that your sign had a link. when I have some free time I'll start trolling on the comments of your blogs, guys. stay aware :P
-
If you want a poor dancer, watch Rioton from Babyraids. Compared to her, Nachu is Annya level.
-
off topic:
I entered in Wattstax's blog and... why it has an Annya color background, not Yukky? :P
saw you put a link to my blog there, I'll link your (and Shaun's) blog in mine later, too. so I don't forget to visit them from time to time. :nervous
I'll try to read all the TIF reports you guys made and write mine soon, sucking info from yours. :grin:
on topic:
I'm in Passpo's mail listing and yesterday I received one of their regular mails. as expected, this time it was Macocchan who wrote it. she told two things I thought were interesting enough to share here: 1- she says she had been privately thinking about leaving the group for around THREE YEARS already. this explains a lot, imo, regarding her behavior. now it makes perfect sense why she was most of the time with an uninterested look, when I paid attention to her through these years. 2- she says her dream will be to appear in some dorama and have Passpo playing as the theme song in it. not so farfetched, imo. would be cool, definitely.
-
Just saw that this got uploaded to SoftBank's YouTube channel.
ソフトバンク スマホ守護女子高生スマガールズ「つながりやすさを守れ!」篇 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt-H3rTEU-g#ws)
Watched the last half of the 2.5D web show with Anya and Miomio tonight. According to Anya, a while back some annoying guy was trying to hit on Nachu in Shibuya and when she wouldn't give in, he got mad and called her a pig.
Also it seems Anya's mom is a bit of a drunk.
Mio drank some disgusting milk/yogurt/natto/okra/gyoza drink but she got an early birthday cake and a tiara at the end.
-
Thanks for the info. Will try to find it on youtube. Although I won't understand a thing :D
Was it a passenger, who hit on Nachu?
-
From what I understood, it was the typical scumbag kinda guy who hangs around Shibuya and hits on girls. This guy was particularly persistent (and he must have been having a terrible day) if he exploded at Nachu when Anya said she was trying to be as polite as possible.
POPOPO should have it up on YouTube in a few days.
Mio was so cute with her tiara!
-
I would be pretty pissed too if I got turned down by someone as Nachu. talk about lowering the standards and even then failing. holy shit. :doh:
if he went after Yukky he could have gotten a happy ending... :roll:
ps: before someone makes a joke here, no, I was not the guy. ... ... ... ... not that I remember, at least. :P
-
Don't worry. Noone will think, it was you. Mixedmedia wrote, that she declined this weirdo as politely as possible. Nachu wouldn't be that kind to you :P
And regarding Yucky, I must disagree. She has the highest standards. Why else would her lines be the shortest? :D
And I be one of her passengers? ;)

Greetings Passpo fans,
I just got into this group recently..the first thing that struck me as I was checking out the members' profiles...
Is it just me, who finds Sakotee a dead ringer for Berryz Koubou's Captain, Shimizu Saki?
(http://runchiarun43.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/tumblr_lhpn9mhgcs1qge7aro1_500.jpg)
(http://apopidols.org/static/img/BeKovkNCAAEy6Pp.jpg)
Could Sako & Saki be possibly related..even distantly, perhaps? :shocked:
Even Sako's voice, manner of speaking, mannerisms is somewhat similar to Captain. Maybe Sako is Saki's long-lost sister?

Having seen Sakoti up close before but never being that much into Berryz to look at "Captain" that closely, maybe there's a bit of similarity around a little around the eyes/nose or even the way they smile with their mouths closed? Sakoti is tiny and since Captain is 10cm shorter, she must look downright microscopic up close (exaggeration, but still).
So, I noticed that Naomi started an Instagram a few months ago http://instagram.com/naomichaaaan (http://instagram.com/naomichaaaan)
And it seems like Yuukkii started one too http://instagram.com/yuukiistagram (http://instagram.com/yuukiistagram)
But this week Morishi http://instagram.com/mori_shiori (http://instagram.com/mori_shiori)
and Mio http://instagram.com/mio006 (http://instagram.com/mio006)
and Nachu http://instagram.com/nachudayooo (http://instagram.com/nachudayooo) did as well
Hopefully, all the members eventually get one too? Unfortunately, there's no way to confirm (on Instagram) if that's actually them, but since they've been Tweeting (can be confirmed since Twitter has that little blue confirmation badge thing) with links to the accounts, I guess I'll accept that it is their own accounts for now.

Hi!
About macochan's graduation, I'm a little sad, but I think that everyone was aware about this. Since a moment she wasn't talking about the group activities but about her own activities (emissions, photos....). Also her role was less important in the latest songs. So it's not very a surprise.
The group will probably stay like that for a moment, since they all started to play instruments (more or less importants :D).
About Sako and Saki, they are not so similar (eyes and mouth are slightly differents). They are just young and cute Japaneses girls.
About Instagram accounts : yes, they are officials.
Mio started her account since a moment and announced it on Twitter, and then Naomin, Yucky, Natchu and Morishi started one (in this order), and they announced it on twitter too.
To finish, iIwould like to share with what will probably be the photo of the next album ("5 Shunen Kinen Best", coming December 10), and a new uniform ^^ :
(http://195.154.108.76/passpo.png)
-
imo, this is probably their worst uniform EVER. dunno if they look like clowns or measles patients. :banghead:
-

Completely agree. I understand the anniversary concept, but this uniform makes them look more idolish then they ever been. I can already imagine the Tour Shirt, they will make out of it :smhid
Morishi looks nice, though. But why is Aipon only put at the side? :huhuh
-
oh they are supposed to look like anniversary cakes? :lol: man, it keeps getting worse... rofl
they should have made a pink outfit in Macocchan`s homage. they could even save some money re-using that pink uniform from years ago. :P
-
I still consider the pink uniform as one of their best. ;)
But it is an anniversary show, not a graduation show (officially). So your idea with cake costume isn't that bad. Just get everyone the same Nachu had for her birthday. Just imagine: 9 cakes dancing on stage! Maybe this would even 'gain' them some fans of Chubbyness :lol:
-
if the plan is selling out all tickets and attracting more fans... they should do like Afilia recently, changing the outfit style completely and making the girls show more skin. ;) the smaller the best. :twothumbs (ps: if Oppaipon used that formerly Nachu's lingerie... the group would beat even AKB in sales :fap )
-
Well, after taking a look at their new member shirts, I doubt that they have any creativity in design for costumes :shocked
http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-11941873823.html (http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-11941873823.html)
Afilia style would rock! Or getting them as support act :D
-
I'm guessing they're going for the Yayoi Kusama (the old lady famous for putting polka dots on everything) thing?
Those shirts look tragically bad.
Regardless of the new uniforms, I expect Anya to twirl fast enough that her belly will be visible when she does.
-
I don't remember PASSPO ever wearing belly free uniforms. Please enlighten me! But I could see Annya enjoying that :lol:
The should expand their airline theme from 'stewardesses at work' to 'stewardesses in holiday', allowing them different (and individual) costumes.

Good point there. :thumbup the polka dots can create a kind of visual illusion to mask any otherwise-obvious signs of weight gain over the festive season/winter. A tactically astute move :twisted:
-
Their uniform isn't that bad! The only problem is that... thing (yes there's no other word for that) on their neck! But except that, it's okay!
And they will probably not use it really often (for the moment, they still have no accessories to show their color). It's a uniform like you can see on they two best of albums.
To me, their tee shirt (the one looking like the himawari uniform) are really worst than this uniform!
To talk about news, seems that PASSPO have a new contract with Beats. Yucky, Morishi, Aipon and Makocchan posted some photos on twitter and instagram with their headphones today.
Oh and since a few week, PASSPO came back in the French/Japanese TV show "Japan in Motion" :
Yucky and Sakoti two weeks ago : http://noco.tv/emission/14902/nolife/japan-in-motion/s11e05-les-pink-babies-a-hiroshima-le-retour-des-passpo (http://noco.tv/emission/14902/nolife/japan-in-motion/s11e05-les-pink-babies-a-hiroshima-le-retour-des-passpo)

This week, it's also Aipon and Annya (released soon)
You can watch it for free during one month.

All the Beats stuff today seemed odd since the staff Twitter posted a video of Anya and Mio in a video for Ultimate Ears yesterday.
PASSPO☆ 「こんなに入ってくるもん?」玉井杏奈イヤホン作る!<作成編>増井みお (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHvgq4HjMb8#ws)
Then again, custom fit in-ear monitors are completely different than the overpriced status symbols that are Beats. If they got a deal then good for them. Those things sell themselves.
I recall seeing Anya spin so fast one time that I could see her belly button when they were wearing the Himawari uniforms which have a kind of high belt/waist.
Here's some footage of her spinning around while cooking/eating yakisoba in case I can't find a clip of what I was talking about.

@mixedmedia
Few weeks ago, Miomio shows (twitter, again) her in-ear monitor. It was already tat stuff.
But since it's two differents products (only headphone for Beats, no other stuff), isn't impossible that they have contracts for both of them (lots of people have both).
And also, each member only have one of these products (for the moment).
Also, some people feel uncomfortable with one or the other of the products (have to say that in-ear isn't what I prefer :/ )
-
yep that baby blue shirt from last tour is horrible. and so are these new shirts. too simple or too similar to the previous or just plain atrociously ugly. my reaction to some of them

To bad it is winter. Makes it hard to make out passengers really wearing Nachu's shirt. Or Naomins, with the panties on the back. Do they even think of the wotas who have to wear this? Or are they making fun of them. That again would be kind of cool. ;)
The fan girling is nice. Makes you wonder a bit if she likes her stay in PASSPO :D
-
Meh. Hopefully they still have some of those KISS-inspired black Ts since i bought the wrong size at TIF.
Apparently Yukkii went and ate a giant burger in Shinjuku earlier.

I haven't followed them that closely on Twitter in the past (because I'm a DD that follows pretty much ALL the idols on Twitter) but I want to see Morishi in a beer commercial soon! http://instagram.com/p/uaYbzPqrUH/ (http://instagram.com/p/uaYbzPqrUH/)
@Akokyuu true, it's pretty much a free for all when it comes to people marketing/promoting stuff in Japan. I'm just glad it's getting colder so I can wear my "air traffic controller" over ear headphones again. Although I'm sure the price of UEs will make me want to cry, I like earphones with the loop because they help them stay in the ear when moving around. If anyone wants at least 2 pairs of never used iPhone/iPod earbuds, let me know.

Oh man I think I'm falling for Sakotee :heart: :heart:... and knowing the fact that she fangirls over Haropuro makes her even more endearing to me. (runs off to find more video clips of Sako)

Sakoti was well enough to perform tonight at Akasaka Halloween but Makocchan wasn't there because she had something else. Was a bit strange seeing them with 8 members. They were all dressed as Waldo (from "Where's Waldo?" or as he is called in Japan, Wally) thanks to Yukkii.
Very few people can pull off high-waisted shorts IMO but Yukkii is definitely one of them. Be on the lookout for photographic proof (as long as the photogs in Akasaka Blitz weren't slacking) soon!
Set List
1. Step & Go
2. Candy Room
3. Sakura Komachi
4. Wanted
5. Kucha Love
6. Himawari
There was even a small mosh pit during Himawari!
-
Here you can see a bit of Yucky in her costume:
https://twitter.com/morishixsmilin/status/528713131329982464 (https://twitter.com/morishixsmilin/status/528713131329982464)
Although I oshi her, I am glad not seeing the group in this clothes perform. Don't like the glasses and some of their hair styles. But it is nice to see them in different clothing for a show, other than their uniform. And it is belly free.
Was anything different without Makaochan, performance wise? The tracklist had no Mako-heavy song, as I can see.
Few days before they even performed with only seven members, when Sacotee was ill. I was always wondering what they would do live if Aipon or Morishi were ill.
Mosh Pit? Not mine. I already struggle with the Step&Go left-and-right running :lol:
Have you seen the new shirts and hoodies they sell on tour now? Designed by Mio again. The hoodie is okay, with a skeleton in flight attendant uniform. Though it looks a bit cartoony. But the shirts and a towel has a shark motive. What is the connection between a shark and PASSPO?

And does this say anything about getting tickets? I want to go there :w00t:

You need to see Yukkii dressed like that from the side for the best results, probably. Hopefully there will be some on stage shots soon. It's a long weekend here in Japan (tomorrow is Culture Day, a national holiday). I was pretty amazed since I remember seeing her with that giant burger on Twitter a while back.
Didn't get to check out the goods tables since they had different groups selling goods at different times. http://www.akasakahalloween.jp/1101.html (http://www.akasakahalloween.jp/1101.html)
Hime Kyun Fruit Can was on and they were dressed as maids so I didn't make it down to check the PASSPO table in time.
I bought the event shirt and some iron-on patches on the way out though. http://www.akasakahalloween.jp/goods.html (http://www.akasakahalloween.jp/goods.html)
Perhaps it was because I was a little hungover but, I could have sworn that they said the set of 24 patches was only 6000 yen and it flew over my head.
The second link just says mobile members have priority to get tickets right now. Regular ticket sales should start soon. I wonder who else will get added to the evening show or if they'll just do more songs. Since when is Shiichan a DJ?
As someone who hasn't paid much attention to Makocchan, I didn't notice too much different. I barely even noticed that Nachu was there to be honest. Sorry Nachu fans!
-
Hehe, you mean the pic where her belly looked pregant? Reminded me of her post when she was eating a giant gyoza :lol:
Well, idols in maid uniforms always have priority. I get that ;) Who are those guys anyway? Male idols? Or just moderators? But so many?
Patches are new for me. Never saw those.
Ah, thanks. I presume their will be more groups coming. Though I would prefer longer sets, as I really like all the groups there and don't need any more. Would be great for akushukai events and such as well.
Well, I never got those DJ thing. What does a DJ anyway? It's not like playing a instrument like a guitar or drums.
Makochan never made an impression live to me as well. But she has some of her 'own' songs, like 'Pink no Parachute' or 'Kimi Iro no Samba'. And well, Nachu - is Nachu. I mostly only see her when Annya teases her again. :P
-
Link to the gyoza challenge: http://ima.goo.ne.jp/column/article/1481.html (http://ima.goo.ne.jp/column/article/1481.html)
I went there with a friend when he tried to take on the giant gyoza. He also failed. That thing is ridiculously big and you need to order it 2 days in advance. 9,000 yen but you get it back if you can eat it all in an hour.
I meant that fans of Yukkii's curves will want to see her in those shorts. Most girls look like they're wearing diapers or "mom jeans" when they try to do the high waist thing that is allegedly in fashion.
"Those guys" were Japanese comedians so between the performances they'd come on and do their bits. I took advantage of that time to go to the restroom or walk around a bit.
There was a machine to put the patches on the shirts but I said I'd just do it later. Until I went up to the table, I thought they were pin badges (which I would have totally bought all of them if they were). Oh well, it's just money and I've spent more for less before.
Looks like Makocchan was doing a Dangan Ronpa play with Fujie Reina and Ishida Haruka and the last day is tomorrow. http://www.cornflakes.jp/dangan/cast/ (http://www.cornflakes.jp/dangan/cast/) But true Makocchan fans would have known that already right?
Annya slapped Nachu in the butt and then "threw" it into the crowd at one point.
I know a few DJs who are actually good but it seems like anyone is saying they are a DJ now. Aside from basic mixing of the songs to ensure seamless transitions, the hard part seems to be knowing what songs to play at the right time. I'm not expecting most so-called DJs to be making live remixes or doing any crazy scratching or beat juggling though. In the right hands, turntables, drum machines, mixers, etc. can be like an instrument but it seems like a lot of people just press play and wave their hands and throw cakes into the crowd.
-
One hour? :shocked
I know what you mean. Especially since the cut of the regular uniform isn't perfect for her. Damn, I missed something then...
Ah, comedians. You chose the best alternative with taking a walk then, I guess :D
Annya "threw" what in the crowd? Nachu? :lol:
Well, I have close to none respect for electronic music. So I wouldn't know. Even though Yucky does act as a DJ as well in the band version. But all is better than playing a tambourine, I presume. :lol:
Who is your fave by the way, if there is any?
-
You missed out on some Yukkii booty (by Japanese standards anyway)!
She whacked Nachu in the butt and then "threw" the smell into the crowd. Interpret that as you will.
Anya was the first one I noticed since she wore glasses way back when they started and then I kind of wasn't following them for a few years due to the "48 group" vortex I was in.
For "favorites" it's probably tied between Anya and Morishi but I do like Naomi, Yukkii, Sakoti, and Mio a bit now too. Met a girl who's working on producing an idol group of her own and she was visibly disappointed when I didn't say my favorite was Mio (which was hers). Anyways, I need to watch more.
Impressions thus far:
Anya: mischievous
Morishi: tomboy, looks like fun to go drinking with
Aipon: girly and sexy
Naomi: outgoing and fashionable
Sakoti: a bit plain but works hard
Yukkii: the older sister
Mio: otaku little sister
Nachu: a little too "my pace", she looks a bit like Noro Kayo (AKB48/SDN48)
Makocchan: cute but seems like she could be high maintenance
Just my opinions so far so they can change.
Anyway, here's a short clip of Sakoti and Suzuki Airi from ℃-ute!!!

AKB? Hm...
I understand your trouble in deciding on a specific girl. I can relate to every member as well. But I must praise you for your impression on the girls: You nailed it! Only want to add, that Sacotee may seem like that at first, but after specifically watching and talking to her, she made on of the best impressions ever. But that is just my opinion. And I refrain from rating their fashion sense. I have some doubts about it. Must write about it some day.
Well anyway, let's drink a beer some time with Morishi together :lol:
-
Hi I'm just another dirty weeaboo trash who barely even speak Japanese, may I ask is there a way to send presents to a Passpo member ? Like an adress where to send those or something. Just asking.

Apart from giving presents to them directly during events or before concerts in the 'presento box' I have no idea. Best way would be to send it to their record company, I guess. But don't know.

mh ok, I think I'll ask their web page or something.

Well, I beg to differ with regards to Sakoti, my friend. Sako may not be attractive with a charm much like Aipon (sexy and girlish), but I'm drawn to her somehow...maybe because unlike Aipon, she has that "girl next door" quality and appeal that I'm so loving. Not too overpoweringly beautiful or oozing with sex appeal, but cute and approachable. She's one of the girls you could realistically ask out on a fun date and go steady with as a girlfriend at some point (maybe because I could relate to her type.. I dunno). Somebody who shared the same opinion as me once said Sakoti would make a good wife, though Aipon would prolly make a better mistress (sorry Aipon fans, pls dun kill me)
After watching her in this clip, I couldn't agree more...
http://youtu.be/rZYspIcTqmM (http://youtu.be/rZYspIcTqmM)
But that being said, when she does goof off, its pretty entertaining...so yeah...I wouldn't call her personality bland or plain...she's calm and composed, stable for the most part, but she could be crazy backstage goofing off with the other crewmates too!
Sakoti's Antics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB_Exalmtvk#ws)
As a group, PASSPO crew are really awesome and this group is really growing on me...hope to catch one of their flights someday.
-
@bluewind
My thoughts exactly. Great summary and analysis!
-
Did not expect so much backlash to such a short first impression about Sakoti. I meant no disrespect.
She definitely has the "girl next door" or "cute girl at work that becomes more attractive as you really get to know her" thing going on. While I do ask people why they like their favorites, it's mainly because maybe they can let me know about something I haven't noticed yet.
I went down to Village Vanguard to get the free paper that Sakoti writes for but it didn't have the interview with Suzuki Airi in it. I'll go check again tomorrow.
As a hopeless DD who doesn't have one group, much less one member that I can fully commit to, I guess I'm pleased that more serious fans said I came sort of close to understanding what the crew of PASSPO is like. Anyway, so much to watch/hear and not enough time to do it!

What is the connection between a shark and PASSPO?
talk about bad memory. =P dont you remember their Tv program, where they had to learn baseball? shark was the mascot of their team, which, if i remember correctly, was named "shark9".
-
^
Isn't the programme called Shaku Uma TV? Man, I just finished watching all the episodes last week and I'm already wishing they would have another challenge-type TV shows like that for Passpo.
Speaking of these kinda shows, does anyone know if there are any full episodes of the show where Passpo was squaring off against each other in paintball, wearing Army outfits and all? Can't seem to find it on youtube.
Regarding the crew/members, I'm sure everyone of us have their preferred member so please dun consider it a backlash or feel offended. For me, it just so happens that the girl who is understated and did not stand out the most, (Sako-chan) who first caught my eye as far as this group is concerned. For others, one may prefer the hyper and genki Morishi, or Aipon, even Yucky. Personally, like I said, all of them are still growing on me and I have no doubt I will find more endearing qualities of every members and will start to love every one of them. It is sad though that Makocchan, the frail-looking but talented crew member is gonna be graduating soon, just as I'm entering Passpo's fandom. But I guess the group will move on to bigger things even without the talents of Makoto.
-

No bad memory at all - never saw it :P I hate Baseball. I would have watched if they had played football (the European version).
So my statement stands: Not fond of this shark. Won't buy!
And guys, as a prevention measure: calm down regarding Sacotee or whoever. No one bad mouthed her. Even if, each his own - and me the best :D
Sorry mixedmedia...
Instead let is talk about all the Greatness that is Yucky! ;) jk
The chances for a new TV program are slim. To expensive (and useless) for a group like PASSPO. They are no biggies. And the Makochan graduation makes everything even more unstable.
-
No worries. I'm never too serious, especially since I'm a DD and can't possibly remember details about every member of every group. Any recommendations or testimonials are welcome.
Regardless of the baseball theme, Shaku Uma seemed pretty boring. On the other hand, Muriyari PASSPO is pretty interesting so far. I'd much rather they just keep doing web shows which can be watched again on YouTube instead of worrying about getting another TV show that's on in the middle of the night.
If anyone's going through Shibuya Station, there's a big billboard with Aipon facing the Shinjuku/Ikebukuro bound Yamanote trains. Was too self-conscious to snap a pic the last few times I was there (morning after Halloween) because it was so crowded and I was dead tired. Sorry.

Glad that we can move on...
That instagram of hers XD
I wonder if Yukki really realized the meaning of YUCKY in English written to refer to herself in one of the purikura she took :roll: (does anybody plan on telling her? :shakeit:)
And that Morishi...I gotta have what she's smoking, man..it must be some powerful stuff to get that real high all day long. Miomio is awesome with her self-deprecating humour...and Annya...what can I say...the prankster of the crew. there's an incredible chemistry within this group. So many videos...so little time.
-
I doubt that any japanese idol ever will understand english. If they could, they won't be idols :D
So no, I don't tell her. Have to make a better impression next time. The last was unsafisfying.
-
Looks like Friday's web show from 2.5D at PARCO will be a good one. The Hacchake-tai (Morishi, Naomin, Yukkii, and Nachu) will be appearing!
-
Splendid. But it is 12 at noon in my country...Have to find a way.
You can watch it as a free viewer, can't you?
-
You can watch via some link on the 2.5D site IIRC or just wait for POPOPOPOPOPO to upload it to YouTube...
-
i think POPOPOPOPOPOPO should receive a salary for all the work he does promoting the group. even bigger than Oppaipon`s. and no, i`m not kidding.
okay, i exaggerated a little. Oppaipon has some "special attributes" to guarantee her a better one. :roll:

Thanks, but I think I'll pass.
Anyway, speaking of food-related stuffs, here's Miomio again, this time battling Sakotee.
Sakotee vs Miomio bento battle
[HD] 130403 GiRLPOP TV PASSPO☆ (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xytg47)
Sheesh, it's so painful to see my sweet Sakotee break down and cry (around 10mins into the clip). :cry:
-
Reminder: November 8 is Morishi's birthday, November 10 is Sakoti's birthday and November 18 is Makocchan's birthday!

Annya, why are u hitting Sakotee?!! :smhid

Yo, already thinking of tweets to them.
-
Ended up going to tonight's 2.5D Good Luck Stream aka #PASSTREAM event and it was great!
Morishi showed off her knowledge of French fries from different fast food places.
Yukkii showed off her cardboard box art skills.
Naomin's hair looked great.
Nachu was Nachu.
They also did a Garigarikun eating relay.
The broadcast ended with a short live performing Hacchake-tai songs and the fans were going crazy as the doors closed!
Check it out as soon as POPOPOPOPOPOPO uploads it!
-
^
French fries? :roll: More like Morishi's gonna be having a heck of a hangover tomorrow morning. :P2
(Did she say anything about getting drunk tonite, I wonder?)
-
I figure since they have a flight in Yokohama on Saturday, she'll be drinking a bit after that?
Apparently, Morishi eats fries every day. If she didn't get the answers correct, they were saying as a punishment, she couldn't eat fries for a month/year. She was practically giving a clinic on how the fries taste different at different fast food places.
If I remember correctly, the next one will have: Aipon, Sakoti, Nachu, and Makocchan on November 28th or something like that.
-
I almost went there yesterday :(
but decided to see the Up Up Girls release event near the Tokyo Dome instead, because it was free. ;)
and Sekki is mai waifu.
-
I don't blame you. The UUG event at Tokyo Dome seemed pretty awesome!
Besides, if I recall, you like Makocchan anyway and she wasn't there.
-
nooooooooooo
I like Nachu. well, I liked. hmmm still like, but not the same way as before. argh skip it! :lol:
-
Mhh by the way what's #PASSTREAM exactly ? I saw one of it and there was even a French Fan speaking to the crew with a webcam and such.
-
tsutomo, would it help to see Nachu groping Makocchan after yesterday's Yokohama show?
http://youtu.be/LrMfnd-2kvA (http://youtu.be/LrMfnd-2kvA)
#PASSTREAM is a web program like Showroom. The one with the French guy was the first episode. This week they had a fan from Hong Kong but the bulk of it was Nachu, Morishi, Naomin, and Yukkii being wild and crazy. Compared to the first episode, it seems to be getting better.
-
Are the fans, selected at random or it's like "first one to come first served" or something ?
edit : concerning the video : wtf, does every girl grope each other regularly and casually or what ?
-
^
That's what's great about them. The groping makes the backstage vid footage much more interesting and crazier that you'll end up looking up more about each members.
And yes...
wattstax, do you take THIS WOMAN to be your lawfully-wedded wife? :inlove:

-
If you watch them onstage, especially Anya, you will see that the groping is not limited to just backstage.
Fynmorph, do you want to do an overseas chat on a future show?
I know I'll never get picked because 1) I'm not "overseas" now, 2) I look Japanese, 3) I can speak Japanese decently enough to arouse suspicion that I might be a "plant". Nor would I be interested in being picked since I don't want to be on camera.
Looks like they should have switched overseas fans. Makocchan fan is on when she's not there just like how Yukkii wasn't there when the French guy was on! Seems super random, or maybe it's on purpose?
http://youtu.be/O8DsQNBO9pI (http://youtu.be/O8DsQNBO9pI)
Apparently, all Makocchan fans should know the word ダイオウグソクムシ Daioh Gusoku Mushi (Giant Isopod) because she thinks it's cute. It's a definite reason that she isn't my favorite crew member. Don't hate me.
I guess @ykm_mtkra was Yukkii's old username? I only know her as @yuukiistagram.
So dumb of me watching it again after midnight. Feel like going to the 24 hour McD for fries again...
-
Mh I'm just wondering how the show works.
-
wattstax, do you take THIS WOMAN to be your lawfully-wedded wife? :inlove:
With pleasure and without second thoughts :lol:
I actually like the Great Isopod, as it reminds me of those extinct creatures Trilobits. Still I find it anything else but 'Cho kawaii'...
Yeah, the groping. Still remember the latest Shinjuku Blaze show fondly (Insider).
Aren't there better 24h food chains around yoiur place, like Wendy's?
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY SWEET, Lovely girl next door SAKOTEE! :hip smile: 21 years already huh.

Looks like Anya's not the type to put up with Mako's crap like the others so far. She even had her making the okonomiyaki.
Been to that place in Osaka and it is pretty amazing! Will definitely go again (even if they hadn't gone there).
Need to find that takoyaki place in Sangenjaya later. Looks like Nachu would be fun to drink with too.
-
I'm not really a Mako fan, but just from watching that clip its obvious Annya doesnt really get along that well with her. Maybe not hate her or anything, but just not feeling the chemistry between the 2...as opposed to maybe Annya-Mio-Sakotee relationship
-
Man, Annya really seems to like her H&M sweater. She practically wore it all the time over the last few weeks.
Makochan looks much better now than in the recent clip with Yukki.
And great to see there is oil for the hot plate. I didn't know about it last time :roll: Which part of Osaka is it by the way? Didn't recognize it.
But the impression of Annya not liking Mako may result from the fact, that they don't really interact with each other here, instead more talking with the camera man / manager(?).
-
Just found out about an uploader of PASSPO stuff: Passpo☆TV since they uploaded Hacchake Sensation from the 2.5D show.
Finally (even though it's 360p) another video of WANTED!
PASSPO☆ - WANTED!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq5fIciHqF8#ws)
The quality of the upload for Wing is better though. And onstage groping/fan service.
http://youtu.be/QWog17KkiC4 (http://youtu.be/QWog17KkiC4)
Sorry if already posted.
Chigusa is in Tenjinbashi. Every July they have a "Gal Mikoshi" which is basically a lot of young girls carrying around and shaking those portable shrines in painfully hot summer weather.
Any clips of Anya x Sakoti?
I own too much Uniqlo so maybe it's time to mix it up with some H&M?
-
Makocchan haters :(
-
I don't like H&M. Maybe because here everyone wears it.
And thanks for telling about the location in Osaka.
But what is the meaning of Makochan haters?
It is interesting to see how different Mako can be - f.e. mischievious / jokingly with Yukki and here more shy and passive.
-
Though I'm not really into Makocchan, I wanna stress here that I don't hate her. For all you know, she is just acting spoilt when in the presence of Morishi and Yukky, you know, kinda like how you can normally be your REAL SELF when you're with a really close friend you've known for years and share a lot of history together, as compared to just being a normal friend. I think to Makocchan, she considers Anna the latter. From the videos we could see Annya hangs out more with Mio and Sako...maybe because their personalities complement each other (and Annya can act "spoilt/childish" in the presence of the older two. Well, at least this is just how I figured...I could be wrong. :P2
-
YES!! POPOPO has just uploaded another Passpo Pre-Flight Show.
This time, featuring my wife Sakotee and her two crazy friends. I really love this trio (Annya-Sako-Mio combi is the best, at least for me)

I would assume, Sako too.

You're right about Sako, wattstax...she did mention this in passing when replying to a passenger's question. So that Makita Journal might not be totally a coincidence. For all we knew, she's working towards a a Journalism degree:

Thanks for the heads up. Finally some show I can watch live again.

Morishi tweeted that Sako will not be joining the Good luck stream due to poor health. Bummer :(
-
Yeah. I was basing it on old info before it got updated. Sorry.
-
The talk with the american girl is kind of embarrasing :lol:
-
It's painful to watch. How is this person in charge of an idol event when their Japanese is so terrible!?!?! Thank god it's over! Nachu's attempts at English were pretty hilarious though.
At least we get this "pretend date" footage with Aipon? Next time I'm in Sangenjaya, I'm going to that Subway!
-
My thoughts excactly. Even my Japanese is better. Their Japanese questions were't that hard. But I liked the english attempts done by all the girls. Good enough to be understandable.
Cool, Sangenjaya? My next hotel is near there. Probably go there too. 8)
-
How in the world was she claiming to be the head of a Japanese event in the US if her Japanese was soooo terrible? I guess anyone can say they are anything on the Internet? Here's the page for the event. http://www.idolmatsuri.com/ (http://www.idolmatsuri.com/) Aside from Halko Momoi, Aither, RYUtist, and DJ Amaya, the list of performers looks kinda blah.
I totally forgot to check that the show ended at 8:30 (usually ends at 9) and went to SUBWAY to get a sandwich.
Whoever put a copyright claim on the 11.20 Showroom can go die in a fire! I hadn't watched it yet and there's that thing where they muted the audio!!!!!
Hurry up and watch this week's Showroom before some petty jerk has the audio yanked from this one too! 3/4ths of the Hachakke-tai: Morishi, Naomi, and Nachu.

PASSPO☆ - 「TRACKS」 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIkrrfu22r0#ws)
-
I like the first minute of the video, before they switch location to the park. Very beautiful captured with all the slow-mo's..
-
I wonder why they didn't fade out on Makocchan but halfway through one of Sakoti's lines. Special tactic? Random coincidence? Is it just me or is the video for this song not listed on the DVD for the album? Seems like a waste since they spent the money to make it.
2nd best farewell song I've seen this year after "Mikaeri Bijin".
-
^ It's a random coincidence because it's a cut version of the video as it usually is when it's from the record label.
And yes it appears as if it's not an extra on any of the special editions so maybe they are saving it for the next real CD, this one is just Greatest hits.
-
So Makocchan lives near Sugamo (aka Harajuku for grannies) it seems.

Stalker Guide?
-
Man, I was literally tearing up while watching the TRACKS short MV. Always hated graduations ever since I got into idol fandom generally but I guess that song's a good final farewell gift to Makocchan.
-
The Internet can be used to more easily stalk people so, maybe? I guess it definitely sounded like that but I guess since I'm in Tokyo I like to try and figure out where people are filming things, especially if I've been there before.
Saw the full version of "TRACKS". Would have liked to see them use a close-up while Makocchan was singing her final solo lines but still a good video. If the short version got you misty-eyed, the full version might destroy you.
-
No worry. Was just kidding. I do the same with movies or documentaries: Looking for places I know about.
-
Makocchan is so pretty when she's not dressing up like a nerd, I guess she does it so she won't get hit on constantly ;)

Looks like PASSPO is doing events for the release of the album (released tomorrow) starting today. Was gonna go since Ikebukuro is close but it looks like the events get more and more amazing as the week goes on! Today they just hand you the CD when you buy it and a poster.
Aside from the ones with mini-lives, Makocchan is by herself and the rest of the girls are split into 2 groups. The one in Chiba on Saturday might be the best one since it includes a mini-live and handshake/cheki with Makocchan if you buy her version (or something).
-
Yea, read about the events. Too bad it is to early for me. One event was a sign event, if I am correct.
Good luck in choosing your favourite event style ;)
If you hear about events around New Year and the week after, please tell me about it.
-
Aside from the New Year's Day live and Akasaka Blitz on the 10th, they don't seem to have anything else. I'm sure I'll find a ton of stuff that other groups will be doing anyway.
-
Will they stay at "just" 8 members or will they recruit a member from say like Palet when Makocchan leaves?
-
@mixedmedia
yea, I hope for at least handshakes at the 10th then.
@immergeil
They will stay 8 members. Like it was with Kaho back then.
-
January 10th is a mini idol festival where they'll be performing on the same stage as Babyraids, Idoling!!!, Up Up Girls (Kari), Him Kyun Fruit Can, etc.
http://zizoo.jp/yumenoidolmuseum/ (http://zizoo.jp/yumenoidolmuseum/)
You'll probably be able to get a handshake or something when they have their goods table though?
palet was formed with the intent of putting them in PASSPO, no? I feel like they're getting a bit closer to them in sound now that they have some harder songs but I still have no idea what their concept is, considering most groups under Platinum have one (Pre-dia is more mature and sexy, 3min. do 3 minute dance songs and were at Noodol Cafe, FYT are yankii teachers, Band Maid are maids that play instruments). According to their description, they're meant to be more traditional idols, which is probably why they don't really leave a strong impression on me? But I guess at this point, standing out by being "normal" can work too?
-
Yeah I find palet a bit too generic sounding but their latest one with the masked guys playing was... well not as boring :)
That mini festival sounds great, I'm new to the whole idol thing but I do like Babyraids & Him Kyun Fruit Can.
@wattstax, thanks for your answer.
-
The 'disadvantage' of the festival: With the exception of Tokyo Performance Doll I like all the groups more than enough to want to see their live as well as participate as their events. Luckily I see Himekyun and Doll Elements some days earlier already.
But events are important, if groups like Up Up Girls or Babyraids do chekis. It is rare for them. If Passpo does it, it will become even better.
-
This is a few months old but I had to check into it after seeing a billboard with Aipon at Shibuya station and one with Anya near Osaki station (I forget exactly where but it was between Shibuya and Shinagawa).

Does anyone know where I can find the showroom episode of Babyraids featuring Sako and Anna as the guests? Can't seem to find any full clips. Thanks.
-
Looks like the full video for TRACKS is on the DVD that comes with the First Class version of the album. Makocchan's announcement is also on the DVD and about 7 minutes long. I think people weren't as shocked to hear about it since it seemed that's what it was going to be as soon as everyone else went off stage.
Aside from LinQ and the opening acts that I don't know much about, I like just about everyone else appearing on January 10th. Maybe I could go out for a bit during TPD since they seem to do the same set every time.

I agree. I care for every other group there besides them. Did I read it correctly, that events will be held right after the stage performance? So events might interfere with the lives? I at least need to participate with Passpo, as they won't do anything on their New Years Flight or around it. And very important Babyraids, in the hope of chekis! Up Up depends on the type of the event. Probably skip the events Doll Elements and Himekyun, as I will see them some days before.
Both sets will be the same for every group? Anyway, we can greet each other if we see us there. Or not ;)
-
I'm guessing that both sets will be different since idol fans are the type to go to both shows. Can't say for sure since I haven't seen both day and evening shows for PASSPO yet though. Hard decision if I have to pick one since Hime Kyun is coming all the way from Ehime and it's been a while since I've seen Doll Elements...I did go to Backstage a few weeks ago but it was not that great even though it was a Friday evening...we shall see.

Got pulled along to 2.5D again on Friday and saw Hacchake-Tai and Pla2me since there was a "surprise guest", a new group Musubizm making their first public appearance. http://musubizm.asobisystem.com/ (http://musubizm.asobisystem.com/) I guess it was a big deal since Kimura Misa is one of those Harajuku models and she's making her idol debut with a group. They're pretty good in that "they sound a bit like Dempagumi" sort of way but when they're under the same agency as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Tempura Kidz, it's not that surprising.
Pla2me was awesome but some annoying disinterested PASSPO fans were in front of me not even watching the performance. Perhaps part of me being a DD is knowing how hard the idols are trying so I consider it rude to be where they can see you and not paying attention to them.
The PASSPO fans went off when Hacchake-Tai came on. There was a guy with a Yukkii coat (but it was printed and not embroidered) and a guy with a super bright yellow light for Morishi. The temperature must have gone up at least 10 degrees while they were on. With them always talking about doing stuff on their own, I hope they can get more songs and make a video soon. Hopefully POPOPOPO will have it up soon.
-
Thanks from me for always keeping us updated. :thumbsup:
Pla2me was awesome but some annoying disinterested PASSPO fans were in front of me not even watching the performance. Perhaps part of me being a DD is knowing how hard the idols are trying so I consider it rude to be where they can see you and not paying attention to them.
I second that. I always do the same when I happen to see a show of groups I don't really care about. TIF was a good example for it, while waiting already at the stage for another group.
Pla2me is great anyway - if they keep their electronic style.
Not sure about Hachake Tai. There songs / performance are okay and I like the members in it. But I don't really get this sub-unit approach many groups are doing. Even stranger, that Hachake Tai will now be to opening act for the Anniversary Flight.
-
It kind of makes sense though since those 4 are the "hard-drinking party girl older sisters" of the group and groups have had sub-groups since at least Onyanko Club in the 1980's.
I know Hot Stage is where all the big groups get to perform but it's a PITA to get to if you just want to watch one group in between a bunch of others. Moving ANYWHERE is a PITA at Tokyo Idol Festival with the heat and all the stages spread out so far from each other. I'm worried about them being the opening act since PASSPO is gonna try do ALL THEIR SONGS on New Year's Day (and they actually sing, or will they?)! Looks like it might end up being the longest concert I'll have ever gone to for one group if they do. Better get those hi-fi ear plugs because tinnitus isn't something I want.
Off topic: Seems this forum (and a lot of others) aren't that into Pla2me (or any of the other BiS related groups) based on how much is posted but they're missing out! Looks like their "one-man" is the dame day as the Idol Museum event in Akasaka. At the very least, I need to go to one of their release events that have a mini-live just like last time because it was awesome!
Anyway, looks like I have to mail out this thing for TRACKS tomorrow if I want a chance at getting some "signed goods" from a member but seems I can only choose one! Decisions, decisions! Mosishi? Anya? Yukkii? Sakoti? Makocchan (because this would be the last chance)?
Despite seeing Hacchake-tai a few times, I still don't remember Yukkii's name that she uses in the group. I know that Moshishi is "Gen", Naomi is "Zaian", and Nachu is "Nasu" though.
-
:lol:
I've heard about one of Morishi's alias, "Gen". Remember once in a showroom episode they were laughing..was it a funny character Morishi created for herself? And Naomi also has got one more nickname, I think is "Kenya" :P
Whichever one you choose, do tell about the experience. :)
-
If the show is that long, I worry more about my legs and to hold my water :D
Pla2me I will see at Idol Koshien. This time I try to talk to them.
-
I was dying at BiS' final concert and that was "only 3 and a half hours long". I just wonder how the audience will hold up since it's on New Year's Day and people generally drink and stay out all night to countdown the new year and celebrate. I'm guessing PASSPO has more songs than BiS does but that also means there might be some songs I don't like so I can go outside to take a break. Saw that they were doing a "band PASSPO" rehearsal the other day so maybe there will be a few minutes to rest while they get that set up? Will buy the DVD when it comes out anyway.
By all means, talk to Pla2me if you can! Saki is so nice and Mari is adorable! If you like anime, there's something to talk to them about. Even though I told Saki I would go home and watch Kill La Kill, I haven't finished it yet.
Hopefully, I'll be getting something signed by Morishi in a few weeks. I could only pick one and she stuck out the most in my mind having gone to her birthday live in Yokohama and being impressed by her "ability" to tell which potatoes are from which fast food restaurant just by the taste while blindfolded. And she sings pretty good too, IMO.
-
I am not so anime, but I will find something else instead.
Morishi is great. Have you seen Aipon distinguishing different Green Tea flavors?
-
By the way why Step&Go has this f*** ultrasound in the music ?

By the way why Step&Go has this f*** ultrasound in the music ?
Even the one in TRACKS has it.
Are you a bat or something?

I am the Batman.
Don't you hear it at 1:28 ?

Don't you hear it at 1:28 ?
Ah man, come on, that's not ultra-sound! More like around 5 KHz or so, annoying ultra-sound is some chargers that have a whine on the back, or CRT TVs and monitors. These have annoying ultra-sounds.
The one at 1:28 is a guitar squeal you do on harmonics. Play 1st string and touch it around 6th fret lightly with high gain and there it is, this harmonic squeal.
Edit: by the way, I haven't found the same harmonics in TRACKS, what part is it?
-
I feel it's more like from a Larsen Effect. (the fact that that sound only appears once while that music section is played several times enhances that feeling)
-
The sound in STEP & GO is most likely a "pinch harmonic" which is extremely common in hard rock and metal guitar playing. Zakk Wylde was probably most famous for using them a lot when he was with Ozzy.
Apparently, PASSPO was in Santa outfits for last night's fan club event.
New Muriyari!

A Duffy in a Giant isopod costume. I couldn't think of a better gift, just hope she'll receive it and like it.
mhh also i draw and sprite Makocchan sometimes, there's only a subforum for fanfics and not drawings so huh, don't mind if I ditch it here, I just wanted to show them, kind of an anthem.
Some sprites alike to the Advance Wars serie : https://38.media.tumblr.com/bd05fc675ceb3bda1736ced661e672df/tumblr_n9t23s2FkC1r8zb02o1_r6_500.png (https://38.media.tumblr.com/bd05fc675ceb3bda1736ced661e672df/tumblr_n9t23s2FkC1r8zb02o1_r6_500.png) (do you recognize the ouftits ??)

No, I didn't mind the 6 hours standing. Was easier to endure then I thought. Must have been the adrenaline!

wow has been quite some time since my last visit to this forum. :nervous
the two posters from here that were with me in the big TDCH concert already know my opinion about the show... I`ll make later a report about it on my blog... but well, who cares? :lol:
since it`s already an old topic, I`ll only say here that I expected something NEW and BIG (not only regarding duration). since I got none of this, I felt disappointed. not a bad show, but for someone like me that saw so many shows of them already, this looked like just one more ordinary one-man they make every month. and seemed kinda a rushed one in terms of production (or lack of).
but okay, since wattstax told me Nachu got Macocchan`s part in Uhae, I`ll forgive the group. :P

There is a new web-show site which will feature various idols, Passpo will be there on Tuesdays at 22:00 JST.

It looks like it was a place that had microbrews so the beer was probably a bit stronger than normal too.
Saw Naomi at an event for Takenaka Natsumi's (PASSPO's choreographer) book release and she had at least 2 BIG lemon sours and didn't seem affected at all. Since the the theme was comparing idols to Sailor Moon and anime characters, I was kind of disappointed that Naomi got picked over Mio since Naomi doesn't really know about anime.
-
You were there? For PASSPO or the whole event in general?
As often as the girls drink beer, seeing effects on it will take a while now, I am sure ;)
But maybe Naomi got picked because of it as the general audience doesn't know much about it as well?
What is Takenaka-sensei's book about?
-
Was there for the event in general. Takenaka discusses how she sees similar qualities between female idols and anime heroines like Sailor Moon. Another section of the book talks about how female fans of idols enjoy them, sort of a roundtable discussion with other known female idol wota. I think Naomi got picked since she's really close to Takenaka, she was called her "inspiration". Naomi compared the members of PASSPO to characters from some anime I never heard of before; Doremi-chan.
Sakai Hitomi was pretty impressive. She compared the members of Idoling!!! to characters from at least 3-4 different anime and commented "compare the members of PASSPO to characters from Dragon Ball!" I haven't really kept up with Idoling!!! since 4th gen but Sakacchi's talk got me thinking I need to go back.
Anyway, now I know there's a "fancy beer place" in Koenji now. It's a cool area of Tokyo with lots of used clothing stores cheaper than Harajuku or Kichijoji. I think it's known for it's punk music scene and awa odori festival in the summer.

I can't read Japanese but I think Aipon says on her twitter that the next album will be released on May the 13'th

You read correct[emoji6]

And they finally had the official "seitansai" for Anya at the Platinum Sonic "3-man" (PASSPO, palet, predia) on Friday (2/13) so purple lightsticks and handkerchiefs (?) for her. Even though @JAM was the day after her birthday (2/1) at the same venue, I guess because it was someone else's event, it didn't count? Regardless, there was a ton of purple lightsticks that night too.

Hey everyone. First post here. I'm a new Passpo fan. I discovered them last fall. I just loooove the mix of pop vocals and a rock sound. They have so many catchy songs! So far I've purchased One world and Jejejejet. I was tempted to buy one of their shows but they don't have anything on blu ray? That's a little strange...
Anyway, I was really surprised to hear that one of them left recently. My knowledge of Japanese music is limited and I was only aware of one band that had its members graduate, Sakura Gakuin. Now in regards to Passpo, how does the graduation process work? Is it based on how much time they're in the band? or is it based on their age? Will they ever replace the graduating members? It kinda sucks IMO. The current lineup is fantastic. I hate to think that in a few years the lineup might be completely different.

