PassCode perform rock, pop and EDM (electro dance music) songs. The idol unit is based in Osaka. It is the hometown of the 4 girls. Sound producer Hirachi Koji is in charge of songwriting.

PassCode debuted their activities in May 2013. Minami Nao was recruited in July 2013. 3 former members successively withdrew in July, August and December 2013.

Takashima Kaede and Imada Yuna joined the idol group in January 2014. 1st live performance was held in March 2014 at Osaka Ruido. Their 1st single Nextage was released in September 2014. The CD was followed by their 1st album All Is Vanity in October 2014.

Ogami Hinako joined PassCode as a new member in August 2015. She made her first appearance during Tokyo Idol Festival. Kurohara Yuri announced her withdrawal due to poor physical health in October 2015. The idol group held its 1st One-Man Live Tour Trial of PassCode from October 2015 to January 2016 across Japan.

Songs featuring Imada Yuna’s shout scream are one of the characteristics of the idol group. Their fans are called “hackers”. - J-Pop Idols (http://www.jpop-idols.com/en/passcode/)

Post by: mixedmedia on January 21, 2016, 03:02:40 PM
I kept waiting for Yuna to throw a table and start using her death scream while wearing her "recruit suit" but I guess it's like "Orange" where they'll do a sentimental-sounding song to balance out all the genre-hopping insanity that drives fans wild.

Nao is totally using the wrong skateboard setup to try and skate ramp. I know it's a stunt double but still, those look like soft cruiser wheels on her board which mean she'll definitely be having some problems trying to do much of anything except go back and forth.

The voice bit modification is but it's different than it originally was it used to just be pitched, zekkyou did the same it in their last video as well - I just think it's annoying.

Screamo screams I just don't like, can't recall they used to have them originally either.

^ Seems like shit hit the fan for Yuri... she's split ways with her company, seemingly against her will, and cancelled all upcoming events... Seems like she wants to sing and wants to continue but something bad happened with management. She wrote a really long post on twitter about it, a translation of which is here: http://www.homicidols.com/when-idols-get-pissed-kurohara-yu-ri-bites-back/

Interesting. The song sounds good and very PassCode.

I'm a bit confused, because on their twitter ( https://twitter.com/NSD_Staff ) profile, it says they are based in Osaka, but apparently they are debuting on 9/11 in Tokyo (Shinjuku Loft).

I wonder if they will do PassCode songs, or all original songs?
Title: Re: (Group) PassCode

You beat me by a few seconds. :)

I'm sooooo getting this.

It's weird that their "trials of Passcode" DVD seems to only be available on their online stores. I checked at an HMV and a Tower Records when I was in Tokyo last month and they didn't have it in stock. Not even officially part of their inventory or anything. That surprised me so I checked amazon.co.jp and CDjapan and it wasn't there either. Only on Passcodeonline.com.

edit: It seems to have recently been added to CDjapan.

haha that seems weird...which tower records you went again?
usually for tower record i only went to the one in Shibuya seems that one seems to have loads of idol cd/dvds...went to tower records in akiba before surprisingly the selection isn't as much.

And i just finally watched that digest video of the upcoming live. That seems so awesome -- can't wait for it ! Actually i was in japan during that time (zepp diver live) but due to clash of schedules, i'm unable to attend it (got to go other events)...haha...wish i have a "mirror image skill" so i can clone myself and go all the events i wanted in one day that time lol.  :lol: :(

I went to a few including the one in Shibuya. I thought if they don't have it listed there it's probably not anywhere else. The one in Akiba, do you mean the one in Yodobashi mall? It's small-ish. I think I also asked there but no luck. I know what you mean by clash of schedules. In the end you have to make choices.
Title: Re: (Group) PassCode / Neve Slide Down
Post by: infzer0 on October 11, 2016, 02:19:58 PM

yeah, that one in yodobashi akiba is really small.

So far i always found the one i wanted to buy at shibuya's tower record tho, that one is more complete.....but maybe just like you said, for that particular passcode release ,they only available for release in online stores, lol.

Looks like Universal means "no full versions" and it's not on the DVD for the LE version?

At least, it comes with the ZDC live. If you look at it as being the DVD and single for 3,000 yen, it's a pretty good deal?

yeah, shame about the short version MV--i can't rip the audio into mp3s cuz its incomplete...guess ill have to wait longer


Also, does anyone knows why passcode always sing "Seize the Day" for their last song during lives? wonder if there any special meaning to it  :?

Just watched the bonus DVD from Miss Unlimited Single. (Zepp Diver Live on 8/8/2016)

Imo its their best live DVD to date.
- Live bands (Kissの花束 with live band is awesome)
- Nice cinematography / camera angles
- Nice Live Audio -- they never remove the fan chants/mix
(hate it when they remove them from live DVDs. might as well listen to MP3s)

It is a bit short though at only 1 hour 16 mins, but i think Passcode performance is always straight to the point, no boring Mcs (although there is MC segment in here, kinda weird cuz i almost never see them do MCs lol  :lol:).

One of my fave performance from this live dvd is Kissの花束, Axis, Never Sleep Again and Club Kids + seize the day.  :twothumbs

Short Clip of "Seize the Day" towards the end

Oh ya, talking about the Miss Unlimited single. They coupling song "Cry out" is awesome as well...love it better than the main single lol.

Another thing, Miss Unlimited 1st week sales at oricon is around 3000+ copies only...ranked at 43 for the first week...not looking too good for a major debut? :?

Post by: mixedmedia on November 05, 2016, 07:29:20 AM
Considering that the single came out during a week jam packed full of other releases, it's not good but there was a lot of competition for sure. Amuro Namie (Death Note theme song), PiiiiiiiN, Jyu Jyu, Juice=Juice, Nishino Kana, Yamamoto Sayaka (NMB), Aikawa Nanase, JUJU, Omori Seiko, Bakusute, and also some boyband releases which I never keep up with. Plus there was Dempa and C-ute the following week.

Weekly/daily rankings are overrated since they only measure a spike in sales during the first day/week and it's usually dependent on pre-orders and who they are up against. How long and often was Kamen Joshi doing pre-order events to get their Oricon ranking and sell like 200k copies of "Genki dane"?

With their tour starting PassCode should sell a bunch more copies, which is the point isn't it?

Just ordered my LE copy off amazon.co.jp since I missed out on the release events.

finally gotten a cheki with passcode during my last japan trip.  XD went for their release event on the 2nd of august 2017 @ shinjuku tower records. It's a mini live with the benefits bonus after the mini live. For chekis, You need to buy their album zenith which cost 3500 yen (for 3 tickets) or the standard version 2500 yen (for 2 tickets). 2 tickets is required for cheki without sign, 3 tickets for chekis with sign, 4 tickets for group shots. I think the album packagin is quite nice, and it also come with a poster. overall it's worth it

Did you happen to see a big white guy with a beard and a bow on his head with a leather kilt at PassCode? I think that guy mentioned he was going to one of the events in Shinjuku.

Definitely regret not getting a hotel for TIF this year as Saturday/