Welcome :)
No graduation is just the term used when someone leaves an idol group on good terms (as opposed to being fired) - it's actually Sakura Gaukuin that is different because in that group graduation literally means they graduate from the group because of their age.
In a few years PASSPO probably won't exist anymore, being a pop-idol is something for young girls, they do it until they either get their dream job like say become an actress or they just go on with their lives getting a normal job, getting married and such.
And since you mention Sakura Gaukin I assume you're the one that pm'ed me on reddit asking for a Passpo site ;)
Also I made a crude writeup on PASSPO on the kawaiimetal reddit -> http://www.reddit.com/r/KawaiiMetal/comments/2w6z14/introduction_to_passpo/ (http://www.reddit.com/r/KawaiiMetal/comments/2w6z14/introduction_to_passpo/)

Hi and welcome Clem84!
Glad to see new fans :).
Hum indeed they don't have blu-ray, but even on DVD, the quality you can have is really poor. They are recording their flights without thinking of lots of details, so the quality isn't really great. Especially for the lights. So we don't really need blu-ray for that kind of images (imo).
About the graduation of the last member (Maccochan), it wasn't the first one. At the beginning PASSPO☆ was composed of 10 girls, and Musshu (Kaho Sakuma) left the group (30/12/2011). Officially it was due to health problems. They announced her graduation less than one month before only!
Since she graduated, fans were asking questions about the futur of the group. And they decided to let the fans choose between 7 new girls. Or it was what we were thinking. The thing is that they put the 9 former members of PASSPO + the new girls in a survey, and the 10 girls with the most votes were supposed to become the new line up.
Finally, because of fans reactions, they just quit this idea and the line up stayed with only the 9 former members.
And recently, with the new graduation, the group will just stay like that.
Also, with the 7 other girls, they finally created a new group (Palet).
About how works the graduations, there's absolutely no rules with that. It depends on lots of things and how the group were thought at the beginning.
For PASSPO☆ , since they all are in the group since the very beginning, the graduation can't be decide on the criteria of "how much time they're in the group".
It's just a decision they can take when they want to leave (of course they also have a contract they have to respect).
Obviously, the age is a real criteria : at a moment, they want to have a strong relationship which is normal thing.
And in some groups, girls know that they will be forced to quit when they reach 20 or 22 years old (marketing plan).
In PASSPO's case, to be honest, we're closer to the end of the group than the beginning. The group will probably end with a disband rather than a new line-up.
However, since they are doing more and more things (writing songs, playing instruments for example), we can hope that we still have few years with them :).
We'll have more informations on the lifetime of the group with the success of the next album.
-
Just though I'd offer my 2 cts to the discussion here after lurking for so long. You can actually see that they are pushing the girls to explore other aspects of the entertainment industry in the hopes that all that could be a prelude to remaking the image and ultimately the core of what PASSPO is and the direction and future of the group. I believe this is obvious with the push into a band-format cos they started out as a girl rock unit...singing and dancing that kinda stuff, to actually being a band with members having the capability of playing actual instruments. You can also see the Muriyari Passpo clips showing the girls doing things they are not used to, also involving themselves in varieties. Hopefully each crew member can find a niche within the industry if not within the group, eventually doing something they are really good at. I hope this experiment could ultimately transform PASSPO into something much more than a girl's band/rock unit..cos from what I see, the diversity of each member's talent, if tapped to full potential, can propel the group collectively to greater heights, provided they are harnessed PROPERLY.
eg (from what I know thus far). Mio is incredibly talented artistically, she already designs the group's costumes/outfits and drew manga cos thats her interest.
Sako (my girlfriend) seems to have a knack for MC-ing, she's the reliable and hardworking (sane) one with a desire to be a journalist. More often the tsukkomi character in PASSPO. Also she's multi-capable...plays the guitar (main guitarist) and also one of the stronger dancers within the group. Though she's not the type to stand out in interviews/variety shows, you can always see her put in 100% the moment they start dancing. She has that quiet charm that's endearing to the members and fans like me. (I know, I'm biased, just bear with me)
Annya is a hell of a dancer! She seem to excel everything put to her in this field. That clip of her trying out belly dancing is proof dance is in her genes. Engaging personality
Morishi...man, the thing that strikes me first is her smile...it ALWAYS gets to me! I could be down in the doldrums after a tough day but the moment I saw any clips featuring this gal her smile just makes me cheerful again and lifts my spirits...also...she's got a powerful voice and totally deserving of being Passpo's lead vocalist. Derpy and bubbly gal, oh, energetic and athletic too.
Aipon...ahh, the CAPTAIN. Two words: WOMANLY CHARMS. :ondick: (though that being said, I think she's a heck of a leader though she may not act like the type)

I was actually quite surprised by the announcement of a new studio album. A lot of times a best of-album means an easy way to terminate a record deal (at least in the Western music world) so my estimate was one final nationwide tour and then call it quits. Fortunately this turns out not to be the case.
About the new album, Shiori said something about the group(-management) reconsidering/finetuning the musical concept. She described the current direction as 'American Girl Rock' but in my opinion only about 1/3 of their songs belong to this category, the rest being pop, jpop, punkpop, japanese punkrock, partyrock, samba etc...so yeah, I'm very curious how the new album will be.
Nice to meet you all, by the way!
-
Ahah, I'm rather ok with all that you said.
However for Sakotee, she's not really a great dancer, she's goo because she's a hard worker. Yesterday I watched a show were she was learning belly dance with Naomin and Annya. It wasn't fabulous. While Annya is a real genius and can do everything easily, Sakotee had to work a lot to have a good result.
I'm pretty sure that she'll stop music or any artistic thing after PASSPO, not because she don't want it, but it asks her too much work.
Morishi seems to have the same faculties as Annya (even if Annya is THE dancer of the group) , and she's better than every other member physically. She's a fantastic singer but I don't consider her as the lead vocalist. She's sharing that with Aipon (and more, Aipon still have the lead, and Mori second imo).
Oh and for Aipon... I didn't really understood what you wanted to say about her as a leader, sorry.
Personally, I think she's perfect in this role. She was the best girl at the beginning (singer, dancer) and she evolved to still be at her place.
Also, she's really a good person because she's not really okay with all the bikinis, gravure thing etc. But as a perfect professional girl, she done everything she had to do for her career (and for PASSPO). She don't really like to be considered because she's really nice. She's the person who deserve the most to be here.
Now, she's a little less present than before : some of the girls are really more confident with the microphone and can also lead the others when Aipon isn't here (for the showcase stream for example).
--------
I wasn't suprised at all with the new album. They spend so much time learning instruments, it was a normal thing to, at least, do one album where they can play several songs. Same for the writing. Oh and yes, when they are talking about a kind of music, this is just a kind of bullshit. They are doing too much differents things to put a name on their style. Oh and with the belly dance learning, maybe we'll have the right to another music like Kimi Iro no Samba? (or maybe it's just to have a new choregraphy for that song).
Oh and for this album, I bet this will not be the last :).

Yeah that was me. :) I also found another one (not sure if it's ok to mention it). So the two of them will probably satisfy my Passpo discussion needs.
Relieved that they're not being kicked out of the band because of their age. We might get them for at least a few years. I just love their sound.
-

Well let's hope they leave the songwriting/recording to the professionals...I'd rather hear a few seasoned middle-aged metal musicians rip it up like they do on Mask, Fake, Wing, I and Next Flight. :rock:
That being said, the transition of pure idols into idols playing instruments live during concerts is imo the coolest thing ever done in the business so full credits to the girls for that!
-

I don't think there are any rules against that, I couldn't really find any good sites aside from this, there is the passpofan site but it doesn't seem very active.

Yeah that's the one. forums.passpofan.com. It seems less active than this one but I signed up anyway. :)

Basically, they are just talking about what we are talking here. Once I posted few interesting links here, and they quoted my post asking to the member to come here if they wanted to thanks me (even if in fact, I also have an account there).
The interesting this is that, here, we can have several other groups so, it still better anyway :)

They are professional you know? :D
And they already wrote a few songs. I really enjoy to know that they are working on their music, even if the quality should be impacted a little.
That being said, the transition of pure idols into idols playing instruments live during concerts is imo the coolest thing ever done in the business so full credits to the girls for that!
It's something people would kill me for that : Scandal is typically this kind of group. They wasn't really playing instruments at the beginning. And then they learned. (But it was something they had to do contrary to PASSPO that didn't had any need for that)
-
Wow, so much posts in such short time :shocked
Anyway I add my tow cents:
Regarding the comment on Aipon
quote: "I think she's a heck of a leader though she may not act like the type"
I know what you mean. I share the same feelings. She always comes out as the "My Pace" person, not being serious (her funny grimaces every time :lol:). But when you watch more closely, she is the spokesperson of the group and well respected by everyone. Perfect captain!
Morishi is the lead singer in my eyes, too. Aipon of course has the same or even slightly more amount of lines, but this is due to her being the captain and the management (rightfully) want to put the focus on her for standing out with her looks. At least this is my opinion. Morishi on the other hand gets leads in basically all songs, and gets all the difficult parts (like the cries in WING). Her vocal range is much wider in her major songs (Dear my friend) than songs with Aipon (Shang Shang Chandelier).
Regarding their music style and Band Passpo I see it not that much of a problem, if they play more songs themselve. Passpo always switched between simple songs and skillful ones. And what they do instrumentally with Perfect Sky, Break Out, or Shiny Road let's me look to their musical future very optimistic. I hope they will do a One Man Live as Band Passpo some time.
I could write more, but I leave it with that ;)

Well they have 1 bluray but sadly it's not really about the music. :)
You know, I saw bits and pieces of three of their shows. Wing FES live is nothing special IMO. "Next Flight FES live" and the other one "Shibuya Kokaido"(?), were much better visually. Having a Bluray of those would have been great. Oh well...

The people writing and contributing songs for PASSPO aren't just any "seasoned middle-aged metal musicians". The former bassist founded one of Japan's respected thrash metal bands and two of the current members are formerly of Sex Machineguns.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_%28band%29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_%28band%29)
I figure if they really tried, the members could write their own songs but, watching the whole TOKYO GIRLS STYLE "artist declaration" thing develop, the creative process is really hard. Even a lot of these so-called respected artists have a team of people composing/arranging and writing lyrics for them. Three of the girls from Dorothy Little Happy "self-produced" their side project and there was some criticism that it was derivative of some other groups.
Sakoti, Anya, and Mio seem to be really good at their instruments. Aipon seems to have gotten better too. The problem with them playing instruments is that it takes longer to set up than if they were just to sing and dance to prerecorded music. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad since they seem to be performing EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE recently.
Sakoti's also good at dancing because she works hard. As she always says "I will earnestly try my best today" (Kyou mo majime ni ganbarimasu) if I'm remembering it correctly. Anya on the other hand seems very natural with her dancing.
Akane and Morishi are very similar (not just because they have short hair) because they have those voices that feel like they could knock down a brick wall. But, that's just my opinion.
-
I heard about DLH's attempts which I find a great decision. Exploring their own talents but still keeping DLH alive. Similar I could imagine with PASSPO. But what about TGS? Haven't heard stories by them.
I don't really see time issues with the band format, at least not for One Man's. Festivals could be a different matter. But I doubt that they will make extensive touring as Band anyway. Even now the Live Band is just performing at special lives in Tokyo. They don't have the money (and success) for the extra costs (transports of instruments, a road crew,...)
And agreed: Akane is a great vocalist! Rumira too.
-
I should remember the members of predia but they went and did their profile page like palet's which is pretty useless. Hopefully, they don't mess up PASSPO's page like that. What is the point of listing the members' info where it's not next to their picture?
Off topic: TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE made a declaration that they would stop performing at idol events and doing their cute songs and try to be "serious artists" which sounds like it will fail since the bulk of their fans are used to the idol system and I don't think they're popular enough to make it as an artist. Maybe if they managed to sell out Tokyo Dome or even the Budokan, maybe they would have a chance? I don't like the way that it makes it seem that idols are lower than artists. The way I look at it is that artists have the illusion of being more free since they're in charge of the music but at the same time, they have to make music that appeals to a wider range of people since they can't/shouldn't be doing things like making their fans buy multiple CDs for handshakes and chekis. Anyway, we'll see how their new single does (which Miyu wrote the lyrics too).
Since PASSPO already has Hacchake-tai, maybe they can do some other sub-groups as well? Sakoti, Anya, Mio, Aipon, and Morishi as a 5-piece rock band?
-
Has Predia changed their site? Last time I looked they had pretty good profiles. Pictures, Names, Likings, etc. Must check it later.
Thanks for the TGS summary. I agree in most parts. But I guess the girls assume a difference in being idols or being a Girl Group. The latter refrains from direct fan interaction. But in my opinion this doesn't make them better in any way. Probably has a lot to do with the perception of the general public. They regard idols as less (although they work much more than Girl Groups imo). And even idols can write their own songs. PASSPO did it and much other groups.
I like your Rockband ;) The rest can keep up Hacchake Tai:P
Morishi should become a solo artist / Band lead vocalist in her after-idol-live!
-
The people writing and contributing songs for PASSPO aren't just any "seasoned middle-aged metal musicians". The former bassist founded one of Japan's respected thrash metal bands and two of the current members are formerly of Sex Machineguns.
Akane and Morishi are very similar (not just because they have short hair) because they have those voices that feel like they could knock down a brick wall. But, that's just my opinion.
No disrespect intended. Yokoyamasan (a big loss), Akutsusan, Yahirosan and co. are great musicians.
As much as I like Shiori, and she has improved a lot lately, but imo Akane is in a different league, together with Kaori of KRGS/Chewing High.
Shiori comes right behind them with Chisato (KRGS), Su-metal and Rumina on my favorites-list.
Off topic: TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE made a declaration ...
Sakoti, Anya, Mio, Aipon, and Morishi as a 5-piece rock band?
This 'artist declaration' sounds rather pretentious to me. I'm in favour of an 'Idol declaration', like Gacharic Spin's Gachadan!
Yeah, that would be the way to go. Play small gigs and build up a live reputation. I guess Mio will be on your side.
-
Sakoti, Anya, Mio, Aipon, and Morishi as a 5-piece rock band?
Now, THAT is a lineup I'd approve!! :thumbup :thumbup.
I remember in a Free-Flight episode with Sako, Annya and Miomio (was it last year?), they kinda bragged that with just the three of them, they wouldn't even need other members to function (as a rock band) :love:
Anyway, this trio is my absolute favourite because the three have such tight friendship.
Add to the mix, Morishi..and she would shout the house down with her powerful vocals and Aipon would add depth to the band behind the keyboard.
-
I figured I would add Aipon since she was pretty impressive on they keyboards at the New Year's Day concert and she could also provide some good vocals so Morishi wouldn't have to do everything. Based on what little I know about PASSPO band, Naomi, Yukkii, Nachu, and Makocchan didn't really contribute much but they had to do something for "Perfect Sky".
Maybe if Yukkii became a percussionist with bongos and chimes and whatnot, she could make it a 6-piece? I don't underestimate the value of a good "manipulator" but, you need to be contributing something aside from a few scratches and accents to make it worthwhile to set up all that equipment in my opinion. I can't stand when the DJ of a hip-hop group (or any genre) just jumps up and down and claps or throws cakes into the crowd! Do some actual mixing or something live!
Off topic: I only got to appreciate TGS recently and for them to do this kind of thing definitely seem pretentious given their position. Sell out Tokyo Dome and just naturally stop appearing at smaller idol events! Regardless of whatever declarations they want to make, they still look like idols! E-girls and Perfume seem to have graduated to being "artists" because they sell out big arenas, don't really look like idols, and are really good at what they do. Idols are defined by how accessible they are. You can meet them at a release event and shake their hand and talk to them. Artists are more far away and "mysterious". They won't follow you back or reply to you on Twitter (if they even have one) or do a handshake event.
Off topic: as little as I know about predia, Akane is probably my #1 followed by Rumina and then Maimai.
A lot of girl groups try to avoid the "idol" tag by saying they are a "dance/vocal unit" or whatever. It's silly. Sell CDs and tickets and worry about it later!
-

Well, Naomi plays rhythm guitar, so she adds a much needed layer to their sound. It became apparent during Break Out! for me, which sounded much heavier regarding the sound of guitars than it already does on record. (I mean this in a positive way) I agree with the others though. Nachu got the tambourine as they probably needed some instrument for her. I don't dive into her musical qualities here XD Yukki's job I never understood, possibly the same as with Nachu. And Makochan playing a second keyboard was unnecessary as well. That is why I would have prefered (and still prefer) the Band PASSPO putting Morishi, Nachu and Yukki at front, leave lead vocals to Morishi who gets support from Nachu and Yukki. The other members just focusing on their instruments, disregarding their vocal lines on record. THAN it would be a real Band.
Maybe if Yukkii became a percussionist with bongos and chimes and whatnot, she could make it a 6-piece?

Are you hinting at DJ Hikaru from Rhymeberry? :lol:

I basically share your thoughts. It is why I have a problem with Babyraids never doing proper events, although still calling themselves idols. Does TGS still do idol behaviour then? Like release events and Twitter? I seriously don't know. And I don't regard this as off topic, as imo PASSPO seems to want to go the same direction, already limiting their cheki events for quite some time. I can only see Hachake Tai keeping up the idol appearance.
-
Does anyone know why during their concerts they play half with pre-recorded music and the other half with a band? Playing with a live band makes the performance a lot better IMO. If you already have a band there, ready to go, why not use them for the whole show?
-
They generally are dancing to pre-recorded music. The live band is only around for special (and bigger) concerts. Every other idol group I know of is doing it this way. (like Babyraids, Party Rockets)
-
^
^
Perhaps the whole intention is to make PASSPO into a hybrid rock idol/band unit, rather than a full-on transformation into a full band group? U never know right?
-

Pretty much all idols groups play with pre-recorded music. It's only at larger events they use a backing band - there are several reasons, first it costs money to hire musicians and they need to practice to get it right and finally most of the time there wouldn't even be room for a band on the stage.
-
Based on what little I know about PASSPO band, Naomi, Yukkii, Nachu, and Makocchan didn't really contribute much but they had to do something for "Perfect Sky".
Naomi looked like a fish on dry land during that performance. I hope she's more comfortable now.

So you want two of the best singers (Ai and Sako) to hand over their lines to a mini Hacchake squad?
If you already have a band there, ready to go, why not use them for the whole show?
They're too cool to play shit like 'Shiny Road'.
-
Pre-recorded music = less setup time which means when they're performing with several different groups (which seems to be the bulk of their non-touring shows) the promoter can have more groups perform. Even lyrical school which has a legit DJ takes about 5-10 minutes extra to set up properly.
Off topic: On the topic of useless onstage DJs I was thinking of the guy from Funky Monkey Babys. Every time I would see his smug face while he would be standing behind the turntables just dancing made me dislike them to the point where I decided that I didn't like them, more so since they were so popular (and sounded like a lot of other happy hip-hop groups in Japan). Disclaimer: I would usually change the channel or fast forward any time I would see FMBs so I can't say whether their music was any "good" compared to "real hip-hop" but a lot of people liked them. I'm not saying they should be mixing or whatever the entire time but, if they only touch their equipment once or twice during a song, why do they need all that stuff to be there? Dance along with the others or help with the chorus and get the crowd excited!
At least DJ Hikaru provides some vocals too?
TGS is selling their new single and best of album with 4 different types with different contents for each one. The cheapest version of the single is only sold at events so...I don't really care enough about TGS or even Babyraids to go to a release event and buy a CD for a handshake or a cheki so I can't say for sure. I do feel that those two groups (and Cheeky Parade to an extent) are tying to move too fast.
On topic: new Muripasu with Sakoti and Morishi. Morishi looks like a monkey with her furry coat! Big improvement over Nachu and Yukkii wandering around Ikebukuro.

That's how rhythym guitarists look like. With most bassists it is the same, if they just care about keeping up the song structure ;)
So you want two of the best singers (Ai and Sako) to hand over their lines to a mini Hacchake squad?
That is what I mean, right. It won't work with every song of their repertoire, but they could rearrange some, for example Starting Over, which consists basically of group vocals. But the best option would be just writing new songs, that fits the three.
I only want this for a BAND version, of course.
They're too cool to play shit like 'Shiny Road'.
I find Shiny Road okay, nothing more but nothing less either. They have worse songs.
To give a serious answer: Those musician are probably paid by effort. So learning a bunch of songs, which would occupy a lot of time, will be expensive. And I can imagine lot of fans want the 'traditional' performance without a band. Not sure here though. It is a mistake to compare idol groups with 'regular' groups. PASSPO also has no rich label behind them.
At least DJ Hikaru provides some vocals too?
Well, yes. But sparsely. Most time she just nods her head to the music and encourages the audience a few times for participation. You know, 'Clap your hands' and stuff.

This is one of the silliest things I've seen on their channel so far... in a good way :)

Crazy stuffs happen when these 2 get together... :twothumbs
but marshmallows?! seriously?
More Attentionポイント (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H5XUwtCiuE#ws)
Never knew Yukki's a BARCA fan :?
And issit just me who seem to get this vibe that Sako doesnt seem too enthusiastic these days...I'm fearing if she might be (contemplating to be) the next to leave the group...(Please God, please dun let that happen)
-
Yukki dishonored herself by wearing the jersey of these cheaters. :(
-
She has the hots for Neymar.
New song(s) on setlist! New USA themed outfit! HS on hold! (sort of) New merchandise, USA themed (aka cannibalism themed)! New song(s)! Oh wait...
Sako looks tired. Nice to see she hasn't forgotten Yoko.
-
Anya and Mio in Oji (which allegedly has a good pizza place) shooting marshmallows at each other.
Great video. Right when the action should start, both guns fail. And Annya seems to have a cruel cleverness, letting Mio repair her gun, then shooting Mio with hers :lol:
Mio is surprisingly tired fast. Expected more from an idol ;)
Oh and I need to buy a skateboard to attract their attention. But I shouldn't expect them running to help me if I fall. The reaction was hilarious XD
Yukki is a fan of Spanish football. She is seen quite often in trikots, especially during the World Cup. For me the fact is more important that she is a woman who likes football. Rare thing that needs to be acknowledged! I already gave up hope, that outside Europe you can find fans of teams despite Barcelona, Madrid and Manchester.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9eF1ZpCQAEDksP.jpg)
The shirts lol. Hopefully Nachu doesn't stop her diet now because of them. She looks great! :cow:
Don't read to much in Sako's expression. Just watch this video from last summer and take especially care of Naomi and Nachu. They made me worried back then.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_yBxkZ0co#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_yBxkZ0co#ws)
Have to hear and see what they mean with the whole USA theme. If it turns out to be like Next Flight, I don't mind. And reduced idol activities/events were just a matter of time.
-

I've actually seen several idols talking about football, it has mostly been about the Japanese national team though, but I think quite a few enjoy it.
-
One or two years ago Morishi was proud to show her ticket to a Manchester match during the Red Devils summer tour in Japan.
My life would be complete if i could see her wearing the jersey of the best club in the world, the one and only AC Milan ! :theking

Hi, I just joined this forum mostly because this place seemed to have a somewhat active discussion on PASSPO☆. I did join http://www.passpofan.com (http://www.passpofan.com) a few hours ago, but that place seems to not be very active. So thus I ended up here somehow . . .
Since this is a PASSPO☆ thread, here's a trailer for their upcoming DVD release that they posted earlier in case you haven't seen it yet.

Disappointed. Not the whole show will appear on DVD!!!
-
Wait, I can't read Japanese but it's not the whole concert?
-
compare the track list:
http://natalie.mu/music/news/139862
Was so excited about hearing RUIN and the great Band Perfomance of Break Out again.
-
Guess they couldn't fit over 6 hours onto 2 DVDs. Granted I still wonder why a blu-ray version is not available.
-
I wonder why they not release 3 DVDs then or plan it better. The duration was pretty easy to predict.
BluRay probably has money issues.
-
Must be a slow couple of days . . .

Seriously. 3 DVDs with all kinds of random bonus footage or just spread it out. 2+ hours per each DVD! Simple!
Offtopic: I'm regretting not getting Bluray versions of stuff I got on DVD because there is bonus footage only on the Bluray version and it wasn't that much more expensive. Bluray drives got cheaper too but stupid Macs can't play them though.
-
Personally I prefer blu-rays because 1. they're HD 2. DVDs look anywhere from significantly to somewhat worse on the TVs in my home. 3. Japanese Blu-rays are usually region free as opposed to Japanese DVDs which are usually region locked. I primarily use my North American/US model PS3 for viewing Blu-rays.
-
...as opposed to Japanese DVDs which are usually region locked.
That is definitely 100% wrong, I think you are missing something.
1. The wast majority of both music DVD's and Blue-Rays are region free.
2. If we are talking movies I think the reason you think the Blue-Rays are region free is because they are the same region as North America whereas DVD's are the same region as Europe.
-
1. The wast majority of both music DVD's and Blue-Rays are region free.
Of all the DVDs I have from Japan, only one is all region and the rest are coded for Region 2, while all blu-rays I have are all region.These are DVDs from limited edition albums and concert Blu-rays.
Also on the topic of PASSPO☆, they really seem to be churning these out a lot lately . . .

I have about 20 Music DVD's and only one is locked (it's a set of 2 and the other disk in that set isn't locked).
-
Well since we're talking about the PASSPO☆ DVD, I looked at the product page on CD Japan and like most of the DVDs I have from Japan, it says the DVD is Region 2. Which is locked for me since I'm in the US.

Those pages are wrong, both CD-Japan and amazon.co.jp often write that as a precation, the disc's aren't actually region locked.
-
Those pages are wrong, both CD-Japan and amazon.co.jp often write that as a precation, thee disc's aren't actually region locked.
Then explain to me why so many of the DVDs I've gotten from those sites are locked and won't play for me.
-
Tell me which ones then.
-
Some examples from my collection would be the DVDs that came with Scandal, Silent Siren, Dempagumi.Inc, and AKB48's latest albums.
-
As you said yourself we're talking about passpo here, all their discs are region free.
It seems we are both speaking from experience and maybe none of us are right but again only one of all the discs I have is region locked.
And I'm fairly confident that most of the music DVD's are not region locked.
Here are a couple of passpo DVD's I did it quick so it's blurry, but look for the globe where it says ALL (next to NTSC).
http://i62.tinypic.com/2zntizr.jpg (http://i62.tinypic.com/2zntizr.jpg)
-
This maybe true for Passpo, but so far none of the other artists I have DVDs for are All Region. This is point I'm to make as one of the reasons why I'm mentally against DVDs.
-
Yeah well Passpo's definitly aren't locked so you shouldn't worry about that.
I just rechecked the only music DVD I have that is locked is Babyraids, I have another that is locked but that's a documentary.
Overall I don't think Blue-rays are more likely to be region free than DVD's but for you they just happen to be the same as your region.
-
Well there's still the issue of DVDs looking terrible on my TV. So there's that to think about :nervous . . .
-
Obviously, I would prefer Blue-rays as well.
-
Yeah ever since we upgraded the TVs in the house to HDTVs, I started to notice all non HD content doesn't look quite right anymore :(.
-
As I am living in Europe I don't care about Japanese region codes :P
BluRays could be a different story as I don't know their region code in Japan if they have one. None of the groups I like releases BluRays. :( But I am not so demanding when it comes to picture quality. A well recorded DVD is as good for me as a BluRay.
But could we skip the technical discussion and go back to topic? :lol:
What is your opinion on the current merchandise? Like the shirts Aipon helds in the video few posts before? In my opinion they AGAIN have outdone themselves - in a negative way. :smhid

There is a crisis now for french fries in Japan because of delivery strikes in the US. Poor Morishi...

And they're still wearing those terrible "old man running shoes"! Can we at least get some red or white sneakers? It's like when someone wears Crocs.
I guess it sort of goes with their "American rock" concept?

I just received my Tracks first class edition CD with the DVD with all their videos. Bit expensive but this is absolutely worth the money. It was my first time seeing most of these videos. I wish more bands did this. The DVDs included with the records of the other bands I follow usually have little extras that aren't that great. Passpo's records, from the 2 that I have (one world and jejejejet, 3 I guess if you count Tracks), seem to give you more for your money. Hopefully this will continue with their new record.

Yes I agree the sheer amount of video you get with Tracks is great, the only video that is missing on that one is "Love Diary" - I already had most of the videos since I have some singles and the 2013-2014 Music Clips DVD.
I pretty much ONLY buy the Limited Editions of Japanese CD's since the DVD's are usually well worth the extra price

Tracks is also missing the video for Bathtub (if you consider this a music video), Let It Go, GPP, and Sakura Iro (the indie MVs).

I too would prefer to obtain Limited Editions of albums, but considering I started buying albums only recently some Limited Editions (or any version) just can't be found easily anymore. Like I only found One World and Take Off on Amazon Japan but they've already been marked up quite a bit. :bleed eyes: Granted some DVDs are kind of not worth it to me. Like the ones that are documentaries or interviews because I don't know Japanese and have no idea what they're saying. :sweatdrop:

Yeah I don't really consider Bathtub a real music video and the older songs obviously aren't on tracks since Universal don't have the rights for them.

I got it for 5000 yen used which I think was a fair price, I already have the other albums as LE.
I've been spending several thousand dollars on older CD's in the last four months since I started to buy Japanese music (yes I'm new at this) - it might have been cheaper to actually go to Japan and buy them there LOL!

Those are things I unfortunately can't appreciate to their full extent right now. I'm in the process of learning Japanese but it's only been a few months and it's going very slowly. Hey, hopefully someday. :)

You've got that right my friend! :thumbup
OMG, she's getting more and more lovely. :inlove:
I've been watching every showroom and Muripasu episode, (particularly the ones with my lovely Sako in it) since I started last year and I must say if you listen to enough of those documentaries and interviews/varieties, u could just pick up some Japanese along the way. Of course, mine is nowhere near the point I'm able to translate the context into proper English form at the moment but at least I get some hint of what they're talking about. It helps further if you learn a few words from blogs of kind souls who translate these idols blog posts, commentary about their events, etc.
I've had the good fortune to stumble upon PASSPO after following Hello Project for a few years since 2007. The concept of this group is certainly refreshing... Strangely enough, it was Annya that I took an interest in when I first saw her acting in Cheerfu11y along with Kikkawa Yuu and her fellow groupmates Morishi and Naomin. Thats how I found out about this wonderful group. :lol:
I'm still hoping someday that I can meet them in person (esp my oshi, Sako)
Back to those checkered costumes, I don't really like them cos when they wear it, they reminded me of the stereotypical American diner waitress. (That said, though...I wouldn't mind if Sako turned up at my table and asking me what would I like to have :twisted:)
-
As their new motto is American Girls Rock plus their album being named Beef or Chicken, it is certain to assume that their American diner outfit is no coincidence ;)
-
I'd just like to come back from the dead to say that
I already gave up hope, that outside Europe you can find fans of teams despite Barcelona, Madrid and Manchester.
c'mon wattstax, u know me too well to know that this is not true. the most 'mainstream' club I like is Valencia!
on topic, the new uniforms and merchandising sucks. but nothing new here cuz its been a long time since the last nice uniforms and t-shirts. I hope that the album can deliver some 'freshness' to the group cuz I'm losing interest lately. and I hope someone starts uploading the 'free flight' program again in Youtube. I miss watching it. would be nice to watch the LoGiRL program too. with only the (recently) uninteresting 'Muriyari' to watch, there's no surprise why the're being surpassed in my preferences.
-
At least let the chicken serve the steak and the cow serve the chickenwings instead of presenting their own sisters on a plate.
Management: The new concept is stewardesses dressing up like waitresses. The album title is 'Beef or Chicken'.
Passpo: are you out of your fu.... brilliant idea! Let's do it!
Management: The next concept is stewardesses dressing up like waitresses dressing up like psychiatric nurses. The album title is 'Plane Silly'.
Passpo: YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
-
That is the slow conversion from Passpo to Hacchake Tai. [emoji16]

Anyone else find it a little strange that their upcoming DVD release for the January 1rst concert, the 6:30 hour show, is on only 2 DVDs? It doesn't make sense. MMCZ's latest 8 hour release is on 4 BRs and 6 DVDs. Am I supposed to believe that the people in charge of producing Passpo's DVD were able to cram 6h30 on 2 DVDs? If they tried to do that, the quality probably suffered terribly, or they cut some parts, which is more likely IMO. Even more surprising is the fact that apparently there are extras. Also, I checked all the websites selling the DVD and they aren't specifying the length of the video. It's a little suspicious.
I was going to get this on release but now I think I'm just gonna wait and see until we know a little more.
Edit:
I guess it's possible. I just googled and found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video)
For example, a particular lower encoded bit rate allows 8 hours of TV programming on a disk. The highest bit rate within the specification allows 2 hours. A compromise (between length and quality) might allow 6 hours of programming to be recorded onto a DVD. DVD publishers often opt for the higher-quality, higher-bit-rate modes with roughly 2 hours worth of video per disk. For example, HBO recorded 2 one-hour episodes per disc for the DVD release of the Game of Thrones.
I wonder what the quality will be like.
-
Guess like it will be a while before POPOPO (or someone) uploads the full latest Showroom episodes, so here's something to kill the time:

Oh, Sako...you can't pull off the crazy act routine, you are way too serious for that...cos that is always Annya, Miomio and Naomin's specialty. BTW, Naomin should consider a comedic role..she has this awesome self-deprecating sense of humour that endears her to the members.

-
clem84, scroll some pages back. There we talked about the DVD emits several songs. I also posted a link about the remaining set list.
-
Oh... Don't know how I missed that.
Like you said, the no bluray thing is probably a money issue. The cost to produce them and manufacture them would be higher and maybe they're not entirely confident fans would pay those higher prices? What's surprising is that for a group that's so used to producing multiple versions of their releases, ranging from high end to low end, having a "first class" version of their home video release is such an obvious thing to do. The first review on Amazon Japan was from some guy who gave it 1 star and complained that there was no BR version. I'm sure there's quite a few of us who want higher quality versions of their concerts. Maybe at some point they'll wake up.
In the mean time I'm still considering getting the DVD. The price is not too high and there seems to be a lot of value to the package. Both discs are packed with content. Tempting...
-
It is still a long show, no matter what. Still disappointed for not including everything. A special limited edition would have been great. This will forever frustrate me, not being able to experience the whole show again and again.
Don't know about BR cost, but it must be a lot, as hardly any group does it who is not part of a bigger label (like AVEX). So I can accept the DVD version only approach.
-
Many people still haven't bothered getting a BR player so I think it's more a case of BR's not selling enough to make it viable.
On the other hand one of the new Sakura Gakuin CD's comes with a BR with bonus material, and as far as I know Passpo are bigger than SG (they are both on Universal).
-
With SG you mean Super Girls? Since when are they Universal???
And I highly doubt Passpo being bigger than them.
-
With SG you mean Super Girls? Since when are they Universal???
Sakura Gakuin, it was in the sentence I didn't bother to write it out the second time ;)
-
My mistake. Sorry. Hm, you are right there. So maybe label decision and individual management decision? Well, I already gave up on understanding idol marketing strategies. lol
-
Super Girls and PASSPO commented to each other how they were kind of at plateaus when they did a collab performance at @JAM Expo in August. Having seen both performing separately after that, I can say that it's definitely true although SG has the edge with Avex putting in more production values to stuff like the videos for Gocchan's graduation concert and the whole Super Castle theme of the recent concerts. Compare that to there being no real video tributes to Makocchan at her graduation concert and no particular thought out theme for PASSPO's recent lives.
Not having the entire concert on the DVD is very very disappointing. Even more disappointing than the bland new goods.
-
Anyone know where I can get the 1080 version of Sakura Komachi? I've been looking for it for a little while.
-
For those who are starving of videos, Aipon uploaded a really short video on her youtube channel.
Last was 5 months ago so the next could be in 5 months again but who knows... xD

Not sure if they had been out partying the night before in that last one, the singing is unimpressive.

For as long as it's up: Honey Dish (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYp37WRCK9s)
Sounds imo like a best-of Mr Akutsu crammed into 4 min.
Nice pre-chorus, chorus too poppy for my taste.
-
Considering I had some points at CD Japan that were about to expire a couple of weeks ago, I used them to pre-order the new album. This Honey Dish preview does not make me regret that decision. XD

Thank you for sharing this.
It sounds great! :D It is a little poppy but I don't mind. Many of their songs have a pop side to them. This really makes me look forward to the new album.
-
^ I think is sounds pretty much the same as what they usually do.
I like it :)

Nachu trying to sing a ballad at last night's 2.5D web show. Must have been amazing for PASSPO to put it on their channel only a few hours after.

She never really made an impression on me before but, this was pretty brilliant in how awkward it was.
-
I didn't think it was so bad, the song is a traditional graduation song - Sakura Gaukuin used it for their first graduation single.
旅立ちの日に ~J-MIX~ (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2f7nyw)
-
It was a batsu-game before so she had to sing it alone. Was funny imo.
The new song grows on me after seeing it performed live a second time. Still reminds me of their early days.
-
^ did you move to Japan permanently?
-
No, I am just economic to have money for travel ;)
The bad thing about the current tour: Set list is basically the same every time. So after 4 One-Man's I am glad for a pause. But hell, the girls make fun and the 'new' concept really grew on me. And the best thing: Proper events with akushukai, signs and chekis.
-
I recall you mentioning something about them not doing those things lately, so I can imagine that you are happy about that.
Personally I don't really care for those things I have no ambition of meeting/talking to idols I would just like to go to a show, I'm hoping to go Oct/Nov this year.
Also do you by chance know where you can buy Passpo merchandise like t-shirts online?
-
You got that right. During their last tour in summer, also being at Osaka and Nagoya flights, there were no events connected to it. So this time my conviction for the group was restored. And opposite to you, these events are important to me, when it concerns groups I like. You would be perfect company for a show: You buy yourself merchandise and give me your event tickets, you get for it :lol:
Online is troublesome. You can buy from Japanese auction sites, maybe with the help of third party buyers. I can send you a link if you like.
Or I buy you some and send it to you by postal service. :P
-
It's weird that it should be hard to find official merchandise online!
Anyways I have a Tenso account and I do buy stuff from Buyee from time to time but I can't recall seeing any t-shirts there so any link would be of help to me, thanks :)
-
I used to feel the same before I started going to events. It's exciting if you can say something to them that's interesting and shows that you're a fan but then again that depends on who your favorite is. Morishi, Mio, and Sakoti are really nice. Yukkii got really excited when I told her that I loved her L-sized reports. Naomi and Nachu were kind of awkward. I have no memory of my interaction with Anya or Aipon. Sorry. Makocchan was really cute but kinda spacey.
On the other hand, it's kind of a pain waiting in that long line just to talk to them for a few seconds before being moved along.
-
The main reason I don't care for it is that it seems kinda pointless (to me), I mean what do they really care for what some stranger tells them!
And I'm not that surprised by Makkocchan being spacey :lol: she kinda seems that way but in a cute way.
And I can't even really pick a favorite I guess seeing them live would help with that.
-
^ I'm gonna butt in here, even though I'm not really talking about Passpo here, but idols in general. But I think the whole interacting with fans thing and following them personally is one of the things which makes them idols rather than, say an artist or band member. I don't really like meeting the whole group at a group handshake, but do like meeting a particular member I like. The first time is normally fun as they are happy to have a new fan, and you get to see what they actually look like up close and get a photo with them and introduce yourself etc. But after that, you both start to know each other and are no longer strangers. I'm not a fan of handshake events detached from a live completely as there is no context, but meeting idols after a live I like - if even just to tell them how much you enjoyed their performance etc.
-
I get what you guys are saying and maybe when I go to a show I might change my mind.
-
It's probably easiest to do when they have a release event since meeting them is usually included when you buy the CD/DVD. Best "bang for buck" scenario is when they do a mini live with a handshake event after for 1 CD. Of course, there will be other levels in order to get fans to buy multiple copies too.
I do get it though. I totally bailed on going to any of lyrical school's events since I don't really know anything about all the members so going down that line after would have been a little awkward. And then there's always disappointment if you weren't able to say what you wanted to and end up sounding dumb (which I have done many times before).
-
Well considering my Japanese is limited to introducing myself and saying konichiwa (or whatever is appropriate at the time) I wouldn't really know what to say ;)
-
What is up with these 2? :lol:
20150323 「夜の試聴会」始まりの音頭 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFPII5Etylg#ws)
-
it is your first time meeting and seeing them. So lot of topics: your name, country, you see them the first time, favourite song, the show,...
Go with Yukki if you want to speak english. She knows a bit. Or Naomi. She will ask for your name in English and stuff. Avoid Annya!
-
rofl don't say that!
Annya is kinda jerky just that. I remember when I asked about Oppaipon's tits to her and she told me they feel good to touch. :lol:
-
Mother of God, you asked her what? :bleed eyes:
-
Jesh... now I WANT to talk to them :banghead:
-
Mother of God, you asked her what?
putting it simple, there was a show where Annya touched Oppaipon's tits during a MC if I remember correctly. all fun and games. then, in the handshakes I went to tell her I was jealous of her for it and asked how it felt. as the good sport she is, Annya played nicely with the joke and wasn't offended or something. don't worry, I'm not an idol molester or something. :lol:
yet. :roll:
-
Well I'm an Aipon oshi and now because of you I can't unsee "Oppaipon" . . . it's like the most brilliant and fitting perversion of her name :yep:. Granted I will say that before I really got into J-Pop and idols that I didn't really care about boobs, but because of J-Pop and idols it kind of just went downhill from there :panic:.
-
I recall in one of the after-show videos someone is fondling Makkocchan's boobs, crazy girls.
-
Oh sweet Jesus :bleed eyes: . . .
Although to get things back on track, so now that the DVD is officially released, did anyone get it? If yes, how is it?
-
I know u guys want an end to this talk abt Oppaipon, but since I'm late to the party, I just wanna add on my 2 cts to this. In one of the Free Flight Showrooms, Sako kinda joked about it too...Annya and Mio (I think it was the one these 3 hotel roommates appeared in) was reminiscing about those days of the Shaku Uma TV where Passpo were training to become baseball players and Aipon served as the team's pitcher. Sako said she noticed whenever it was time for Aipon to throw the ball in a pitch, her body always leans forward after the pitch, speculating about the heaviness of her chest. That episode was good fun.
-
I know u guys want an end to this talk abt Oppaipon
Oh god no, lets keep talking about it, it's all good fun.
Also the video I was talking about earlier with the fondling :)

I think that's part of Annya's appeal. She's not that innocent even though she's the youngest member. She's always grabbing the others! She's a little scary but I like how she's kind of unapologetic about her character. She does whatever she wants but is still one of the best dancers in the group.At one of the performances around her birthday she commented about now that she's 20, the freshness of PASSPO was gone. Kind of how like Mio wouldn't get taller or how Nachu's boobs wouldn't get any bigger. Later she grabbed Nachu's boobs and said something like "Holy crap! You really have no boobs!"
-
... she commented about now that she's 20, the freshness of PASSPO was gone. Kind of how like Mio wouldn't get taller or how Nachu's boobs wouldn't get any bigger.
I'm still pretty new to the whole idol scene and I guess Passpo is past their prime at this point. From what I understand the girls are reaching an age where they are probably looking for whatever they should do next - I hope I'm wrong because I wouldn't mind if they kept going for another 4-5 years :)
-
Makocchan's in a play!

My Annya comment wasn't meant disrespectful to Annya. I just wanted to point out on the topic of first meeting them: that she may not be the best option when not understanding a thing. You will miss out to much, not being able to reply to her antics.
But yea, she is very straight. On the Saitama flight she was actually making fun of an audience member who didn't participate and wore sun glasses! Hell of fun. She actually makes the majority of MCs now.
And Tsutomo: It is about time you finally talk with Aipon about her breasts directly, and not using such detours ;)
-
^
YEAH, Tsutomo! Be a MAN and look AIPON in the AI eye (or down to her breasts) and ASK HER what's her cup size. :twisted: A lot of people (myself included) will be eternally grateful if you can share with us her response :drool:
-
Also ask if she's Filipino, yes I still want to know the answer to that . . .
-
I haven't had time to watch the full live DVD yet, I only saw the first disc so far, but what I've seen is awesome.
However it makes me really miss Makkocchan in the group, I never realized how many songs there is where her and Miomio do cute stuff together. Makkocchan is such an adorable clumsy little munchkin ;(
My favorite part on disk 1 has to be the band version, I was very surprised at how good they were, the singing was also much better since they didn't move around that much.
I'm going to watch disc 2 tomorrow and I'm probably going to cry.
-
Hey would you be able to tell me if the DVD is Region 2 or All Region? I've only seen pictures of the front cover and none of that info is on the front.
-
c`mon guys, these infos are well known already. Oppaipon`s size is E-cup (japanese size. would be a D in America) and she is a hafu, her mother is Filipino. she appeared in that Shaku Uma episode that showed her house and she already wrote at least twice on her blog about her grandma that leaves in Philippines. ;)
-
DVD is region free.

Hey well I'm technically "new" to the fandom and from what I was reading from PASSPO Fan they weren't really sure if she was or wasn't. Also I'm really not trying to think about her breasts right now . . .
-
@iamcrazymike
I forgot, but do you have an oshimen already? It seems you tend to Aipon a lot, god knows why lol
-
I'm pretty sure I said I was an Aipon oshi on the previous page. As for why I originally came to like her, I'm actually not really sure. All I know is May of last year is when I first learned of PASSPO☆. While I was watching their music videos, I feel like out of all the members she just clicked for me instantly. I'm not really sure why, but she did. Sure as I got to know more about the group (based on what I could find online), there were times I wanted to oshihen to Mio because she is "weird" and draws well and that appeals to me. However, somehow I can't seem to "unclick" Ai. Since I do know a bit more about PASSPO☆ now, I probably would say some of the things that I like about Ai are . . .

Yeah she's really pretty, but I must admit in the "candid" clips I've seen I like her most because she seems really nice (boobs isn't everything).
I have a hard time sticking with one but for now it's Morishi because I really like her energy and smile and she's obviously a good singer :)

I like her for the same reasons. She has a really good and powerful voice... And a killer smile.

GET IT!
Honestly I didn't think it would be possible but after watching this DVD, I like them twice (or any other random number) as much!
So many great moments... much less crying than I expected though - and as it was discussed some pages back I could totally see Passpo become a real group, aside from Perfect Sky and Shiny Road they play "Candy Room" and it sounds really good.
And I'm even more confused about who I like the most now since Sakotee is really growing on me :?

This is really selling her! I like the way in one of the pics you posted, she has both glasses and videogames :lol:
I think Aipon is the most fun to support live. But think Morishi is the cutest. And has a great voice. And Mio is pretty cute, too.

I suppose he meant Aipon has the most shouts. That is why it is a positive to follow her. But well, I am lazy and stay with Yukki lol
Morishi can be a jokster: Two times in a row now she picks me out of the crowd, me so perplex about it, I was unable to react. But she has great memory, always remembering me.
Hachake Tai is fun but a bit strange: Zaian (Naomi) only talks during Akushukais, but not during other events. The other girls more or less act like their regular selfs. Does any one know specifics?
-
I hadn't heard Shiny road before. Good song. I wonder if it'll be on the upcoming record.
-
I hadn't heard Shiny road before. Good song. I wonder if it'll be on the upcoming record.
The only previously published songs (SR was the B-side of Himawari) on the new album will be Himawari and Perfect Sky afa I know.
Why these 2 songs again I don't know as they're already on Tracks. It would have been a great opportunity to start with a clean canvas and produce a 'proper album' instead of a collection of singles, b-sides and a handful of new songs as a lot of albums are (and the previous Passpo albums were).
With SR (their softest side) and FAKE (pretty much on the other side of their musical spectrum) out I wonder if this is an indication of the musical direction of the new album.
-
I don't get why Perfect Sky and Himawari are still on the new album either considering these songs were all recorded when Makocchan was still a member.
-
I think Aipon is the most fun to support live.

Yeah, to answer, pretty much as Wattstax says. During songs there's a lot more calls etc for her.

I'm somewhat of a new fan and your post got me wondering if there was any of their older songs I might have missed because they were never included on their albums. Their Wiki (http://"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passpo") tells me that all the singles were released on albums but this might not include B sides.
This is what I have so far:
Am I missing any?
-
What do you mean with No.1 Boy?

Well this was the B side of Sakura Komachi and to my knowledge it was never released on any album, just on a single. Any other songs like that?

You talking about me? Or the guy in the video? lol

Who the HECK is THIS GUY?! :? :angry: Making Makita-san all flushed and blushing :smhid ...I'm so envious
I'm liking her more and more... I'm a bad fan, seems like you are supposed to have a favorite and I really like most of them :cry:
-
Damn, hate this April fool changes in text? What you mean? You are a bad fan for liking the other members too? Don't be ridiculous. I would find it terrible, if you only concentrate on one of them and disregard the rest.
-
LMAO :angry:
-
She's interviewing "Smith" next!!!!! He's the director of most of the really weird Dempagumi and Ebichu videos!!!!
I feel bad for not really keeping up with her "Makita Journal" or Yukki's "L-Size Reports" but, they do announce it on Twitter so that's like yelling into the wind sometimes. I should put some time aside to catch up. Still haven't finished her interview with Airi from C-ute or Takenaka-sensei.
-
wattstax, I wasn't referring to you. Obviously, its the guy in the video. He better not make any moves on (my) Sako or there'll be hell to pay. :angry:
So, that guy's name is "Smith"?! and he's a director? :smhid
mixedmedia, I came across a translated transcript of the Makita Journal interview with Airi of C-ute, but I'm not sure if there are any other bloggers who are subbing interviews involving Takenaka-sensei and others after doing some searching, so far. If you know of any, please post the links. Be much appreciated.
immergeil, I know what u mean. I also started my Passpo fandom from knowing one member. Though I do lurve all of them now, my favourite is still Sako. (I love her the most when she's wearing shorts...have you noticed how sexy her legs are? Watch the Showroom episodes youtube user POPOPO posted online featuring her in it). No-thin wrong with being a DD (Daredemo Daisuki) though. Some of us eventually end up that way.
(BTW This animal change in text is really freakin annoying. :angry: )
-
Personally I've gotten to the point where I like all the members except of Anna(nothing about her clicks for me.). Granted Oppaipon . . . wait . . . I mean Aipon still ranks highest . . .
Also am I the only still on the fence on if I should buy the DVD or not(not sure because 2 other groups/bands I listen to are also releasing DVDs/Blu-rays soon)?
-
The guy in the video is actor "Alexander" Sakam0oto, husbAaand of Nozomi Kawasaki. She is a former AKB member and founder of Antiminss (men's clopurr brand).
[edit: I meant clowoof brand.]

No I don't think I'm bad because I like a lot of members, but I feel it's almost mandatory to have one specific girl you root for, I know it obviously isn't it just seems that way.

While looks obviously plays a role, it's not on the top of my list for liking idols. When I first saw a couple of Passpo videos I immediately noticed Aipon she just kinda sticks out so when I first got her she was my favorite, then I liked Miomio because I liked her mischievous ways, then when I found out Makkocchan was graduating I focused on her and she became my favorite.... next was Morishi because I just like everything about her (singing, dancing) but I kinda feel the same about Sakotee as well!!!
I guess it's been a discovery period until I got to know all the girls well enough.
EDIT: Nooooo.. I just looked it up and a DD is a bad fan apparently - I'm going with being a MD with Morishi as my oshimen.
- DD (Daredemo Daisuki) = "Anyone is fine.." - This to the girls isn't a positive thing (they hate it). It means someone who can't make up their minds, someone who is equally as fine with Kana as with Takamina as with Sayaka as with Mariyannu etc. It doesn't really matter who the girl is to them, they're all fine. It might sound confusing, but the DD mentality in Japan is somewhat scorned upon, and here DD is known outside of idol subculture too. People want you to be able to say who your favorite is, or what you choose etc. If you don't have an oshimen you're considered a DD, because you can't choose.
- MD (Minna Daisuki) = "I love everybody" - It could look to be the same as DD, but it's not. In order to be MD, you first and foremost must have an oshimen. While DD is not a good thing, MD is OK.
- TO (TanOshi / Only One Oshi) = Someone who only supports their oshimen. Their focus is 110% on their oshimen. TO's are much liked.
- Oshihen = Someone who changes their oshimen. Not really a good thing.
- Oshimashi = Someone who adds oshimen to their already established oshimen.
Also am I the only still on the fence on if I should buy the DVD or not(not sure because 2 other groups/bands I listen to are also releasing DVDs/Blu-rays soon)?
Not sure what other DVD/BD's you are thinking about but I think this one really should be on the top of your list I mean they play basically all their songs.
I don't know if you have gotten the Babyraids one but that one is also very good it's region 2 though.
-

Currently there's a Silent Siren DVD/BD coming out on April 22 and a Dempagumi.Inc DVD/BD coming out on May 13. It's between those two or PASSPO☆'s.
-
Yeah I'm planning to get the Silent Siren one as well.
I can see your dilemma if you can't afford them all, but then again you can just buy them later I guess.
-
I think the PASSPO☆ ranks higher on my list right now because I for sure want to get the new miwa album that comes out next week and the PASSPO☆ DVD is the only of the 3 I'm looking at that's already available by the time the miwa album comes out(trying to combine purchases, since multiple items are cheaper to ship than it would to ship individually). But I think my mind is still hung up on the fact it's a DVD . . .
-
If I read correctly, Sako is doing a vacation. Not graduating (so far).
-
Wattstax, who said anything about Sako graduating? :?
(at least when I saw the last few recent comments. nobody even mentioned anything about a graduation).
-
I feel sorry for those here that started recently in this fandom. by the looks of it, Passpo days are already counting (literally. see their website).
Sako will leave indefinitely the stage activities because of "health problems" after the one-man at may 31st. they already announced that a "new project" will start on the same day. the video released https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Vud-24c-c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Vud-24c-c) leaves a lot of things open for imagination...
edit: as I already told to wattstax, the key is the five girls silhouette that appear in the final. stronger speculations in 2ch (and I'd bet in one of those two too) are they either add five members (I'd guess then Sako would graduate to leave the group with 12 members) or they turn into a girl band (like Scandal, Silent Siren, Gacharic Spin...) with five members (and then three of the actual members wouldn't "make the cut"). given their talk, recent tour and its theme, I'd guess the second is more possible, in which case I'd be sad cuz there's no way Nachu is not one of the three out. and guessing by their comments in the video, since Yukky and Nachu make wishes that don't involve the group... would be these two and Sako out? :panic:
-
Ah, so it's probably true then. I guess i just havent looked at the video u posted, nor this link
http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/passpo-makita-sako-temporarily-take-a-hiatus-20150441146.html (http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/passpo-makita-sako-temporarily-take-a-hiatus-20150441146.html)
A while back I did remember saying Sako scared me when she's been missed out some flights due to her illness, and her appearing tired and showing signs of fatigue were all too obvious even a casual fan would notice. I hope its for the best...she really looked "burnt-out" but I do hope at some time later, we will get to see her again...maybe not in Passpo, but in some other new act/unit.
If the 3 really are leaving, Passpo would either have to undergo a process of renewal (vis a vis adding new members) or to transform itself into a full-fledged band (as tsutomo pointed out). To me both possibility are really hard to stomach. Some other groups may be suited to a renewal process to add vibrancy, but not Passpo. When more than half of the original members have left, the character/spirit of the group is no longer there. Its really a sad day for me knowing it will all come to an end soon.
-
Well this is not quite news I wanted to wake up to . . . :(
-
I feel sorry for those here that started recently in this fandom. by the looks of it, Passpo days are already counting (literally. see their website).
As a recent fan I honestly don't feel that bad if they should happen to move on to other things, they already had a longer run than most idol groups as I understand it.
Obviously I'm sad that I probably never get to see my favorite idol group live, but what would make me really is if they all quit the business completely.
Maybe they should cut down on the number of shows, as I understand it they have been the group with most shows in a year for two years running with over 100 shows a year.
Personally I would rather have them go the band route than add a bunch of new members.
-
Well the fact that Mako says
During the hiatus, it will depend on my condition but I would like to keep my activities like meeting for PASSPO☆’s flight, writing, and so on.
means the group should go on with their regular activities. Besides a new album is coming out shortly. A new album is an investment by a record label and they wouldn't let that investment go to waste without properly promoting it to make sure they get as much mileage out of it as possible. For the remainder of the year at least, it should be business as usual. Beyond that who knows...
-
Well considering some the ideas thrown around in the past, I'm not sure how confident I feel about their management. I mean, didn't they try to have Palet as possible new members of PASSPO☆ until fans killed that idea?
-
the key is the five girls silhouette that appear in the final.
Wouldn't it be extremely cruel to feature 3 of your loyal members in a video being excited about a new project and then kicking them out?
Besides that, they look like 5 blokes wearing hoodies to me.

Exactly. And the girls probably have contracts until the end of the year.
Sako going on indefinite leave is quite worrisome by the way.
-
off topic:
I understand it they have been the group with most shows in a year for two years running with over 100 shows a year.
you surely never heard of groups like Asfi. :lol: Passpo schedule is easy compared to groups that have up to three shows in different venues on the same day. Up Up not so long ago had eight shows in three days. and recently they were in a 11 days with consecutive shows streak.
on topic:
calm down, people. it's not the end of the world since they already have several festivals confirmed (including TIF) after that date. so Passpo is not ending. they may (and I guess they will) change a lot, but the group will not be exactly gone. if they go the band route they could still perform in idol festivals like Le Lien, Ganbare Victory, Band Jya Nai Mon... assuming they keep a foot in the idol territory, which I think they should. at least for a while till they can survive without wotas. but it is a difficult transition, if they really wanna try. gotta wish them luck.
edit:
Wouldn't it be extremely cruel to feature 3 of your loyal members in a video being excited about a new project and then kicking them out?
err depends on how it's done. I don't think anyone will be really "kicked" of the group. they probably know already exactly what will happen. and IF they get rid of three girls, surely they'll have a ceremony like when Makoto left. by the idol industry standards, I don't see anything cruel in a move like this.
my guess, trying to be a guru here, is that Sako's situation is the only thing up in the air still. they'll wait till that date to see if she has health conditions to keep with it or not. if okay, the three girls with less fans graduate. if not, then Nachu, Yukky and Sako leave while Naomin continues and plays guitar in the band. remember that Naomin and Sako both play that instrument. in a girl band context, Nachu and Yukky wouldn't be really necessary. commercially, makes sense to get rid of the girls with less fans. past year there were rumors around that Yukky has a boyfriend. so is not cruel at all if maybe the girls themselves feel it's time to move on. Naomin with model career, Nachu with... with... er... eating ice creams and drinking vodka all day long. rofl
-
^ I wouldn't see it as a big problem with two guitarists at all, many of the girl groups I've seen add an extra guitarist when playing concerts anyway (I know Silent Siren does).
-
^ I wouldn't see it as a big problem with two guitarists at all, many of the girl groups I've seen add an extra guitarist when playing concerts anyway (I know Silent Siren does).
Well typically a band would have a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar. Which is why you see many bands with two guitarists or bands who have support members to fill the secondary guitar positions.
-
of course. there's no problem at all in that, but I'm playing with the "five members" thing. Oppaipon keyboards and chorus, Morishi main vocals, Annya drums and MioMio bass. considering the fact they learned to play instruments not so long ago and still aren't that great, would make sense to have at least one of the guitar roles with a proper musician.
-
I think basing things on the end of that one video is probably a bit of a stretch so at this point I'm not worried.
(I only just saw it)
-
well, have to base the speculations on something real. right now that video is basically the only hint available. on what you suggest we base our guessing?
since MioMio tweeted this https://twitter.com/miomasui/status/584355256584183810 (https://twitter.com/miomasui/status/584355256584183810) some hours ago, I assume she won't leave the group soon. she is one of those five.
I saw some guys quoting some passages from Sako's blog in 2ch, but I don't read her blog so I dunno if they are really true. and I'm too lazy to check. :P but, from them, looks like Sako already hinted a graduation some months ago before Makoto left.
if someone can contribute with more info, the speculation can become more concrete.
-
well, have to base the speculations on something real. right now that video is basically the only hint available. on what you suggest we base our guessing?
What I meant if the five figures is all people are really basing this on it seems fetched to me, as someone else said it looks like 5 guys.
Anyway what is Sako's health issue? (I'm guessing asthma or something like that)
-
Regarding a second guitar: Morishi also plays it. Don't remember which song though.

She plays acoustic on "Shiny Road".
I enjoyed your blog-update :)

Also I forgot to mention this, but in that project reveal video were they trying to turn Super Saiyan? :lol:
-
The first graduated member Kaho Sakuma make a surprise appearance!!!

-
Cool little video. Their restaurant uniforms are growing on me.
-
Wow, the reaction to Mushu was underwhelming, if not for Morishi, Naomi and Nachu. Especially Aipon gave me the feeling of feeling threathened :P
But now the forthcoming revelation makes sense: BAND PASSPO will be established and Mushu joins Hachake Tai, substituting Morishi :lol: jk But strange anyway: Mushu didn't appear on their greatest moment today - TDCH - but randomly at another Tour Final. Must be Makochan then ;) Again jk
-
got me wondering too. first time she appears to see a show? really? then she knows that this tour final despite being smaller than the past one was way more meaningful.
:panic:
-
[speculation mode]
Anyway what is Sako's health issue? (I'm guessing asthma or something like that)
Something concerning her intestines/stomach if I understood correctly. She mentioned it in her blog last year, but not in great detail I think.
But as we all know 'health issues' are the common excuse to cover up internal friction in the industry.
It could very well be a metaphor for her frustrations; something eating her up inside. The fact that she made her decision in consultation with her agency (source: TGU) instead of on doctor's prescription supports this theory.
Which brings me to the possiblity of a 5 member Passpo band;
Personally the only plausible lineup involving 5 current members I can imagine would be Sako (leader), Mio and Anna (the 'core' - initiators of the entire band idea and most dedicted musicians) plus Naomi and possibly Shiori.
Ai would imo disturb the internal relationships. She's the idol-leader, not just a keyboard player in a startup band.
I always had the feeling the current band thing is just a big compromise to keep everybody on board (regarding the non-existent roles of Yukimi and Natsumi, and Mako in the past).
It would have been a far more natural evolution if Sako, Mio and Anna were the basis of a sub-unit. Maybe this would have been too much of a potential thread to the existence of Passpo for the management to agree/support. And I don't think Aipon would have been amused to put it mildly.
[/speculation mode]
Or Sakoti has a chronic disease which is really really sad.
But now the forthcoming revelation jk Again jk
But seriously, you, as their most dedicated overseas fan :thumbup must have some thoughts and ideas about what's coming, right?
I don't think it has anything to do with group changes, do you?
-
^
So, what you're speculating is that Sako's condition is some sort of excuse for her to pull out of the group, in the process eventually pulling Mio and Anna with her after that? Why does that sound eerily familiar. There is some basis though in that speculation because these 3 let it slip (at 11:35 to 11:52 in the showroom video below). Though those remarks may be made in jest, one has to wonder if deep down Anna, Mio and Sako really feel that they really dont need anyone else cos the 3 of them can already form the core of a band unit. After all, these 3 are the tightest of friends within Passpo:
Here's the episode for those of you who missed it:

-
But seriously, you, as their most dedicated overseas fan :thumbup must have some thoughts and ideas about what's coming, right?
I don't think it has anything to do with group changes, do you?
First, I am not the most devoted fan to PASSPO. For example to their New Years show a bunch of foreigners attended it as well. Although my frequent trips to Japan are based on seeing PASSPO again, I can not believe I am the only one. And there are others who support them majorly with other actions, like buying their CDs in masses, the magazines they appear in, and what not. No passenger is more special than the other.
But to answer your question: Right now I cann not believe to group splitting up in any way or Sako being on a hiatus for reason's other than an illness. Sako had been ill quite often the last year, canceling some shows as well. It was even discussed in the thread here. And I never had the impression of PASSPO members being other than friends. On the contrary: I haven't see them talking ill behind their backs. Even the constant punches at Nachu are not mean, but friendly teasing, which Nachu approves of. And the closeness is also stated by the fact, that neither with the departure of Kaho nor Makoto the group let anyone new intrude their company.
If anything, sub units are more reasonable to believe in. Be it Hachake Tai, Band Passpo or something entirely different. But I refrain from believing in a total disbandment. Would make no sense with this kind of annpouncement just to end in - nothingness. They didn't learn to play instruments just because of being bored.
Some graduations may be possible, but only for personal reasons like being fed up with being an idol and wanting to live a regular life. Nothing against that, but so far I don't feel it from any of them. Everyone could guess it from Makoto's behaviour, but so far everyone appears regularly on shows, marketing events,... and looks full of devotion - even Annya!
And to be honest, none of the members seem to have anything else up on their sleeves, at least nothing known to the public, as opposed to Makoto's situation, who was already deep in the movie business. Sako's interest in journalism, Naomi's modeling, Mio's creativity, Ai's popularity - all there but nothing that sounds like a future prospect in its current state.
The video you posted is great. I would even belive it to be an option for Mio and Anna. Sako seemed less interested in joining a band, though her fast improved skills on guitar tell otherwise. Have to agree with tsutomo, that Aipon on the keys, basically in the background, seems highly unlikely. If anything, sharing vocals with Morishi seems more possible. I believe that Morishi would love to be the center of the group.
-
Oppaipon has been sharing the vocals with Morishi for centuries, why would her now stop and be in the background playing only keyboards? :lol:
she is not the captain for no reason. if she's out of the new Passpo, band Passpo, whatever... the group is simply DONE. completely dead, won't sell a shit. like her or not, that's the truth. whatever is the project she is definitely in. and in a spotlight position.
although if people really want to speculate on a group without her... well, i'd like the idea because this would probably mean she goes the grabia idol route and appears in more magazines, pbs and dvds. yummy :jerk:
-
Got my Flight 2015 DVD last week. Been watching it since then. It's great! :)
My first DM upload. I hope it doesn't get taken down.

-
^ DM are not that bad at taking down stuff, and that's one of my favorites as well :)
After watching the DVD many times I have to say my initial favorite songs were some of the most boring live since they require the girls to be "cool" and I want smiles all over :) (I'm talking about the "heavy metal" songs like Wing and such).
Oppaipon has been sharing the vocals with Morishi for centuries, why would her now stop and be in the background playing only keyboards? :lol:
I don't think it would be a problem if it would be as in current band passpo (sharing vocals), only Annya should sit in the back everything would be fine :twisted:
On the other hand I'm not really for the group completely changing into band passpo since it's less interesting to watch.
-
On the other hand I'm not really for the group completely changing into band passpo since it's less interesting to watch.
I share the same opinion. with or without Nachu, I wish they continue as idols. :)
-
Understand your reasoning. But for me I prefer PASSPO's heavier style of the last 2 years and in comparion dislike their idolish songs. It is why I prefer the live band part on the DVD, for its use of more recent songs. I don't care if the girls jump around dancing or playing instruments as long as the music is good. The band concept just seems to have more future for a continuing of the group and personally I find the approach very interesting - from idols turning into complete band. But that is just my take on it.

I prefer the heavier sound as well but basically I like every single song on the last two albums, and "Check-In" is also pretty good, however the first album has some pretty bad songwriting, I mean even for a jpop song I think GPP is pretty terrible.
But I also like variety so I don't mind the ballads and poppier songs, as I mentioned above the heavier songs from "One World" especially are pretty boring to watch.
-
No passenger is more special than the other.
You sound like a footballplayer after scoring a hattrick. Thanks for your reply.
I share the same opinion. with or without Nachu, I wish they continue as idols. :)
That's the project. Natsumi's gonna leave to form a duo with Rioton so they need 5 new girls to compensate for the loss of awesomeness.
But yeah, please don't turn into a Scandal clone. Just keep on practicing until Mio can rock like Gachapins' Koga.
-
According to the latest newsletter from Passpo, Sako is NOT graduating (well at least not at this point).
そんなこんなで、さこちゃんからの休業発表がありました。
んー。やっぱり少しさみしい部分はありますが、卒業ではないので。PASSPO☆から離れちゃうわけではないので。安心してください。
まあさこちゃんのことを見る機会が減っちゃうのは残念なことだし、さこちゃん推しにとっては悲しいことだけど、さこちゃんが悩んで悩んで決めたことだし、もりは今まで人のために動いてたから休業期間は、自分としっかり向き合って欲しいです。
-
^ and no breakup.
The timing of Sako's news and the upcoming project is just disastrous from a marketing point of view.
Instead of building up hype for the new album it gets completely overshadowed by vagueness and people worrying about Sako.
If they had just let her make a statement after her last show (on 31.5) the negative emotions would have been neutralised by the immediate following of the disclosure of the new project and she could have worked on her recovery in piece and quiet.
[edited; added date]
-

I thought she did make a statement at a concert before making the blog post!
-
That may be right thing to do...just that circumstances and timing is not anybody's control for that matter... But if she kept quiet about it, and then in the event her health ever deteriorates, there will be people who speculates that Sako is suffering from a terminal illness. I really hope this is just a chronic illness (that it could be cured and she could recover over time), cos I do worry about her since this illness since she's been living with it for a long time now...the last thing I want to hear is that it's terminal
-
On the other hand, by announcing it early, it generates discussion among fans and for those who can go see PASSPO, they might be more inclined to go because they don't know what will happen to Sakoti. It sounds evil but, as it has been proven many times before, these kind of tactics are fairly common. I will be shocked if the flight on May 31st is not sold out.
Based on how many posts this thread had since her announcement, it worked didn't it?
-
So I ended up the buying the DVD and finished watching it several hours ago. While I will admit I kinda zoned out/almost fell asleep during the beginning, everything picked up for me once the ground crew came into play. If I didn't leave my PS3 in the living room, I'd probably rewatching it right now in my "office". Although after watching the little snippets of what got cut out in the special section, I'm kind of mad that stuff didn't make it to the DVD. Like I'm curious to how the whole Hacchake Tai thing works and they freaking cut No. 1 Boy. :banghead: I will say though that I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of "Beast In You" that starts off disc 2. That intro was pretty epic to me with the violin players and the ground crew.
Also in retrospect, I feel like I'm being honeypotted . . .
-
What does "honeypotted" mean?
Yea, and those snippets are only some of the songs missing there. Such a pity and disappointment. I can see it no other way.
I still don't understand why they haven't done Economy/business/First Class Editions with the DVD as well, including excerpts and the full show. And don't come me with costs. A proper management can do that!
-
Not sure if this is an accurate definition, but based on the movie I heard the word from it suggests honeypot means to be "seduced by someone for their own personal gain". Which I kind of feel like PASSPO☆ is doing to me . . .
-
I get what you mean then, I think. It can be seen that way. They announced the show with 'performing all songs' and then just release a cut version of it, still long and valuable, but not as impressive as it could have been. The initial mistake was in my perspective that they had already decided on two DVDs from the start. This is based on the fact they already sold preorders right after the show. Therefore they totally miscalculated the time of the show and couldn't extent to 3 DVDs as preorders then would have meant to be changed completely.
-
I was talking about in general though, like considering the circumstances, usually I would also join in on the paranoia/pessimism talk about Sako and the new project. However, for some odd reason I seem to be more occupied fanboying over them/getting "senpai to notice me" and seem to be ignoring what else seems to be going on.

In happier news, Yukkii's birthday is tomorrow! Everyone go eat something obscenely big and go get drunk!

Makes me wonder if Yukky has an insanely-obscene L-size paycheck judging by the size of the food/drinks she ordered. :lol:

Looks like one of those you get for free if you can eat it all, I can eat a lot but I definitely couldn't eat that burger.

Nice find.
If I'm reading this correctly, there are 3 songs we already know. The rest are all new.
It's also a little shorter than the other albums :huhuh
「you」
Sequel to 「I」? :P
I wonder when the Honey Dish video will be released... The album is releasing in a little over a month. It has to be soon.
-
No, 4 songs are "old": Hinawari, Fake, Perfect Sky, Shiny Road. I don't care about the running time. Less songs promise to make a tighter album.
The intro song called Immigration Control. Nice. I expect some English announcement there :P
Oh, and finally a recorded version of Hachake Sensation.
-
I looked up Hacchake Sensation, because I have never heard of it before. I found it strangely appealing . . . :nervous
PASSPO☆ - Hacchake Sensation (ぱすぽ☆ - はっちゃけセンセーション) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlwaMAxcBuE#)
I can honestly picture me listening to a studio recording of this numerous times on repeat.
-
It is the sub-unit Hachake Tai only song. The other being Kibun wa Saiko Saiko Saiko. Some people dislike it but for me it's fun! (Maybe because it features my 3 favourite members :lol: )
They started performing it live since last summer. But as it is now released on the album, I don't see an official Hachake Tai release that is unconnected to PASSPO in the near future.
-
Oh yeah, I was also disappointed the Saiko Saiko song didn't make the cut on the DVD, but a snipet of it is in the extras.
-
Let's hope Mio's hamburger-song kicks some ass.
-
btw. How are the chances of PASSPO doing a release event, were they work as maids and serving passengers Beef or Chicken? :D
JK, but they did something like that in the deep past...
-
I remember one Akiba Cultures show they joked about having fans eat fish (those whole fish with the bones still in them like a mackerel.) with Naomi since she was really good at it.
LinQ did a limited ramen place for their 5th single since there was ramen in the music video. Maybe if they had the album as the price of entry and everything the fans order from them was a la carte? But then that wouldn't be an effective use of time would it? Typical release event = mini live (15-30 minutes), handshake and chekis take longer but everyone in line already bought at least 1 CD so...
Yukkii does those for a side job so the company foots the bill: http://ima.goo.ne.jp/column/writer/37_1.html (http://ima.goo.ne.jp/column/writer/37_1.html)
Actually went to one of the locations of that izakaya with the giant beer. Aside from being able to take a picture, I don't recommend ordering it because it won't stay cold if you're a slow drinker.
-
Yea, too bad Passpo is too popular for such event. Would be something out of the order. Like the Mad Tea Party thing I heard about from groups like Gothic Lolita Syndrome, 2&,...
Yea. I avoid big glasses of beer because of that reason. Especially in summer it warms up fast. And I am not the fastes drinker.
-
AKB is way more famous and they had a handshake event where the girls would serve you a somen, not so long ago. I don't remember now if it was HKT, Not Yet or some other one, but it was pretty curious, to say the least.
*edit: I just remembered Not Yet had one where they served kakigoori, for that "naminori kakigoori" single.
-
True. But I mean some real event, where they won't just serving the food and then go away but stay at the table to talk with you and such, even doing small shows inbetween. What you mentioned was kind of similar to the Passpo event they did for Natzusora Hanabi in Hibiya back in the days?
But for the record: My idea was just kidding around. I know it will not happen. But just imagine them doing such thing as a FC event, with a limited amount of people and stream it like the Hachake Night - nice thought and great fan service.
-

I think HKT had some event where you went on a boat with them and maybe ate with them. Oh, but I think you are right, AKB was doing something at their handshake where you got served popcorn or drinks or something by them. It also was only a little while ago that Tokyo Girls Style had a dinner event at a restaurant with fans, and they aren't even meant to be idols anymore!
-
basically what wattstax wants is too see his dream realized: Passpo members working as maids. :P
not so long ago, Chu-Z and Afilia Saga members did that. unfortunately nowadays because of busy schedules they appear just once or twice a month in their maid cafes/bars. but I'm aware Chu-Z sister group Wendee still appears frequently in their bars (harajuku and hachioji). and talking about sister groups, don't Predia and Palet have events once in a while in that noodle cafe at akihabara? never went there so I dunno how it works, if they actually pretend to work as waitresses or something. if someone already went to some, plz share the experience. I'd love to read. :)
edit: just came back from the kombini and the new edition of Young King magazine has a gorgeous eight page photo shooting with Macocchan. she looks more beautiful than when she was still in the group. but maybe it's just the photoshop use. :P
-
I think Noodol Cafe is connected to Platinum Promotion/Passport (agency for PASSPO, palet, predia, 3min, FYT, etc) so they may have worked there before but, when I went in December it was mostly girls that hadn't debuted with a group yet.
http://noodol-cafe.com/ (http://noodol-cafe.com/)
Basically you buy a ticket for instant ramen or a soda (500 yen for someone random, 800 yen if there's someone you specifically request) and you sit and talk with them for 3 minutes until the ramen is ready. It was okay since I had no expectation going in, as in I had no idea who the girl was before I sat down, if it was someone I was a fan of, it would have been better, I think.
I saw Chu-Z announce the bar/cafe thing a few months ago but didn't go. Maybe I'll go the next time they do?
Backstage Pass has been good at times but last time it was kind of dead. That's not good for a place that charges 900 yen for beers but, then again AKB48 cafe is about the same price and there's even less interaction there.
FC events are different since the fans usually pay up front (membership fees plus the cost of the event).
-
well, looking at the schedule in the link you provided, I can see at least Runa and Yuzuka from Predia worked there, in these last few days. if it works as you said, then I'm definitely going there the next time Runa shows up, since she is one of my favorites and 800 yens for 3 minutes is WAY cheaper than what we usually spend in handshake events. ;)
as for Chu-Z you should follow the bars twitter accounts, where they put up frequently the shifts. https://twitter.com/802milk and https://twitter.com/hy186 unfortunately the latter appears to be dead now. and in Harajuku is exactly where the Chu-Z girls nowadays show up, in order to promote the newer venue. :(
one thing I have to admit is that AKB cafe has imo the best menu from all these cafe/bars in this 'genre'. and that collectible coaster thing is pretty cool and addictive. I remember going there with some friends and drinking like half dozen drinks just for the damn coasters. rofl I wish Afilia Saga maid cafes had something to collect like that.

Runa will be at the Noodol Cafe the 16th, Yuzuka and Mai will be there too.

New Hacchake Tai video but i don't know what is it about :
むりやりPASSPO☆ ♯28 はっちゃけ隊 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WABselptRXQ#ws)
-
They talked a lot about a new uniform, and that it should be different for summer. TIF was also mentioned. Maybe they will get a individual Hackake Tai uniform now, instead the former PASSPO clothing? But I can only guess.
-
In regards to Sakoti interviewing the director named "Smith", I found this translated interview with him that I remember reading last year. I totally forgot that he did the video for Vivi Natsu!
http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/featured/intervew-smith.html (http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/featured/intervew-smith.html)
He also did a bunch of videos for Team Shachihoko and Dempagumi so...
-
Oh, I was partially right with the video. Hachake Tai was added for the line up of TIF!

And so, YUKKI officially kicks off the game:

Also I'm not quite over the whole Sakotee situation, I'm going to cry if she leaves :cry:

Hm, the video is nothing special. But I really like the song. I love Annya's hair in it and that they included their instruments.

Awesome! Thanks for that. Video quality isn't very good but at last we have the whole song. I hope an HD version will soon pop up somewhere.

For years i've thought the world Kawaii had "Mio Masui" as definition.
I kinda sill think it, but we shoudn't forget that MioMio is now a 20yo woman.

-
I want to agree, but Ai won't let me . . .
-
She will. Since Ai is not kawaii but super hot ;)
Mio is still my definition of cuteness. But I am not so fond of such :D
-
That's not the point, this is in relation to when I stated previously that there was a time I tried to oshihen to Mio but my efforts were always thwarted by Ai.
-
For me, seeing Mio in outfits as revealing as that feels wrong somehow...it feels like seeing my own sister in her underwear.. :oops: you know, the awkward situation one will be faced with afterwards. :smhid I guess no matter how old she is, I will always have this mental image of her as my lil sis.
And Aipon, get back in bed, dear....
http://youtu.be/gYkpmEAJKAI (http://youtu.be/gYkpmEAJKAI)
-
Seeing sister in her underwear/naked? Why is that awkward? I believed this to be a pure Anime myth o_O

After Mio, (http://admin.brightcove.co.jp/viewer/jp20141117.1353/BrightcoveBootloader.swf?playerID=610169740001&playerKey=AQ~~%2CAAAAjh5048k~%2CtuIPXezLUiH3tYhFiGY5nNm_BeWM4ZDq&%40videoPlayer=874260803002&autoStart=&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&debuggerID=&dynamicStreaming=true&flashID=myExperience874260803002&height=169&isUI=true&isVid=true&startTime=1430579811670&width=300) it was Annya's turn to pose for the camera (http://admin.brightcove.co.jp/viewer/jp20141117.1353/BrightcoveBootloader.swf?playerID=610169740001&playerKey=AQ~~%2CAAAAjh5048k~%2CtuIPXezLUiH3tYhFiGY5nNm_BeWM4ZDq&%40videoPlayer=874606627002&autoStart=&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&debuggerID=&dynamicStreaming=true&flashID=myExperience874606627002&height=169&isUI=true&isVid=true&startTime=1430579811653&width=300).
Next should be Naomin.
-
What is this for? Some kind of magazine they'll be appearing in? Probably meant to coincide with the album's release...
-
It's for the photobook (PASSPO☆ no dappi) that will be released on may 23rd. ;)
It'll be a mature PB (Ero Kawaii according to Mio) that will symbolize the metamorphosis of the members towards adults.
PS : There is too much Morishi avatar here, she's mine guys. :twisted:
-
good news! POPOPO just uploaded a tranche of videos:
http://youtu.be/rTD-JVS8HyQ (http://youtu.be/rTD-JVS8HyQ)
I thought Yukki should've graduated from University? Somewhere after 2:30, Sako mentioned about wanting to graduate the same time as her. Isn't Yukki kinda like Sako's sempai? :?
And DAYUM!! that PB is gonna sell like hot cakes!
-
Yeah I saw those were posted yesterday and instantly downloaded them all just in case.
There were a couple of niconico clips uploaded as well by another user.

ah, thanks immergeil, looks like I'm gonna spend the entire weekends just catching up on these videos.. :D
And on Sako, I just think with her being on hiatus, she must've used a lot of her free time to reflect and think about her life as an idol...hence all that introspective posts. I hope that's all that is (and she's not thinking of abruptly leaving)

I don't think she has started her hiatus yet, I think she stops performing at the end of this month.
And I really don't want her quit since she's my second favorite.
Apparently Sako wrote the lyrics for San Minute's Kiss Emotion, I'm not familiar with the group but it's not terrible.

thanks God Popopopopo is back. now I may get interested in this group again.
-
I know it's quite hard to hear with all the talking/screaming going on, but any thoughts on the songs playing in the background during that release video?
First a quite standard (heavy) album opener, but then, how about that very atypical Passpo song starting at 9:45? A slow rock-anthem with lots of whoos/yeahs... I wonder how this going to look like during a live show; hands in the air and bang your head :rockon:?
Then (part of) a faster song starting at 15:30 which is also very rock orientated (with Mori ending the chorus in Wing-style).
So far less pop, more rock :guitar:! I'm just getting excited, can't wait!
[edit: nevermind, the album's 100% Passpo]
-
I can't even make out the songs in the background, I just hear random noise behind them talking. :(
-
Yesterday, during their Showroom broadcast, the entire album 'premiered' in the background...which I think was a rather strange decision but whatever. It's safe to say the new songs cover every aspect of their sound, as expected maybe.

I wouldn't want it any other way :)

Radio-rip of You :guitar:
Passpo - You (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2pf11d_passpo-you_music)
Edit: Really nice song. I like it a lot. :)
-
After a first listen, I love it.
edit:
Does anyone know what the exclusive tracks on the low carrier class releases are supposed to be?
- AUDIO PROGRAM「Peach」the first volume
- AUDIO PROGRAM「Peach」the second volume
- AUDIO PROGRAM「Vanilla」the first volume
- AUDIO PROGRAM「Vanilla」the second volume
I really don't feel like getting multiple versions of this album but I'm still curious what those are.
-
Not sure but I think it's just "talk".
-
PS : There is too much Morishi avatar here, she's mine guys. :twisted:
I observed that too. Would it bother you when I admit, she climbed to No. 2 position for me? :P

Hey guys! I came from passpofan forum, I'm glad to see a lot of pax here!

Welcome :)

I have a feeling I know the new user...
damn, this place uil (pun intended) become unbearable. :panic:
-
I think I know who it is as well pretty sure I just followed him on twitter the other day.
-
Is knowing this guy a good or a bad thing :? ?
Also CDJapan shipped my Beef Or Chicken album the other day, but I don't know when it'll get here so I'm just here killing time in anticipation :bleed eyes: . . .
-

Same, I usually always order from Amazon since they are cheaper but I wanted the poster this time.
-

Yeah, I started ordering from Amazon too for the same reason, plus their shipping is so fast. However, I had all these CDJapan points that were going to expire back in March and they had the poster bonus listed for this album. So that's why I ended up using those points to get the album from them instead.
Edit: Are these the posters that are being given out with orders? They look a lot bigger than I imagined . . .
(http://i.imgur.com/LX94QhB.jpg)
-
Not sure, those look very big like A0 I expect the one we get is A2 sized which is a quarter of A0.
Also Passpo will be on LoGiRL in 40 mins from now -> http://logirl.favclip.com/live/
^ that was pretty funny, they had a comedian as a guest apparently he's known for always appearing in his underwear.
Here's a solo version video of Hanabi with Morishi, if you want to see any of the other members version just let me know.

I'm a friend of tsutomo and wattstax too, good guy and a little bit CRAZY for passpo :panic:
But thank you guys XD
-
I just bought a new album from itunes, and I really like the song
いたずらRock'n'Roll, You, Fairy Tale, and Heaven burger.
-

I suppose you are talking about yourself here, right? you are definitely over-attacked to this group and you know it. thanks God Oppaipon lives far away from you otherwise she would have been already kidnapped and locked in your room. :lol:
and everyone knows that wattstax is just a poser. he says that likes Passpo but in reality he only cares about Bellring. he uses Passpo only to get more views to his blog since Bellring is irrelevant. :P
while me... well, I guess everyone noticed already that I'm a sick hater. :roll:
just to stay on topic, I downloaded the album and will listen to it later. wasn't too excited to buy it so I saved some money.
-
If he kidnaps her, I'm totally going to have to pull a Liam Neeson. Never mind the fact that I don't have any particular set of skills that would make this even realistically possible . . .
-
Guys, please don't let her sit there all alone with all those stacks of unsold Discs :smhid
(http://i.imgur.com/EiBNxMe.jpg)
I guess it's time to buy BEEF OR CHICKEN (but before that, I gotta eat first) :lol:
-
Mine is on the way, but I would have bought one if I was there.
Anyone know what the 3000 yen Blue-Ray ad in the background is for?
-
It's definitely not for a PASSPO product, that's for sure!
Anyways, here's my first impressions of the album in 1-2 sentences per track. I'm leaving out the songs that were previously released. Disclaimer: I had a few drinks before writing this so, I may change my mind tomorrow or next week.
1. Immigration Control - It's a new version of their intro music (a la Ignition or Full Throttle) with some added electronic flourishes.
2. Honey Dish - It feels like an answer to Candy Room minus the guy. Needs more cowbell and Yukkii hot pants but, points for Anya and Nachu chugging straight from the bottle in the video.
3. Itazura Rock n Roll - There's a strong classic rock feel to it (again with random electronic effects thrown in) with all the "Woah-oh!" and "Yeah-eah!" bits in there to sing along with. Kind of an old school Joan Jett "I Love Rock n Roll" feel to it.
4. Not in Theory (Sako wrote the lyrics for this one) - A lot of chugging guitars and the solo sounds like old Megadeth to me (If only it were Sako playing the solo!). Looking forward to seeing this one live when Sako is back.
7. Heaven's Burger (Mio wrote the lyrics for this one) Kind of a cutesy simple (beat, chord progression) rock song with xylophones; like one of those idol groups that never do rock experimenting with rock.
8. High Tension Emotion (Naomi wrote the lyrics for this one) - Feels like it could be fun live since it's structured for crowd participation (lots of parts where fan could go "woo-hoo" and stuff).
11. YOU (Aipon wrote the lyrics for this one) - Trying too hard to be "American". It might take a few more listens for it to grow on me, or not.
12. Fairy Tale - Not terrible or amazing. I'm not sure if I like the fingerpicking (?) acoustic guitar and marching drum beat motif that runs through it.
13. Hacchake Sensation - One of the funnest Hacchake-tai songs is finally on a CD! I'll drink to that!

I don't feel bad for not buying this one. I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
not counting the bonus track from Hacchake Tai (that I always thought is too dumb to my taste, have no need for it. thankfully I downloaded the economic version of the album :P ) and the intro song, we have 11 tracks. with 4 previously released. that's a damn quick album.
out of the 7 new songs, only 2 ("fairy tale" and "not in theory") have a more mature approach song-wise. the rest are basically bubblegum rock. I guess it matches well with their new style (art covers, song and cd titles, uniforms...) BUT it wasn't what I was expecting. judging by their comments and their release trackback, I thought they'd have their more mature (not necessarily heavier although I wanted more songs like "not in theory") till now. what I got was an album that reminds me too much of "check in" and is a step down quality wise from the previous two very good albums. since "check in" is still sales wise their best release, here's me hoping that at least they can repeat the same commercial success. :peace:

So... Sakotee account washijacked by a anti?
-
What you mean??? Hijacked??? :?
Do you want me to correct your german signature, an obvious variation of Borussia Mönchengladbach's stadium hymn? ;)
I haven't listened to the album yet, but like most of you guys I ordered from cdjapan the First Class Edition. I am highly anticipating it and contrary to tsutomo I expected them to return in sound to their earlier releases. But what mixedmedia said about it sounds promising and I really love to learn about the fact, that now 4 members have written lyrics for it. I can't wait to finally listen to Hachake Sensation. Why they even skipped that song on the DVD I will never understand... :smhid
Does anyone know if they played instruments themselves on one of the tracks?

^Earlier today, Sako - or Sako's account, if you believe management - sent out a tweet essentially saying that she's been subjected to perverted stuff since becoming an idol, and that it would have been better for her had she never entered the industry. (thanks to @OsakaJooooooooe on Twitter for the rough translation)
(Picture here (https://twitter.com/yuko_forever17/status/598519197979660288), along with Mio's old tweet about having "already been penetrated".)
Management responded that Sako's account had been hacked, and as a result Sako's Twitter account was completely wiped. Passpo has been trending on Twitter in Japan all day.
-
well, once they hacked MioMio, now Sako... it's sad to see this group being targeted by idiots, specially since it's not so common to see things like this, even with far more famous groups.
yeah wattstax, you are right. having seen their past tour, I should know better that the album was bound to go this way, not another. reading my own comments I said earlier how they were apparently heading towards an earlier Passpo look... my poor memory strikes again, rofl
-

You have to see the positive side of it: With your memory you can now be compared to Nachu, who doesn't remember you anymore :P
-
We had some discussion about Sako's (mental) health and management's following actions a month ago...
On the other hand, by announcing it early, it generates discussion among fans and for those who can go see PASSPO, they might be more inclined to go because they don't know what will happen to Sakoti. It sounds evil but, as it has been proven many times before, these kind of tactics are fairly common. I will be shocked if the flight on May 31st is not sold out.
Based on how many posts this thread had since her announcement, it worked didn't it?
And today...
Passpo has been trending on Twitter in Japan all day.
Well, this is could be part of the same crazy/brilliant guerilla-marketing plan.
-
^just two words:
platinum production
:lol:
-
But anyway, about the new album;
Not in Theory sounds like old Megadeth to me
Just what I thought! 'The Hikouki of Consequences'.
But yeah, first thing that really stands out is the overal simplicity of the album, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
-
Don't fuck with Sako or I'll mess you up... /shakes fist.

About Sakotee's situation:
Makita Sako
Forced
to do sexual favors?
SAKOTEE
FORCED TO DO
SOMETHING?
HAHAHAHA, COME ON.
If she wants to do something like this, Sako would graduate before it. But PASSPO is always been surrounded in a cloud of doubts about "sexuality" of them. You know, the CA idols are more "free" than another idols in general. If they are more "sexual" or not, I don't care, but some anti-Passpo fans (or other-idol group fans) exaggerate in comments about it. Miomio, Aipon, Sakotee, Naomin and Yukkii names are involved in these "jokes", or even provocation. It is a idiot who don't accept the actual popularity of Passpo (like one who threw a penlight on PO stage in TIF 2014). :angry:
So, seeing the good side of it, more promotion to Passpo :lol:
-
:angry: :angry:
First of all, this is SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS. :angry: There is nothing that anyone can say about Sako that will diminish the love and admiration I have for her. I mean...who would do such a thing?!! What did Sako ever do to him/her or anyone else for that matter ? :smhid
Secondly, C'mon...a sweet girl next door like her?...doing SEXUAL FAVOURS?! If you ask anyone who know PASSPO, they will tell you it's simply PREPOSTEROUS! It gets even more ridiculous if one knows her strong work ethics (she IS acknowledged as the most hardworking crew member, right?) plus that journalistic pursuit, and the fact that she's writing lyrics, is one of the better guitar players I know,...is she one of the TALENTLESS IDOLS who have to resort to SEXUAL FAVOURS to get ahead in life or popularity?! Sheesh...my blood is BOILING! This is NOT OK...regardless of what any of you who think this publicity could be anything but bad one, I disagree...NOBODY (that applies to EVERYONE) deserves to get their name dragged in the mud like this, not even if Universal Japan can profit from it. If I ever get hold of the perpetrator, I'd personally do the water-boarding torture treatment on him/her.
Now that I'm done with my rant, I just think that whoever is behind this DEPLORABLE STUNT is either in serious need to be institutionalized in a mental asylum, or he/she couldn't deal with the perfection (or the multi-talented quality) of Sako Makita. Another theory I have that ties to mental illness is that he/she may be a hardcore fan who was somewhat ticked off at attending flights which somehow did not feature her, and is frustrated now more than ever that she will be going on hiatus pretty soon, hence pulling this thing off. After all, there is a saying right that you hurt the one you love?

that's not exclusive to Passpo. all the Platinum groups receive a lot of (most of the time undeserved) attacks from other fans because... it's Platinum Production.
-
CA idols? People don't like Platinum Productions? Someone needs to fill this n00b in . . .
-
People don't like Platinum Productions?
the agency has a bad fame, thanks to bad handling of some situations, rumors and some sad cases (notably Miyu Uehara`s suicide). can`t really say it`s uncalled or undeserved, though clearly people tend to attack the wrong (weaker) side (aka the idols) and not exactly the producers. Platinum and Alice Project are viewed by most as the "black agencies".
-
In other news the album is selling well :)
-
nice to see the other members comments on twitter. tonight they announced the showroom program will feature the whole group. maybe this problem has something to do with this, in order to clear things out? they`ll most likely talk about it, so I think everyone should try to watch it.

Oh, I never knew Platinum were as well, or that they had a suicide as well as AP...
nice to see the other members comments on twitter.
What have they been saying?
-
I saw Annya writing along the lines "don't you think that if Platinum was a bad agency like that I'd have got out of it already?" and MioMio wrote denying the sexual favors too.
they just addressed the incident in the beginning of showroom's program. said they are sorry for all the worrying caused and to people to stay calm cuz they are well and it was all lies written on twitter. they appear to be in good mood. well, at least the transmission has attracted a lot of interest and they received lots of "towers" already. rofl
edit: they established a new record of viewers.

They had all-member showrooms for their last release events too. Still remember the one for Himawari. I could not imagine them talking about it, at least not in detail. And they shouldn't. Just puts the attacket in the limelight.
I never understood the Showroom presents thingy. I also forgot my password...
-
They went to Yoko-san's grave and poured Jack Daniels on it. Kind of strange to know that the new album was released on the anniversary of his death.
Sako seemed pretty quiet. I missed the first few minutes.
-

Sorry for my ignorance but who is that?
-
Yoko-san (Akihiro Yokoyama) was the leader of Japanese metal band UNITED and the bassist of The Ground Crew (PASSPO's backing band) before he passed away last year on May 13th. It was explained that he was part of the reason that "Himawari" exists and the reason Mio was crying when she played the bass for the song at their New Year's Day live.
-
Sako is usually like that though. Mio-Annya-Oppaipon dominated the program.
-
I never expected them to bring something like that up in a showroom, but anyway I wasnt surprised it was her closest buddies Anna and Mio who spoke up about it. And Mio..beneath that exterior is a gentle soul

YUkkii had some moments as well with her whole tucked-in T-shirt thing and shoes discussion.
-

Oh that was why she was acting that way, never knew much about Japanese metal, but United seems like a band I would have been into back in the day.
Sako seemed pretty normal to me it wasn't like she wasn't talking.
-
Was happy about Yukki's post about Yoko-sans memorial.
Album is no. 4 on daily charts, but the important position will be the weeklies, and of course the amount of sold copies.
Update:
Just listened to the album the first time and it is by far not what I had expected, but in a good way! It gives me a lot of Classic Rock feel, esp. Fairy Tale reminds me of a tune Michael Schenker would write. The only resemblance to their early days are the often included wohoo's, yeah's and what not. I agree this should be great during lives. But I never thought the album surpassing JeJeJeJet! in terms of heaviness. Not only Not in Theory, but tracks like High Tension, despite its disco rhythym. Aipon's YOU has the most American vibe in my opinion, with Itazura Rock'n'Roll and Heaven's Burger I must still get comfortable. This album should convince anyone who believes PASSPO not being Rock Idols.
In summary it seems to be a great album, but have to listen to it more. Right now I still prefer the predecessors, which in comparison strangely seems to have more of an Idol touch.

Hey julpasen, who had the idea with the Sako-Day? You believe she will take notice of it?
@Jul3
Nope, the Twitter situation had nothing to do with it. Sacotee announced weeks earlier before of her planned hiatus after 31.05.2015. Seems the hacker just used this as "motivation".

So... this word "fiasco" is inappropriate. And yes, this hacker used her hiatus to hacked her TT.

Oh and on another note, I finally got my album in the mail. So far I want to say I like Fairy Tale the most, then next for me would be High Tension Emotion and Heaven's Burger. I haven't quite decided on my ranking on the other new songs yet, but I think they're all mostly good or decent songs. Although I probably should give this album a couple days of listening to process this more.

JEJEJEJET!! or TRACKS?
I didn't notice that the FCB had solo versions of Candy Dish before. I might have to go pick it up just for that?
Or maybe get the book instead?

^ Jeejjejejejejt sold ~6.3K in total (was that 4K in the first week?), Tracks still outsells Beef.
But 12K sales, I'm impressed!
So the Makochan-factor seems to be not so important after all. Looks like the extensive touring paid dividend in the long run.
Could this mean bigger venues/better stage production (+ more Ground Crew) and less karaoke shows? Would be cool imo.
-

I`d credited these sales to 1- Sako`s departure. if you saw the number of people in the release events lining up to have a last chance to take a photo/handshake with her, u`d be surprised. 2- the rumors about the group`s future. there`s a lot of uncertainty going on now in the wota circles and the fear that this may be the last album of Passpo as we know it. I wouldn`t label their recent tours as "extensive" either, but there`s more a semantics issue I guess.

Concerning the support for Sako; that's really nice to hear, good for her!
But I meant the last 3 years or so of touring. Based on their singles sales which climbed over the years from an average of 10K (singles from One World) -> 17.5K (JET) -> 25K (Beef) there must be some positive effect, I dearly hope for them...
But you're right, negative shit sells better than anything else, agreed.
-
Sold 12k for an album who is more idolish than rockish, who has Sako factor and Easter Egg factor on May 31st is VERY significant.
(that's why TRACKS should be an single, not an best-of album)
Sold 3 times more are unexpected.
That's why I guess they should do other single between june and august, to maintain the hype.
Besides this, congrats to them!

Does anyone know if the bonus poster given by cdjapan with a purchase of Beef or chicken is also available for overseas buyers? It must be somewhat expensive for them to ship a poster overseas.
Also, anyone know if there's a way to buy the poster separately?

Yes it can be shipped overseas, I bought One World pre-order and it came with the bonus poster indeed.
The shipping pricing is as detailed, and yes, versions with poster are more expensive to ship, it comes all in a big box with both the CD/DVD/Blu Ray and the poster rolled up.
Likely you can't get the poster separately, as they usually are a limited purchase item.
You can at best buy it 2nd hand if you can't get 1st press editions anymore.

Were you got the sales for TRACKS? But anyway, I don't count Best-Of-Albums. With predecessor I meant JEJEJEJET.
You are right with the sales numbers for JEJEJEJET though. My mistake. But it then doubled its amount. That is also great!
What you mean with karaoke shows? These are found with Alice Project. PASSPO sings live during their flights.
KalvinET is right. Poster are also sent overseas. I got mine :D But last time I checked, the poster with FCE were sold out.
-
(that's why TRACKS should be an single, not an best-of album)
I agree with that. they already had a double compilation not so long ago and decided to put another compilation out with just one (mediocre) new song on it... that`s at least a questionable approach from the management. and I hope for a new single too, though I`d guess we`ll have to wait till around august for it. Predia who`s on a hot run recently announced the next single will be released just by the end of august, I`d expect a similar or bigger waiting with this group then.

The posters are a bonus for buying the item, so they aren't sold on their own.
There are a few places that give posters, cdjapan but I also think you can get it from the Universal music shop and HMV but I've heard that HMV fold the posters - anyways at this point it's unlikely there are any places that still has posters, your best bet would be something like Buyee.
(that's why TRACKS should be an single, not an best-of album)
I agree that it was unnecessary to release another best of album so soon, on the other hand I was happy with the DVD which made it worth it for me anyways.
-
Were you got the sales for TRACKS?
On Oricon.co.jp, by ordering the albums by amount sold. You only get to know Tracks is the highest seller, not the actual amount.
What you mean with karaoke shows? These are found with Alice Project. PASSPO sings live during their flights.
A backing tape. You mean they (AP) don't sing live? Well, that's a healthy decision for such a bunch of cowboys.
-
Ok, I need numbers.
how much TRACKS sold? 13k? 15k?
So, about new single... I bet for July 9th, because for with a huge coincidence, all 2015 releases were in important dates... in São Paulo City.
(March 23rd, May 13rd and 23rd)
My FCB is in PO for 6 days, but it only took 3 days to leave Tokyo and arrive in São Paulo (~18,000 kilometers)
thanks Correios. :panic:
-
Yeah to corroborate everyone else's story, I live in California and got the poster for Beef Or Chicken with the album. Granted they kind of rolled it too tight, so getting it unrolled is kind being a bit harder than usual. I think shipping it air mail cost me around $9-10 USD. But yeah, CDJapan says the posters are all out at this point due to it being a limited bonus of some sort.
Also I look at Tracks as me buying it more for the fact it had a DVD with most of their music videos.

Come the 31st, I'm gonna cry
http://youtu.be/GTuj1hiowaY
I wonder if I'll ever see her in Passpo videos again.
And is it just me, or there is a deliberate subtle attempt in conditioning us for a future split of Passpo?
Take this for example:
http://youtu.be/3H5XUwtCiuE
The Hacchake Tai gang is almost always at the back row, or at least sitting in the same row together, while the Sako-Mio-Annya posse plus-Captain Aipon combi sits together. This has been going on for some time now and I couldnt help but noticed the same trend in the seating arrangement in the recent Showrooms as well when they appeared as a group. Am I the only one who notice these things?

I haven't been following this thread too closely since it was first announced but, anyway. Last I heard, on May 31 she was taking a leave of absence for medical reasons. Has there been new developments regarding this? Is she leaving for good?
-

Not happy about the situation either and I think she will probably not come back :cry:

Honestly it would make no sense to somehow hint a split in that way, what would be the point?

Morishi's shoot.

Next will be Yukki, Mako is the 9th and last. :)
-
Mako? :huhuh
-
I'm pretty sure they ALWAYS seated in the back...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxHoPUirwT4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxHoPUirwT4)
for the simple and obvious reason they are the ones with fewer fans.
-
I noticed this division of this.
Hacchake-tai in back, Shang Shang-tai in front.
When they're 9, Sako and Anna variates in front-line of 4.
-
Today was Yukki's day !

Before that hiatus announcement, she reported on her blog (the one that was shut down) that she just undergone an operation and it went well. But a passenger I talked to is speculating that she hadn't fully recovered, thinking it might be a cancer or something...hence the hiatus because she cant be certain when or if she'd fully recover.. At this point, I find that hard to believe (or rather its highly unlikely in any case), but You can see the signs of fatigue in her and this is pretty much obvious, like in this video. (even the commenters of this video can tell she still is ill) :cry:
http://youtu.be/flBvPzsmxqQ
I finished watching Morishi's shoot...the thing that gets me everytime is her smile (so I can pretty much ignore her body in this sense)...and Aipon, she seemed to be rather reluctant in her own shoot, as if she's uncomfortable posing in such a state...a pity though cos she has the best bod among the entire crew...I can't deny this is a fact.
But wrapping it up, I think Annya surprised me with how beautiful and how much she had grown (especially in the chest area) :inlove:...this not being a perverted statement, rather an honest observation. :lol:
-

Just one of the reasons she's my favorite, I can't help smiling when I see her smiling :)

True. Even in Group Shots they have the same seating arrangement.
(http://i.imgur.com/frA2OiCm.jpg)
Totally agree with Morishi on the smiling topic. I enjoy talking with her even more than with Yukki :roll:
-
Absolutely no one can compete against them in the idol world :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vLKS8R570E
-
Because no one idol group can be (individually) better than Passpo.
Individually means: all 8 girls are different in so many aspects, one by one.
So... someone had the same idea of mine and this person is upload the entire DVD lol
-
Well :bleed eyes: . . .
(http://i.imgur.com/0VVmKpf.jpg?1)
-
I always considered Annya to have the best body (for my personal taste). But I now must realize that Morishi is surpassing her in that regard.
Nothing can beat the legs of Yukki though :P
-
What is Sako saying in this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTuj1hiowaY
---
And regarding the "nothing can beat PASSPO" I agree, but at this point I'm fairly obsessed so I'm probably biased.
-
Sako earned a massive load of points with me today, since I read her favorite idol songs and she included Upga's "Upper Rock" (which is exactly my fav song of them). :twothumbs
-
So, about Annya's body... (http://stat001.ameba.jp/user_images/20150524/23/xoxo131/39/b2/j/o0480064113317064312.jpg) (http://stat001.ameba.jp/user_images/20150524/23/xoxo131/7a/93/j/o0480064113317064235.jpg)
-
Yeah ?
Go on Will, tell us your thoughts. :p
Well, there won't be any Mako despite she appears in the videos.
I thought it could be a special bonus but no, she was surely there for support only.
-
Sako liking "Upper Rock" makes sense since PASSPO and Upga share the same choreographer, Takenaka Natsumi? And it's a great song too.
Just a few more days until the "big announcement" and Sako's "last flight for a while"!
Still trying to figure out how to DL the rest of those videos, particularly Morishi and Yukki's...
-
We were used to the Natchu's groping on Mako.
Well, here is some Sako's on Mio. :lol:

Saw that earlier, Sako is much gentler than Natchu it seems .)
-
Ok i think i know what Will meant earlier.
Check the last article from Anny'a blog.
-
Don't be mistaken guys. Sako was just showing some sisterly love to Miomio (it's not like she's a pervert or something) XD
But it still surprises me she would do something like that.
Thats what I like about this group. They are not afraid to "express themselves" in front of the camera. Other idol groups I've followed are way too "sterilized" or "proper" it's no longer fun anymore to follow them.
Speaking of which, has ANY of the members groped Aipon before? I mean..with Oppaipon's body, (for the PASSPO girls) it's hard NOT to even try right?
-
I have a friend that went to a show some time ago where Annya grabbed Oppaipon`s tits two times during a MC.
in the handshake after the show, he went to ask Annya how it felt and she replied "feels really good". he told that he was jealous and would like to try. she laughed and said she would be doing it more if possible.
yeah, Passpo has pervert fans like that. :smhid
-
I have a friend
Riiight.... it was you wasn't it?
-
Riiight.... it was you wasn't it?
now I feel offended. :cry:
-
Wow, tsutomo. You reached the level of inventing a friend for your actions?It is slowly going down with you XD
Nice perception, Immergeil! :lol:
-
I should have thrown the respect out of the window and said the friend was you from the start. I can prove you was there :P
less than a week now for Passpo to end, folks. have you already decided for which fanbase you'll be switching? :P
nah my bet is that since that silhouette had five girls and Crayon Pop is preparing a proper debut in Japan for the coming weeks, they'll be announcing a colab single with them. :twothumbs w00t that would be so sick...
-
I should have thrown the respect out of the window and said the friend was you from the start. I can prove you was there :P
You know respect? :lol: Anyway, I saw them groping each other so often during lives, it doesn't excite me anymore, so why should I make a fool out of myself and talk to Annya about it, the member with the most mischievious mind and good memory? :yawn:
less than a week now for Passpo to end, folks. have you already decided for which fanbase you'll be switching? :P
I believe they announce a World Tour, and maybe Budokan :lol:

The colab thing is a high possibility. Otherwise I can see no explanation of it. Or a tour as support for MomoClo ;)
-
Obviously the silhouette is the girls from Babyraids and they will announce that they are merging.
-
So... collab? Who has 5 members in an idol group with some relative fame in Japan?
Well, all this great fanfare to announce collab it will be the new fiasco
-
Obviously the silhouette is the girls from Babyraids and they will announce that they are merging.
Matsui Rena will never let it happen :lol:
-
Matsui Rena from SKE48? What does she have to do with Babyraids? Also what is a Babyraids? :?
-

Seriously man? :shocked
I don't know many people into J-Pop, so my access to info about idols is limited. Also none of the people I know that do listen to J-Pop have mentioned Babyraids.
-
you gotta forgive tsutomo, wattstax...maybe he has multiple personality disorder and that would explain the many "friends" he mentioned..when each friend is just a different personality manifesting itself. (in this case, the perverted one when Oppaipon is around) :lol:
And babyraids merging with them? I can only imagine how Rioton must be feeling if it were true... :?
-
Matsui Rena from SKE48? What does she have to do with Babyraids? Also what is a Babyraids? :?
Well they are kinda similar to Passpo yet different, their sound is more Japanese whereas Passpo has a very western style, they have their own thread here http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=36397.0
-
Although I'm still kind of surprised because Rena is my SKE48 oshimen . . . why have I never seen them mentioned before? Then again my friend's sister talks about Hello Project and Idolmaster a lot and I kind of don't care.

She could take over the "cute" segments with Miomio now that Makoto isn't around anymore, speaking of that who IS doing those now, I think Natchu would fit the best.
But no obviously they aren't merging considering they have different managements.

Their Budokan live DVD is awesome and I think it has pretty much all their songs on it, would be a good place to start.
-
Ok I just looked up Babyraids on Youtube and watched one video and it didn't click for me. :huhuh
Well if we're talking merging with others from the same agency that leaves Palet and Predia, and to some extent Band-Maid and Silent Siren (I think).
-
Who has 5 members in an idol group with some relative fame in Japan?
thanks God Nichohalo has four members nowadays, dodged that bullet by a small margin. :P
-
Well if we're talking merging with others from the same agency that leaves Palet and Predia, and to some extent Band-Maid and Silent Siren (I think).
I was just messing around, I think there is zero chance they will be merging with anyone, as wattstax said it's most likely a colab of some kind.
-
I'm putting my money on a collab as well.
The only idol-collab that would justify such a fuzz would be MomoClo but they got bigger fish to fry. :smhid
A K-pop collab? What a friggin' nightmare that would be! :panic:
My guess -
1. The silhouettes are obviously men.
2. Akutsu-san mentioned them as one of his favorite American rocks bands. The other bands mentioned (Guns, Ozzy, Aerosmith) are out of the question.
3. Passpo is his pet-project, he does whatever he likes, no matter if it makes any sense or not. I mean, who of you guys knew who Josh Freese is?
4. So it must be some 5-man rock band, most likely American 90's dudes once successful, trying to revive their popularity in Japan.
5. It's like following the latest idol x western (hard)rock band collab-trend. But as Passpo started this trend themselves, they got every right to jump that bandwagon.
-> it's Skid Row. :O
-
okay, I started to read the photobook and it's really very interesting. and I'm not talking about their photos. way better than seeing them taking their clothes off literally, is seeing them doing it during the interview, exposing every feeling and detail about the group's history.
I started being a fan of Passpo some time prior to the Tokyo Idol Festival 2012, so pretty much everything about the group's earlier days is new to me. reading this book I'm discovering a lot of things I had no idea about like the fact that "Hacchake Tai" is inspired in a sub-unit they already performed in the past (with Nachu, Naomin and Mushu, called "Hacchake Mizugi Tai") and that the 'theatrical play' they had in this recent tour is pretty much a re-edition of a play they made for some early 2011 shows where they had to occupy the time with something, since they had still only a bunch of songs and were performing in big stages (that they now admit were too big for them and that they didn't take good use of some opportunities at that time, specially on tv).
I particularly liked the fact that "Passpo" was a name created by the fans and they put a "kakkokari" after it, just like my favorite group. XD but soon they changed and put the star they still use, to cover it. rofl the stories about the group formation with Morishi almost leaving are interesting too.
-
1. The silhouettes are obviously men.
I went back and I'm just not seeing it. It could be a girl group. It's kinda hard to tell. BTW, I also think a collab is very likely and I think it would be a great idea. The Kiss MCZ thing was really well done. Plus, Passpo already has a rock/metal sound so it would be a perfect fit.
-> it's Skid Row. :O
:shocked

Lucky you! DHL called me this morning and my package should arrive during the day. I'll get it when I come back from work tonight.
It's too bad I'll only be able to read very little of it but I thought that the book sounded like it was really well made so I thought it was still worth getting.
-

Do they tell anything about the formation of Band Passpo? Like who initiated it, who was on board from the start and who needed to be convinced, what are their ambitions concerning the band? Things like that.
-

What's this story of collab / merging?
Where's the photos with shadow that make you think about girls or guys?
Following them on twitter and didn't saw anything like that.

Hey. I didn't posted since a while. So i'll give my thoughts on two things : the album and the incoming "thing".
First, Beef or Chicken. It's a typical PASSPO☆ music. The first time you hear it, you know that's them.
But I was quite surprised. With Honey Dish as MV, I was thinking that all they said about the album (talking about the american rock side) was shit. But I was wrong.
Except for the songs we already knew, it's indeed a lot more rock to me. I really like every songs and for the first time I think they have a super song for a never ending "encore" (Itazura Rock'n'Roll).
About the incoming event, I really don't know what to think. But we can't talk about a disband or even girls leaving the group (to have 5 girls left). It would be stupid to tease about saco's hiatus to finally have 3 girls leaving.
But to be honest I'm not very excited about this news (I'm not even sure this will be a very big thing).
- A collab? Why not. But they just released a new album. It's probably too quick. (And they never teased that hard for the previous collab, but that was with relatively unknown groups). However I don't know who's with Takenaka in the recent instagram videos. But she's working on choregraphie with her. Maybe we can find something from that.
- A merge (palet?) ? I don't think it's a good idea. The fans already said that they don't want new members (Musshu...). Plus, the sells of Beef or Chicken are really good. It's not a good idea to change a popular group that wasn't supposed to be modified like that (people don't want that each idoles/girls groups are just Momusu-like)
Oh and I saw a lot of you being afraid that Saco will never come back. I'm afraid of that too but we will see that quickly. Since she said she wants stay with the group for the non-flights events (GPP, showroom, logirl) if she stills in that show, there's no worry.
-
Do they tell anything about the formation of Band Passpo? Like who initiated it, who was on board from the start and who needed to be convinced, what are their ambitions concerning the band? Things like that.
I'm trying to read the book calmly to get all important info and meanwhile writing a post on my blog about it, so it's taking me some time to read everything. sorry
I just finished the second part and the interesting info (at least for me) that goes in the direction of your question is that Annya says it was "Candy Room" the song that started this desire in them to form an "american girl band". Yukky adds that some events soon after ("Je Je Jet!" festival with some rock groups and their contact with the Hawaiian6 guy that composed "Mousou no Hawaii" and "Mudai") made all the members start liking new music genres (which I presume she is referring to rock more specifically. I remember that Nachu for example used to only hear pop, the most "rockish" shit she would hear would be some Avril Lavigne).
-
I remember that Nachu for example used to only hear pop, the most "rockish" shit she would hear would be some Avril Lavigne).
Natchu listens Coldrain, which is a lil bit heavier than Avril Lavigne. :p
Two years ago she tweeted about this song for example :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_x4hnJonMw
-
I still find it hard to believe Mio is into Slipknot and that style of music considering how "kawaii" and "childish" her character is.
-
You should have seen her handbanging alone in her bedroom listening a Slipknot album during a chat live, it was hilarious. :D
And she sometimes tweets about rock / metal event she goes to on her free time.
-

that's nice, since it would prove the story being told by Yukky is real cuz, you know, two years ago is basically the timeframe I was referring to. Nachu started to hear Uverworld too, another similar (imo poor) act.
edit: finished it. they say the new "american girl band" path was something they came in agreement when discussing "what we should do now?" after Koyomi's graduation. interestingly exactly Sako was the one to make the remark it wasn't an unanimous decision though. the way they talk so convicted about the "new passpo", going through a "safer route"... now I can seriously say I'll be VERY disappointed if the surprise next sunday is something small/trivial.
-
This time now I see clearly the purpose of New Passpo: Be more marketable.
But how to do it?
- Add 5 new members? Yes please, but passengers "write" this fear in one question: How to find another idol in Japan with Passpo character? Anyone?
- Live in big places? Of course they should do.
- 3 graduations to turn in a full-band? Man... ok, Passpo band is a great idea, but lost members like Yukkii, Nachumi and Sako will be VERY painful.
- Collab? Maybe Babyraids. Or some Western band. But, again, it's about changes.
We're used to look to Passpo like our romantical "resistance", our "little soccer team with a lot of history". Even Platinum Passport think in the same way, but, like Takenaka-sensei and Makochan said: "Just love dosen't sell", and they're correct. It's ok to look at Passpo like this, because, they're alive even after the "explosion of idols" after 2012; they're the same (idols, chara, acts, everything) since 2009; and etc. But now it's time to fly more high.
This "new Passpo" idea can be: auditions to new whole crew; own theater; own cafe; new label; get this "cabin attendant" more serious; change this whole concept; back to past and do the french crew; bye bye to platinum and sign to new agency (pls no h!p or aks)
We have to be ready (and I'm not ready :cry:)
PS: Or this 5-people image is just a pun to make us think about everything hahahahaha
-
Just noticed that "platinum sonic" is a couple of days before my arrival, is it worth to reschedule to be able to see that?
-
Platinum Sonic? Let me answer it this way: I will be there😁
-
Platinum Sonic? Let me answer it this way: I will be there😁
My plan was to arrive in Japan on the 29'th and go home on the 4'th - I picked a hotel close to Hamarikyu Gardens probably not the cheapest but I wasn't sure what to pick, I should probably have asked you for some advice first - but it's not too late to re-book, do you have any good advice yo give?
Also what date do you arrive?
(sorry for the run-on sentences)
-
own theater; own cafe;
well, they already have the basement of the building where Platinum agency is located. a friend went there for a FYT event and told me it's not so bad.
they already have the Noodol Cafe in Akihabara too. they can make shifts with the Predia girls. :lol:
-
I'm trying to read the book calmly to get all important info
Thanks for your answers. Much appreciated.
...Mio is into Slipknot and that style of music...
Hm, metal girl Mio wrote the lyrics of the most poppy song of the album and Sako
who is into H!P/Taylor Swift etc. wrote the lyrics of the heaviest Passpo song. But looking at the actual lyrics it makes sense after all.
Be more marketable.
Well if anything is marketable it's Mio's Teletubbie/Slayer image. Just look at Babymetal. And she has the added bonus of being 20, able to play (some) bass and she doesn't fake her interest in heavy music.
-
You should have seen her handbanging alone in her bedroom listening a Slipknot album during a chat live, it was hilarious. :D

Wow... Mad respect to her.

Why does Yukki have to clean it then? :?
Regarding the lyrics: I find that funny too, but I think the girls had no direct influence on the music to their words. But I wouldn't call Mio Metal Girl. She likes a lot of poppy Rockmusic as well, like Avril.
Tsutomo, let us visit Chu-Z café in Harajuku instead. It seems more fun. ;)
And thanks for the info about the content of their new book :twothumbs
-
Why does Yukki have to clean it then?
I`d make a joke involving her past experiences with you but I guess it would sound too offensive. :P
Tsutomo, let us visit Chu-Z café in Harajuku instead. It seems more fun.
it`s up to you, my boy. when you arrive here again we can surely go check that place. dunno if we will meet some member there though. :(
and regarding idols that like heavy music... every person on this planet and even their dogs know that the coolest girl in this area is Nao Sakura. :twothumbs
-
^ thanks for your message
And I don't think Mio is a metal girl, it's not that uncommon for "rebellious" girls to like stuff like Slipknot but not actually being into metal :cow:

Why does Yukki have to clean it then?
I`d make a joke involving her past experiences with you but I guess it would sound too offensive. :P
I have no idea what you mean, Mr.-I-give -my-idol-underwear-as-a-present :P
Tsutomo, let us visit Chu-Z café in Harajuku instead. It seems more fun.
it`s up to you, my boy. when you arrive here again we can surely go check that place. dunno if we will meet some member there though. :(
Great. I remind you of it. ;) Let's hope for a Miku - Luna combi - like they had TODAY! And don't mind. I will just ask a Chu-pet friend about the schedule. He will know.

Rebel girls go into emo / rock / hard rock music, not into metal Slipknot. :D
There are many many proofs that Mio is a real metalhead.

Meh.. there are no real rules what they go into, but they tend to go with the image-heavy acts and Slipknot is such an act.
Ofc I don't know that for a fact but the few "rebellious" Japanese girls I come across on twitter have mentioned both Slipknot and stuff like Maximum the Hormone (they are actually pretty good).

I get what you mean and it's truth. these groups attract a lot of posers. now, MioMio though is not one of them, she really likes it more seriously it seems.
btw I just read that Oppaipon's home (her family's home, not her small apartment in Tokyo) is close to mine. w00t. I feel so lucky now to live close to arguably two of the most beautiful idols in this country (Oppaipon and Sumero). :twothumbs I think I can start planning her kidnapping and preparing a room to keep her as my sex slave. :D
-
Dude you need help :shocked
And regarding Mio I'm not saying she's a poser or not really into it I wouldn't know and I don't think any of us know for sure - and lets kill this subject it's kinda off-topic.
-
well, they already have the basement of the building where Platinum agency is located. a friend went there for a FYT event and told me it's not so bad.
they already have the Noodol Cafe in Akihabara too. they can make shifts with the Predia girls. :lol:
Yeah, but means nothing to Passpo since 2012 :P

In a way, I'm glad my oshimen is Sako. being the more understated member, it's least likely anyone (the likes of tsutomo) will want to do the nasty (sex slave thing) to her. And yes, I will kill anyone who even thinks about it..besides, its likely Annya will kick him in the nuts first before that can happen.
An yes, hanji...I am getting scared...probably more anxious than awaiting the outcome of Juventus vs Barcelona champion's league final
-
Bad fan behaviour is not limited to the popular idols. ;)
I am not scared as I don't expect anything negative. I am just not sure if the announcement of what ever it is will be worth the hype. Hopefully it won't become something that is contraproductive to PASSPO's current high.

First of all I'm not gay... but I don't really like idols for their sexual appeal, I have the gravure BlueRay and I tried to watch it the other day and honestly I felt uncomfortable for the 5 minutes I managed to watch of it!
Not that it's sexual or suggestive or anything, but it was too intimate for my liking, If it had been them running around doing stupid stuff in swimsuits I would have been ok with it.
I'm sure a few people here will shake their heads at this, LOL!
-
Don't worry. You are not alone. I never understood why people like those Gravure stuff or even the "innocent" bikini DVDs. I don't care for bikini shots (like the recently posted PASSPO videos here). A bikini live would be another matter though lol

So what's the ETA on the apocalypse?
Also after seeing them promote their current merch, part of me feels like I could design a better t-shirt if I wanted to put effort into it . . .

Laugh :lol: My thoughts exactly. PASSPO is the idol group with the worst merch design. :smhid

Most idol shirts I've seen are rather terrible, I don't get it since stuff in Japan is usually well thought out.

I like to disagree. I blog a lot about it, as I like idol goods and many groups have great designs. Now and then at least. But in terms of PASSPO the only good ones have been the New Years Flight shirt and the "KISS-reference" one so far. I can not understand, why PASSPO, as rock idols, often only have this comic design or lame boring designs.
-
I meant for the couple of groups I like they tend to be bad, I'm sure other groups have great ones ;)
Btw. I liked your blog update.
-
So after watching some of their recent twitter videos, I've noticed some things . . .
1. Mio tries to eat a t-shirt and grabs at two members boobs.
2. Ai is hopped up on sugar or something and is running around causing mischief and has the most ridiculous laugh I've heard in a while as she does this. Also apparently people still play pinball.

The KISS one is awesome! I just wish I had gotten a bigger size if I knew my "winter bulk" was gonna go as well as planned. As motivation, I bought a few other shirts in the same smaller size. Hopefully, I can wear them sometime this year.
Annoyed that I arrived too late to get the New Year's Day one but I got the mid-tour shark one drawn by Mio on a whim after seeing them at Yokohama.
Definite bummer when groups/soloists you like have terribly designed goods.
Guess I'll pass(po) on the shirt tomorrow?
-
to be fair, it`s not limited to Passpo but it seems to be a thing going with all the Platinum groups. Predia, 3min and FYT have terrible shirt designs too. the thing is so bad some 3min fans decided to make a shirt themselves and nowadays their fanbase is seen using primarily this shirt than the official one.
-
Saw that a fan made a shirt for Morishi's birthday that looked like an Asahi beer can! That was awesome!

That Kiss t-shirt is not cool or awesome, that's a copyright infringement. Anyone can rip off someone else's intellectual property in 10 minutes.
Just as the Passpo and The Ground Crew logo are blatant ripoffs and therefore unprofessional imo. That's something you would expect from a second rate coverband. Strange, dubious double standards considering the strict copyright laws of the Japanese music industry.
To end this rant on a positive note, the girls still look good in that new piece of crap they have to promote.

I can't really say this is something I would back as they're kind of too young for my preferences. Also is PASSPO☆ officially part of their name?
-
Yup, the group's name is ぷちぱすぽ☆ or Puchi PASSPO☆. Basically "mini PASSPO☆".
-
I thought Palet was mini PASSPO☆ . . .
-
Nah, palet are PASSPO☆'s little sister group (and predia is PASSPO☆'s big sister group).
I hope Puchi PASSPO☆ is well received by fans that are the concert, since it is their debut stage.
-
Wow. Totally didn't see this coming. I'm not sure I'm gonna be following this. The only reason for me to follow any Idol group is the music. I don't much care about everything else surrounding the group, like in this case the fact that it is partly produced by some Passpo members. Anyway, we'll see. Since the band has just been unveiled, they'll probably have a video coming out soon right?
Also, heard on another forum that one of the members is Yukki's sister. Besides the obvious same last name, can anyone confirm this?
-
All that teasing just for that \o/. As i thought, this isn't a really big announcement.
I'm not sue I'll be following this either.
Oh and yes, Riko is Yukimi's sister. I'm 99% sure of that.
The age + the first name + the fact that I know she was training a lot in dance since about 1 year. There's no doubt imo.
Edit: confirmed by Yukimi

Not what I was expecting at all, but if they are any good I will follow them, to me them being young makes no difference at all.
-
Wow, that revelation was unexpected and yes, quite a let down in regards that it isn't really about PASSPO. But the project seems interesting, as I am curious how the involvement of PASSPO members will happen. Totally agree with clem here: The music will be what counts, loli or not. Should be similar to PASSPO, right? But they honestly need to change costumes. If PASSPO can not do it, then please Puchi PASSPO!
The good thing for me: If Yukki happens to quit in the future I can just follow her sister. Stays in the family. :D Even the colour seems the same. But Yukki is far superior in looks. 8)
Isn't PASSPO the bigger sister group of Predia, as they were first?

If you want to take part in Olympia or such sports events you need a passport ;) I believe it is much better if we don't think too much about it. The name was possibly chosen to reuse an already known trademark.
A second thought: Doesn't Kikuchi Ami act like kind of the same to Babyraids, as now PASSPO members seem to involve themselves? This new group then acts as motivation for the girls to stay in the business, respectively learn new skills for future work in it, after the idol live.
-

You know, I have a theory about this and I'm not sure I like it. There are been lots of talks recently concerning Passpo's future, partly fueled by Sako's imminent hiatus. I have been thinking recently that, say if the group were to end in the next year or two, I would of course be sad not to hear about the girls on a regular basis, but also that what drew me to the band in the first place, the pop vocals + rock/heavy sound, might also not continue. I've only been following the Idol scene for a few months, since around September or so, but to my knowledge Passpo are the group that best represent this genre. I thought that, whatever happens to the group, that at least hopefully the songwriters would keep producing new material so that the concept behind the music would go on.
Could this be why they're keeping the Passpo name for this new group? Because management knows that the end is near and they want to keep the concept behind the music alive through a new group? I hope I'm wrong.
-
People have too many theories is what I think ;)
And no matter what Passpo have been around for longer than most idol groups so it's pretty likely they will not exist in a couple of years, as most idols they will continue their career as actresses/tv show hosts and whatnot or just move on with their lives, nothing lasts forever.
-
:shocked
what the hell just happened? I come back to civilization today only to read about some new group called Pucchi Passpo, Miomio being their costume designer, Annya assisting with their choreography, etc. With the Passpo members actively in this project, does this mean they have EFFECTIVELY disbanded?. :panic: I'm really lost here. Mio and Annya have a niche in this project, and possibly (I was hoping) Sako could return to write their songs and lyrics one day joining the other 2 BFFs of hers. Will we see them perform live again? I know there is always a chance somebody will quit and surely mean Pucchi Passpo is a successor group to assume Passpo's mantle in this genre. If anything, the involvement of the Passpo members in getting this new group flying will be their final lasting legacy as senpais...the old generation passing the baton to a new generation before retiring for good. at the same time, giving the original members a crack at a second career either in other entertainment/variety or behind the scenes.
I guess with all its said, in a few years time, we probably will see some backstage footage of chief dance instructor Annya yelling at some unfortunate Pucchi Passpo member, or Sako reporting the news from some distant land as an overseas correspondent. But for now, I still want to see them as a group, even though I know the end will come soon enough.
-

Calm down, this project means they have a project nothing else, they aren't disbanding.
-
All the WTF-reactions are more fun than the actual announcement.
People have too many theories is what I think ;)
I enjoyed it, all the wild speculations. And then in the end everybody is wrong.
Well at least they managed to surprise everyone, I have to give them credit for that.
-
They'll be at Platinum Sonic 2 at Ebisu Garden on July 25th with predia, palet, 3min. and FYT and a bunch of other live events with other groups, including Sapporo on June 6th so they're still going. Given how physical their performances are with remembering all the choreo and singing live and how often they perform, it's not that surprising that Sako had to take a rest from the stage. Why else is Morishi out there drinking from a 2-liter bottle of water on the stage during every flight?
If you have ever gone to see a less experienced group try to do a one-man, it's generally more noticeable that they don't yet have the same level of endurance. This usually involves long drawn out MCs or VTRs or even bringing other performers with them (like DIANNA☆SWEET did for some "one-man" lives) to give them time to rest.
-
only reason for me to not post a rant here is because I didn`t lose money with this prank "surprise".
thanks God I went to "live plus festival" today. 8)
on a side note, Platinum shall be making some big money nowadays becuz they are creating idol groups like what? a new group each every three months? till the end of this year Platinum will have more girls under contract than AKS. :P

Probably not.
Some people already thought about a relation like that. And it's not something very surprising imo.
But whatever, just leave them alone. They can do what they want.
-
Well I haven't been following them for very long and I wasn't aware this might be going on, hence the surprise. I never said they weren't allowed, or anything like that.
-
Maybe my previous message could seem a little bit aggressive. Sorry.
It's not against you but just a general leitmotiv.
I think idoles have too much pressure on them and each time you have this kind of photos, this is not good for them.
In fact I'm happy there's a doubt on what happened. So if there's something between them or not, they can just denied everything and live quietly.
-

It looks like the usual antics to me, there are a couple more pictures of the situation and it didn't seem like they were somehow "caught" but that it was something they did in public.
-
Yeah that's the point.
When they do it in public, they want to do it and they want to show it to people.
Same with the little instagram videos or vines.
This moment looks like a private one.

I'm actually amazed how some people are discussing it seriously.
like completely clueless of the fact this is a running gag being performed on stage by that duo for more than a year, when they decided to have more "freedom" on stage not following the choreography so strictly. I remember once Nachu even broke a panel in the background of a stage during these plays.

I like the one time I saw Anna climbing the scolding in the background of the set in a live performance video I saw. But yeah, I don't get why this is suddenly news to everyone.
Also here's an article about the new group and there are some videos in the article that have some small previews of their songs for anyone that's curious.

After reading this -> http://natalie.mu/music/news/149078 I'm even more sure that Sako will not return to Passpo in the future.

Not sure I should be happy about finding out about Buyee, there are so many temptations.

Hum, I'm a little more curious about Puchi Passpo than i was 2 days ago. I will probably follow them a little finally.
But I still think that there's some mistakes, especially about the name.
About Saco, yeah, seems that she has just graduated without calling that a real graduation (natalie.mu + tweets). It's sad. She does not deserve a real graduation flight. Thanks the staff.
Oh and without Saco, I'm not sure we'll have other flights with them playing instruments :(.
Oh and just about the (not) kiss photo, Annya and Nachu had to react and talked about "leaked" photos. Seems it wasn't supposed to be shown as i thought.
-
It's not only hard for me to accept this, but also seeing the normally-cheerful and happy-go-lucky Mio fighting off tears, Aipon crying is just too much for me. :cry: (never expected that from Captain..as I dun believe she is that close to Sako)
I guess Sako's physical condition is worsening and its not likely she'll be returning. But for her to think about quitting 2 years ago, and only fulfiling it NOW after consulting Makocchan when she was contemplating a graduation...surely she deserve a graduation flight for those years soldering on. It's just unthinkable not to at least grant that to your most hardworking and loyal member. As what Makocchan said to her during her graduation flight is testimony to Sako's emotional strength..."Sako-chan, you are a strong person". For someone of such strength to quit, juggling both aspects of her life surely must've taken its toll on her health.
Then again, after all its said than done, some time when she wants to return...would Passpo still be around? thats another question, right>?
As for whether we'll be able to see Band Passpo again, it is likely only if Naomi sticks around, and there is no split within the group (since Naomi is a Hacchake Tai). But I guess it will be a less frequent thing and reserved for special event/flights only.

Just curious. Those of you who have read the article, what about it makes you think Sako won't return?
Oh and without Saco, I'm not sure we'll have other flights with them playing instruments :(.
That would be really unfortunate if it ends up happening. I really like band Passpo. I don't know about all the recent ones but during the flight they had on January 1rst, Naomi was playing the guitar so maybe she could take over Sako's parts. Natsumi was also just playing tambourine, which can easily be dropped, and Morishi was just singing (most of the time). Maybe one of them could fill in for Sako? Unfortunately since that concert there is also Makoto to replace on keyboard. A reorganization is definitely in order if band Passpo is to survive.
Edit:
^^^^^^^^^^
LOL Annya at it again in that video.

After reading this -> http://natalie.mu/music/news/149078 I'm even more sure that Sako will not return to Passpo in the future.
Just curious. Those of you who have read the article, what about it makes you think Sako won't return?
To me it just reads that way (I'm using google translate though) nothing in her comments suggests that she will return.
That would be really unfortunate if it ends up happening. I really like band Passpo.

Makoto barely played anything so it shouldn't be hard for Nachu take her place, Yukki isn't doing much either so she is also a possibility, if Naomin is good enough I guess she can replace Sako and Morishi could play rhythm.

so it shouldn't be hard for Nachu take her place,

They are all talking about graduation. Not a simple hiatus. And they even deleted her from the website so fast. I really hope I am wrong but I'm afraid that she just graduated.
Also, I can't remember if they gave more information about the problem she has? Because "health problem" is often used to leave a group. Some people just can't understand why their favorites idoles are leaving so they just use that as a perfect pretext (but this can't be used if you want to stay in the business ofc ^^).
About Saco, we will know it pretty quickly. If we don't have news in the incoming weeks, it's over.
For the moment, the staff just posted a video and a link about an interview she did.
(Oh and talking about health problem, I'm pretty worried about Mio. On several photos, we can see her wearing strapping. I don't know if they are prevented one or because she really need it.)

I really like them as a band too.
I was talking to a friend recently saying how good they became. Starting from a funny band but without high dance or vocal skills to what we know now : very skilled singers and dancers + playing instruments + so f**king good flights. In less than 4 years. I do not know a group that improved that much.
But talking about taking Saco's part... Yeah Naomi seems not bad at all. Maybe she'll need to work harder but she can definitely do it. But the problem is to take Naomi's parts.
It's not that difficult to become lead guitarist when you already know how to play guitar (except about pressure you have on your shoulders). It's a little more complicated to learn guitar.
One of the other member can do it... maybe (Natchu is so clumsy, I doubt she can do it). But this will take time. Morishi already plays guitar, they can probably try with her. But maybe she's not playing that much because they wanted her to keep concentrate on singing only.
Oh and about Makoto's parts .... lol ^^. Yah she was doing nothing. They gave her a keyboard like they gave tambourine to Natchu ^^.

The green color is cursed in Passpo...

Come on guys. This is Idol business. Sako was now over 5 years an idol and made a calm decision what is currently best for her own after a long contemplation. Of course it is sad, but in this business you have to get used to it. Her decision is natural and logical. It appears to be no result out of a scandal or an internal struggle with other group members. PASSPO is still continuing. Let us cheer for Sako instead, whatever she will do in the future.
-
Well it's understandable that if Sako is your favorite you'd be upset over her quitting even if you know going to happen sooner or later.
It only shows that the whole idol-thing is working, people get emotionally involved because the idols "share" more than western artists.
The good thing is that I'm sure that it won't be the last we've seen of Sako, I'm sure she'll stay in the entertainment business.

Hey, we never said we were upset by Saco's choice. We're just worried about the fact that there's really high chances that she leaved without a true graduation flight. It's sad for her. Of course it's her choice to leave and I totally respect that. I've already said that they are all really courageous, just watch their calendar to see how many flight, how many show they've done, and think about all the training (dance, song, instruments)... It's really insane (Personally, I really think they are doing too much events).
The point is that they started teasing us a long time ago with the hiatus, telling she'll not quit, she'll be present for the events like LoGiRL, Showroom, GPP.... and step by step they are not talking about that anymore and as soon as she's on hiatus, they just deleted her profile from the website. So we're just curious about the real situation.
If she graduated (we'll quickly know), it's her choice and they should have give her an event she deserved.
Edit : My bad for the profile, but I thought they deleted it. So I made a mistake when I looked or they put it again. Don't know.
-
Actually while they did take her out of the main graphic on the website, her profile is still there . . .

I guess you guys are forgetting something: Passpo, in essence, is a group made by themselves.
If Sakotee don't want a graduation flight, they won't do. Sako is very demanding with herself. So, she won't be confortable to be rewarded
with a grad flight, like "i failed with do my best with plain". You know how it works.
Besides this, if Sako leaves Passpo, this group will lost their CEO.
This isn't a passionate POV, it's just like how Sakotee do.
PS: I respect who face it naturally, I don't want to fight with pax.
-
You're right about the point that Sako tends to be hard on herself...that's just who she is...always pushing herself so hard even when she knows she's not as popular as Aipon or Mio in the eyes of the fans. Still she puts in 110 percent no matter what. U saw her performance in the flights...u can see it from her. That is why I'm feeling really devastated right now. You may feel differently about her, but nobody could deny that she is one of the unsung bedrock of Passpo. Even in the last blog post, she has plans for her hiatus, one of which includes a goal to learn English so she could interact with international fans over the world. that is considering she's supposed to be on A BREAK.
From now on, afternoon tea for me will be a Saco's Tea Time moment..sipping green tea and munching on spicy snacks (since she loves spicy food) while trying to read her blogs. That's all I can do anyway :cry:

And once again, for those who missed it, Sakotee showing her "true colours" (with Yukki and Naomin, Shaku Uma TV ep 10)

I disagree with you.
This is just a business and they all have a contract they have to respect. It's not because they are saying "no I don't want to do it" that they will not do that.
So it's not their role to say if they want a graduation or not.
Graduation events are, in general, really worth for the business. So it's just because of a marketing plan or because of a problem with the person if they don't do it. That's all.
Oh and about your "Sako is very demanding with herself. So, she won't be confortable to be rewarded". It's quite stupid (no offense) to say it, since she knew that a special passenger mobilisation would happen whatever she wanted. And because you know that it's what happen when you're in idole industry.
However, it seems she said again during the flight that she'll continue to appear with PASSPO☆ outside of the flight. So now i'll just wait&see.
-
No prob Akokyuu, we're to talk about it. with all types of discussion.
I just prefer to face it with feeling, even Sako is really like this. But I understand your point, and in the end, it's just business.
-
Hey, we never said...
Are you everyone?
-
Hey, we never said...
Are you everyone?
Ofc I am....
No i just used we because I know how to read and nobody said he was upset about Saco's choice. That's all.
-
Sorry that I doubted Mio being really into metal... the last couple of days she's drawn Kerry King of Slayer and Lemmy from Motorhead, no one would draw though ugly fuckers unless they were into it ;)
-
Where did everyone go???
-
there is nothing to talk about right now ;)
Or do you care about giving a statement of Morishi's extension? :lol:
-
I do care about Morishi's extension!
It was shocking when she cut her hairs, but it was even more shocking with those extensions!
But what's more important, Sako is back on twitter and she has an instagram account.
And according to the recent videos, she seems to be fine, without any physical problem :doh:
-
You know at first I had forgotten how long it's been since PASSPO☆ has actually done anything of note, so I almost thought they must have been gone for a pretty long time if Morishi grew out her hair . . . but then I realized it's only been a couple weeks and time is just going really slow this month.
-
It's nice to see Morishi bucking the short cut trend by getting extensions - I don't tend to like it when idols cut their hair short :panic:
-
I thought the same at first: Morishi must have grown her hair since long time. But then I remembered, that they weren't anyway near that long weeks ago and that there are artificial options to avoid the waiting period :roll:
Regarding Sako: Whatever illment she has, it never seemed like she is out for long. Despite missing a few shows now and then, she hardly had long periods of absence. I therefore assume she has something that occurs every now and then. So assuming her official statement of her being just on hiatus is the truth, it really could be something that gets better by rest, mental and physical. It never appeared to me like she didn't enjoy her time as idol anymore, at least not in the obvious way Makochan appeared.
I would agree with you Jul in general, BUT the first thought I had when I saw older pictures of her with long hair, was 'well done with cutting it'. It really suits her more, especially personality wise.
What I dislike more in that aspect is when they change their bangs and such, like Naomi, who seems to like experimenting. Some girls just don't look good with any type of hair cut, especially a straight cut front, for example.
-
^ I got my ticket for Passpo today
Regarding the hairstyles, I think everyone looked their best in the Shojo Hikô video, especially Anna's hair looked amazing :)
-
I prefer short hair Morishi but my avatar is the proof she can rocks long hair too. :)
-
Naomi with bangs is even worse than Ume-chan (NMB48) with bangs since they had kind of resisted it for so long. Ume-chan still looks great though.
Morishi with dreadlocks or bantu knots would be awesome too.
-
So you now go for the Platinum Sonic and the PASSPO Flight as well? :thumbup
Back to the hair: Shoujo Hikou? I am not very fond of this song. I agree with Makochan here though, that it features on of their best uniforms. For Annya I adore her current hair style and colour. :inlove: Yukki of course I prefer with her longer hair. The rest didn't change that much. Oh, I forgot Mio. She should refrain from her half-part colouring... :smhid No idea about Naomi nback then, but as I said and So
I have never said, that Morishi looks bad now ;) But an absoulute NO to dreadlocks!! :thumbdown: Agree to 100% with Naomi, who should to avoid bangs.
Mio wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt in Muriyari #34? RESPECT!!! :twothumbs

But seriously, idol hairstyles are important :yep:

Ahah, nobody seems to like Naomin's bangs. So I'll say that I like it on my side \o/.
In fact don't really like bangs in general, but she's the kind of people that fits her so well (imo).
And even if I think Morishi looks cuter with short hair, she's even more cuter with attached long hairs \o/.
And the other are all fine too (except for Nachu who was a lot cuter before). Mio will slowly have a one hair color back. And Annya's color is quite surprising but fits her well (and even more when she's wearing a hat, her uniform etc!).
Oh and ofc idol hairstyles are important !

I hate to say it but at this point in my life it's pretty much a fact XD

It's funny because I rely mainly on this thread for all my Passpo news. I mean I can't read much Japanese so their official page and the twitter accounts aren't that useful to me unless they include pictures. So when there wasn't any activity here during most of June, I thought man there really must be nothing going on with the group.
^ I got my ticket for Passpo today
This piqued my curiosity. I can see on their website that they have a ワンマンライブ scheduled for sept 6th. Is that the one you guys are going to?
I also like Naomi's bangs. It looks good on her. As for Morishi, I feel that not many girls can look good with short hair but she's an exception. I kinda preferred it that way to be honest. I feel like every member should have its own thing that sets her apart and Morishi had this going for her. But whatever... She looks amazing whatever hairstyle she decides to wear.

No it's for the July the 25'th - we are actually seeing them twice that day, first at Platinum Sonic (a concert with many of the Platinum groups) then at a solo concert in the evening.
I agree that Morishi can pull off the short hair I still prefer her with long hair and she seems to be really happy about it as well.
-

The one on the 6th Septembre is the Hachake Tai One Man, their first. Would love seeing it, 3 of my fave members and special occassion.

I have something to say.
Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show @ USJ.
Beetlejuice.
AND PASSPO.
August 22nd.
yeah.
-
I would make a joke around some members of the group in a monsters themed show but I sense there would be butthurts here so I`ll keep to myself. :P
anyway, a serious question: will they make covers of "it`s raining men" and "I will survive"? that would be something... different. :roll:

Universal Monsters Live Rock and Roll Show @ USJ.
That show (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlejuice%27s_Rock_and_Roll_Graveyard_Revue#Version_2.0_.281995-1999_.28Hollywood.29.2C_2002-2006_.28Florida.29.2C_and_2001-Present_.28Japan.29.29) is targeted at a specific demographic segment (http://www.ew.com/article/2008/03/06/the-50-gayest-s) I'd say.

Dude, it's been a month. :) But I hear you... Every member was important to the lineup. Regardless of who my personal favorites are, I hate to see anyone go.
I just noticed that they removed her profile from the official website. At first the main page showed the new 7 member lineup but you could still find her in the profile section. No more I guess. I don't know if she's ever coming back but at this point it feels like she really left the group for good. :(
With 2 members having left in the last 6 months, I wonder if they'll ever bother making a new DVD. It just won't be the same dynamic on stage with such a huge chunk of the talent gone.
Oh, and:
https://twitter.com/sacomakita
-
Sacotee's Twitter is @sacomakita
But Clem, why you suddenly think of a new Dvd? Why your opinion of them losing their dynamic? It just changes. 7 members are still a lot.
Anyway, a Dvd is the least of my concerns now. Though I would appreciate it 8)
-
Sako was one of my favorites but I don't see the dynamic being disturbed much - some of the remaining member didn't have that many lines so I look forward to them singing more.
If any dynamic was disturbed it was when Maccochan left because her and Mio were the two little cute ones and had some songs together, that cannot be the same again.
-
I guess I have yet to see the 7 member lineup do a live show. Hopefully they can find a way to make it just as entertaining as they were before the 2 recent departures. Hey I'm probably worrying over nothing. :D
I'm actually really looking forward to the show on the 25th so that those of you attending can give us your impressions.
-
What are you guys sayin? of cos the dynamic will be disturbed. but we have to consider also the remaining girls have matured a lot recently...i noticed this...even Annya! I guess I can't expect the same kinda crazy interactions and crazy antics they have with each other when Makocchan and Sako were still active and they're pretty much still teenagers. For one, we've seen lesser and lesser instance of groping now that they are the expected to behave like senpais to pucchi passpo,
Still that does make me long for the crazy 9-nin Passpo with (Makocchan still in the group) which sadly I will never see again.

It's all in your head, the anna/nachu kissing incident that some people freaked over is not that long ago.
And NONE of them are teenagers anymore, all of them are at least 20 years old by now.
But I kinda really would like that they got a member similar to Makcchan, but I'm not sure who within the agency would be able to fit that role, small/pretty/dorky and aged 20+
-
On my side, even if I'm sad about the fact that Saco is probably not returning back, there's one thing that I can't understand.
Why did they gave several solo parts to Sako in the latest songs?
I mean, yeah you can't just ask them to sing all together everytime. And it's not what I want.
But since they knew about the situation since a while, they should gave her a less important role in the latest songs.
It's pretty stupid to give an important spot to a girl that will not be here on stage. Ofc she was here for the released of the album.
But until the next album, they'll have to defend all those song without her. It's not a good thing I think.
-
when an important girl is leaving an idol group, you don't piss her fans, you cash on them. see SKE48 and Rena right now, a nice didactic example.
on top of that, if you don't have girls capable of covering the hole in that moment, what can you do? you have to rely on the girl, even knowing it will be a temporary fix.

I think it was good they did that, if the last cd hadn't featured sako or makocchan with prominent appearances would have been bad, I think it was right of the management to use them.
I wouldn't worry about them filling in the lines at all, these girls are seasoned professionals it won't be hard at all.
-
To be honest, Mako's voice is pretty bad imo.
Sako is (was) indeed one of the best singer. But when you have to make like 100 scenes, defending your album, you have to be careful about who's gonna do it.
Ofc, the songs are great, and would not be as good as now without sako (but you can't say bad :o) but you also have think about the members that will stay.
If you want to thank a member before she leaves, make it with a great concert. Not giving her a good spot on an album she'll not sang a lot. It's stupid.
Ofc the other can fill the lines easily. They are great. When Annya is laughing too much to sing, Morishi is always helping her ^^.
But imo, they just should have gave them those line since the beginning.
-
Why did they gave several solo parts to Sako in the latest songs?
I just wonder to what extent the distribution of solo lines is a management decision or a producer's decision. I don't think their producer/main composer Akutsu would agree to these sort of conditions (like don't use Sako). It's obvious that the popular girls need solo lines but his first priority will be making the best possible record and if that means using Sako as long as she's still around he will do just that, right? Their discography is big enough to just skip all the Sako (and Mako)-heavy songs live.
The cynical approach would be: 'We need a Mio-song and an Aipon-song, and by the way, let's cash on Sako's departure; just give her that metal tune we wouldn't use otherwise, let her write some lyrics for it and do the choreography by herself so we don't have to spend a dime on that'.
But I can see plenty of examples in Passpo's discography were the music prevailed over making profit (hiring a string quartet, hiring high profile American musicians) so I can't look at it as a pure business decision.
-
They should give Sako's lines to Yukki just to make wattstax happy ;)
Seriously though, in the LoGiRL episode where they had their vocal coach there Yukki got the best critique of the girls present that day (Yukki, Miomio and Nachu) and I think she's the one with the least lines in the group.
-
Their discography is big enough to just skip all the Sako (and Mako)-heavy songs live.
Sorry but I disagree. They have a big enough discography yes, but in the coming months 90% of the song will be the latests song. Which is a normal thing.
The cynical approach would be: 'We need a Mio-song and an Aipon-song, and by the way, let's cash on Sako's departure; just give her that metal tune we wouldn't use otherwise, let her write some lyrics for it and do the choreography by herself so we don't have to spend a dime on that'.
I don't know why you're talking about that?
But, I don't have any problems about the fact she wrote a song (and even more). This is a good thing without a doubt.
But I can see plenty of examples in Passpo's discography were the music prevailed over making profit (hiring a string quartet, hiring high profile American musicians) so I can't look at it as a pure business decision.
Lol. It's just profit and nothing else. It's not because you spend money to do something that you're not doing it for profit. In fact you're doing in for that. Just because you're planning to do more profit thanks to that.
Seriously though, in the LoGiRL episode where they had their vocal coach there Yukki got the best critique of the girls present that day (Yukki, Miomio and Nachu) and I think she's the one with the least lines in the group.
Agreed! She's not used a lot. Unfortunately.
But even if I'm really fan of Yukki, she wasn't with the best singers of the group during LoGiRL.
However she step up a lot recently. And she deserves more lines.
-
Random thought: Yukkii and Riichan do a duet at some point in the future. Bonus if one of them or both of them start crying during the song. It wouldn't make sense to not take advantage of that. Watching Charpon and A-chan during the clip where Perfume and 9nine did a song together was great!
-
Hanji, I agree with your evaluation. Ever since the start of the Airline Trilogy, PASSPO took effort to do more songs that are not focussed on the idolish side. They also incorporated the Ground Crew in their concept on regular basis. The discography is wide ranged, so no problems there. But I see no problem in exchanging her vocal lines in the songs, like Nachu or Aipon did with Mako's. Songs like Perfect Sky or Himawari will just be sung by other members. We shouldn't make the mistake of overemphasising her singing skills. Still she was one of the better vocalist in the group and it would have been untypical for PASSPO's producer to put "profit" over quality by not using her. It is one of the reasons, Aipon and Morishi have the most (and vocally demanding) lines for being the most talented, similar concept to other quality-focussed Platinum groups, like Predia.
I am just not sure why you are of the opinion that Not in Theory wouldn't have been used otherwise? But true, it is unreasonable to assume the members only writing songs because management demands it.
(I think that profit is the wrong word. Of course they do it for the money. But they also want to be proud of their songs. The creative background are rock musicians (Ground Crew, Hawaiian6). Also the members in interviews often stated that fact.)
Regarding the voices. Aipon and Morishi have good voices, though nothing exceptional either. Nachu and Sako have comfortable voices but not a very wide range. Annya recently got many songs, but to be honest, these are not that demanding either. It is more like speaking then singing (sorry, don't know how I can describe it really), though it sounds good as no other member has that kind of voice. The rest of the bunch has no quality I can see yet, even Yukki. At best they fit the usual idol category. So I am content with the way it is. I rather enjoy a good song than hearing members struggling with their singing (Rioton anyone?)
-
I am just not sure why you are of the opinion that Not in Theory wouldn't have been used otherwise?
My bad. What I mean; because of her major role this song could be regarded as Sako's 'goodbye song'. Just like 'Tracks' it could be a song with a very short lifespan, just used for the occasion.
Regarding the voices.
Sako (emotion) and Mori (power) were imo quite complementary. I think it's a big loss.
And I like Naomi's singing voice. And the fact that she's the leader of Hacchake Tai. It's a pity 'High Tension Emotion' got released as a Passpo song instead of a HT single. I would love to hear an entire album full of thumping Jpop/industrial tracks like HTE. That song is so much fun!
-
I hope to hear Tracks and Not in theory again live, and often. But sure, it is highly unlikely. :(
I would love a Hachake Tai album, too. But it seems they won't be seperate from the main group. (seperate in the meaning of parallel, not in the sense of leaving PASSPO ;)
Maybe things will change after a successful Hachake Tai One Man.

Aipon should appear in the next Weekly Playboy.
That's always a good news. :p

I think you might be misunderstanding it, Weekly Playboy has nothing to do with the American Playboy magazine, it's one of the tamer gravure magazines, it's the same as the photobook stuff and such.
-
No I know exactly Weekly Playboy is . . .
-
I find Weekly Playboy A LOT more exciting than brazilian version of the magazine, despite not showing those parts. in Brazil, on recent years at least, they barely show the genitals eitherway and are always abusing photoshop usage while trying to give an "artistic" feeling to the photos, that simply sucks and don't favor the most important, the girl's body. from what I've seen, the american version is not so far from that too. :thumbdown:
oh yeah and Weekly Playboy do have some nude pics on the latter pages, but always using as models AV actresses and such. :)
one more thing: as far as I like Oppaipon's body, sorry, but I doubt her photo shooting will turn better than FYT's Areki recent one. it is simply mindblowing. :bow:
-
Once I like someone as a j-pop idol I don't feel like seeing them in swimsuits anymore, but that's probably just me.
Also I think I should probably make a thread about FYT.

Good God!!
Oppaipon certainly lives up to her nickname!
-
You could have posted a full photo é_è (where did you get it?)
To be honest, ofc she has a more generous breast than the others (not that hard ahah), but it's not that huge (when she's wearing their uniform or even regular clothes, you're not focused on this area you know).
They just know how to put a good spotlight on it for this kind of photos (here, they are using a little smaller bikini, it makes it look damn big, and even more with only that part on the photo xD)
She's just perfect on regular clothes.
-
It was something someone called Daipon (https://twitter.com/daipon_passpo) on twitter posted, I think he likes her a bit.

Oh ok, yeah, i know.

Only singing and something with Miomio!!!
-
This is what I can understand : she'll only sing tommorow. (She had back problem recently, so she'll not dance for the moment)
-
You feel a Sakoti lack ?

From what I understand some of the PASSPO girls were at the Silent Siren concert yesterday and I think there was some kind of dance-off or something, and the rumor is that there could be a PASSPO/Silent Siren colab at TIF!
-
^^
Me too...all I can do atm is just reading her makita journal.
http://www.ohtabooks.com/makita-j/
The latest interview with Passpo's sound producer had her playing the guitar...I think. if only i was there :(
-
Mio's back issues somehow magically disappeared, at Platinum Sonic she didn't dance a few hours later at the one man she did, I'm sure they explained but I don't understand Japanese.
If anyone was wondering it seems like Nachu got most of Sako's lines a few were given to Anja, I didn't really notice if Yuki got any - someone else might have paid more attention to her than me ;)
They obviously played most of the new songs, unfortunately also Fairy Tale, to me the performance didn't save it (some weak songs are saved by been good live).
(To clarify they didn't play Sako's song and they didn't play any of the previously released songs on the cd except for Himawari)
-

it doesn't just "magically disappeared". It's exactly the same on every sports, you're not giving everything you have as soon as you're coming back. You have to be careful. Or you'll just have a bigger problem then.
-
Good summary Rezar!
I didn't notice any new solo lines for Yukki, though I had the impression she was at least put as supporting voice on some verses more than before. But yea, mostly Annya got Sako's lines. The right choice. Her voice is good and she seems to have upgraded in popularity anlot. For the handshakes she finished last with MioMio :shocked (Nachu was the last one, but doesn't count, as it was her seitansai today).
They explained the back problems of Mio, but me too only understood, that she will only do the singing, without dancing, durch PlaSoni. I guess, she just shouldn't overdo it right away. Anyway, her just singing was alright to.
I love the new songs live by the way. It has been a great show.
-
Thanks for the write-up.
How big of a show was the oneman? Do you guys have any idea of how many people were there? Did they have a band playing with them for at least part of the show?
-
^ I tried to make a quick count and I would say 600-700 maybe 800 and no band.
And yes Puti Passpo(PP) played a couple of songs, and acted as little helpers through out the show - also Passpo played a PP song, I really like them kinds reminds me on the old non-rock Passpo stuff with added samples.
During Platinum sonic there was a shuffle (the groups sang each other songs) and PP did the best FYT song (which FYT didn't even play in their short set).
Overall everything was great but it's kinda exhausting, during Platinum Sonic there were no break between the groups and I didn't want to miss any of the groups but eventually my feet hurt so bad I that had to go outside for most of Palet and Predia - the main problem was that the previous night I attended another show and there I had been standing for 3-4 hours as well and my feet were already killing me. Basically Japan just doesn't do breaks and chairs ;)

Hehe... I said Nachu got the most lines not Annya! I noticed Nachu got the lines in Wing and Step and Go, Annya got both Sako and Makocchans lines Cosmic You though, but I guess it mostly depends on how many lines they already had for the particular song.

Sounds like you had a good time. Hey if Japan wasn't so far away and flying there wouldn't cost a fortune, I'd probably go there every weekend. I know what you mean about standing for long periods of time. I recently saw Babymetal and I got there pretty early in the morning to get a good spot so I ended up staying on my feet for almost 12 hours. But it was worth it. See what idols will make us do!? :lol:
-
^ I'm not sure what the issue with standing still is, I can walk 20 km's with no real issues but standing still really kills my feet, and just in a few hours I'm going to yet another show so more standing around (although it will probably be less than 2 hrs this time).
But yeah I could live here ;)
-
It doesn't help that everyplace has concrete floors which put a lot of pressure on your feet too.
No one mentioned the 7-member Hacchake-tai medley during the encore or Nachu's "birthday present" from Naomin yet?
-
The 7 member Shang Shang Tai was also very nice. The only surprise of the "present" was only it not being Nachu and Annya, lol. But it seems Naomin draw the shortest (or longest?) straw :D
Finally Hachake Tai has some better outfirts now, with the glitter and style.
But what do you think of the attendance? Neither PlaSoni nor Passpo were sold out. Both far from it.
-
The new Hacchake-tai outfits remind me a little of something UpUpGirls would wear. Instead of going to work out, Hachakke-tai goes drinking instead though. Annya did "kabe-don" Nachu on the ramp though. There was a lot of Yukkii butt patting going on too (and why not?). In comparison, Naomi's shorts are too baggy.
Attendance was pretty sad once you got inside and saw how much space there was but, the line to get in was pretty ridiculous. People were waiting for the evening show since right after PlaSoni let out and it was hot enough to want to punch someone in the face multiple times yesterday. Seems like security was stricter during PASSPO too. There was a lot of lifting going on during PlaSoni, including a guy in a Pikachu outfit during 3min. Management probably just overestimated how many people would show up despite there being a like a thousand other events going on that day. I think the first one was at O-East which is slightly smaller and it wasn't sold out either but it was on a Friday too.
-
lol about Naomin. Have the same opinion.
Annya got her share nonetheless. That is true.
During PlaSoni I only made out some small circles who did that running around thingy and small mosh pits. Saw no staff anywhere in the place though.
Overstimation for attendance could have been a reason. I too was surprised how many shows were announced for that day. But correction: Yesterday was Saturday, not Friday ;)
-
Btw. this guy https://twitter.com/tokenai_tunacan has a lot of great photos from last night.
-
I was out for a while and this topic turned in H!P-type forum with discussion about lines, skills, dance and sing abilities. Oh boy :smhid
It means they're really mature :P
Btw about Mio, excluding Aipon, Morishi and grad Makochan, all Passpo members had problems with their back. But thanks God it was nothing serious (We lost Musshu and Sako). Also, Miokun has some good physical resistance. :heart:
But... That Passpo from before is DEAD. :?
None of them is like before (and we know why is happen, because they're adults now and they want to be like this). BTW some of new interactions has born, like that Annya-Mio, Yukkii-Mio (I know, Yukimi likes Mio a lot, but hey, these girls didn't interact too much in past), Nachu-Annya, etc. New Passpo born in 2015, and new funny interactions, too, in their adult-pace. AND the Puchi Passpo is there to supply the majority wota necessity lolis. too.
Btw it's my opinion, not the real facts about them.
-
... and this topic turned in H!P-type forum ...
someone forgot the name of the forum :P
as an Up Up wota, I feel offended by the comparison with Hacchake Tai. those outfits are simply... poor. always have been.
and Nachu should fucking kiss Naomin's sister since once again she borrowed that cake outfit. (in case the story behind it is true of course)
I see Passpo announced a new tour. I may give it a shot in their tour final at Stellar Ball. will happen on my free day and on a venue I appreciate. of course, if Up Up or some K-pop groups schedule something on the same date... :roll:
-
There's a few seconds of their last concert in this one. I also like Morishi's shirt.

Did she actually perform with them? Would've loved to have seen that.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLXu56vUEAAvpTy.jpg)
-
Yes, she actually sang the main vocal, she's as good a singer as the average PASSPO girl - she's also shorter than I though only a bit taller than Miomio, she could be a Makocchan replacement! She also did some burikko thing not sure what that was about, in general there was a lot of talking after SaiSai's set
I had kinda hoped they would do a real colab but it was just one song after SaiSai were done. (to clarify the three other SaiSai girls left the stage)
Also Hinachu looks as amazing in real life as she does in the videos :wub:
-
in the first day of TIF I didn`t bother to watch Passpo, although I saw Yukky and Naomin during the colab stage. Konatsu and Ayano from Up Up were with them singing Himawari. :lol: but at the end of the day after the last Up Up show at My Navi, while I was walking in the pathway, could clearly hear Passpo performing at the Main Stage. it was fun that me and some few other krazy wotas started doing the calls and choreography there, hundreds of meters away from the stage. rofl could "watch" they performing Material Girl and Let It Go (two of my favorite) from the top of the bridge. so... unusual. :lol:
-
Somehow I still can't process this O___o . . .

Awww, the memories. Why am I stuck in fucking Germany again... :cry:
The Smile Garden performance really looked a bit tired, especially Aipon. Didn't felt it back than, probably as it was my last show and I was overexerting myself as well. I wasn't fond of the setlist here. Pretty Lie is one of my most inliked PASSPO songs.
Heat Garage was great though. Nothing can go wrong with Wanted! And I managed to be in 3rd row for it, soooo close...
Hachake Tai way my favourite performance though. I like their aliases here, especially Naomi excels in her character. And Morishi's hair - the bomb! :inlove: And I lol'ed back than when they shouted to the people leaving "Don't run. We are PASSPO." :lol:
Btw, although I was close to the stage during every performance, I successfully avoided to be in the picture. But I think, I could make out Rezar ;)
-
Pretty Lie is one of my most inliked PASSPO songs.
WTF :doh:
-
Pretty Lie is one of my most inliked PASSPO songs.
WTF :doh:
Exactly! I'm not sure who wrote that comment but I wonder if they have even seen PASSPO live in person before? The passengers go nuts with the call and response whenever "Pretty Lie" comes on. Unless they meant "in-liked" as in so liked that they are "in" liked", like how there was that line in Three Amigos where they thought "infamous" meant "so famous that they're 'in' famous". If you saw the movie, you'll probably get it. Anyway, it's still hot as hell in Tokyo but at least there was a nice strong breeze starting this evening.
Watching the PASSTREAM from earlier this week I think they talked about how this year was the most demanding of them since there was Hachakke-tai and PASSPO in addition to whatever collab stages and stuff. I wonder how much longer Mayuchi from 3min will be able to pull double duty with palet. She was mostly absent from the 3min stages at TIF.
-
I meant unlike as in "not liking". Just because I like the group doesn't necessarily mean I like everything they put out. That would just make me a fanatic.
No, I get it that Pretty Lie is a fan favourite, but not for me. I enjoy other songs by them much more.
-
Awww, the memories. Why am I stuck in fucking Germany again... :cry:
Same, I'm so fucking bored and I'm still sick.
Pretty Lie is one of my most inliked PASSPO songs.
First you say you like K-POP and now this.... who are you?
Granted the song itself is so so but it's one of the best live ones.
Btw, although I was close to the stage during every performance, I successfully avoided to be in the picture. But I think, I could make out Rezar ;)
I really tried to look for myself in some of these clips but so far I haven't been able to find me.
Watching the PASSTREAM from earlier this week I think they talked about how this year was the most demanding of them since there was Hachakke-tai and PASSPO in addition to whatever collab stages and stuff.
The Hachakke-tai girls really do a lot of work, I don't think western performers would put up with something like that but then again it's Japan, their work ethic is quite different and being an idol I guess is more of a job than being an artist, either way hats off to them for being able to deal with it.
-
I didn't notice the "my" in there (possibly due to mild heatstroke or slight hangover again) when I commented. :sweatdrop:
Yeah, it's a fan favorite but, I still haven't bothered learning whatever it is the fans sing back. I like too many different idols that just remembering their names and stuff to talk about at a handshake event is difficult.
Hacchake-tai go and clean up Shibuya in the morning like every week! Even if "normal" people don't realize it, idols work way harder than artists. Then again, "normal" people like boring things and are usually boring because they're too afraid of looking "weird".
Watching the Smile Garden footage, I'm reminded how Japanese cameramen/directors have no problem with blatantly zooming in on boobs or butts. Whoever was in charge seems to be really into Naomin. Anya knows better as evidenced by her "hunting" Yukki's butt towards the end of "Material Girl". Then again, flat butts need love too, right?
Whoever throws cyalumes should be found and have them thrown back at them point blank (or something).
"Wanted" is one of their best songs ever.

back to Pretty Lie topic, I wonder how is the call now that Sako is not there anymore. "aaaaaaa annya! (???) Yukky!" would be so sick if it was Nachu the chosen one...
Pretty Lie is so fucking good in every way possible that I dream about a day that Up Up will cover it so I can scream "aaaaaaa azunyan! Mana Miiko!" rofl maybe in their incoming two-man? :bow:
-

Why not watching the TIF Smile Garden performance? The shouts are very clear to hear there. (Annya! Mio - Yukki!) :roll:
Pretty Lie might be a good idol song, but I expect better from PASSPO ;)

I`d reply I didn`t see their performance at TIF and you know it but...
then I realized there are videos of their performances in the previous page. rofl
dunno what you expect from an idol group... other than a good idol song. ;)

Naomi posted something about Band Passpo performing at the Tour Final. She mentions Sako and her guitar, but I couldn't decipher what she meant: If Naomi trains to play Sako's parts, or if Sako will perform then. At least I am happy, the band format is still active!
-
I guess we'll get to know something around the 13'th of September with the new costumes reveal, I'll definitely fly out and see them if something interesting is announced.
-
<- yeah!
If Naomi trains to play Sako's parts
The 'attention point' YT clip makes clear we're not the only ones who don't know. Someone please inform Morishi. :panic:
Another possible option could be someone like Akutsu-san playing the parts of Sako. (And Yukimi on airguitar.)

Great news. :twothumbs This is the November 28 show correct? I was checking the website wondering how to purchase tickets when I saw 22/08. I guess I'll have to wait. Anyone know how much these tickets usually go for?
-

Honestly I wouldn't mind that at all, he's pretty much a part of the group as it is.

If band Passpo is really there, perhaps the backing band will also be. Yeah, I wouldn't mind if any one of them filled in for any missing instrument during band Passpo's segment.
-
I did mean him specifically since he's writing many of their songs anyway, I don't think they will be needing any other musicians to fill in since Makocchan didn't really do much on her keyboard anyway.
-

Right. It is for the Tour Final on 28.11. at Stellarball. And general sale starts on 22.08. I expect it to be more expensive than the usual show (3,500¥). I assume 4,000¥. The New Years show was 5,000¥, but it had a much bigger (expensive) venue. So yea...
Didn't hear anything about the Ground Crew participating yet. Should be a given though. But having a long set with Band Passpo, performing 10 or more songs, would be great as well.
I would love to attend, but I favour the Christmas/New Years time as with the holidays I could stay much longer in Japan. What to do? :?
Btw, I love the announcement video. Very funny with Annya and Nachu bumping heads. It is also great that they will perform most of their output during the tour.
-
Akutsu in a PASSPO outfit! Yay! j/k
-
I think Naomi will likely take on Sako's role as lead guitarist. Though I would certainly aint complaining if my beloved Sako returns to play for band Passpo (even if its for a while, I would be a happy man)
-
So PASSPO☆ and Up Up Girls on Sep. 13'th I guess tsutomo is finally gonna see PASSPO☆ again :lol:

The Two Man is on Sept. 11 ;)

you can bet your bollocks to a barndance that I`ll be there. I even got an off day at work just for it. :twothumbs
but don`t worry: I`ll be using an Up Up shirt and cap. ;) I`ll explode if they sing songs from each other. or together. I wanna see mai waifu showing her Rocknyan side. :wub:

How you dress is unimportant. Just you being to a live again is what counts :)
-
nah don`t give to it so much importance. what you guys should care about is to put your hands in the latest B.L.T. magazine. it has a photo shooting with Oppaipon that is just... insane. :jerk: in one of the photos she has the bikini stuck in her crack. really. :w00t:

Not interested in those. I want the music and talks. What do I care for photos? :roll:

What we can expect from the new tour:
① At the tour start on 09.13 there will be an important announcement
(Hopefully involving the return of Sako or a flight at the end of the year)
② reveal of new goods and costumes
(check for the latter)
③ several birthdays during the tour
(Shiori, Ai, Mio)
④ (almost) performing all their songs
(exceptions probably Tracks, Not in theory. Which else?)
⑤ Band PASSPO performing on 11.28
-
I want to know NOW... I want to go to Japan at the start of Oct. there are a few one-mans I would like to see.
-
That is fast. But don't get your hopes up. Idol shows and announcement are rarely done ahead of time. And yes, I hate it for my scheduling as well. :smhid

Yukki not :( I like the illusion on Morishi and Nachu. Naomi looks skeptical.
-
imo, i already heard all songs from Puchi PASSPO, Seishun Dreamer type music like song PASSPO, so most likely i like all song puchi passpo

I went ahead and got tickets for the Nov 28'th shows me being the glass is half empty kinda guy I think the announcement will be that Sako will rejoin or graduate or they will break up (but Hachaketai will continue).
Just one last thing... why is there 3 fucking months to I get to go :banghead:

Great to hear! Enjoy, and make a report here about the flight, especially its big announcement!
And maybe you can take comfort in the fact, that my next trip is even 3 weeks later. So the wait is longer than yours ;)
-
Great to hear! Enjoy, and make a report here about the flight, especially its big announcement!
The announcement is on the 13'th of this month not sure if there is a another announcement at my concert.
I meant to make a blog since I kinda promised some people to post some guides on Japan but I'm stuck at picking a theme at wordpress, LOL! And I kinda want to document my concerts mostly for my own sake.
-
As you attend the tour final, there certainly will be an announcement. Be it a new tour, new album/single, disbandment :panic: If not you still have to report on BAND PASSPO :bow:
My blog is basically for myself. If others want to read it, fine. If not, also fine. Agree about the layout though. Changed mine recently after I finally found the customization button :nervous
-
Actually now you mention album/single I think it's safe to say the announcement the 13'th will be a new single they haven't released one in a year! (maybe even a colab with Up Up Girls)
-
my incoming announcement bet: the girls from Hacchake will leave Passpo since the group will stop acting as a sub-unit and go independent. for their places, the lolis from Puchi Passpo will be "promoted" to main Passpo. :roll:

At first I thought this might be the B-side of Samurai girl but no, new song. Cool.
BTW, their first single seems to be out of stock on both Amazon.co.jp and CDJapan (you have to wait a few days for the thing to ship). It seems to be selling pretty good.
-
Nah it's one of the few songs songs they've had all along, they performed when I saw them - I think they only have like 3-4 songs still.
-
Their 1st one-man was a bunch of PASSPO covers thrown in as well but it was only about an hour anyway and "free" (only had to buy a drink to go in) a few hours before the Hachakke-tai 1st one-man. I'm a little annoyed that I didn't pick up the single but the line was pretty long and it was really humid. They did a new soccer-themed song titled "Yamato Nadeshiko" or something.
-
Oh you were there today, did you go to the Hachakke as well - from the tweets it looked like it was good fun.
-
Hachake Tai will continue to perform in 2016. Their 2nd One Man was already announced for March 19. :twothumbs
Official announcement: http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-12069947024.html (http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-12069947024.html)

Looks like tomorrow night is another Skype with a foreign fan for PASSPO. Last time it was some middle aged guy from Australia who went to TIF. Morishi, Anya, Aipon, and Naomin. Hope they talk about the Hachakke-tai live because it was pretty ridiculous.
-
Someone told me to sign up for that or something, but I didn't because I don't think I'll be presentable at 4:00AM in the morning :bleed eyes: . . .

I was looking at the latest staff entry...

☆ September 13 (Sun) TSUTAYA O-EAST
Flight time: 17:00 Doors open / 18:00 curtain
Goods sale time:
15:30 to 16:30 / curtain after - 20:20
Benefits Meeting time: at the end of a show after ~ 21
Benefits Description: Individual handshake meeting (one ticket benefits) · 2s photo session (three tickets benefits) - the entire photo session (three tickets benefits)
※ distribution upper limit of the Reward Certificate will be taken as eight.
※ use of Reward Certificate will be taken as long as the day.
I wonder how you can get a hold of these "tickets benefits" or "reward certificate". I'm thinking they're sold between 15h30 and 16h30 along with the rest of the goods? No mention of price either. A picture with the whole group would make an awesome souvenir.
-
My sisters will be there. I like it that they allow 8 tickets. Usually the limit is 5. Individual chekis are a great edition!
You get the event tickets automatically by buying merchandise. For 1,000 Yen you get one ticket. Usually only photosets provide tickets (1 costs 1,000 Yen). Other merchandise rarely leads to event tickets nowadays. Hachake Tai has it though.
-
Lots of small clips from today's show here https://twitter.com/723takenaka
-
an awesome show today, was a long time dream of mine to see these two groups doing a show together and I can`t really complain. yeah, some songs I like were missing but both setlists were solid and the colabs between them were very nice and surprising, like Nonsan and Moritii taking part of Hacchake Tai, Akari appearing on Morishi`s place during Himawari... they showed some nice chemistry there (like between my oshimens hugging each other), which I found kinda admirable since they`re from different agencies and with different styles and appeals.
gotta say that I was overjoyed to see Up Up defeating Passpo both in the strength challenge and in the number of fans in the audience. 8)2
-
Nachu wins MVP for most entertaining yet most creepy for that event with her stalking of Sekki.
Definitely hoping they do another one soon. Or maybe do a 3-man with Yumemiru Adolescence or Niji no Conquistador since Takenaka did most of their choreo too? It would have to start way earlier though so each group can do more songs/collabs.
-
Double-posting on account of the "big announcement". PASSPO is moving to a different label and will be releasing a new single February 2016.
As long as they don't go to Sony (because they are notorious for region blocking stuff), it should be a good thing. Yumemiru Adolescence thankfully have their own YouTube which is not blocked but, TPD, Nogizaka, etc. are pretty much all blocked outside of Japan, no?
Wonder if they'll be the first to take iDOL Street on their offer to have outside groups join?
Based on where the other Platinum groups are, Crown (predia), Columbia (palet), or Dream (Silent Siren) would not be bad choices.
6 years into their career I doubt they'd go back to indies but if they did, T-Palette would not be so bad. More possible collabs with Upga! Maybe even some with lyrical school or (gasp) POP?
-
That's the best news I've heard all year (Passpo news :D ). New single might mean a new album at some point. :twothumbs
-

Kinda strange that they didn't announce the label as well (probably unrelated but Sakura Gakuin seems to have left Universal as well)
But overall I doubt this will mean anything for us.
-
is it possible to be a same label with putipasspo?
PCI MUSIC(http://www.pcimusic.jp/) is putipaspo label now, I hope that they will enter into an international label.
although it seems not possible..
-
Hello. I'm new here, and I found this group about a few days ago. Their music is good. I looked at their CD's and i wonder what means " Vanilla'' or "Peach'' audio program(Beef or chicken)
-

Those tracks are included in the low class carrier versions of their latest album. These versions consist basically of the new songs only, not any of the previously released material.
As far as the Vanilla/Peach audio programs are concerned, they're not actual songs. I haven't heard them but from what I've read they're basically "talk shows" with the group members.
If you have in mind getting the album and you're not too familiar with what the group has released so far, I'd recommend the first class edition. It has all the new songs along with the singles released in the previous year and a bonus track from the sub unit hachaketai. You can't go wrong. :)
-
PCI is Pony Canyon which is decent although they've been cheaping out on Babyraids' recent videos (even by their standards). At least, Pony Canyon isn't shy about pressing Blu-rays since they do a lot of anime stuff also. If this move means that somehow PASSPO will start releasing Blu-rays of their lives, that would be even better. There's no way that Makocchan's grad concert is rereleased on Blu-ray with all 6 and a half hours on it though.
First Class is the way to go. Comes with a DVD with solo bits from Honey Dish too.
Peach and Vanilla exist so passengers can buy multiple copies for handshakes and stuff without going completely broke at release events.
-
Always go first class . . . that would be my recommendation.
Although wait, so if they're not on Universal anymore does that mean the DVD's won't be all region anymore? But then again the possibilities of blu-rays is a welcome trade off . . .
-
^ I wouldn't worry too much about the region thing, we've discussed it before but I find that hardly anything is restricted by region.
-
^ I wouldn't worry too much about the region thing, we've discussed it before but I find that hardly anything is restricted by region.
I don't know all the other Japanese releases I own not from PASSPO are all region locked. So part of me thinks it might be only Universal that's not region locking. I mean even Sony Music Japan region locked it's Youtube channel for the sake of comparison.
-
I am not interested in short-lived one-time colabs on stage, so I spare you my commentary. For lives consisting of several groups (Two Man, Three Man) I would prefer more priority on groups with similar style. So Passpo / Silent Siren, Babyraids and the like. It still feels stange to go for a Three Man like the one with Bellring Girls Heart - Moso Calibration - Rhymeberry (+OA Maison Book Girl) in it's line-up, all of them completely different. There are already enough festivals that present a wide range of diversity.
The region-coding on Youtube isn't that much of a problem now, as there are Add-Ins to bypass them easily - not on mobile though, I give you that. But in comparison posting a comment on LINEblog via VPN is much more difficult. DVD are no problem for me as Europe and Japan share the region code, but I agree that this shouldn't be the case. Region coding was invented for the reason to prevent sales of oversea editions. Obviously neglectable in the case of Japanese Idols, that have no market / production outside Japan borders. Despite that I also fear Blu-Rays would be released with Region Code.
Anyway, I have no specific knowledge on Japanese record companies. I just hope it will be one that handles Idols better, like marketing, Music Videos, more high quality. Without disregarding the fan interaction, like PCI or H!P *grumble*

Yeah we already discussed this before, of all the stuff I have only 2-3 that are region locked so my experience is different from yours.

Ehhh.. the first show we went to in the end of July was even more all over the place, gay idols, mexican acoustic inspired dude, distortion punk (Guitar Wolf) among others.
-
I know (and love) the huge diversity in genre at idol lives. My comment was more to point out the extent of it ;) I see a much greater gap between Dark Metal whatever and HipHop, so it made a much better example. The differences at the live you mentioned felt natural in comparison (my opinion). But otherwise you are right ;)

Anyways the label change is a good thing I guess since that means they aren't going to break up anytime soon. I read an article a while ago that said concept of J-POP idols is changing and idols stay longer in the business, so maybe they'll go on for many years :) (I saw that one of the girls from Yururirapo turned 27 the other day)
Are they gonna switch costumes this time too? Not sure I want to see Morishi dressed like a bum. :smhid
Probably not since those are the new costumes they will probably use them until the start promoting their single in the new year.
(Doh misunderstood that)

I doubt that they will do the same with BiSH. But on the other hand: It is soon Halloween, lol

Apparently the Hacchaketai x BiSH thing is the 3rd in a series of "2-man" lives. The previous one was BiSH x Yurumerumo. No idea who the first one was.

Don't worry. There was no changing costumes. It seems though that fans of BiSH were in much bigger numbers. As expected.

Yeah I think it was just a "regular" two-man with both groups just doing their thing.

So I noticed in my inbox a e-mail from HMV about a new PASSPO release . . .
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? :shocked
I'm shocked and excited because a BLU-RAY FINALLY . . . but why another best of album? Tracks is already a best of album and there were 2 Best of albums before that . . .

Apparently a decision by Universal alone, as Passpo will change record label. They want to make money of them as long one last time. Figures that NOW they have the money for Blu-Rays. :smhid
-

This probably explains why couldn't find any mention of this on any of the PASSPO twitters, but yeah . . . they only now have the budget to release a blu-ray when PASSPO is leaving their label. :smhid
Although I wonder what will actually end up on said blu-ray . . .
-
Apparently a decision by Universal alone, as Passpo will change record label.
At least we know the breakup wasn't by mutual agreement as they had a deal for 2 more albums.
The Blu-Ray disc is probably the only way Universal could come up with to give these redundant releases some added value.
Although I wonder what will actually end up on said blu-ray . . .
There's a pop and a power version. The 'Power'-version must be the part with The Ground Crew (@City Hall).
Maybe this clear rock vs pop distinction is the reason for the breakup? Could it be Universal wanted to steer them in a poppier direction?
Anyway by the sales numbers of these albums they get an indication which direction is more viable from a commercial perspective.
-
There's a pop and a power version. The 'Power'-version must be the part with The Ground Crew (@City Hall).
Ugh, I didn't even notice that the first time I looked at it. So this is one of those you have to get both versions to truly get the "complete" version of this release. I find that annoying considering the title for this release is "Complete Best Album" because one version isn't actually complete without the other. :doh:
-
So the live stuff is from the same show as the last live DVD so maybe it's the missing tracks, some band-PASSPO songs and other stuff, I'm a sucker so I'll probably gt it.
-
There's a pop and a power version. The 'Power'-version must be the part with The Ground Crew (@City Hall).
Yeah that would make sense. Apparently both the pop and power versions also include the music videos from the songs taken from the new year's day concert. So yeah, if you want everything you'll have to get both versions. :angry: Who am I kidding, I'm getting this.
Maybe this clear rock vs pop distinction is the reason for the breakup? Could it be Universal wanted to steer them in a poppier direction?

If this is indeed what happened, then I commend Passpo's management for sticking to their guns and continuing to create the music they want to create. I think the world of this band and I'm amazed every day that they're not more popular. If they ever decided to go a little more pop, I'd be a little disappointed but I'd understand. This is business after all. In the mean time we get the pop/heavy music we all love. 8)
So the live stuff is from the same show as the last live DVD so maybe it's the missing tracks, some band-PASSPO songs and other stuff, I'm a sucker so I'll probably get it.
If Universal is the least bit considerate they're gonna give us the stuff we didn't get the last time. I don't know how realistic that is but yeah, it would be pretty cool.

Hachake Tai doing their onsen tour soon and at the end of the year a bounenkai. Drinking in company of Yukki and Morishi :w00t:
If I weren't a foreigner with no Japanese skills I would take part, absolutely.
-
Why not? I think you could get by with "nama biiru kudasai", "arigatou", and "kanpai" if you're drinking with the Hacchake-tai.
-
Right. My problem is more the social aspect. My assumption of such event is that of a happy gathering, where people are eating/drinking together and enjoy talking to each other, amongst other things. I fear of killing the mood for the Japanese around.
-
I think it will be fine, and an opportunity not to be missed...
As I said earlier, I think it's worth finding out how many fans there are there etc.
Probably might be more awkward for you than them, if you don't understand what's going on/able to join in so much...
-
Apparently both the pop and power versions also include the music videos from the songs taken from the new year's day concert. So yeah, if you want everything you'll have to get both versions. :angry: Who am I kidding, I'm getting this.

So which MV's are on the discs isn't specified yet; Pop could be 10 and Power could be 6 if I'm correct.
If the entire Ground Crew set of 21 songs is on it that would be nice. But as it is an edit maybe not.

^ didn't it say it would be the live versions of the tracks on the CD in an earlier announcement?
@wattstax - I would go, but I turn into the drunken embarrassing uncle that no one likes when I get too drunk.

The selection of non single tracks on these seem a bit lackluster to me. :(
I count around 12 songs per version, which makes it 24 total. If memory serves me right Tracks by itself had 20 songs. So I guess the only real benefit for these might be the HD content on the blu-rays, granted what actual content makes it to the blu-rays still remains to be seen since some of the stuff is listed as "edits" . . .

So they sell things like this only at events? So if I wanted them, I would have to find someone in Japan to buy it and mail it to me?
https://twitter.com/passpo_staff/status/657482072328507392
-
Yep, that is how it usually works with special idol merchandise. First at the event or for the fan club. If something is left over, they sell it later for everyone.
-
I'm practically a huge Marvel Fanboy, that I freaked the hell out the minute I saw this :panic:. So this kinda seems like something interesting to add to my collection.
Although on a side note, who the hell is Morishi supposed to be? As far as I know there's no Marvel character or Avenger that looks like that :? . . .
-
As she is a big fan of action movies I assume something like a Bruce Willis character of some kind. Don't know that genre too much. But she reminds me of some action hero there.
-
Based on their dance teacher's tweet and the Twitter translation of it, Morishi is Bruce Willis from Die Hard (best Christmas movie ever). Granted John Mcclane didn't have hair like that, but whatever . . .
https://twitter.com/723takenaka/status/657539567193460736
-
Hence the lyrics: "katomase Morishi. favourito eiga 'Die Hard'. :otomerika:
-
So Morishi totally ignored the concept and just decided to be McClaine? It's hilarious even if it doesn't go with everyone else's costumes. Hopefully, they perform like that at Akasaka Halloween.
-
Wow, now there are even articles about this now . . .
http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/passpo-pavengers-20151063385.html
I still kind of want to own a set, but I have no idea how I would obtain one since I don't know anyone in Japan that would be willing to get one for me :doh: . . .
-
Even if I were in Japan for their December 8 Halloween fan club event, I'd just stand in front of them and go "Passpo ga daisuki des!!!" and look like a complete moron. So, it's better this way. XD
-
Ah, don't worry. The good things about idols, they are no superstars and behave like normal girls off stage again. You will lose all your tensions then. Try it out ;)

The comic book nerd in can't help but point out that Wonder Woman is a DC character and part of the Justice League and would be out of place just as much as Morishi Mcclane. :smhid
Although it's funny to me that Aipon would end up being Captain America considering my weird ability in choosing oishi's that end up matching my own interests in some way (I have no idea how I"m able to do it). While I do like Spider-Man the most out of all the Marvel Superheroes, I do have a Captain America Pop! figure sitting in front of the TV that's next to me right now and I have some pages from a Captain America comic on the wall in this room. Also I kind of want to have a Captain America shield to display or use as a prop :nervous.
Oh and about Mio, I like how she went as far as drawing Tony Stark's goatee on her face, despite no one being able to see her face due to it being covered by the Iron Man suit. :thumbsup

Regarding the two new releases of the supposedly "best-of" albums: They really release the Bluray version of the New Years live, exactly with the same track order than the Dvd. Great deal Universal, for fucking us over like that. Why not the Bluray release initially from begin with?
Look up the details in the PASSPO staff ameblo on the release.

Look up the details in the PASSPO staff ameblo on the release.
So Basically this is Tracks + New Years Flight DVD + a few more songs that didn't make the cut for tracks. I'm ok with the track listings for the CD side as it fills in some gaps in my collection as I never bought of the albums released before Tracks (became a fan too late in the game). However, this would make the New Year's Flight DVD pointless to me now. Also I'm kind of disappointed they didn't attempt to reinsert any of the cut out material from the Flight. Oh and for the music video side of things, is there a reason why the music videos for Love Diary and to a lesser extent the one for Bathtub never makes the cut for these things? However I probably will still buy both Power and Pop because I'm stupid and "Avengers!".
Oh and here's a link to the Ameblo post for those that want to look at the track listings themselves . . .
http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-12092134956.html
-
Thanks for adding the link. Too lazy for it, lol
I will buy it to for the higher quality flight video. But honestly, why not release the full show?
-
Yeah getting it as well, I bought pretty much everything else they did aside from the other two best of albums that contains nothing new - but screw Universal seems like they are a pretty shitty label.
-
I'm happy we're getting so much of the city hall Flight in glorious HD but yeah, this seems like a missed opportunity.

Merch is gonna be on sale at 10h00am on the 28th. Benefits at 17h00 if I'm reading this (http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-12092498710.html (http://ameblo.jp/passpo-staff/entry-12092498710.html)) correctly. :cow:
-
Close to it: Merchandise sale is from 10 to 11.30. Then also after the first Flight until around 16. The benefits meeting will END at 17, as the second Flight will start soon afterwards (17.30).
The higher ticket limit with 6 is very nice.

Seems to be a good movie (:D).

So a guy I know on Twitter who only knows about PASSPO because I talk about them so much got a Tweet reply from Mio a short while ago. :shocked
I'm kind of mad at life right now :banghead: . . .
-
Them replying is rare. See it only surrounding events. Them following you is much more probable, though in most cases you have to reply to a Tweet of them.
See the bright side: Mio doesn't know your friend, and he doesn't care for Mio, or Passpo in general. So nothing gained.
-
Mio doesn't know your friend, and he doesn't care for Mio, or Passpo in general. So nothing gained.
Actually Mio is his oshimen in the group :bleed eyes: . . . he has some interest in PASSPO, but he only knows about them in the first place through me.

From LoGiRL today
https://twitter.com/fusaji_low/status/664080988729774080
Apparently it was the last time they did that show, not sure why :(
-
I wonder how close the LoGirl offices are from 2.5D since Aipon, Morishi, Anya, and Nachu were doing a show until around 9:30ish. I know that Showroom is also in Shibuya so it's pretty close.
Today is Sakotii's birthday! I know she's pretty active with helping 3min but, I wonder if she'll ever return to PASSPO...
Then again, this year has ben full of hiatuses. Berryz Kobo, Kamiya Saki (POP), Konishi Ayano (TGS), Ito Chisami (GEM)...

oh Showroom is in Shibuya? do u know the place more precisely? I always guessed it was in Akihabara because of the big Showroom banner there rofl
off topic- taken from Passpo wikipedia entry:
Trivia:
→ Passpo 5th Year National Tour passed through more cities than any Japanese group/artist at 2014.
→ For the second year (like 2012), they will break the record of shows in Japan again (over 100).
:lol: I'd like to know who is the moron that wrote this there. source for this is his own ***, probably. don't even need to go too far to know this is false: Shibuya Dominion reached recently the 1000th live performance mark. since the group started in 2012, you can do the math and see how many lives they roughly do in a year. most of the obscure groups like them are very active. waaaaaaay more active than Passpo. :lol:
-
I think Showroom is in that new building in Shibuya, Hikarie, at least, the room with the brick wall is. A lot of people just broadcast from wherever with mixed results as well. Hiiragi Rio does her show from wherever she is since she made it a point to do them for over 1,000 days in a row.

https://p-pp.stores.jp/
Use googletranslate and be patient. :) It's bad but it will give you a good idea of what's on the page.
I've never used this website but, do they ship to the US? If they don't, you can always use an intermediary like Tenso.com. The website will ship to Tenso and Tenso will ship to you. There is a fee of course.
-
I just realized the Platinum Passport shop only accepts Japanese credit cards since the customer information section only allows for Japanese addresses and I can't find anywhere to enter in a billing address. So I guess it just assumes the address entered is for both shipping and billing. So even with Tenso this doesn't seem like it's going to work. :banghead:
-
Isn't it tenso who does the ordering for you and that you pay them instead of Platinum? At least with fdjp.com it works that way. So no need for japanese credit card or address.
-
From what I gathered on the Tenso site, you sign up for an account and they give you an address and then you go and buy the item you want and have it shipped to that address. Then when Tenso gets it you select how you want them to ship it you and pay Tenso for shipping and they'll send it out. So basically it seems like they only handle the shipping it to you side of things.
-
Oh man that sucks. I was certain Tenso was all you needed for pretty much any Japanese online store. I've used it a few times without any problems, but only to buy from Asmart. Anyway, I googled a little bit and found this.
Personal Shopper Japan (http://personalshopperj.com/).
Webuy (http://www.webuyjapan.com/).
With Tenso, you had to buy the merchandise and send it to Tenso. With these services apparently, they buy the stuff for you and then send it to you. Research them a bit to make sure they're reliable. I've never used them personally. I hope this helps.
edit: It seems http://fdjp.com/ is another. Have you used it wattstax?
-
Used fdjp a lot for purchase of important concert tickets. Went well everytime. Never tried out the shopping option, but it will be handled by the same guy, so I have no doubts it working either.
But make a reliable and detailed inquiry. He can be a bit cranky when he has to ask for further information.
(for concert tickets I now use a different site)

Anyone able to translate this tweet? I tried using several online translators, but the translations are somewhat confusing.
https://twitter.com/passpo_staff/status/666213678023225344
-
I don't understand Japanese but I think it says.
There are only a few of the Halloween photo-sets left and then a reminder to go see them on the 28'th.
So I guess they won't be selling them at the concert, if they do I will pick one up for you though unless you tell me not to.
-
they plan to sell the photos at the 28th Flight as well (if not sold out).
-
Yeah the translations I was getting made it sound like a few were left and only available at the online store. If that was case then I would have to think of a plan B to Rezar's plan A. So I guess I just have to hope they don't sell out in 11 days or I guess oh well . . .
-
they plan to sell the photos at the 28th Flight as well (if not sold out).
The tweet doesn't say that though.
-
Hm, but what would they schedule then, if not the photos?
General sale for the flight has started long ago.
Well, whatever. You will see first hand. ;)
-

I'm not saying they won't sell them there just that the tweet doesn't say it.
From what I can tell from the tweet it's two separate sentences, the concert is only mentioned as a reminder.

I asked around and this is the translation I got.
Only a few copies of Halloween pictures remain!!

#The Avengers in the idol world
-
^ yes, I think I was mistaken :oops:
Btw. clem when are you leaving?
-
Saturday morning. :D
First time in Japan! My week is packed full of activities. I just hope the time difference won't hit me too hard.
-
I might do "activities" but I'll probably just end up at idol shows all the time instead ;)
-
I checked Tokyogirl scheduler and unfortunately most of the idols groups I'm interested in don't do any shows in Tokyo during that week. The non-idol bands I follow don't either. :(
The only one I'm a little interested in is Palet. They're doing a show on Friday the 27th in Akihabara (culture theater something??). I might go to that one. I really would have liked to have seen Bish or Passcode or Himekyun.
There's also the metal band Galneryus, that I absolutely love, and they do a show the week before (this week). :banghead: :angry:
Oh well... Maybe next time.
-
Don't just rely on idolscheduler (it is the name now). Check Twitter and official websites/blogs. Many shows are announced just hours before.
I assume you mean AKIBA Cultures Theater ;)
-
clem, you really should go to some concert other than PASSPO just for the experience, it might just be me but I can enjoy most idol groups live performances even if I don't really care for the music, the audience and energy the idols bring is just great.
Actually I think I will go to this event http://idolscheduler.jp/schedule/detail/?e_id=54386
-

You weren't kidding. Party Rockets and Passcode are doing a show in Shibuya next Monday (oddly in the morning). This was NOT there last week. I was already planning on spending a day in Shibuya so I'll probably do that Monday.

Will do. :) Like I said my 5 days are already packed but I'll probably alter my schedule as I go along. I'll check idolscheduler pretty regularly. The main draw of Japanese culture for me is the music so I can't really pass up the opportunity to see so many live shows.
-
Also check out some release events at a Tower Records or Ikebukuro Sunshine City since those are generally free just to watch.
http://tower.jp/store/event/ (http://tower.jp/store/event/)
Puchi PASSPO has one on the 29th at Shinjuku. If you're tall enough, you can just stand behind the racks that they rearrange to make the area for people to watch. No point in reserving a copy of the single unless you plan to be back when it's released in January, which is unfortunate since that means no handshakes or 2-shots.
There are definitely a lot of events but, walking past a record shop and seeing/hearing an idol group performing is part of why Tokyo's great! It's like you can't escape them!
-
Should I even bother asking why pictures of Macocchan and a camel are filling my twitter feed?
Edit: Ok I found out it's her birthday, but that's such a weird photo to use for that :lol: . . .

Party Rockets and Passcode are doing a show in Shibuya next Monday (oddly in the morning).
next monday is a national holiday in Japan (labor thanksgiving day) so there will be plenty of shows everywhere, as a weekend.
-
Saw Party Rockets GT at @JAM the field vol. 8 tonight and they were pretty good. PassCode was a mess and all kinds of mayhem broke loose as usual.
Is it just me or is Nachu getting some more attention as far as vocals lately? She's not as bad as before? I guess that's one good thing about Sakoti's "hiatus" and Makoto's graduation? Everyone seems to be getting more lines or time in the spotlight?
-
Yeah I like the new distribution where Nachu and Anja gets more lines.
Also for no good reason I dabbled into 2ch earlier and some people seem to think that Sakoti and Anja weren't getting along and that's why she left? Not sure if there's any truth to that though.
-
Seems odd that it became so bad after 5 years but then again Akkyan just up and quit THE Possible (9 years) after Tokyo Idol Festival in 2015.

regarding Anna/Sako, I have no idea. Maybe the Tour Final this weekend will give more info on Sacotee (Band Passpo).
-
^ Oh I don't think she will be back, however I would love for that to happen (and I would go mental actually seeing it).
My guess is that her contract runs out at the end of the year and she might announce something then.
-
Sako will come back...
as a member of 3 mini. :roll:

Mogwai!!!

Sako will come back...
as a member of 3 mini. :roll:
There's a lot of signs pointing to that for sure, especially with Mayu being in palet as well. If palet gets more busy, Mayu steps out and Sakotee steps in! They never had a green member did they? Seems like a huge step down though since 3min doesn't seem to be going anywhere in a hurry. They're like Platinum's version of GEM but not as successful.
-
given that my interest in Palet is growing and I think that right now they are doing better shows and songs, I'd approve Sako on Palet. :twothumbs
-
Honestly, I could never really get into Palet. I can only think of two Palet songs I really liked off the top of my head and that's because one stole the general idea of the dance for PASSPO☆'s Material Girl and the other sounds like a Silent Siren song.
-
So based on the video Takenaka tweeted looks like Yuky is a guitarist now. I don't know if this news to anyone else or not, but this is news to me . . .

Just got back from the shows
The first concert started with Band PASSPO, everyone seemed to have improved a bit, Naomi seemed be as good on the guitar as Sako was, Yukimi didn't seem to play as much as Naomi used to but I think she had a cool stance with the guitar (ofc nothing is really rock like cool considering their costumes). They played Wanted as the first track and that was pretty cool, I think they opened with 4 band tracks and did one more later, the rest was to playback music.
During the encore, the two guitarists were suddenly hit by spotlights, and in turn all of the other members each read a letter where they thanked them for stepping up (yes a lot of crying happened).
The second concert had no band PASSPO it was all playback but somehow I think it was better, they did a time-machine recap of 2010-2014 ending with Tracks, then Aipon talked about Makoccan for a long time (I have no idea what she said) - a the risk of losing some cool-points (if I had any) I kinda teared up during Tracks (and Growing Up) both songs had Aipon singing Makocchan's solo parts.
I probably forgot something important but I'm beat......
Oh yeah Puti-passpo opened with 3 songs before both of the concerts, they are still pretty raw but I think they improved over last time I saw them.
-
I felt like Naomin was struggling with playing lead but Yukkii playing rhythm guitar is a definite step up from "DJ". Part of me hoped that Makocchan would show up to sing her lines and then disappear but I was definitely moved by them doing "Tracks" as well. The Anya x Nachu antics during "Step and Go" were pretty much a lot of dry humping during the evening show.
Puchi PASSPO waving to fans as they left the evening show from the balcony was pretty awesome. There were still quite a few sets of the Pavengers photos when I left the 2nd show.
Apparently, Nagao Mariya from AKB was at the show too. Check her Twitter/Instagram for proof.
Not sure how Nippon Crown compared to Universal but, full MVs and what seems like more freedom to upload different content seems pretty good. Wondering how the whole YouTube RED thing will affect them though.
Wanted to buy the new towel but, to be honest, I thought it was kind of bad compared to the previous one. Would have definitely bought a Hacchake-tai hat though.
-
Apparently, Nagao Mariya from AKB was at the show too. Check her Twitter/Instagram for proof.
I heard she was on-stage in some fashion segment for Kamen Joshi at SSA the other day as well - seems to be getting around the larger idol lives.
-
Hm, I was hoping for new show announcements for end of the year as well. But seems there wasn't info on that.
As for Yukki playing guitar now - My wish came true. Now Nachu is the only one with no instrumental value in the Band Version.
-

FTFY

I heard about this. cool. I wasn`t aware she is a wota. gained a lot of points in my books. (she had zero before :P )
-
Puchi PASSPO waving to fans as they left the evening show from the balcony was pretty awesome.
Yeah that was pretty cute, I still can't recall their names but after seeing them a few times I have to say I think Yukimi's sister has a very charming personality and the black one is probably going to turn into a really pretty lady someday.
Not sure how Nippon Crown compared to Universal but, full MVs and what seems like more freedom to upload different content seems pretty good. Wondering how the whole YouTube RED thing will affect them though.
Is Nippon Crown considered a major or indie label, I saw that they were a spin-off of Columbia Records and it seems like they have a couple of popular non idol groups to their name. I guess it doesn't matter that much, to me it didn't seem like Universal was throwing money at them.
Wanted to buy the new towel but, to be honest, I thought it was kind of bad compared to the previous one. Would have definitely bought a Hacchake-tai hat though.
Yeah I passed on that one as well, got the old one with the plane since it wasn't there last time I saw them.
-
New song will be performed at Tokyo Dome City Hall on 12/20. Girls Pajama Party on 12/25 at Harajuku Astro Hall.
Apparently, they will be able to do more unit songs (not just Hacchake-tai) in the future.

So apparently the differences in releases I noticed so far is stopping the usage of "First Class" "Business Class" "Economy Class" "Low Cost Carrier" to diffentiate the different album versions. Also instead of one of the DVD versions having a dance version of the music video it's now replaced with a making of video (Although, I have no idea why you would want the making of video without getting the actual music video). Finally, a minor thing to note, but Crown Records doesn't know how to spell instrumental. Unless you want to theorize the idea that new PASSPO☆ is band PASSPO☆ and that what they really mean is instrument all (all members instruments). This would also explain why they no longer have a dance shot version music video anymore, because you can't really dance and play instruments at the same time too well. Though that's just some random a** theory I'm throwing in due to their inability to spell instrumental, and in no way am serious about any of it. However, if somehow this ends up being true . . . wow . . .
-
They don't care that much about spelling or if the English even makes sense - half of the idol songs with English in them makes no sense people that actually understand English, like BiSH song "Is this call" I mean WTF is that supposed to mean!!!
Your band theory is kinda shot down though by the fact that Perfect Sky HAD a dance shot version, I see no indication of them transforming into a band permanently and I really wouldn't want them to.
Overall I'm happy that they chose a making of over the dance shot it's more interesting to watch (for me anyway), but I'm sure some fans are sad that they won't know the choreography to a new song right away but i'm sure they will manage.
-
Again I wasn't even being serious with the theory, so if it's flawed, that was the point. As for video content, I personally just don't like ones that involve any kind of prolonged talking because I don't understand Japanese and I wouldn't be able to follow what's being said or know what's going on.
-
I neither care about MV or Dance shot version. They should record a live performance. Making of is at least enjoyable, as you can see the idols act in their natural habitat (lol). But even then it takes a lot of effort to sit through it completely - like the language barrier, that was mentioned as well as it is kind of boring for me. I would rather like them to show, how they prepare for shows and events.
-
You know in retrospect, for the groups whose labels put full music videos on Youtube in HD, it kind of defeats the point of having one or two MVs on a disc. I mean I like watching music videos, but I feel like looking them up on any internet enabled device and watching them is more faster and more convenient than trying to watch them off a disc. But yeah, live performance stuff would be nice and yes there is some joy in watching the making of stuff, but I agree with what wattstax said in regards to that. Like even the Youtube stuff they post sometimes I can't sit through completely because of the language barrier and having no idea what's going on and losing interest since some of them kind of drag on for a while. Granted stuff like Mio singing while everyone is staring at her works because you don't understand what's being said to understand why this is funny.
-
Well there is a difference between endless talking and a "making of a video", usually they don't involve that much talking.
-
Huh . . . I guess Japanese making of videos are different than most American ones I've seen . . .
Here's a random PASSPO one I found on Youtube. It doesn't even have talking at all.

A little late on the impressions but anyway.
Overall I wasn't disappointed one bit. Wanted by band Passpo was totally unexpected and a nice surprise. I always felt that since the girls' abilities on the instruments were somewhat limited, that the band songs were written with that in mind. You don't need to be a pro to play Perfect sky or Shiny road let's put it that way. That's why it was a nice surprise to see them do something outside the usual songs. They all did pretty good but I thought Annya was especially good on the drums. She seemed comfortable behind her drum set and she really nailed her parts. And yeah, at times Naomi was struggling a little bit. Nothing too major though.
Me and Rezar agreed that the second show was definitely better. The first one was too talkative for my taste. This is something that will only be a problem for foreigners it would seem as it felt like the rest of the crowd were enjoying those chats. For a while there it looked like the Annya show from my perspective. She was talking the most in between songs and got some big laughs from the crowd on occasions.
I like the vast majority of their songs but I felt the second show's set was just stronger. The retrospect was nice. Most of the songs were cut short but they did play "I" completely which was amazing. It's such a great live song. Another one I was really looking forward to was "You". It's pretty much my favorite on the last album. They ended up playing it at the very end, on the second encore. It is also a really good live song.
One thing I wasn't prepared for was the "rituals" some of the die hard fans go through during their concerts. Screaming the name of the member who's singing (along with the glowsticks), the front section moving left and right during Step and Go, kneeling during certain parts, which I had no idea why they were doing it but I went along with it to not look like an idiot, and probably tons of other stuff I'm forgetting. I mean I consider myself a fan but these people are FANS. :lol: It was great though. It made the show more enjoyable. You really felt like you were part of something.
Puchi passpo was also a nice surprise. I had no idea they were going to be there. They offered an ok performance but their young age and lack of experience somewhat shows in their performances. Some of those dance moves sure felt stiff. But they were all smiles and really seemed happy to be there so that kinda made up for it. I have to say I'm pretty happy with their song output so far. Of the 5 songs I've heard, there's only one I don't care too much for. The rest are all solid. Their last one is my favorite.
That's all I can think of. It was an awesome day all around, even if a little long.
-
^ Oh yeah the Annya MC'ing I recall you mentioning that, she has been MC'ing the most for a while now and it's not at all unusual to have someone other than the leader MC.
In a couple of groups I know of the leader mainly does the into/outro and important announcements and some other girl does the rest of the MC, I think it's a good way to distribute the "work" and since Aipon is more popular than the rest of the girls together she don't need to be in the spotlight all the time.
-
I liked how they had that one fan apologize for doing Awa Odori during Naomi's parts in "Cosmic You" during the first live and then all the fans around him crouched down so he could be spotted by her when he did it!
I was hoping that Makocchan would come out just to sing her lines in "TRACKS" after they had her, Sakoti, and Mushu appear in the animated bit but that was too much to expect, I guess.
Similar to Anya, Ayano from Upga (also purple) talks a lot during MCs even though she's not the leader.
Naomin kind of got lost in the mix during the solos but she had to learn all new parts so that might get better next time? Always thought it was a bit strange that she had the more lead player-looking guitar when she was rhythm but now both her and Yukkii have similar guitars. Yukkii would have looked badass with an Explorer, Flying V, or Les Paul-type of guitar though!
I still don't know the call and response for "Pretty Lie" so I feel you on not being "that much of a fan".

I was waiting on your review, Clem. I am happy, that you enjoyed it.
The setlist is very important for enjoyment. I always struggle when Passpo performs too much of their idolish material. That Naomi is still not on the level that Sacotee has been was to be expected. Naomi never seemed to have been trained on any lead guitar, just rhythm. The gap between both playing styles is a big one. And as they most probably don't play by ear but by studied sequences. So any mistake makes it hard to get back on track.
Annya is such a great entertainer, I am happy to see her have the initiative. Aipon is much too nice to do something similar.
The kind of fan participation you described is what endears me the most of idol shows. It is so much more fun and you really feel as important part of the show. I am glad to hear from a veteran like mixedmedia, that even he doesn't bother of doing the chants. I tried it but I am much more comfortable with mostly listening/moving accordingly. Remembering the chants always gets me distracted.
But Clem, the other importance of the show you let out of your review: the after show events? How was your impression and how was your meeting with Morishi? ;)
What about other lives?
-
I was hoping that Makocchan would come out just to sing her lines in "TRACKS" after they had her, Sakoti, and Mushu appear in the animated bit but that was too much to expect, I guess.
LOL, I would have cried so much if that had happened, I'm such a softie.
-
One thing I wasn't prepared for was the "rituals" some of the die hard fans go through during their concerts. Screaming the name of the member who's singing (along with the glowsticks), the front section moving left and right during Step and Go, kneeling during certain parts, which I had no idea why they were doing it but I went along with it to not look like an idiot, and probably tons of other stuff I'm forgetting. I mean I consider myself a fan but these people are FANS. :lol: It was great though. It made the show more enjoyable. You really felt like you were part of something.
Nice review! Was this your first idol live?
-
But Clem, the other importance of the show you let out of your review: the after show events? How was your impression and how was your meeting with Morishi? ;)
Here we go again, LOL!
(he didn't get to meet her since there was some confusion as to when the 2shots were to take place)
-
But Clem, the other importance of the show you let out of your review: the after show events? How was your impression and how was your meeting with Morishi? ;)
What about other lives?
Yeah that didn't happen. In between the two shows there were people lining up to redeem their benefits tickets. I personally wasn't interested in the handshake thing, but a picture would've been nice. I watched for about 10-15 minutes and nobody was taking pictures so I figured this was probably done at a later time? Like after the second show? I don't know if this is what happened but I can tell you that after the second show, having been on my feet for 12 hours more or less, I had my fill and just wanted to go home :lol: so that's pretty much what happened.
As far as other lives are concerned... Most of the week I was either too busy or too tired at the end of my day to go to lives. I went to the festival-ish thing the night before Passpo. It was at the Shinjuku REnY. Rezar was there. It was actually pretty good. Each idol unit would perform for about 15-20 minutes tops, then they were quickly followed by the next act. No intermissions, nothing. I didn't know any of the groups but it was still fun. Stayed there for about 2 hours.
Nice review! Was this your first idol live?
Is it that obvious? :lol:
-
Maybe I should have mentioned that there was a free live at Akasaka BLITZ last night with PASSPO as the last group? Sorry.
https://wannabee.jp/projects/15/index (https://wannabee.jp/projects/15/index)
Would have gone except I probably came down with something after sitting outside between the first and second shows on Saturday trying to cool off. I hate how it's become popular to put big prints on the front and/or back of shirts, which makes them not breathe and just collect sweat.
Doesn't help when a lot of places jack up the heat in winter either.
-
^ it wasn't free as such it was a crowdfunded event and I wanted to go but couldn't figure out how to buy a 0 y ticket, there were no buttons to click, maybe because I didn't have a bank-account associated with my account.
I've also gotten sick, but I think I brought it from home just a slight cold so far.
Also since the girls have not even acknowledged the existence of the new "best of" CD's I think I will pass on them (at least for now)
-
As those CDs feature the Blurays, it will be a must-buy for me.
-
Yeah bought them also for the same reason and according to Amazon Japan the Pop version already was sent out a few hours ago with some other stuff I ordered. Although apparently they must not have enough stock of the Power version because they e-mailed me saying it's not coming until maybe the middle or end of next week. :smhid
Oh and as a side note, is this usual? I kind of assumed they'd hold back on sending anything until they had all the items I ordered in stock. :huhuh
Edit: Amazon Japan just sent me another e-mail saying they estimate I'll get it by the beginning of next week now(or maybe earlier since I think I usually receive my packages before the dates they estimate).
-
Amazon in Germany does the same: Although the option "complete delivery" was chosen, they will still send out articles of the same order individual or in several deliveries. As they don't charge it extra, I am okay with it.
-
Oh, usually they don't send out any of my orders until the pre-order with the latest release date is available.
Edit: I just noticed that Aipon and Morishi retweeted the PASSPO☆ staff twitter's tweet about the 2 collections being released. Does that count as them acknowledging it exists?

Barely.
Btw. as for the new label I like their packaging, I bought the Band Maid CD and it's a nice gate-fold cover and the two discs are in protective covers.
Also I didn't know that Band Maid was also part of Platinum PASSPORT, they need to do some colabs :)

Yeah, that is the normal way idol lives are - a bunch of groups, only about 15-20mins each.
And yeah, last time I went to Hacchake-tai, I was also so confused about the chekis and missed them. Passpo buppan is confusing.
Also I didn't know that Band Maid was also part of Platinum PASSPORT, they need to do some colabs :)
Mmm, the one time I saw Bandmaid was at a Passpo show, so I kinda just assumed they performed together often. I can't remember if they actually did a song together or not. I don't think so... Bandmaid still confuse me, are they trying to be a real band or idols? And all the maid stuff, like the way they say master/mistress on their twitters, that just throws me...
-
Well I guess they kinda are a metal group and idols at the same time, the lyrics for their latest video that is in English is really stupid and sexual, The startling line is "You make me so wet" not sure if their Japanese songs are the same way.
-

I didn't know Band-Maid were on Crown, but I definitely knew they were part of Platinum Passport. Also as far as Collabs, so far this is the closest that exists . . .

They are a band, they have never presented themselves as anything else. As for the maid stuff, I look at it like how Scandal in the beginning always dressed in school uniforms.
-
You bought New Beginning? Cool! It is on my list as well. Would love to attend a show of them.
The Maid identity origins in Miku's job at the time of the founding: She worked as maid. She then asked friends for joining her who also knew friends, Saiki was found via audition - so basically the same story as Queen back then.
You can read this english! interview which answers some of the questions. They are a band, just using the maid appearance as their trademark, similar to those Visual Kei groups in their outfits. We shouldn't confuse out western perception of groups on those in Japan.
With the attention they gathered this year I hope to see them on some European Festival in 2016, maybe Japan Expo or Hyper Japan.
-

Actually Western bands do this also. I mean look at Slipknot and their masks or Kiss and their face paint for example.
-
But thosr are more exceptions here. Whereas in Japan it seems to be the rule. Or am I wrong here?
-
^ Everything we see nowadays in Japan has been done (long) before in some form, be it visual kei (Ziggy Stardust) or Ladybeard (Dee Snider), to name a few.
From the seventies, a lot of rockbands started to make use of gimmicks to be more distinctive, like the above mentioned Kiss (makeup), Iron Maiden (Eddie) and ACDC (schoolboy outfit).
However, the few girls rockbands that gained popularity over the years (I can think of The Gogo's, The Runaways and The Bangles right now) were remarkably gimmick-less, probably because being all female was enough to stand out.
Right now in Japan we see an explosion of girls bands over the last decade. Maybe Bandmaid feel the same urge to stand out just as male rockbands did (and still do) in the west, just like a lot of idol groups have some sort of gimmick to stand out from the crowd, with Passpo being a prime example.
-
Sorry for the offtopic but this is the cringe lyrics for Band Maids "Don't Let me down".
You make me so wet
I always get want I want
I've been waiting for you in the cave
You say I've been so bad
Maybe I should spank you baby
Anyway your gonna be my slave
Heaven and Hells gonna turn over topsy-turvy
I know you wanna give it to me
Deeper and deeper and faster and faster delight
Your body is mine tonight
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Ah hold me tight
I know your a leg man
You look so dumb right now
You can only wait with earnest
You should stay in the cage
This relationship never change
Always watching you like a scientist
So would you give head and give me good till I say stop (wut)
When I feel down, to bring me up
Bigger and bigger and thicker and thicker delight
I need to find the light
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Ah hold me tight
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Ahhhh
I don't want to waste my time
I don't want to waste my time
I just wanna say
I gotta say
I gotta say
Scream
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Cause our love is gone away
Ah hold me tight
Don't let me down

I never realized before that this song is completely in English :doh: . . .

Me neither :lol:

Now back to PASSPO☆ . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3jkXBVcxAo

So anyone else received their Pop'n'Power? I have to say the packaging is really well done. The covers and booklets are really nice. If anyone were just discovering the group and were looking for a "best bang for your buck" purchase, I would recommend this in a heartbeat. 40 of their best songs (well, 39. Fairy tale is in there :smhid ) + about 15 videos along with all that City hall footage, all in HD. But enough with the stuff we already know...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MibP-3nf4Q
-
Hey wait . . . I like Fairy Tale :sweatdrop: . . .
I got a package from Amazon Japan today consisting of only Pop, the Band-Maid album, and an album of another idol group that whose name won't be mentioned right now (which I bought mostly because their latest single inexplicably comes with a full live show blu-ray). Apparently if DHL's tracking is correct, I'm supposed to get Power tomorrow, so I wasn't planning to open Pop until then (in retrospect, I have no idea why they didn't ship them together considering it's only a 1 day difference) . . .
-
I like Fairy Tale as well. I can name several other songs, that I find below average.
But why can't you mention Guso Drop?
-
I like Fairy Tale as well. I can name several other songs, that I find below average.
But why can't you mention Guso Drop?
I don't know what that is in regards to Passpo. The only Guso Drop I know is the idol metal group.
-
Not sure why, but as I remembered it it was only a few songs on the BD's since it's most (all) I'll be getting it with my next amazon order (was at Tower records but didn't buy them there, I might as well save).
-
I don't think I even know who Guso Drop is . . . also the only reason I don't mention this group's name is because no one really seems to care whenever I mention them.
-
Ah, so a different group is doing the same then. I heard about Guso Drop releasing a single now, with full video of their One Man.
-
Oh I don't know anything about that, but I will say the group I'm talking about has the gimmick of always being dressed as bears.
-
NOW I am intrigued: What kind of video will they put EXCACTLY on the CD?
(I love some specific idol group that wears bear costumes ;) )
-
(I love some specific idol group that wears bear costumes ;) )
Yeah, who doesn't like those.
Also the Guso Drop cd isn't out yet.
-
Apparently the people I talk to on twitter don't or are indifferent. Although I did inadvertently get a couple of people there to like PASSPO☆. :lol:
Also it's not really a costume, it's more like a bear hoodie that they never take off and just wear clothes over it.
-
Well, just start a discussion in the idol post whore thread. Me, Rezar and maybe few others will participate. Promise ;)
And although it is a hoodie, they also wear those bear gloves (which are very cozy btw). So I regard it as costume :D
And now stop the Off Topic :P
PASSPO will present their new single already on Decembre 20, at a free show. Let's see if their will be changes because of the new label behind them.
-
I want to know why it's Mr. Wednesday as opposed to any other day of the week. :nervous
-
You're looking for logic in Japanese English?!? :lol:
-
No I'm just trying to make chit chat because not much is going on right now in PASSPO☆ land as far as I know right now. :P
-
True. Year end shows are rare, for either PASSPO as Hachake Tai. Showrooms I don't understand, Single is only next year...
Perfect state to enjoy the Christmas Season comfortably ;)
-
Ok I went ahead and ordered them, all the lives and the MV's in 1080p can't be missed even if nothing is new.
Could have them in the morning since I have amazon prime (in Japan) but decided for a Monday noon delivery since I have stuff to do tomorrow.
-
I believe Guso Drop held the funeral ceremony for the bear quite some months ago now.
-
Sakoti interviewed Manatsu from Babyraids!
http://youtu.be/Ay9AhcMyvk8
A link to it online should be coming soon!
-
I'm sitting here listening to songs on both Power and Pop and I'm slowly realizing there are a few PASSPO☆ songs I don't remember, instantly remember, or remember differently :huhuh . . .
-
But you know all the songs, right? Maybe it sounds different listening to them in a different sequence?
And is it good or bad?
This brings me to the notion, that many earlier songs I dislike with PASSPO I actually really enjoy when being performed by Hachake Tai. They fit much more to the sub-unit's style.
-
For example . . .
- I know they have song called Wish On A Star, but I can't even remember what that sounds like unless I listen to it.
- I feel like I never heard See You Again before but at the same time it sounds familiar.
- I seem to sometimes confuse Mousou No Hawaii and Mudai with each other despite one of them clearly having a ukulele in it.
- Are there two versions of Growing Up?
- I don't remember hearing Hakana before.
- Doesn't have to do with Power or Pop, but don't even know the name of the song PASSPO☆ uses in all their Youtube videos.
-
Well, the first three points you stated, are very common in general. Some songs stick more in memory than others.
With Growing Up I have no idea what you mean. I only know one version. Seems subconsciouly you associate the song with something that doesn't fit your recent listening to it.
You're last points seem to show, that you either never or at least hardly listening to their first albums. So Hakane is a very generic song, so it is excused :P
The Youtube song is Natsuzora Dash. Or did you mean you remember the song, but can't remember its name? I already gave up on naming every song of a group by name. That's what wikipedia is for now, lol
-
I feel like there's a version of Growing Up with violins.
Oh I remember parts of the song, I just have no idea the name of it for the life of me.
-
I'm sitting here listening to songs on both Power and Pop and I'm slowly realizing there are a few PASSPO☆ songs I don't remember, instantly remember, or remember differently :huhuh . . .
What the hell is wrong with you :banghead:
If you have the latest live you have pretty much every song they ever did.
:cow:
-
It doesn't have all the songs, they cut out a bunch. Like there's no No. 1 Boy or Pretty Lie or that Chinese sounding one . . .
-
It's not that many they cut out when you include the brief clips in the extras.
-
Oh I thought you were talking about the blu-ray because they left out those extra clips and I haven't watched the DVD one in several months. :sweatdrop:
-
Apparently, Nagao Mariya from AKB was at the show too. Check her Twitter/Instagram for proof.
And now she's graduating :smhid . . .
-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTyZJS9GNaU
Guess that's supposed to be a dance version or something!
-
I imagining or do all their songs use bits from classical music or old timey songs?
Edit: Nevermind so far I've figured out . . .

Me ;)
The new song reminds me a lot of Honey Dish. Has the same vibe and structure, but without the edges. No hardrock song in any way. But I like it as it has a lot to offer in the fan participation level.
I liked the events around it. Well structured and the girls in good mood. Too bad they won't do much lives for the rest of the year.

Did anyone have the foresight to record this, or is this kind of thing frowned upon in Japan?

It wasn't allowed so no.
Actually we could have recorded the audio, there wasn't anything about that only filming!
Oh well we'll hear it soon enough.

Yeah, PASSPO was close to where I live and after that there was good time to get to Divercity in time.

=Passpo v Babyraids rock and roll party=
Most of the time these variety type of shows are hard/impossible to follow for non-Japanese speakers
but this one is quite enjoyable because of the action driven nature of most of the games.
If you think it's too long/boring; someone has a slight image problem (~1:18:00 onwards), there's some drama near the end (~1:35:00), and in general it's quite revealing at times...

The chart reads, from the top, clockwise:
1. Intelligence
2. Spontaneity/quick reactions (something like that)
3. Acting skills
4. (Public) image
5. Physical strenght
Games
1. Knowledge round:
- spell 'pasupo' in roman alphabet
- who is the German composer of the Spring sonata?
- what's the name of the economic reform plan by the Abe administration?
- what's the Chinese name of Mt. Everest? (who the f knows that?)
2. Song intro round: self-explanatory
3. Deception games, name the one who has:
- the wasabi sushi
- the candy ball
- the heavy box
- the shock device
4. Image round, survey questions:
- who makes the biggest mess of her room/apartment?
- who's the bitchiest of them?
- who is GF material?
5. Sumo games: self-explanatory

PASSPO☆'s Makita Sako graduates from the group
January 1, 2016
On PASSPO☆'s blog, it was announced that member Makita Sako (22) graduated from the group as of December 30. Makita has been on hiatus after the group's concert on May 31 due to poor health.
Makita explained on the blog that now is the best timing for her to make a fresh start as she will be graduating from college in March. She wrote, "During the hiatus, I've learned by seeing and feeling a lot of things, which I realized how optimistic I was. At the same time, my vague goal, which I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do or trying to do, became clearer."
According to her, she will continue her solo activities including stuff like choreography, direction, and songwriting.
Makita ended her comment with, "Though we will go to separate ways, please continue supporting both PASSPO☆ and Makita Sako. It may take some time, but I will definitely pay you guys up in some way."
PASSPO☆ is scheduled to release their first single from their new label (http://www.tokyohive.com/article/2015/11/passpo-transfer-to-nippon-crown-to-release-new-single) "Mr. Wednesday" on February 24.

^^^^^^
Very interesting article about Morishi.
This made me chuckle. The Japanese are usually discreet. Kinda funny to see them raising such a ruckus at the airport.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By63uVtqDBI
-
Reminds me of the way K-Pop fans greet their idols at airports. Now I wonder what the other people at the airport are thinking when they see this, like do they wonder if this girl famous or something? Which is funny because she is an actual celebrity but all her fans are her friends/group members. :roll: Also was I the only one that thought it was surreal that PASSPO☆ was at an actual airport considering the group's theme.
-
^^^^^^
Very interesting article about Morishi.
Agree, loved it :)

Reminds me of Keanu Reeves in Akihabara

I liked Yukki's immediate reaction: Hiding behind the shade after she saw the other members. And later trying to calm them down. lol
I guess finally I realized why I like her: I can relate to her second-hand embarrassment. Isn't that true, Rezar? ;)
But poor Riko! Nobody took attention of her although she is acquainted with the group. Was silently and alone walking to the exit...
On a side-note: I actually thought of going to the airport cheering for Yukki as well, as I saw her tweet about coming back that day. Luckily I didn't. Would have been so awkward would had made me look creepy. Phew!!
Passpo btw has had airport lives and such once in a while. So it is not really special.

They said that Riko and Yukkii's mom knew about the surprise.

A lot of the Platinum lives I've been to, there has been the option of "photography seats" in the balcony areas for 10,000 yen so if the photo session is free, there should be a ton of pictures from all the fans who go there with their DSLRs and whatnot.
It better not be something like in that picture because it looks like it'll be hard to dance in.
-

As usual with this kind of stiff it's probably not even something as huge as it sounds, I'll bet it'll be something like they aren't going to be flight-attendants anymore!
Maybe they'll set a goal to play Budokan within a certain time-frame and will break up if it doesn't happen (I swear I was about to go puch the PiiiiiiiN girls faces in with the blabbering about Budokan at the anniversary).
Worst case (for you) they will declare themselves artists and stop doing fan interaction. (it actually sounds like the most likely one to me).
-
lol, every idol on this planet (=Japan) will tell you, that Budokan is their goal ;)

Well DOH, I know that!
The point was with the "time limit"
-
I found the part of the Morishi interview strange, where she was hoping that fans would become interested in the group by their music first and just then take attention of the members. But isn't that the usual procedure, that you start getting interested when you like the music? Even if you like the look of the girl (like seeing her in Cheerz) and then look up the group - Why would you want to be a fan of an unknown idol if you don't even know if you can not enjoy the music and lives?
-
There might be some fans where it works the opposite way around?
While I won't say that I'm a fan, there are certain idols I am interested in more for their personality than their music or because they post good content on Cheerz or yell. Iketeru Hearts definitely got a big boost in popularity internationally thanks to Cheerz.
Would I like Morishi or Anya as much as I do if they were as bad at singing/dancing as Nachu? Probably not.
-
Iketeru Hearts definitely got a big boost in popularity internationally thanks to Cheerz.
They visited conventions in France and Singapore, and maybe some other places, and gained lots of foreign fans through that. Yuyu also tweets in English, which helps.
Even if you like the look of the girl (like seeing her in Cheerz) and then look up the group - Why would you want to be a fan of an unknown idol if you don't even know if you can not enjoy the music and lives?
I think we've talked about this on this forum before, but the whole "getting followed by a random cute idol on twitter" thing has definitely worked on a lot of people...
I dunno, it's not like with idols the music is neccesarilly the main thing at all...
-
This might be just me, but when a random idol follows me on Twitter, one of the first things I do is check what group she's in and if they have a music video and watch it to see if their music sucks or not.
-
^exactly!
-
Based on the photos being tweeted right now, they're still flight attendants . . .
Well actually the outfit doesn't really look like a flight attendant, but they still have the hats.
Update:
(http://i.imgur.com/bFs6qet.jpg?1)
-
Why the hell can't they all wear the same style outfit :thumbdown:
Also they are doing a "color fusion" including the members that left
Naomin is now Passion Pink (Red + Macocchans Pink)
Mio is now Mint Green (Light Blue + Sakotes Green)
-
So what the career changing announcement then? Was there even one?
-
As usual with this kind of stiff it's probably not even something as huge as it sounds
-
I see tweets about something but the translations all make it hard to understand.
Update: According to Tokyo Girls' Update and my own guess work from the other tweets, Mio fused with Sako and Kaho to become Mint Green, and Naomi fused with Makoto to become Passion Pink. I guess that was the announcement . . .
According to Tokyo Girls' Update Morishi's self introduction is now "Everyone in Brazil, can you hear my voice?!"

it's true, mio mint green now, fusion color between kaho and sako, and naomi became passion pink, fusion colors Naomi and Mako-chan
-
If the new colour coding is the huge announcement... :doh:
Luckily not a fan of each so I don't have to buy new light sticks or merchandize :lol:
Anyway, like the new uniform but agree with Rezar: Why not all the same? Mio must be very self-conscious about her body. As always, Yukki, Naomin and Annya got the best of it.
-
Oh my God, they actually did fuse . . . with a fusion dance even . . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEiBNo2jOp4

Nice to see the old members appear for this :)

-

Yeah... Slow news week for the group.
On the bright side, since the single is coming out in a month and a half, I'm thinking a new video is probably not that far off.
-
:lol: I`ll admit this "career changing announcement" is stupid, once again a troll job by the producers BUT... this time I actually enjoyed it. was funny and well made, specially the reference to Sailor Moon. getting the former members to participate in this stunt was a nice touch too. kinda sucks for their fans since her colors are changing and they`ll need t buy new stuff, but I couldn`t care less. specially in Mio`s case, a version of green suits more than having two blue girls in the group.
interesting that Morishi now makes reference to Brazil. they are definitely aware that, out of the countries "on the other side of the planet", Brazil has more Passpo fans than most. sucks for Wil that it`s Morishi, not Oppaipon though. :P

I had a feeling we were done with the ground crew but I'm glad to see I was wrong. The most surprising part of this is Kaho. Hasn't she been out of the idol scene for years?
Strange lineup. Only two of the current members will be there.
-
Why should the shows with the Ground Crew end? :?
Kaho is a surprise. Does she really want to come back to the industry? How old is Musshu by the way?
Morishi and MioMio are no surprises. Shiori will do the singing with Akane :heart: and Mio will do some bass. I think I remember her playing the bass at the last time too. She seems to be the only member with certain instrumental skills right now. Maybe Annya is on par with her. But drummers are always overlooked :smhid
-
^^ Well it's a Ground Crew concert not PASSPO, I guess Mio is there to play some bass and the other girls are there to sing since I assume they have no singer.
Not really sure about Kaho, apparently she is still listed as a Platinum PASSPO artist so I guess she's still considered active!!!
-
Why should the shows with the Ground Crew end? :?
It's just that we went through 2015 completely without seeing them. They didn't appear once in last fall's tour. I was beginning to wonder. I like the ground crew and hopefully we'll see them with the full Passpo lineup sometimes soon.
-
Last time (2014/10/24) Saiki and Miku (Band-Maid) sang 4 Passpo songs, Shiori did 2, and Mio sang and played bass on American Idiot.
Here's a report, incl. setlist.
http://ameblo.jp/tukumo-the-chief/entry-11945108361.html

not too excited about this one but I may go since it's on my day off. :roll:
-
I wouldn't either. Isn't there some Up Up event for you? :P
-
right now, no. but their schedule for that day is open and the next day they'll have a show in saitama, so they could very well have some event around... let's see. :)
edit: they just announced a new round of teiki kouens at Cultures Zone. rofl yeah, not going to this show anymore. need to see mai waifu

Type A, B and C singles
Also, the other song is called Musical Party.

-
Cover for Type-A is the best/lead bad except for YUkkii's hand being partially cut out of the frame and I have no idea how she isn't falling off the hood of the bus. Aipon Blue Steel!
Type-B: I get that they can't show brand names on the cover (even though the Ns for their New Balance Shoes are obviously visible) but the PTO on the bag of chips looks silly. Why not just "Chips"? Morishi and Anya's eyes are all squinty and Mio looks like she got caught off guard.
Type-C: another Anya weird face and Yukkii looks like she just realized that she forgot something.
I wonder where the place from the video is. Maybe Kanagawa or Chiba? Seems like a place that some old rock and roll oyaji (who is somehow rich) would live there. I saw someone comment that it might be some old hotel or something though. It's always a big jarring to see all that retro Americana decor though. Makes me feel like I'm in a fancy burger or steak restaurant.
-
Lol, I was contemplating on Yukki's pose for Type A as well. Maybe she leans on the mirror? Otherwise I don't see any possible explanation, where she doesn't lose her balance soon. :?
For Annya and Yukki faces: I consider them normal for those two. Yukki often looks kinda clueless and Annya loves to do weird faces. In her case I find her look on Type A much more interesting: She looks so bored/annoyed there.
Did you see that they also keep the popularity of the members in place: The 4 popular ones in front, the other 3 in the back? It never occurred to me before that PASSPO is very strict on that, until someone mentioned it to me.
Hmmm, a steak restaurant... :wub:
-
According to my PS3, after the I uploaded the music video to it earlier this afternoon it says I've played it 85 times since then. :nervous
-
Aah, hence the "crazy" in your name... :huhuh
-
Yeah I left it playing on the TV adjacent to my laptop, it's to the point that now I hear "Helloween, Helloween" instead of "Heavenly, heavenly" now . . .
-
is it asking too much for them to once in a lifetime have a cover who doesn't consist on a group shot with the members doing strange faces? all passpo covers are always the same shit. the lack of creativity is astonishing. :thumbdown:

One girl from Yururirapo said she did a gravure video there so I think you are right.
And who the hell cares about CD-covers anyway :?
-
I care becuz I'm a cd collector and will buy this shit someday. the art in the cd cover and booklet is always an important element to me, while judging how good the releases are. and a nice cover can always attract people, non fans. it is a promotional thing, you know...
-
Tsutomo, we are talking about PASSPO and Platinum Agency hear. You really expect them to mak good marketing and such? :lol:
-
yeah, you r sadly right. that agency is a lost cause.
-
The dance version of "Mr. Wednesday" will be released once the normal version has been viewed 50,000 times.... it might be a while :/
-
Might be is an understatement . . .

Chorus isn't too bad. Overall just average. This song will remain a B side.
-
Hm, I don't like the chorus. It is too general and poppy, opposed to the rest of the song structure. The basic instrumentation is great. But I hate horns in rock songs.
-
Musical Party
Hey, it's Black Night* with a bubblegum chorus pasted in the middle! It's a (cheerful) mess, but I like it somehow, apart from the above mentioned god awful trumpets.
* guitar riff obv. stolen from Deep Purple - Black Night (or rather Ricky Nelson - Summertime to be precise)
-
I'm worried.... I'm not really liking the change that has happened with the sound since One World/JetJetJet!
-
I totally understand your concerns. I feel the same.
Beef and Chicken wasn't too bad though and didn't abandon their heavier notions. But that little I got from interviews seemed to me like the members wanted to follow a more poppy approach, the so-called American Girls Rock.
I assume that follow-up releases will continue to change between rockier stuff like "Not in Theory" and the more pop-like songs (Mr.Wednesday).
-
About "Not in Theory" I'm not sure if Kentaro is writing songs for Band Maid (I know he produced 2 of the songs on the CD) but it sounds more like a Band Maid song than a PASSPO song, in fact I don't think it suits PASSPO at all.
In fact I'm not even worried about PASSPO being heavy or not, I care more about the general style and I hope it isn't all going to be too cheesy, I do like both "Honey Dish" and "Mr. Wednesday" but I wouldn't want a whole album filled with songs like that.
-
As Shiori said in her interview with TGU, 'we can't go on like this'. They're stagnant for the last few years in terms of popularity, so things probably are going to change.
* They're all adults now, so it's probable they have a bigger vote in the musical direction than before. With at least 5 pop girls in the group, it's not hard to guess what that direction will be.
* They're looking for a broader target audience (aka girls) -> resulting in dance versions, gpp's, and cuter songs.
* On the other hand, they have a producer/main composer whose influences are firmly rooted in 80's/90's western (hard)rock.
Resulting in songs where he tries to make everyone happy I guess, but that sound forced/messy/cheesy imo.
About "Not in Theory" I'm not sure if Kentaro is writing songs for Band Maid (I know he produced 2 of the songs on the CD) but it sounds more like a Band Maid song than a PASSPO song, in fact I don't think it suits PASSPO at all.
Yes, these 2, Thrill and Shake that, he composed them as well.
I agree NiT is (almost) heavy metal so more in style with Band Maids album, but what does suit Passpo and what doesn't? HTE is very untypical but a lot of fun imo, Fairy Tale sounds more like Predia... (and Predia's Kiss Kiss Kiss that he also wrote sounds more like Palet, and so on...)
It's not that Passpo has a clear cut musical direction. Please let them try new things, with mixed results.
There are loads of idol songs that don't suit the group that performs them (making them sound almost exactly like another group). Is that a problem or part of the charm of the genre? I think the latter.
-
^ remember, it was my opinion, there isn't anything objective about it.
We probably all like PASSPO for different reasons, and I wasn't ever a 'fanboy' type of fan of anyone, so if an artist I like suddenly makes crap music I have no problem dumping them.
I fell in love with PASSPO for the styles on One world/Jetjetjet (quite diverse) so if they stray too far from that sound it's going to be a problem for me.
-
Hanji, I like your persepctive and your reasoning for the change in direction makes sense. As I said, if they keep on mixing the more idoly songs with more straight numbers I am fine. What I would dislike would be the reversion to their earlier output (Take Off, Check-In). But I don't see that, as the group still enjoys to perform their more recent tracks. On a side note, your interpretation of Morishi's interview is consistent with mine and some others theory here over a year ago. They are looking to attract fans again they had during their early years, when their sound was more idolish. At least I can imagine a considerable amount of their early fans wasn't pleased with their change in style in the period of Check-In to One World. But I wasn't a fan then, so I have no idea if it is true.
In the regard to what suits a group and what not: PASSPO is not a group who should stray to far from their path. I disagree with you. In my opinion they definitely established a pretty consistent type of style for them. They are not like Yurumerumo. It would be disastrous for me if they suddenly would perform a wide range of Electro-based songs, for example. Experimentations are fine though, like they did with Final Vision, which is more EDM. Or the Hachake Tai song High Tension Emotion.
Dumping a group if they change their style completely, like Rezar, is something I would consider as well. I did that a lot with (non-idol) groups in the past. Idol groups are a bit different, as at least for me there is the personal conncetion with the group members. But my primary reason for liking any group or band is their music, so I am not sure, if that really would make a difference here.
-
Coincidentally, I also am in the similar predicament of considering "dumping groups for changing styles and/or not appealing to me anymore". Granted I feel like PASSPO☆'s music generally interests me enough that I'm not really worried with them in those regards.
-
I'm not sure how I feel about this :nervous . . .

I guess all this lack of news or activity has given them way too much free time :wth . . .
-
I doubt that, guess they just did it during practice, I'm fairly sure they are pretty busy at the moment preparing choreographies for the new songs and stuff.
-
Haven't watched the Dance Versions, but I assume Rezar likes the second version more because of solo Morishi ;)
And regarding free time: Putting up practice dancing is pretty common with idols. Passpo itself released a bunch of it around 2012.
-
Other than Mr. Wednesday and Musical Party, what new songs do they need to prepare for? Also I was joking about the "too much free time" in relation to how ridiculous the "new version" is.
-
Haven't watched the Dance Versions, but I assume Rezar likes the second version more because of solo Morishi ;)
Not really for that reason, I thought it was fun - but obviously having Morishi as the main person was a bonus.

On today's set list for Nagoya there is a song listed on #3 named "7's Up". Anyone know this?

Oh god it hurts just knowing I won't be able to make it. I hope they have something similar (band Passpo) planned for the fall.
-
^ same
So they sold out at their concert at Ebisu Liquidroom tonight, it's not huge but still around 1,200 people that's not too bad :)
-
Great news indeed. I was hoping them doing a Band Passpo Live! Won't take a trip only for this though, when I am there in late April. (Only have 5 unscheduled vacation days left this year.)
Selling out Liquidroom seems to be a good sign as well. 1,200 people in their current state is very nice.
Edit: I just checked: It is on the 28th of May!! Only at Astro Hall though. Buy your tickets fast!
-
^ typo, I fixed it.
I'm going back on the 9th of May so I'm definitely extending my trip by two days.
-
Soooo jealous :cry:

Listened to Musical Party some more and I'm pretty sure BAND PASSPO will be playing it, it seems fairly simple to me.

Such a cool promo.
It's impressive they'll be doing an entire band Passpo concert. They must've been practicing a lot.
Somewhat unrelated. Isn't it high time for a new DVD/BR? Last November's Stellar Ball concert was shot on video IIRC. Maybe the recent gig at the Liquid room was too. Come on Crown, give us something. It's been a year since Flight 2015 was released.

Indeed. In fact the B.L.T. is already available.

-
nice, the girls in the background wearing Predia uniforms.
Ruin is a great song, but a rarity in their performances. The only time I ever saw it on the setlist was for the New Years Live. And even then it was just performed by Morishi, if I remember correctly.

I don't recall which single Ruin is from but it's a pretty good song.
BTW do you have your ticket for 5/28? Their website says it's already sold out. Awesome. I hope you have it.
I also just noticed they have a new layout for the official website. It's a Welcome change. http://passpo.jp/
-
^ no I didn't get a ticket, but I was prepared for that since the pre-sale sold out instantly which is a good indication that the public sale will sell out instantly ass well.
Next time I hope they pick a larger venue.
-
The size of the venue they chose is ridiciulous. Astro Hall has maybe room for 200 people? Much too small for a group like Passpo, especially taking into account, that it is the premiere for Band Passpo (as solo act).
I only bought the single kimi ha boku wo suki ni naru just for this song. It is one of my favourites, but I assume not really loved by the group. Maybe it is even a cover song?

Definitely not a fan of groups going back to tiny venues simply because they have "significance". Astro Hall is the place of PASSPO's first one-man but still, it's too small!
There better at least be some YouTube video or DVD bonus features on an upcoming release of the live. At the very least, a Nico Nama, Line Live, or Ustream? A Single camera would be fine.

:?
Can't really say I saw that one coming.
-
A live recording of the Band version should be mandatory. But as it is Passpo, I have my doubts :D
@Rezar
Look at todays date ;) I don't take anything for granted until the date changes.

Based on that I liked the post you think I wasn't aware?
-
Every year I know there are going to be those stupid 4/1 jokes and I somehow never see it coming. :banghead:
-

No, it was meant as a general notice. Like Clem84 I tend to forget those stupid April Fool's jokes. Reading the newspapers that day is already annoying enough :smhid
-
Ahhh... I saw it when all the girls posted but I was aware of it already being the first there since there had already been many stupid things posted :banghead:
Although the moms do look kinda hot :panic:
-
Sorry... Slow Passpo news week.

You have seen the appeal to fans for making an advertisement for their free live on May 5th, by designing something with predetermined images, offered for download?
I tried some, but the copyright issue is too much of a problem. :lol:
-
Just saw that. It'll be interesting to see what the community comes up with... or not. :lol:
-
Saw PASSPO last night and got my (terrible) cheki with Morishi - what struck me the most was how "appealing" Aipon looked when she wasn't "on" (like when Puchic PASSPO performed).

You know I got a few pictures with semi celebrities in the past and I can tell you that every time I look at the picture afterwards I go :O "OMG I look terrible". lol I guess we never look quite as good as we want to in these things. The important thing is you got it.
How was the concert?

I could have told you this and I've never seen her in real life and probably never will :lol: . . .

^ I obviously know she's pretty, it was something beyond that - can't really find the right words!
-
^ I obviously know she's pretty, it was something beyond that - can't really find the right words!
One time I heard a K-Pop fan describe one of the idols after seeing her in real life as "prettier than HD". Is this kind of the sentiment that you're going for?
-
Nah was more her demeanor when she wasn't making an effort!

New PASSPO☆ single in July?

PASSPO☆’s New Song “Bachelorette wa Owaranai” will be Released on July 27th! (http://tokyogirlsupdate.com/passpo-bachelorette-wa-owaranai-20160488884.html)

Been raining in Tokyo most of today with continued rain forecasted for tomorrow too.
Aipon made a teruterubozu (talisman to stop the rain).
https://twitter.com/negishiai/status/729681197945659394 (https://twitter.com/negishiai/status/729681197945659394)
-
Yea, it is such a bad timing with the weather. They want to promote themselves with a free live and now I assume that hardly anyone will show up despite the hardcore fanbase.
-
Seems like the weather is going to be fine, so I hope it will be a success :)
Also something a bit random, but when talking to Morishi I noticed her skin looked so fresh, many idols have caked on makeup or bad skin - she must be very healthy (also she was tinier than I thought)
-
Was it better than HD resolution? :lol:
-
I hope my vision is better than HD so yes.
-
Well, Morishi does those blood transfusions and lives healthy in general. Okay, eating Fries and Beer is not that healthy, but she makes up for it with a lot of sports (running marathons f.e.). 8)
But in my opinion a lot of idols have good skin. Many though plaster their face a lot. It is hard to concentrate then to look them in the eye :lol:
-
Says that 1,500 people were there, not too bad considering it's a weekday and the rain.
http://idolscheduler.jp/news/detail/?p=53023
-
Morishi also drinks like 2L of water during every live as well. Being hydrated helps with clear skin.
The rain stopped for most of the live, coming back towards the end. That's probably why they came back so fast for the encore. They also had a handshake event at Tower Records at 9 and a free high-touch right after the live so that was probably another reason.
The new song is really good! It's not as cutesy as Honey Dish or Mr Wednesday, which I like.
-
What would you compare the new song to?
-
Some people are saying it's like Average Lavigne's stuff but I'm looking for a less disgusting comparison. The choreography is typical Natsumi-sensei (really cute and creative) and seems to be Aipon-centric. There's even a part where they make like a chorus line and kick up their feet like how Negicco does during "Attotekina Style" so I bet it's just a matter of time before we see the Passengers doing it with them.
I might have a better idea if I go see them again on Saturday since they're already starting release events for it. They'll be debuting their new outfits too!
-
I think new outfits would be welcome at this point, I'm already starting to get tired of the cheerleader outfits. Also I don't think they work well for Band PASSPO☆ either . . .
-
Since the new song is "Bachelorette wa Owaranai", could it be wedding themed? Either way, probably everyone but Nachu will probably be showing their abs whatever the outfits turn out to be.
I'm still kind of shocked that predia (same agency/label) finally chose a color other than red for their new outfits.
-
I don't like the constant changing of uniforms. I prefer it when a group decides on one dress and sticks with it (Bellring Girls Heart). Maybe even two or three which they exchange regularly (Chu-Z). A constant uniform helps by manifesting an identity and reduces complete messes (Babyraids).
-
Has there been any PASSPO☆ uniform so far that you feel like could have been the "one costume" they could have stuck with?
-
Difficult to say. I don't know the uniforms from their beginnings but as Passpo mostly used the same basic design, at least until 2015, my favourites were the ones the used on Check In abum, Next Flight or Step&Go. Bright colours combined with an stewardess dress (small resemblance). It fits the recent musical style the most imo.
Currently I like Annya's design but I wouldn't like to see it on every member.
If I had something to say, I would prefer something in the way of the Natsuzora Hanabi MV. Punkish clothes, more fitting to their musical style (back then).
But in general: As long as the music is good (and the girls nice to me :lol: ) I can't be bothered by something like uniforms 8)
-
The ones from Sakura Komachi were great, as were the white / red circles ones from Tracks. Also Hanabi.
Agree about the uniforms from Next Flight.
-
Yeah hopefully they go back to something that resembles a stewardess/flight attendant uniform . . .
-
They should wear what they wear in the "PASSPO in Okinawa" video, I'm sure at least tsutomo would agree :P
-

Some backstage from 5/10.
Looking at Takenaka Sensei's Twitter, it seems the inspiration for the choreo for "Bachelorette wa Owaranai" came from GPP and The Hangover! PASSPO in wolf shirts with satchels?
-
So the new PASSPO☆ uniforms are "bride" outfits? :roll:
(http://i.imgur.com/5TbHall.jpg)
-
looks more like bride maids to me.
It is not too bad, but too many frills for my taste n
-
looks like shit as usual!

I like the colourfulness (is that a word?). It really suits Yukki, Annya, Naomin and Morishi. Aipon I would have rather seen in a dress like Yukki's. Hers is just too wide. And Mio should wear something suiting her size once in a while. She looks like a child trying out her mother's dresses. Nothing to say about Nachu. I can not imagine any dress, that would suit her :P
But damn, we are talking designs again instead of music. :smhid
-
I just realized this, but are they all holding their mics like a normal person in these pics? I thought they held mics with their palms facing out or is this something they've never been consistent on?
-
I know what you mean. WING or WANTED for example has Morishi holding the mic differently. But no idea if this is part of the choreography or personal preference. In the beginnings of the group probably the first.
-

So when do the people who are unable to go to their lives get to hear the new song?
-
As usual they wait until it's released!

They only do that for some songs, it seems to be part of the choreography.

It's not just Morishi, they all do it.
----------
kinda unrelated so I'm just leaving this here...
I think this this song sounds a lot like a mix of PASSPO/Band Maid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObL8glWHvbA
-
:? ... :O
I guess it fits the bachelorette theme but, wow... Not what I expected.
-
3rd pic is from "7's up" hence the star lights in their other hands. Kind of pointless since you can't see the lights during the day.
Shame that Morishi and Aipon are more covered up since they seemed to have developed some good defined abs lately. Again Naomi with the weird curtain-like covering even though it's a 2-piece outfit for her.
Looks like this is what they'll be wearing for at least the next 2-3 months. I think I recalls seeing Baseball Girls wearing something similar a few months back.
-
I see what you did there, Rezar. and it's unfair since the pervert Passpo fan used to be qwiksXnd, not me. :P
I don't hate the new outfit, I'd even say it looks better than most of their recent ones. okay, the bar is set very low here but still... :P it just bugs me that it 1- it is a very "ordinary idol group outfit", like there are thousands of uniforms very similar to those and 2- it doesn't appear to relate to their flight attendants concept at all. well, a lot of things the group has done (as the already mentioned mic handling) recently don't, to be fair. but still seems weird to me. like they are a totally different group (concept wise) now. (from flight attendants to girls band) I guess that's their intention though so kudos to them. :huhuh
I still like Passpo but I'm kinda bored with the group as a whole. just as if I've already seen it all and even enjoyable songs as Mr Wednesday appear like a deja vu. the new song introducing the members for example, it's so 2010 you know... in the choreography they even go making some moves similar to Lyrical School in My Kawaii Nichijoutachi. and since I mentioned them, take that group and compare. the difference is abysmal, with all due respect. look at their most recent MV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g57fYTgVbDk
and see what is a group surprising people every step they take. passpo need new producers for yesterday!
-
They just need to not have mio make their outfits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74FomusU_cA
-
no kidding, with all respect to MioMio, but her drawing (most of the time) sucks and her outfit drawings/concepts/ideas/whatever suck even more. just handle the work to a professional in that area, plz.
oh man, good times. this group miss Macocchan and Sakotii so much...
-
I always thought letting Mio design the costumes was a way, like many other things, to shrink their operating budget. "A professional designer? No need. Mio can draw, let her do it. A actual band??? Are you kidding me? Girls, time to start practicing those instruments. Concerts posters/fliers? Let the fans design them. It's PERFECT!" :twisted:
-
I don't get your Band argument. Passpo has a band and the girls playing instruments was for most of them their own desire.
Whatever the results may be, I support the management decision to engage the members in production work. This helps the motivation and gives them experience for their future after the Idol life.

I was more or less joking. I don't disagree with your points. I just think it's convenient for the management. A "kill two birds with one stone" kind of thing.
-
I didn't want to go to TIF mainly because of the heat - BUT I have idol-withdrawal so I was playing with the thought of going, and now it was just announced that PASSPO/Silent Siren will have a 2-man on the 16'th of August so I guess I have to go!!!
-
I has holding on to the ever so slight hope that maybe Silent Siren would bring PASSPO☆ when they come here in July, but that was always a really, really unlikely possibility . . .
-
So, Rezar, you will attend the Two Man plus TIF?
In that case I expect an extensive review about both here ;)

Well IF I go, I will attend both - still need to wait to see how well my leg heals, but there is a lot of time so I'm pretty sure it will be fine.
(And ofc I need to be sure I can get a ticket for the 2-man)

Still no footage of the song for those who haven't seen it yet. Sorry.
-
^ someone put today's Platinum Showcase on YT, so here it is (warning: not on mobile devices, at least not on iPad)
@8:10 Seven's Up
@28:30 Bachelorette - it's a straightforward poprock song, not bad but also not terribly catchy, a nice album track imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3q9QOOQZQ8
ps. MV premiers June 10th
ps. Mio looks 12y old in that dress.
-
I can honestly say that I really like both songs. 7's Up is great fun despite the speak-sing, whereas Bachelorette is the classic PASSPO song pattern I like listening to. :heart:
-
^ agree, classic PASSPO was my impression as well, I like it a lot - 7's up is ok as well it will probably be better once you can hear the music better.
-
I like both songs too. :) Glad to see they stuck to the style of music I grew to love from them. Can't wait to see the video. The speaking in 7up is cute and funny. This is gonna be a great live song.
-
Well I liked it for the most part. Also they get bonus points for having "call me crazy" in the lyrics. XD
7's Up is alright. I'm not sure about the talk singing parts, but I feel like overall I like this better than the previous B side Musical Party.
-
I like their cover, they also sang this when I saw them last time

2nd Band PASSPO one-man to be held on Christmas Eve at Shinjuku BLAZE!
-
Damn, why such a date again? I hardly will be able to travel then because of work...
But finally a venue fitting the occasion.
-
Also, Puchipa's 2nd one-man on 9/4 at Mt. Rainier Hall with their 1st mini-album to go one sale 9/14. Their new outfits are like the Brazilian soccer team at Carnival b/c of the 2016 Rio Olympics to go with their new song "Ultra Samba".
Search #ぷちぱ初ワンマン for pics from the live.
-
I might not read this right but to me it seems like they only did half the songs as BAND PASSPO!!!
https://twitter.com/passpoyukimi/status/736596499799244800
-
I'm not good at reading handwritten Japanese but I think the notation means that those songs were done for the first time as Band PASSPO? Obviously, they never played Mr. Wednesday before, right?
-
^ Ah that would make sense.
-
Well, there was one tweet about the show lasting around 60 minutes. And I doubt it being much longer.
-
As they learn and practice more songs no doubt their band Passpo gigs will get longer.
If I had to choose between and all idol gig or all band one, I think I'd go with 70% idol 30% band. It's VERY cool seeing them play their instruments but the singing and dancing / idol part of Passpo is something I never want to see go away.
-
^ agree :)

http://news.dwango.jp/2016/05/29/91268/idol/
Apparently they wore the "Shiny Road" costumes for this, pretty good choice over the new one at least.
-
You mean Perfect Sky . . .
-
Makes me wonder if they consider that their BAND costume. If I am correct they always wore this for it.
Personally it is not my favourite. I like many of the current outfit.
-
You know they sell this costume on Amazon . . . http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Womens-Attendant-One-Size-Multicolored/dp/B014T0K8GM/ref=sr_1_7?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1464520464&sr=1-7&nodeID=7141123011
-
^ cool I'm getting one.... btw it's a porn star modeling it :lol:
You mean Perfect Sky . . .
:banghead: yeah
-
I'll settle for a shorter band PASSPO gig as long as everyone except Morishi and Nachu don't have their eyes stuck on their instruments. Yes they can play but, it's a big handicap since they can't be as engaged with the audience unlike a lot of girl bands, who practice enough to where they can move around and be a little silly/cool on stage. If it's only 1-2 times a year, they're not going to be practicing all the time anyway though.
Get Aipon a keytar so she can move to the front like how Yukarun from Silent Siren does.
-
I understand your reasonings but I still favour the Band Version. It bothers me quite a lot for not being able to attend it (so far).
But as their instrumental skills will probably never become that good to perform most of their songs, they should definitely continue as Idols as well ;)
-
At least Shinjuku BLAZE has a slightly higher level towards the back? It'll still be hard to see unless you're in the front or very tall.
Video for "Bachelorette" comes out tonight according to a tweet I saw last week.

She always did ;)
Especially like the First Class Version, where everyone looks drunk, lol.

I love it. I really like the guitars all throughout the song.
:twothumbs

On November 19 Passpo will hold a One Man Outdoor Live near Saitama. That is something different.
-
they'll hold an outdoor concert on my fucking city exactly on my off-day. isn't this cool? :roll:
I liked the covers. they look better than their usual ones. more "creative" I guess? and drunk Oppaipon is just :jerk: :jerk: :jerk:

I hope you will buy me a ticket for it as well ;)

YESSSSSS.... got me a ticket for the PASSPO/Silent Siren show :cow:
I've been listening to Silent Siren a lot in the last few months and I'm beginning to really like them. That will be an AWESOME gig.
The tickets for hachaketai's one man will go on sale this Saturday. Clubasia sounds... small-ish. I wonder how difficult those will be to get. I just found out today that they have their first single coming out at around that time! (concert)
Anyway, I'll be in Tokyo most likely from Sept. 15 to Oct. 4. Passpo is already listed on the @JAM website (hachaketai too), but this gig doesn't appear on their official website. Maybe it's just tentative at this point?
I really hope they will announce more dates in that time frame.
-
You should definitely attend one of the release events for the new single. They are scheduled before the concerts - and Morishi will loooove you if she sees you there ;) On 09.16 there is one at HMV&BOOKS TOKYO.
Otherwise around the time you are there, two japanese holidays will be then. So chances for shows with PASSPO/Hacchake Tai are highly likely. But it seems planings aren't that far yet, as Morishi just recently posted a schedule that lasts until August.
-
Shibuya Club Asia? It's a decent-sized place but it's a pain to get into because it's on the 5th floor of a building which is mostly a Book-Off so you'll be lined up in a stairway when you wait to get in or standing out in the street. There's a few big pillars right near the stage too so visibility is not so good either.
-
Isn't the ASIA the one next to the GLAD? Or is Club ASIA something different?
The ASIA I think of has this side entrance where you get into the bar area right away and a rather small stage in the back, for which you have to pass through two doors. In terms of access that club is easy to get to.
-
Sounds to me like mixedmedia is talking about club QUATTRO.

You know what I remember from last year? That their fall tour was announced, IIRC, at the end of August. So there's obviously lots of time for them to announce stuff.
-
Sounds to me like mixedmedia is talking about club QUATTRO.
Thanks for catching that! I had a cold over the weekend and I'm still in outer space. I think the closest I got to Club Asia might have been showing up to an Idol Koushien Premium live too late after all the tickets sold out.
I wouldn't worry about @JAM not being on the official site yet since updating that takes the longest compared to Twitter. That's probably why a lot of smaller groups don't even bother with a site and just use twitter or a blog?
On topic, I found this interesting blog that lists all the places used in videos and photoshoots. The location for "Bachelorette" is apparently a wedding chapel in Tachikawa.

http://blog.livedoor.jp/fumichen2/tag/PASSPO%E2%98%86 (http://blog.livedoor.jp/fumichen2/tag/PASSPO%E2%98%86)
Given the amount of detail involved for some of the entries of other groups, it's not surprising that the author of the blog is pretty adamant about people just taking the info without giving credit.
-
I swear I posted the following yesterday but it somehow disappeared!!!
Morishi wrote in the latest newsletter that the show in November would be the last PASSPO oneman - turns out she forgot to add "in 2016" - had me worried for a bit.
Still kinda bad news for me since that means I there won't be a oneman in December (but maybe there will be one early in January).
-
And luckily there is the BAND PASSPO One Man in December. That is equally nice.
Otherwise I am happy enough with lots of appearances in festivals, in whatever form.

Meanwhile, Omochu is 18. PuchiPa = deceptive loli group (in a good way?)
PASSPO got served pretty good at last night's 2-man with Fudanjuku since 80-90% of the fans were girls there for Fudanjuku. Normally, Aipon gets the most shouts but there was nobody! Nachu got some special treatment since it was her birthday though. Missed out on handshakes because it was over in less than 5 minutes while the Fudanjuku fans were clogging up the line to buy CDs and get handshake/cheki tickets.
Guess it makes sense since they finished the tour for the last single with 2 shows on Saturday the week before and were probably doing events all week. The passengers must be tired and low of money at this point. And yet, they're at Idol Takarakuji today and have another release event at Tokyo Dome City Garden Stage (the same place they showed off their "new" outfits) on Sunday.
-
Quite often I wonder why do idols bother, they work so much and I doubt they get much money from it.
-
I still get confused by the PASSPO fanbase. They could fill Tokyo Dome City Hall and even now after two major players have left the group, they perform successfully in bigger live houses. But Two Mans with other groups has their fans always in the minority. (Hacchake Tai with BiSH, Up Up Girls). Is there an explanation?
Just re-watched 7's Up and realised Yukki only has shortened vocal lines compared to the others. I just wanted to start venting my anger about it until I saw Annya having no solo lines at all. :lol:
Quite often I wonder why do idols bother, they work so much and I doubt they get much money from it.
Them getting positive attention from people (no matter their creepiness in parts XD ), standing on the stage in the spot light and being "popular" for often below than average talent? I can see the attraction to that. Especially if we talk about girls.
And I am soooo glad they don't bother about it. What would I do with my live otherwise? :lol:
-
PASSPO has been doing release events for Bachelorette since May and just finished a Osaka/Nagoya/Tokyo tour to promote it with 2 shows each time as well as more release events for the entire week it came out. Plus, kind of hard to get excited for another live when you anticipate more than half the audience to be rabid danso fangirls.
Also, any time a live/event starts at 6-7pm or earlier on a work day makes it more difficult for fans to get there.
I think they work/perform too much, especially after seeing Mio had both knees taped up pretty heavily recently.
A lot of it has to do with scheduling and how hardcore/free their fanbase is. Upga got pretty much blown out by BELLRING when they had a 2-man too. It was on a Tuesday and BLAZE was maybe 40% full? I think BELLRING has more fans who are students as opposed to Upga, who sway more towards working adults and then students?
With a ton of events always going on, DD fans can always be swayed to be somewhere else.
Even though idols are having longer careers and not all of them are immediately graduating once they hit 20, even the ones that aren't major probably get a lot of benefits they wouldn't have if they stayed "normal".
Watching the Idol Summit show from New Year's Day, I think Anya said one of the ways they get paid is on how many handshakes/cheki they sell? She's got a pretty decent amount saved up for a down payment on a house it seems.
Looks like they're having another talk show (with all members) at 2.5D studio Monday night too. So that means they've gone more than a week without a day off? Realizing how busy idols are and how many people they must meet daily, I don't even expect any of them to remember me, especially when I'm not one of those fans who go to most of their events.
-
Thanks for the input. Haven't thought of some of the reasons you mentioned. :thumbup
And now I know, why MioMio always wears this ridiculous long dresses - to hide her knees :lol:
-
So Passpo only sold less than 10,000 copies of their recent single? That's shockingly low. :shocked
-
:( It hasn't been a week. Maybe sales will pick up. Both songs are great.
-
I thought my interest in PASSPO was dropping a bit but no, I think I saw most of their performances at TIF, and they were just awesome :cow:
-
On the flip side, it feels like out of the people I know or talk to that's into Japanese music/idols I'm the only one that knows or is really into PASSPO☆
-
So word on the street is that PASSPO debuted a new song at their live yesterday and a member of Silent Siren helped write it?
-
Seems like it. Rezar could have told more about it, if...
:P
-
Man, silent siren should do a single / music video together with Passpo, that'd be too awesome.
seems like they already quite close to each other these days...why not go all the way ? :P
-
It's kind of an unlikely collaboration between the two isn't it? Passpo enjoys a modest popularity these days. Their liquid room flight attracted over a 1000 people but it seems to be the execption. Whereas Silent Siren filled the Budokan not too long ago. Although, I don't know if that represents the norm for SS. I don't follow them that closely.
I think it's awesome but yeah, just an unlikely thing to happen. It's great exposure for Passpo though. I guess they do share a similar sound, so both crowds will find something to love in the other group.
-
Check out this blog for infos on Silent Siren lives. ;)
http://passpogasm.wordpress.com/
What Liquid Room flight you mean? I kind of forgot :lol:
-
Back in March of this year I think?
-
Suu from Silent Siren already helped write a song for Palet and I'd like to think Palet has less fans than PASSPO☆. Also wasn't Palet supposed to be added to PASSPO☆ or be replacement PASSPO☆ originally (only mentioning this because if they can have Silent Siren make them a song, Silent Siren making a song for PASSPO☆ shouldn't be so far fetched)? But the fact both Silent Siren and PASSPO☆ are part of Platinum Productions to some extent makes the collaboration not weird to me.
Here is a clip of the song Suu did for Palet I found on Youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RNG9jw-2H0
Also let us not forget that Yukarun from Silent Siren (Keyboard) was made a member of PASSPO☆ during TIF last year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nx56rIIXhE
-
PASSPO just started a 25 hour live webcast. No idea how to watch it since it's Sky Perfect. There's a Nico version to but it asks me to pay another 540 yen for a ticket when I'm already a premium member. Seems Morishi was challenging Naosuke to an eating contest a few minutes ago.
-
Same here. I can not even open the one link they provide because of region block. Something with oak in the webadress.
-
This is one of the things I hate about Japanese media. They have so many different options and their policies/pay structures are all different. Plus, it seems like idols have a mission to be on every one of them at the same time!
YouTube, SHOWROOM, Nico Nama, Abema, LoGirl, Tweetcast, Ustream, Kawaiian TV...what else is there? Not even sure which ones are region locked either.
Guess the tickets went to paying for all the different idols to appear? Looks like members from Doll Elements, Upga, predia, palet, PuchiPa, Through Skills, Idol Renaissance, NijiCon, Nama Udon, 3min, and Galette showed up last night.
Decided to binge watch Stranger Things instead.

I just now discovered that Sako is about to release a photobook (with pics taken BY her, not OF her) through a crowdfunding project. link here https://greenfunding.jp/lab/projects/1620
will people here participate to help the former member or are you guys too involved with the actual members and already forgot of her existence? :P
they already reached their minimum goal, so no worries about the photobook not being released. the time limit is the end of this month. I think I'll participate to get a signed copy of this shit personally from her. who knows, maybe she still remembers me?! :lol:
-
I'd love to. Tried it, but address is difficult. And when I confirmed my payment I received no confirmation of payment, so probably it didn't work (???).
-
3000y gets you the book + a "thank you" message, I think.
6000y gets you some kind of photo gift
30000y I think you can attend some kind of reception party with her. The book release party I think.
the 200000y ( <--OMG! ) are all gone apparently. :O
Too bad my Japanese sucks. And I'm also not that rich. And I also won't be in Japan at that time.
I kinda want to contribute to this but I'm not sold on the content of that book.
-
will people here participate to help the former member or are you guys too involved with the actual members and already forgot of her existence? :P
She was my second favorite member, but I won't be getting this.

Clem, what about your trip? Which shows are planned?

Clem, what about your trip? Which shows are planned?
So far, the HMV release event on the 16th, hatchaketai one man on the 17th, the 2 concerts on the 18th (I don't remember where they are lol), and jam expo the following weekend. After that I'll probably have my passpo fix for a while. A few other concerts are planned and the rest of the time I'll probably see as I go.
I'm curious about the release event. I've never been to one of those. I'm thinking a small performance and maybe a signing? I'm also really looking forward to the hatchaketai live. I'm not even sure how the setlist differs from regular Passpo gigs. More hatchaketai songs obviously. I thought about looking it up but I'd rather be surprised. It should be fun.
-
Release events are usually a 20-30 minute live (obviously skewed towards the songs on whatever they're releasing) and group/individual handshake (1 CD) and/or cheki (multiple CDs). Did they mention a signing?
3rd one-man on the 17th? Completely did not know about that! Looks like since it's in the afternoon, I can go see them before I go to Liquidroom in the evening to see what a beardless LADYBABY will be like.

Nah, just speculation on my part.

I feel the same. I'll probably go see something else that evening.
-
They probably do the whole array of events: Group Shots and Group Handshakes, the individuals and signs. At least that is what they offer usually. Luckily you don't have to pre-order the CDs as they are already released. I hate filling out this forms with Japanese address and everything.
Mixedmedia, what happened to you not being up to date? :P
-
wattstax, I think something shorted out after TIF because it was so hot? Plus, there are a lot of other groups that are more interesting to me at the moment? I really like PASSPO but I feel that sometimes they work so hard and they only go forward a little. At the very least, it seems like Crown is spending money to promote them now?
http://youtu.be/rzbE0NNz7uw
Good call on putting Morishi in this group! She shows her vocal range isn't limited to destroying everything with her power.
Seeing Naomin get emotional during the Tokyo show of the Bachelorette tour made me wonder if there are some things going on behind the scenes which will come out if the Saitama flight isn't a success. It was a shame that Yoyogi was hindered by the rainy weather.
-
Tsutomo of this forum is of the opinion that Naomin is the next member to leave the group. He predicts that for 2 years now though :roll: Me on the other hand have no idea about what is going on. Proven by the fact that I knew nothing about Naomin's emotional attack.
I share your opinion, that the group gets to little reward for everything they try, be it the huge effort for the Bachelorette single (7 day street promo, Shibuya LED), which failed commercially. (I regard it as positive continuation of good recent releases.) Or the 25 hour live show on Nico Nico(?) few days ago.
Hopefully the weather for Tokorozawa Koen Live will be pleasant. The girls need something positive. Btw I heard it will also feature a BAND PASSPO set. Will it feature the Ground Crew as well?
-
Naomin basically said something like, "If Saitama isn't a success, we might not be able to keep going/get bigger". If they go down to 6, they might have to get their first new members or have puchipa join them?
Even though I have Nico Nama premium, I rarely watch it so I was really annoyed that I needed to pay again to watch the round the clock live stream. I have no idea how Kawaiian TV (which was the other option) works either.
Why not keep it simple like Showroom does? Available all over the world, free to watch everything, spend/waste money if you want to try get noticed by idols.
Live is nice but, these sites need an archive option as well.
-
I think PASSPO is at the max level they can get with the kind of music they play and the appeal they have, and I don't even think they are in a bad place.
I think they could maintain their current level with less effort, I do think they are putting in too much effort right now, maybe allow the members to do their own thing like acting and whatnot.
--
After listening to that @JAM colab song I realized that it's basically a partly rip-off of TRACKS, but I guess it's probably the same composer.
-
the problem is that unlike other groups, where the girls are happy to be idols and continue like that, in Passpo you have a bunch of girls who see the idol thing as a path or stage only, wanting to be something else. in this aspect, I think we could compare Passpo to AKB48. that`s why Passpo puts so much pressure on achievements, sales, new stuff, more involvement of the girls in production, etc. I don`t need to link here that old video where MioMio says she doesn`t like "being an idol", do I?
-
Pretty much all idols aspire to be actresses or artists, only a few are happy to be just idols.
I guess I should say, idols with any talent - obviously there are those that are happy to be idols instead of working at a burger joint.
-
After listening to that @JAM colab song I realized that it's basically a partly rip-off of TRACKS, but I guess it's probably the same composer.
The original version of @Jam theme (written by Hyadian) is from aug. 2014, so 3 months before Tracks was released. This is version #3.

Surprised this hasn't been posted. Info on next single.
Well that article is from today, I hadn't checked twitter and stuff yet ;)
-
Lovely news. Hopefully there will be many release events. :)
Must re-adjust my budget then :D
-
The outfits will be the members as their favorite action stars. Unfortunately, this means Morishi is John McLane from Die Hard again?
Or maybe b/c the songs are from female/male perspectives, PASSPO danso?
It's PASSPO, which means there might be too many release events?
-
I'm kind of out of the loop because of this secret project I got assigned to help work on, but a Hachake Tai single came out? Was this even promoted? Also I'm curious to see what "action stars" end up being used.
-
It was announced already early this year and they performed the song during the last One Man already (March?). The dates for release events were also announced a few months ago already. (I contemplated on going there.)
-
I'm totally not serious about the action star outfits. Just a random excuse to remind everyone about when Morishi was John McClane b/c it's so silly.
Hacchake-tai have been promoting their single for a while and their 3rd one-man is happening this Saturday (September 17th) afternoon at Shibuya club asia, which is maybe the same size as the previous places?
-
I'm totally not serious about the action star outfits. Just a random excuse to remind everyone about when Morishi was John McClane b/c it's so silly.
Oh thank god, it looked ridiculous.
-
Club Asia is maybe 300 people? It is a stupidly small venue.
-
Maybe I'm too used to promoted songs having music videos to which there is none for this . . .
-
On oct. 10 a public debate concerning the future of the group (http://passpo.jp/kiji/3792/?) will be held, including band situation.
Big crisis? Not moving forward anymore for a long time now, declining sales figures, unrest among members...
I wonder what the options are.
-
I think it's probably them not moving forward that is the issue, as I said previously I don't think it's possible for them with their concept.
And they are all at the age that they are probably looking at other things to do.
Maybe it wasn't a typo when Morishi said the November one-man would be the last PASSPO one-man (she corrected it to "in 2016 later").
-
They've been around almost 7 years so they don't have the "fresh" factor going for them.
They don't have dozens of members like a 48/46 group which would help them fill a big arena even if they lip-synced.
They're not completely metal like BABYMETAL so they can't ride that wave (not that anyone smaller than BABYMETAL attempted to do Tokyo Dome anyway).
They're not super active/captivating on social media like some other groups who are less talented.
While I do like them, they have a lot going against them. Regardless, they're definitely a solid 2nd-3rd tier idol group.
-
I don't interprete so much negativity into this announcement. I am more intrigued on why they hold an official and public meeting about it. This would appear rather unique to me. As much as I can tell from the notice, one of the main points is the the question, if they should increase performances as BAND. This would have an effect on the idol unit PASSPO, maybe even disbandment, but not neccessarily. It was always my opinion that most of the members like the "evolution" into a band. I think it was Morishi who said that.
I stay calm. Announcements by PASSPO often seemed more than what they actually became. And if it comes to the worst case scenario, I am happy to be around for their last shows. Otherwise that is the reality of idol. Like Annya once said: Idols don't stay for eternity. Sad, but nothing to get too emotional about.
-

seconded.
note that it is scheduled to last less than one hour, so can`t be a REAL meeting with intense discussions. I`d guess on the pool about the band formation too. they may want to decide whether increase or decrease the use of the concept, so are now wanting to know the opinion of everyone specially fans. they could of course make this a simple online survey, but maybe they think this 'more intimate' pool looks cooler? plus they can charge an entrance fee and get some more money too. rofl
-
I'd be very surprised if they held a public meeting, charged entrance fees, to... what, annouce something negative? I'm leaning more toward this being simply a way to get fan feedback to know in which direction they want the group's many activities to go. I'll give them points for originality though. In my, admitedly limited, experience with the idol scene I don't remember seeing this.
They probably do the whole array of events: Group Shots and Group Handshakes, the individuals and signs...
Turns out you and mixedmedia were both kinda right. Here's how it went down. Group handshake, group photo, individual handshake/cheki, and finally group photo but by themselves, not with fans. No signing but, you know, who cares? :) It cost me 3 of those singles but I finally got my cheki. Happy! :twothumbs
-
As most of you know already by reading yout tweets, Makochan made a surprise appearance during the encore of today's hachaketai one man. At the beginning of the show each member came out with an egg-shaped piece of cardboard and then "cracked" the egg to reveal themselves. Makochan did the same, we just didn't know it was her. Huge surprise. For a moment there I was secretly hoping she'd come back in the idol world as a fifth member of hachaketai... Obviously that didn't happen. She stayed for the encore to support the other 4 and to cheer the crowd. Very cool moment.
BTW hachaketai lives are fun. They played all the songs usually performed by them and a few Passpo songs that sounded to me like they were 'remixed'? Sometimes it took me a few seconds to recognize them. They sounded a little different. The best song they play at these lives is always saiko saiko. It was the most fun at the release event yesterday and at today's concert. The crowd interaction during that song is crazy.
Oh the two new songs from the single. I wasn't expecting much but they're pretty decent. They remind me of their other songs... A pretty energetic tempo and plenty of attitude. The second one, Matsuri something... I like it.
-
I like how the fans will let whoever go right to the front when their favorite member is singing at Hacchake-tai lives. I've also seen fans do it at Upga shows too. I feel like the remixes are more like old '90's avex technopop/Eurobeat style because that's sort of their thing?
I feel like Nachu really shines with Hacchake-tai b/c of her "dame ningen" character and it seems to have spilled over to PASSPO too? Naomin also has a decent following in Hacchake-tai even if I think she's the least popular in PASSPO now.
So much Yukkii butt slapping recently too!
-
Since popularity has been a subject recently, I was wondering is Palet a thing these days? - their singles are pretty consistently in the top 10 weekly charts, PASSPO's last single was only 21st.
-
palet has definitely seen better days with 4 members graduating and their contract with Nippon Columbia ending in 2015. As long as Yui, Riona, and Mayu are around, I still have reasons to not completely lose interest for now.
I'm thinking that palet has been pretty lucky with the timing of their releases? I feel pretty bad for Cheeky Parade only making it to 17th when palet made it to 9th with almost twice as many CDs sold. SMH at people buying a SMAP single from over 10 years ago after they announced they were disbanding.
Even with Mayu having left 3min, Sakoti still seems to be helping them with their choreo.
-
I guess part of Palets salesl comes from them making songs for animes or tv-shows, those things can make even non-fans buy a CD.
Ok enough off-topic, was just curios ;)

Love refrain radio rip (with lots of talking so we can only hear half of it)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4v3h8e_passpo-%E3%83%A9%E3%83%96%E3%83%AA%E3%83%95%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3-radio-rip_music
I assume the chipmunk singing the 1st verse is from SS. Anyway, very lighthearted poppy stuff. Melody sounds way too familiar.
@Jam Band set

It's a live set without the overdubs of a DVD release (there's a tape running in the back, but still) so we can hear if our girls made some progress over the last year and a half. Unfortunately still a lot of obvious mistakes.
(sorry for the links, just copy-paste)
-
You beat me on posting a BAND PASSPO clip. :lol: Thank you though for the full version! I am all fired up now for their next One Man as a Band.
At least I can provided the Wanted! cut on Youtube ;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGIntqbRjyA
Interesting to see the changes in songs to adjust them to the instrumental skills, like the guitar solo in Shoujo Hikou.
Otherwise pretty critical, aren't you? For a group only learning instruments for like 2 years(?) it is pretty impressive. And I rather have a rough sound than a polished version (Shiny Road on the New Years Live still bugs me with them omitting a failure). Annya does a great battery, Naomi is good enough already on leads for having changed to it not too long ago. And Yukki looks just cool in her posture 8)2
-
^^ Wow, I didn't expect the song to actually sound like Silent Siren - aside from the group singing (which is very PASSPO'ish). If I didn't know I wouldn't have been been able to tell it was PASSPO - but since I like both groups it doesn't bother me much.
Maybe some of SaiSai's success will rub off on PASSPO (I assume that's the whole idea here).
-
This is part of why I want Silent Siren to do well in America, maybe Platinum Production will send PASSPO☆ in the future.
-
Otherwise pretty critical, aren't you?
Yes, we may already like it at the level they're on now, but in order to get beyond the novelty act level they still need to improve.
Mio's playing for approx. 4 years now and Anna for 5+ years if I'm correct, and it shows imo.
https://twitter.com/idolrenaissance/status/782450570762199040
So there's yet another Tracks/@Jam theme clone. :? And Shiori sings the chorus again. :O
Good for her she didn't mix up the almost identical melodies. :)
ps. it's Kana-boon's Silhouette (from nov. 2014)
-
I was there. I was certain they had simply performed the @jam theme. :) It sounded pretty similar.
-
Would be great if silent siren could make a cameo apperance on the new Passpo pvs also...lol.
:shocked:
-

Guess Mio don't like her own legs much!!!
-
Did anyone watch that press conference thing? I tried to, but since I don't understand Japanese I have no idea what they talked about.
-
Watched the Showroom Live with the discussion right now. Of course I didn't understood a thing. There were a lot of talks about BAND PASSPO (as expected) and some questions about tokutenkai and former members. I hope it was not meant in the way of "why they don't take up new members" kinda thing. I am strongly against that in the context of the groups history.
Anyways, the girls seemed serious, especially Anna has held an emotional speech, saying something about seriously continuing with the group, with the Band, as seven members, and that they consider their passengers as very important. In the end she was fighting her tears.
(Nevertheless seeing idols I only know with cheerful attitude being involved in serious discussions makes me always uncomfortable. They then act so different that I fear of them to break up immediately :lol: )
-
So was like anything actually announced or was this just another mcguffin?
-
There was nothing announced as this wasn't the intention at all. The reason they held the event was to engage in a discussion with their fans on their thoughts on the groups future. That is why fans could also wrote letters of opinion before the show.
-
Ok then why was everyone here going into "oh s*** they're going to disband mode?" when this event was announced?
-
Whiny Fanboys? :lol:
jk
The lack of Japanese language skills and the name of the public meeting, something like "The future of the group", made some people assume the worst maybe?
-
If everything was peachy there wouldn't be a reason for such an event.
Their goals, as stated in the beginning of the presentation; getting famous, defined as reaching Budoukan and getting more tv exposure, are further away than ever imo.
So after a summary of all their former marketing related activities they came up with some future plans to attract a new fanbase.
Focal points are the band (including the release of a band single) and getting more female fans (iow softening up).
So in a way we are heading towards a Silent Siren II, from what I understood.
By the way, before the start of the meeting the new single premiered, it sounded like a christmas song to me, jingle bells if I'm not mistaken. :?
[Edit:] Yep, Jingle bells Jingle bells Jingle all the f*ing way. :doh:
So now it's time for some fun, provided by the Hacchake tai!!! :twothumbs

!!! wow That hachaketai video is a week old. I had no idea.
edit: I thought it was an official video at first. Turns out it's not.

Same opinion here. The loss of Makoto and Sako was crucial. I doubt they will ever reach the state again to fill a venue like TDCH.

Hmm, Silent Siren aren't bad, but PASSPO definitely stands for a different kind of music. And to reach enough skills for instruments and song-writing? So an attempt to copy them wouldn't be successful regarding female fans. At the same time becoming softer will probably turn away the males. A similiar vicious circle over again.
Nevertheless focusing more on the BAND is something I 100% agree upon! :thumbup
I got the feeling watching that very emotional performance of "I" that these girls might know the end is near. Maybe I'm just imagining things.
I had the same assumption while listening to Ai's speech at the end of the TDCH concert. So let's stay positive ;)

This is a good point.
I dont know why, but i dont really like this new "band passpo" thingy. sure it looks cool for them to be able to play their own instrument and stuffs, but i do miss the old passpo back then much more.
While their newer song is good (mr. wednesday, bachelorette, etc), but i feel that i can't really chant at all during those songs, lol. I remember during TIF2014 and TIF2015 when they sing "Natsuzora hanabi" at smile garden -- i really had fun there, and boy the crowds is really crazy that time. This year TIF2016 during passpo, the crowd is really tame, lol. Quite weird feeling for me actually.
Oh,and is it just me or the passpo new outfit looks like Palet's "Love 'n Roll" outift LOL.
(http://net7.pw/palet.jpg)
So now it's time for some fun, provided by the Hacchake tai!!! :twothumbs
Haccheketai is really fun indeed :twothumbs:
IMO, i think its more fun to see "haccheketai" than "Passpo Band" these days, but maybe it's just me :?

Everyones opinion is wrong :)

IMO, i think its more fun to see "haccheketai" than "Passpo Band" these days, but maybe it's just me :?
I understand your opinion here, as you consider the idol audience participation as very important. Hacchake Tai focuses on that. It is actually the point of this unit. But for someone like me, who dislikes the early phase and songs like Shoujo Hikou or Pretty Lie, but instead prefers a song like Tap my toe, I consider the BAND a better alternative for me. It also makes me kind of happy to see these girls improve in that way. But same as you said: That is just me.
PASSPO + Ground Crew is still the best imo - much more and better rock songs from their output to be able to be performed!
Everyones opinion is wrong :)
There is never a right or wrong in terms of taste ;)

This one i agree. The ground crew + passpo is so awesome.
Actually i just bought that live DVD recently (the 2015 flight dvd with Makochan graduating), cuz nobody ripped it so i just gave up waiting for free downloads and purchased it lol. And the segment with the Ground crew halfway through the concert is really good! Like someone said here before though -- dont think they can ever fill a venue like TDCH anymore...sadly. I really wish to see Passpo to perform like this again. :(

I think one of the few reason why i like hattchaketai (besides the point you just mentioned) is that they often sing Passpo older songs, like "Natsuzora Dash" for example...that is just..wow!! They almost never perform that song anymore (the original passpo that is) . Also, their version of Vivi Natsu is awesome as well.
I actually only saw hattchaketai twice (during Idol Koushien last year and TIF2016 this year) but everytime i see them i really enjoyed their performance -- even though i dont really like those 4 members. Well maybe except Morishi. She really takes the group to another level. :)

In case it wasn't obvious I was kidding.
And I definitely agree on PASSPO+Ground Crew is the best setup.
-
If they're going to be Silent Siren II, can they come to San Francisco too? XD Although in all serious even I am doubtful they can reach that kind of a status in terms of popularity :roll: . . .
Yeah, I agree I'm kind of completely indifferent to the whole band thing and think Ground Crew > Band PASSPO☆.
Well since Mio also designed those Palet outfits, I guess this would just be an example of her running out of ideas. :lol:
-
Is this official?

I thought it was official at first. It looks fan made.
-
Yeah it's just random clips put together.

On one hand, it took Perfume like 7 years to break though with "Polyrhythm" but, it seems like most groups that have been around a while haven't been as fortunate.
SG did their 6th year live at Shinjuku BLAZE (capacity maybe 800). lyrical school's 6th was with 3 other groups and still didn't sell out.
Then again, all 3 of those groups had big changes with popular members leaving in 2015-2016 also.
-
^ I saw SG at Shinjuku Blaze at a "normal" concert and it was almost full so it seems a bit odd to not be a bigger venue for an anniversary concert.
-
Their 3rd year(?) anniversary show was in TDCH. So a big drop in audience. It seems the management doesn't reckon with much more people as well. Haven't followed the group much since then, though.
To stay on topic, Passpo certainly filled TDCH becausr of it being Makoto's graduation. I doubt the anniversary alone would have been enough to gather that amount of people.
-
SG's actually performed at Budokan in 2013.
-
I don`t mind some songs or a few full shows once in a while with them playing instruments as a band. that`s actually cool. but they are primarily an idol group. so if they try to emulate Silent Siren/Scandal/etc too much, I`ll have to kiss them goodbye.
Passpo has some nice rockish songs, but I`m with infzer0, their idolish songs from early on are better and funnier. Material Girl, Let It Go, La La Love Train, Pretty Lie... over the top, imo.
oh and too bad they are having to reuse Palet`s uniforms. well, I guess it could be worse... they could have to perform naked due to lack of money. .... .... hey, thinking about it, this could actually be a great idea to make them more popular. Oppaipon`s breasts alone would be capable of fulfilling all Tokyo Dome seats in seconds! :w00t: (producers, take note!)

Gimme gimme jingle bells radio rip:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4x4ces_passpo-%E3%82%AE%E3%83%9F%E3%82%AE%E3%83%9Faction-radio-rip_music
Ha, just figured out the new musical direction after listening to the new single -
as Naomi neither Yukimi can or will ever be able to play a decent guitar solo Aipon's gonna take that role on the organ.
She plays the piano since early childhood so she must be capable to fill in that role (this could even be a demand by Ai herself in order to stay in the limelight when in band mode).
So they're going to conquer the world as the cutest 70's progrockers on earth. Groovy!
-
^ wow
i dont usually like xmas related songs, but this actually not bad lol. is this the song that silent siren wrote for them ?
I don`t mind some songs or a few full shows once in a while with them playing instruments as a band. that`s actually cool. but they are primarily an idol group. so if they try to emulate Silent Siren/Scandal/etc too much, I`ll have to kiss them goodbye.
I do agree if they become too similar to silent siren and starting to abandon their "idol" aspect...damn..i'd hate to see that happen. I hope not !
I always thought they playing instrument during the 'Perfect Sky' single is a one-off thing, but they keep doing it until now, and even become "band passpo". Dont get me wrong though, it's still kinda cool to see Annya playing drums etc etc,but i prefer the "idol" passpo much much better with all the energetic dances and loud mix/chants from the wota fans instead of just standing there watching. For the instruments, they should just let the ground crew to do their work instead :roll:
As for Oppaipon breast talk...
They maybe need to do more gravure.... remember the passpo-no-po gravure dvd back then ? (i have the whole set). We need more/something like that again! yep, gravure shot.... the whole group..not just aipon. :lol:
(...oh right they focusing to be the band, so we can scrape that idea i guess)
-
This is not the Silent Siren song, also I too am not a fan of Christmas songs (I used to work at an electronic store where this kind of s*** got played to death during the holiday) and am glad that this song isn't too Christmas like . . .
Now this is the Silent Siren one . . .

I just noticed that JeJeJeJet!! is now listed as out of print on CD Japan. Should I be worried? (I never got around to buying any of the albums before Tracks)
-
Doubt it will hard to get, amazon still has it and if nothing else you could buy it used.
-
You're talking to the guy that's still trying to figure out if Silent Siren's first album is worth paying almost $200 for new on Amazon . . . this is part of where the fear comes from.
-
Hmmm, then you are probably going to be mad at me for winning this auction for 8,500 yen sometime last year

Can you have the stuff you win on Yahoo auctions delivered outside of Japan? Or do you use something like Tenso?
-
Isn't that used? I prefer to buy new when possible . . .
-
^ Yes they are used but, they are as new (with extras).
^^ Yes "buyee" is a proxy bidder owned by Tenso - if you have a tenso account it will also work at buyee.

passpo performance at babyraids emotional idorock festival last week 07.10.2016
(tracklist: mudai, pretty lie, then change to Band passpo - wanted, candy room and shoujo hikou)
Pretty lie is a song I never thought much of until recently. After seeing it a few times along with the crowd interaction, it is now one of my favorite live songs from them.
I just noticed that JeJeJeJet!! is now listed as out of print on CD Japan. Should I be worried? (I never got around to buying any of the albums before Tracks)
I don't see Any of Passpo's albums ever getting near the 200$ range but my advice would be to not wait too long if you want their earlier albums. TAKE☆OFF 2010 (https://www.amazon.co.jp/TAKE%E2%98%86OFF-%E3%81%B1%E3%81%99%E3%81%BD%E2%98%86/dp/B004BIKWXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476540968&sr=8-1&keywords=passpo+take+off) is 6900y new. If you're not picky about the condition and just want to have it in your collection, you can get it used for around 2000y.
While we're on the subject of rare merchandise, I came across something on my last trip I didn't know existed. I met this guy at the Kashiwa Palooza gig on sept. 18. He was from France and it turns out he's an even bigger Passpo fan than I am. He told me he discovered them in 2011 when they went to Paris' Japan expo, which was news to me. I was under the impression they had never left Japan. Anyway, after the concert he showed me this used merchandise store in Akihabara called Mulan. Awesome place. Probably my go to place from now on for idol related music goods. He told me in Passpo's earlier days, many of their singles came out in 10 different editions. One per member. There were also sold in some sort of package that included all the different versions. These boxes are somewhat rare nowadays. He told me he was in the process of tracking down every edition of every single for his collection and that he was, IIRC, 75% of the way through. :O He also told me he was collecting signed stuff. I don't think I would do this personally. I'm fine with having their albums and their latest singles.
While in Mulan, I came across this thing. I don't know if I would call this rare but I've never seen it anywhere online. It's basically some kind of box set for their first three DVD releases. It was around 7500y. This was what I would personally consider to be pricy, but, it was cheaper than buying all three DVDs separately and it included a special box, along with a small photo book. I couldn't really pass this up. :D

^ I bought that one as well (used).
Those boxed cd's I bought a couple of as well, and I have that one single in 10 different versions, all of them were pretty cheap.
-
I think I would be fine with buying used if I knew how to determine what's ok to buy . . .
-
I have them on PC, lol
And Take Off I bought officially at the Passpo Merchandise Table during TIF 2014, but only because it gave me handshake tickets.
Since then it is gathering dust like all my other CDs.
-
I think I would be fine with buying used if I knew how to determine what's ok to buy . . .
In general Japanese take good care of their stuff, usually it says what condition it is in and they are usually very honest, most of what I bought has been as new.
-
i think i have all passpo live dvds from the first one (the 2011's to the latest) --- except the Shibuya kokaido flight one...Haha.
maybe i should buy that to complete my collection, lol.

I bought that dvd one by one when it came out 3 years ago in 2013. It cost 13.500 yen for all of them (and it comes with 3 free poster - all the same looking one though). 7500 yen for that boxset is quite cheap ! almost half the price --- so good buy :)

Pretty lie is a song I never thought much of until recently. After seeing it a few times along with the crowd interaction, it is now one of my favorite live songs from them.
It's one of my favorite song cuz of "Annya!!!'s" member calls in the beginning of the song lol.
Btw, to my dissapontment, the 2015 flight dvd (the makkochan graduation concert) never includes "pretty lie" performance....Seems weird to mee since they have almost every songs in that live dvd -- except that... dunno what happened lol :?
-
In general Japanese take good care of their stuff, usually it says what condition it is in and they are usually very honest, most of what I bought has been as new.
I think my problem is wanting to know a slightly more detailed condition description (like what's included or missing). Amazon generally tends to just list conditions as either like new, very good, good, acceptable, etc and sometimes the seller will list a general description of the items they sell.
-
Usually they specify if extras like pictures are included, even Amazon sellers do that most of the time.
-
I can't read Japanese and Google translate does a poor job at translating. Unless am I looking in the wrong place for this information?

Yukkii looking pretty hot in that Canadian tuxedo there but Aipon takes the cake with her nerdy gamer outfit for sure.
Anya and Mio killing the rhythm section in "Love Refrain"!
-
Just saw both of the new songs.
Song wise, i think i prefer Gimme Gimme Action better than Love Refrain, which is a shame cuz i'm really into Silent Siren lately after they come over to my country for the world tour, so i'm kinda excited after hearing Suu-chan gonna write a song for passpo. Turns out to be so-so only though. But it DOES sounds like Silent Siren song :lol: Well...maybe it'll grew into me eventually.
As for the Gimme Gimme action PVs....lol @ morishi as the Daddy.
But i wonder why Nachu gets to be the pet dog. LOL :lol:
-
Man I really felt some strong second hand embarrassment after watching the music video for Gimme Gimme Action. Although does it really surprise me that Nachu ended up being the dog and Mio the baby? :roll:
-
The singles covers and 2 new videos this morning. Life is good. :cow:

I prefer Gimme action too. It has the proper Rock sound we've come to know from Passpo. But I actually really like Love refrain too. It sounds different. Different is good. I hope there will be more colabs with SS in the future.
I LOLed when I saw Natchu as the dog. Also, Naomi making a move on Aippon. The making of that video must've been really funny.
-
so which is it? gimme gimme action or give me give me action?
(https://s10.postimg.org/47pth4at5/cvbcv.jpg)
-
Well since Gimme Gimme Action is a another Kentaro production, of course it has the "proper rock sound" we're used to from them. Although as for Love Refrain, I'm kind of glad it's not like the song SaiSai did for Palet (as it's basically just a Silent Siren song sung by someone else). This one is a bit different to a usual Silent Siren song and kind of works for PASSPO☆.
Also thanks to the internet, now I can't unsee Naomi as John Stamos :lol: . . . oh and for that matter, is it me or does Morishi kind of look like that on Vietnamese singer guy (I don't know his name)? Oh and as for the give me, gimme question. It might be just a case of bad translations or a typo or something . . .
-
Maybe I need to screencap Naomin and put her next to a pic of Uncle Jesse? "Have mercy!"
As for the title, those kind of easily avoidable mistakes happen way too often in Japan. Example: why is GEM's song "We're GEM" but they sing "We are GEM"?
-
morishi is kogoro mouri?

These are boxes. I remember having read about it (was it Ameblo?). In the past the box sets were only available through the official Universal store. As they changed label, no idea. It could also be "just" the reward for the Poster Search Event they currently doing.
-
For those interested, this is where you get them.
http://7net.omni7.jp/general/004101/161111passpo
Each member has two different box sets. I'm guessing they're the same box sets for every member, it's just the content that is different. They apparently include some kind of voucher for an activity with your favorite member. 5800y each... ouch. As big a fan as I am, I'm not sure I'll plunk down the money for this.
Apparently the pre-order period ends in 2-3 days, not sure exactly when.
-
Maybe I should change oshimen, Morishi is the only member ever to not like my happy birthday tweet :angry:
I actually think she's the only one to ever do so outside the idols that aren't allowed to reply to fans.
(ok I'm kidding I'm not going to)
-
She didn't like mine either. I wonder how many happy birthday tweets she received. She has 32k followers so probably quite a few. I wouldn't hold it against her.
-
Well Aipon did and other more popular idols have, I don't really mind that she didn't like it, it's not like it actually matters but still it's nice when they do.
-
I'm surprised I even got a like from Aipon, but I didn't get a like from Morishi or Mio either for their birthdays. Strangely I did also get a like from Makocchan for her birthday the other day. I mean I don't really care either, it's just interesting to see which idols take the time to do that kind of thing.
-
I think aipon faved my tweet during her last birthday last september, but the "best" i ever get on twitter from any passpo member is probably Mako-chan. If you see her twitter page, she doesn't really "Follow" that many other people (only following 241 just now i checked)
So Few years ago when i'm still often post about passpo on my twitter feeds -- i kinda shocked when i checked my notification tab that Makkochan has just followed me. such a rare case xD
Doesnt last long though, in the end she unfollowed me lol. She didnt follow that many people compared to other members back then too (think mainly she only follow some friends and staffs), so i guessed she must have followed me by accident while stalking my tweets. :lol: kinda weird now when i think about it xD
I even screencapped it back then when she still following me on twitter, but too lazy to dig my old pc now for that screenshot.

Yeah got likes from Makocchan and Sako - I think I forgot Mio's birthday!

I just re-read this entire thread, it was really fun :)
(2 hours well spent, LOL)
-
Someone is obviously bored...! lol
-
lol sometimes when i bored i also often re-read my old blog post too xD Reminding me of many great and funny things.
and also just re-read my own post in this thread a few years back. kinda funny hahaha. (well, most of my post in jp!h-p is in this thread anyway) :)
*My first post in this thread back then (http://www.passpofan.net7.pw/haha.jpg) * damnnn 2011... thats 5 years ago already. time flies by so fast
-
Just noticed the new video already has more views than the previous one, not sure why it failed so badly - maybe fans didn't like the thought of Aipon getting married!!!
-
Out of all the new stuff (post beef or chicken), Bachelorette wa owaranai is my favorite song. The video is also really cool and funny. Yeah it is a little strange.
-
(For all the new single releases post beef or chicken...)
Music Video wise, I like Mr Wednesday's MV, but for song wise i like "Bachelorette wa owaranai" much better.
The "gimme gimme action" imo is so so only... Miomio being the baby and Nachu being the pet dog is still abit weird for me :lol: And mostly during the mv is just they sitting on their table instead of dancing and stuffs haha
-
Well the new single is selling ok'ish, it didn't enter at a high position but has been in the top 30 for almost a week - positions 17-27-30-26-20-14 so it's actually rising still!
Personally I really like "Love Refrain" this exact style of pop-rock I think they do better than Silent Siren, and I think PASSPO probably has the best "group singing" of any idol group, their voices compliment each other so well.

I agree, it's a well composed song.
-
I'm afraid Chart entry at 17 means under 10K again. :cry:
Such a big drop since Perfect Sky and Himawari which both sold around 25K. They are not even the best selling Platinum idols anymore.
-
Well they changed the way the do the numbers, in general they are WAY lower these days.
(The new Band Maid single sold 2420 copies the first week, pretty sure PASSPO will best that).
-
I heard about Oricon changing the system but found no english report about the details. Does someone know more?
Was this change already in place for Bachelorette? At least they perform the song quite regularly, so it seems the songs is still favoured by the group.
-
Such a big drop since Perfect Sky and Himawari which both sold around 25K. They are not even the best selling Platinum idols anymore.
eh ? who is the best selling idol groups now in platinum? Palet?
i think passpo sales couldnt be worse than palet...somemore palet would be a 5 member group soon (after riona's graduation announcement). and sanmini (3min) even worse. Only 4 members (although their upcoming new single sounds decent for me). Not sure about predia though....haha
I remember Chikipa's "Hands up" single losing to palet's "over the rainbow" in the oricon chart a few months ago tho...but it's still below the 10k sales mark if i remember,and i'm not sure if they can outsell passpo :)
-
^ I think some of the Palet singles did well because they were Anime songs - but as a whole I'm pretty sure PASSPO is still the biggest artist with Platinum.
-
Palet's best selling single i think still "Snow distance". quite surprised back then to see a palet single selling for about 25.000 sales in the first week ! But i think their sales went down after that single sadly, haha. (some members change/graduation also... :( so that is bound to affect the sales)
Btw, I am kinda curious, so i googled/did a quick research about the recent sales of the platinum groups...uh oh...didnt know it was Predia who's still going strong...who would have guessed ? lol.
Latest single 1st week sales of Predia/Passpo/Palet"
Setsuna no Yoru no Naka de – Predia (01/27/2016) (13,192). :shocked
Bachelorette wa Owaranai – PASSPO (07/27/2016) (9,142).
Over The Rainbow – Palet (09/07/2016) (7,039).
-
Lets see tomorrow when the weekly numbers are released, but yeah a first day at 17 doesn't seem like it would end up selling well!
(guessing 4,000-6,000)
-
^
If its below 6000 then it would be the worst first week sales for passpo single to date...thats kinda bad....
their worst one i think its Natsuzora hanabi (at 7400 sales first week) and followed by next flight (around 7700 sales first week) and that is a long time ago. But it could be the new oricon new system/rule also taking effect -- im not sure how it works either. ...because AKB48's latest single still selling at a whoppin' 1.1million copies (i thought multiple copies doesnt count?) Maybe someone has more info on that. :?
-
Predia who's still going strong...who would have guessed ? lol.
Reiko, Yuzuka and Akina turning 30 soon! Hope they all continue for another decade.
There must be some kind of rivalry going on between the units I guess. Passpo always seemed to have the bigger budgets etc.
Let's see if that's going to change if Predia can outsell Passpo yet again with their new single.
(ps. they should have made 'The Call' a single, taking the fan reactions into account.)
-
So the number is out...
its Rank 23 with 6351 sales.
(http://passpofan.net7.pw/gimmeaction.jpg)
First time Palet single (Over the Rainbow) outsell Passpo new single!
But Palet new single is pretty good imo...(even the coupling song is nice). Just a shame their members line up is really unstable...every year sure got a change. that's my only problem with Palet really, so i have no more oshi there lol.
-
Well, seems like PASSPO won the potatoe chips competition. Which means their images will soon appear on Calbee's packaging. Didn't expect that.
-
And to shoot any break-up rumors down (if there were any) they have a concert planned for the 9'th of September next year.
-
November was not a good month to release a single. Too many other groups released at the same time, making it difficult for casual fans.
November 2 - Dempagumi, C-ute
November 8 - GANG PARADE (album)
November 9 - Nogizaka46 (Hashimoto Nanami's last), Little Glee Monster, Tokimeki Sendenbu, Kiyoshi Ryujin 25, FuwaFuwa

Only listed the major ones or ones I have an idea of being popular at the moment in the Japanese idol scene. I don't keep track of the boy bands or K-pop groups but ppl go crazy for those too.
Waiting until the first week of December might have helped their rank since there's no one really except Kamiyado and 3min. as far as female idols go.
All those palet graduations seem to have landed them back in indies. They're no longer with Columbia.
3min losing Mayu and Hina and Yoko was no good. They still haven't updated their site to include the new member Ramu either despite her being with them since the summer.
predia seems pretty solid but I wonder how much longer they have.

Interesting...didnt know Palet got dropped from their labels, but understandable cuz their sales has been weak.
Glad to see Passpo still have many LIVEs lined up in the future though (including September one next year as someone pointed above). Even though their new single sales declined, i think many people will still come to see them performing their good ol' songs from their golden days haha.
As for Sanmini, I kinda like Yoko back then -- but she graduated. Oh well. Recently i've been following them again, and i just saw the MV for their latest single and it looks kinda good (even though low budget!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubX64-GjeeM
(Yeah i know this is a passpo thread but i cant find any sanmini thread anywhere)
Well, seems like PASSPO won the potatoe chips competition. Which means their images will soon appear on Calbee's packaging. Didn't expect that.
I remember when passpo still promoting calbee heavily back then in TIF2016, in the end i bought it to try....meh. the taste so so only. the only plus is to see passpo on the packaging i guess haha.
-
3Min is a "K-Pop" group now? Is that how out of the loop I am with them?
-
^ more like a dance group...
some of their songs actually has the same style as the new single ("bad game", "Lil Love", etc)...so, not that surprising to be honest.
But i see their using casual clothes for the new single, so maybe they dont have budget for new outfits? haha :lol:

It says "VR content download". Maybe it's for those VR sets for PC. I don't know.
By reading the description I get the feeling this is VR only.

That's a LOT of songs on an album if that info is right, but then again they tend to make long albums.
-
I would rather assume, that the finished album will contain 12 songs in summary.
-
^ I assume so, but his translation says "more" - but maybe he just made it up.
-
If the 8 plus 12 part is wrong, blame Clem I got that interpretation from him.
-
No one is to blame. We all assuming the same here, with our limited language ressources. Thanks instead for the info!
Again I would have been able to refrain from buying their singles, as all tracks will appear on the album :smhid
-
I don't know I just tried translating it myself using more than one translator and Google gives me "Total of 12 other songs scheduled" and Bing gives me "In addition all 12 songs". I think the confusion here is Google's usage of "12 other songs" over Bing's "all 12 songs". I think the only thing the album is missing from the singles is Musical Party.
-
Hm, the last album had 12 tracks in the regular edition, so this would be consistend then. 20 tracks otherwise wouldn't be impossible but seems a bit over-the-top for the current phase of the group. Though I would of course prefer more songs over less, without a doubt.
-
Yeah after looking at more articles about the release and trying to translate those, it's starting to look like it might be just 12 songs total.
-
Again I would have been able to refrain from buying their singles, as all tracks will appear on the album :smhid
Well isn't it always like that with these kinds of groups - you always end up with 4-6 songs on an album you already have.
We should buy the singles because we support the group and want them to keep going.
-
I agree in terms of idols regarding the support. But I would love to see them release single-only-tracks, to make the purchase more worthwhile.
-
他 全12曲収録予定
他 = other
全 = all (probably total in this case)
曲 = music,song
the rest pretty much means "recordings planned" or "scheduled"
So to me this would read like "Others(not common to both versions): a total of 12 tracks planned". I could easily be wrong.
Since one of them is first class and the other economy class, the higher end version will most likely include more of those extra 12 songs so it will probably be something like this:
Type A: 8 common + 8 exclusives
Type B: 8 common + 4 exclusives
or any other combination. That would be my interpretation. I guess we'll know when we see the track listing won't we? And this will probably be soon since the release is in a little over 2 months.
I'm just gonna add this. Passpo isn't the first group to do this (having multiple versions of a record, each with exclusive songs), but I don't really like it when the management of a group decides to do this. At least the first class version of Beef or Chicken got you everything. Here, getting everything means buying both versions, and those things aren't cheap. :smhid
-
Yeah new album!!!
What to expect? Based on what's on the last 3 albums (and what's still missing), I'd say:
- An Intro (Departure - Ignition - Immigration Control) -> that's prob. 'Music Navigation' :roll:
- A slow pop song (With XXXX - Growing Up - Shiny Road) -> is there anyone who can stand this crap??? :angry:
- A punkpop/rock song (Natsuzora HANABI - 「I」 - Himawari) -> would be cool 8)
- A bubblegum punky song (Pink no Parachute - Onegai - Heaven's Burger) -> always fun :)
- A hardrock song (WING - MASK - FAKE). -> I'd be disappointed if there's no 4 letter rocksong written in capitals on it. :panic:
-
http://ameblo.jp/vririmov/entry-12228417037.html
From Morishi's blog entry. They've been shooting the video that will coincide with the album's release. It will be for the song "Playground".
-
I found a radio rip of PASSPO☆'s new song Playground on someone's Twitter for anyone that wants to hear it.
https://twitter.com/BO_PENCO/status/814079311267233792

Not sure what to think. It's alright I guess. It reminds me a little of the songs on Hachaketai's last single.

Love that MV!
And those uniforms... :heart: :heart: :heart:
(http://i.imgur.com/NBmspTz.jpg?1)
-
I like the song a lot, but I'm a sucker for that 'hacchake beat'.
Looks like we get a tiny bit more than expected on the new album; there are 13 tracks, although I wouldn't be surprised if 'Popcorn bought?' is just a (spoken word) filler track. Plus there's an alternative version of 7's up.
Looking forward to 'Stubborn Resistance' (Mori going Rambo?), 'Minority Hero' (huh, Mori again?), 'Film' (how about that for a generic song title) and NASA! (or maybe not, who knows).
-
Alternative version of 7's Up?
-
Not a big fan of the song, their outfits and the video are great though.
-
wow.
that MV and song is really good IMO! and lol @ the zombies theme...must be me miomio's idea (cuz she love the Walking Dead series :lol:)
Overall. I love this MV ANDDD the song so much better than Mr Wednesday, Bachelorette or gimme action.
-
Alternative version of 7's Up?
Or 'Album version'. How much of a difference it makes remains to be seen. Maybe movie related lyrics.
They should make video's of all these movie themed songs (if they had the money).
Or at least do Mori's action movie song. (Although it's no-budget filming; that airplane scale model :) ).
-
Song is really a party stomper. As somebody mentioned, would have fitted Hacchake Tai as well. Is it better than Mr. Wednesday though? Have to experience it live. The best aspect of it for me is the guitar solo, finally something more skillful.
-
Best outfits in a long time as they are not all over the place in terms of design. Mio doesn't get away with hiding behind a super long skirt either. She has knees!
Even though they got the same running shoes as usual, at least they color-coordinated the laces too.
Naomi's new hair is amazing!
-
You can hear two new songs here.
futsuku no resistance (Persistent resistance) at 3:20
Music Navigation at 22:20
It's tough to make an opinion after just one listen but anyway, so far all 3 songs I've heard from this album sound pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d58rmcO8bE
-
So it's going to be a proper Passpo album after all. Not only kawaii pop. :thumbup
I couldn't imagine otherwise but still it's a bit of a relief after the three single releases.
-
abit off topic...but palet has added 3 new members to their line up.
so now palet has more members than passpo. Haha :? :lol:

I am one of those fans who like it that Passpo never added further members. I prefer smaller line ups anyway. Palet now doesn't seem like the group they were now. Too many changes too quickly.

haha yeah, i remember back then when passpo has audition for new members and in the end all the candicates become palet members. i guess im just lucky that my fave member in passpo (annya and aipon) are still around for all these time. It's been 6-7 years since i supported them?
As for Palet...all my fave members are now gone (first Sakimo, then Riona :bleed eyes:) but for some reason i still like their songs libary, lol, so i'll still drop by once in a while to see them if im in japan. Love their last single (over the rainbow) and kinda gutted only managed to saw that 1x in TIF !

lol, what has any member got to do with liking their songs? Either sou like the music or not ;)
@rezar
I agree. Nice shirt design. Finally, lol.
I wish they would use some real life photos once in a while instead the anime characters.
-
palet = good songs and ever-changing lineup.
Hard to find a favorite member when they could leave at any moment. Same with 3min., who still have not updated their site to reflect the new lineup after Yoko and Mayu left and Ramu joined.
Looks like I gotta get that new shirt

But eventually turns into sounding like actual American pop like Carly Rae Jepsen, but since she's huge in Japan I guess it's not that strange someone would emulate that style.

Unfortunately none of the end of july ones are in Tokyo, but there is one in Chiba that's manageable.
-
As usual, a few gigs are added at last minute between their main concert dates. If that's when you're going, you're probably get to see them.
-
Well I assume they will be at TIF.
-
ah, too bad theres not a date i can go between 28th july to 7th august...well there's the 29th and 30th july but it seems kinda far.
i think ill just see them at TIFs lol

Release on Aipon's birthday! Good thing they do a follow up to their album rather quick.
-
Yes! I hope we can look forward to another single(s)/album series. No double best of album yet, Crown has still faith in them it seems.
So let's see if anything changes to break the downward sales spiral. To start they once more invented a new genre; 'Comic book pop'...
[ps. I'm curious if they indeed gonna face some sort of Kaijuu in the upcoming MV. In that case I cross my fingers they hook up with Toho Studios (just like the item in the TV program 'Japan in Motion' where Giant Mio rampages Tokyo and they blow up some stuff with practical effects), and not the people who did the 'Step&Go' CGI.]
[ps2. I'm impressed by Mio's progress on bass. This clip of her playing bass and singing (https://www.instagram.com/p/BUVqEFXlh7H/) at the same time is great. This one of thrash metal Mio (https://www.instagram.com/p/BUqj5tXlpOi/) is fun too. And here is bad woman Mio:

Yes. I was really happy when I heard about the new single. Hopefully we get two more after this one and an album eventually. I think very highly of Cinema trip and I think the song writers and the girls still have a lot to contribute to the idol scene.
Uhh. Yes. A high budget MV with Mio as Godzilla would categorically rock. :lol:
Lately I've been impressed with Mio on bass and Annya on drums. The others do a decent job but I feel those two show the most improvement.
-
^ So Comic book pop = Himawari x ska x rap. That's okay then.
In times of need always revisit your last succesful single.

New uniforms.
I thought they were just ok at first but I'm starting to like them.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFUroeYUAAAj_-z.jpg)
-
Hm, I am not convinced. Am I the only one who thinks of Pokemon balls when I see them?
And why do the colours are looking so washed out? Reminds me of the fashion during the 60s.
Morishi getting trousers as the only one, whereas Annya and Yucky get mini-skirts. Hmm...
But luckily I don't care much for uniforms.

Hachaketai's set from day 1 of TIF.
Good stuff.

Yeah I really liked them, saw both their performances and all PASSPO except yesterday when I felt bad - didn't know they would play as BAND PASSPO today so that was a nice surprise.
-
Amazing live. Thanks for the link. I should consider to attend TIF some time again.
Hopefully Hacchake Tai will perform more often again.
-
just got back from my TIF/japan trip few days ago (long summary can be found on my blog (http://www.20daysinjapan.akbingo.org/) lol.
haha dammit. i only watched passpo 1x during this japan trip (lol) so confirmed my priorities has shifted somewhere else. XD On day 2, i wanted to watch the Passpo hot stage performance, but kinda unlucky as i arrived last minute and for some reason the queue for the Hot stage is damn crazy. i can enter the hot stage just fine on day 3 even though i entered just 1 hour before Nogiz and Grand Finale (and so does my friend who arrived like 5 mins late before nogiz on day 3), so maybe really just back luck there on Day 2 (o maybe its because HKT48 lol). Abandoned the queue and went for sky stage for maneki kecak instead xD
I did watch them on day 3 heat garage performance though. They sing Natzusora Hanabi *yay*, vivi Natsu, Pretty Lie, Bachelorette, and one more song (i think a new song). The new outfit is kinda weird tho.
This year TIF is not as hot (day 1 and 2) due to the cloudy weather, although day 3 is definitely back to the "summer hell" weather. My skin burned again even though i have used 2 different types of sunblock :lol: The security is damn tight again this year though. so many dramas in twitter i saw on the day (saw some jap fans RT'ing their videos and pictures including a guy fighting with the BONDs until they're bleeding xD)
-
Last time I saw the band was before their band tour and I must say, they're making good progress. Naomi even did some nice soloing and her overall sound is way better now. Wanted intro also sounds pretty good. Nice!
If you haven't seen it yet, the TIF performance can be found here:

I think the song is ok. It's fun and upbeat so it works for me. But then, I'm not very picky when it comes to Passpo. :lol:
The video is very cool though.
This sounds like it should be a pretty good live song.

New uniforms.
I thought they were just ok at first but I'm starting to like them.
Oh I like those uniforms! Cute with the above knee stockings for some members and below for others; and naughty teasing suspenders for two. And the colour panels are so nice. I really really wish there was more video material of Passpo around... I have most of their DVDs but they have hardly done any blu-ray, and nothing at all for over two years I think. Get off your butts, Universal Japan! (Discography here (http://www.universal-music.co.jp/passpo/discography/) btw, click the tab for DVD/BD).
-
Ehm, Passpo isn't at Universal anymore.

As wattstax said you wont find anything new there since they changed to Crown Records more than a year ago.
-
^ and ^^ Thanks guys! Still, it seems that Crown hasn't released anything much for them yet, or am I wrong? Nothing on the online stores that I can find.
What happened, did Universal drop them, or did they move on themselves cos they weren't getting much out of Universal?
-
Isn't it a shame that possible DVD releases are being held back by such a small technicality? I realize all the material prior to Mr. Wednesday belongs to Universal but wouldn't it be possible for them and Crown to reach some kind of deal to split the revenues according to the number of songs? 60% of the songs from this live belong to Universal so they get 60% of the profit? And vice versa for Crown? Something like that. Surely that has to be possible. Maybe the potential profit isn't significant enough to justify all the headaches that would come with a contract like that.
Hopefully one day it'll happen.

Their last CD is with Crown but you are right no video releases.
-
Correct. And only Universal releases are available for official download, like itunes store.
-
Ah, so that's the issue... legal wrangling over copyright. But they are still performing their Universal era songs? They must have an agreement for public performance then, just not for electronic media. So that still leaves the question, who initiated the label switch? If Universal are playing bastards, it sounds as if the members / management made the move against Universal's wishes.
-
Hm, not sure. My impression was rather that Universal didn't want the group anymore. Maybe this notion lead to less support by them and in consequence to PASSPO wanting to leave.
I have the feeling though that Crown makes a better job than Universal, as the latter don't really have an idea of the idol market.
Don't worry. The still perform all their Universal tracks. Even Shoujo Hikou and Pretty Lie. Despite the fact I don't like this two songs, it gets on my nerves that on every big stage PASSPO limits themselves to just perform their 4 crowd classic (Shoujo Hikou, Pretty Lie, Wanted!, Material Girl). Best examples are TIF and @JAM. Makes it kind of useless to watch the performance for me, if it is always the same.

I guess something like PASSPO is small fry for Universal J, and they are likely glad to be rid of them. Pity they have to be so stinky about rights though.
Don't worry. The still perform all their Universal tracks.
Cool... but it's just that Crown can't release any lives which contain material still licensed to Universal. So the best we can hope for, as their Crown repertoire expands, is a disc release with any pre-Crown tracks edited out. *sigh*
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Great energy, pace, dynamics, fun melodies. :thumbup And bonus points for the booger of death.

Dance version released.

Seems pretty fast to get to 50,000 this time.

Additional to a new tour PASSPO announced their next big One Man, which will happen in one years time on 22.September 2018 at Nakano Sun Plaza.
Now that allows for planning and reservations of flights/hotel in time.

Hey that IS good news! So often Japanese groups I follow only announce lives with like 2 or 3 months notice, and I have already planned my Japan travel way ahead of that. So this might even be a possibility. Cool! And Nakano SunPlaza is a good enough venue, been there before.

Yagi Hinata and Yuna Yamamoto will stay active the rest will retire (sad that Riko is not continuing she has a nice voice).

In other platinum news - Pinky Poker is now Pinky Case, they got some more original songs and Sako Makita is doing the choreography (I think Anna has been helping them until now).

Sad news. I liked their music and I thought they were coming along great. I always thought Passpo would be the first ones to go and puchi would keep their music alive for a few more years after they've disbanded. Very surprised. Yes, agree about Riko.

Ah... Makes sense. I was wondering why Sako was re-tweeting Pinky Poker/Case's tweets.

Yagi Hinata and Yuna Yamamoto are joining a new group called なんきんペッパー (nankinpepper), the other two girls are former PALET members Yuka Habara and Tanda Hazuki.

Cool.
I wonder if we'll get remixes or live performances of puchi or palet songs. I thought both groups had lots of good songs.
-
As you might have noticed by now they are just YOUTUBERS not an idol group, too bad.
I really like Tanda Hazuki (one of the ex PALET girls) she has that smirk, almost laugh on her face at all times that I find so charming, she's cute enough in her twitter pics but seeing her in motion really makes a difference, too cute. https://twitter.com/tanda_hazuki
Anyway their videos are extremely pointless but they are adorable.

In other non-PASSPO related news:
PINKYCASE are confirmed for TIF2018, I think Platinum has some kind of shortcut to TIF because they are in no way very well known, but I look forward to seeing them.

Just in :
Passpo to disband at the end of their last tour in September 2018 in Nakano Sun Plaza.
https://twitter.com/passpo_staff/status/997401592587370496
I haven't been following them much lately as i have been busy with other idol groups (not gonna lie that my interest towards them has dropped alot so this doesnt feel too much to me...if this was announced 3 years earlier, maybe it'll have more impact on me haha). But i feel that time and Age has finally catching up with them (the members). I also already feel weird when they announced the set of tour for 2018 way too early last year, it's like, something gonna happen at the end of that live, well my guess is right then.

We're creating a banner that will be given to the girls of Passpo at their final concert on September 22. It basically says in Japanese "From everyone at the Passpo Overseas Fans Facebook group, and all passengers around the world, thank you for those 9 amazing years! We love you and we'll miss you".
We'd like to incorporate as many signatures as possible in the final design of the banner. Each one will show the signature and the country of origin of the person. All you have to do is make a signature on a piece of paper. Your first name will do. You can also use your main online name (Twitter, forum username). Then take a picture with your phone and send it to me in a PM or to the e-mail address below. Include your country of origin of course.
If this sounds like too much hassle, you can also simply send me a PM to tell me you'd like to appear on the banner and your name will be added as text, along with your country.
The deadline to participate will probably be the first half of August, but the quicker you send it to me, the more I'll know how many of them to expect and start working on the design accordingly.
If this group meant anything to you, please participate! :) Thank you!

Finally an MV from those guys.

Oh yes... Final reminder. The deadline for the banner project is Sunday August 12. After that I'll be too busy with trip preparations and getting the thing printed so if you've been meaning to participate but haven't gotten around to it, now would be a great time. :) I'm missing about 12 or so signatures, but I could always squeeze in more.
Send them to clem84@videotron.ca, or @clem842 on Twitter. Thanks!
***************************************************************************************
August 14th update:
Banner project is closed. I can't accept anymore entries as the design is finalized and it's been sent to the printing company. We ended up with something like 265 names and around 85 signatures.
Thanks to everyone who sent their signature. This definitely would not have been possible without all of you. :thumbup :twothumbs

It's over... :(
Wonder what the different members will say about their futures the next few days.
Lot's of pics from last show -> https://natalie.mu/music/news/300838

I hope they all live happily ever after, whatever they choose to do.
And I wish all the fans the same. :)

To all of you who participated in the banner project, thank you!!

Final flight was awesome. It very much sucks that it's over but I think the members gave everything they had during those last 2 days. Plus they left us with 6 great albums to listen to. There is also the Aipon-Morishi-Ground Crew live coming up in November so I guess it's not completely over.
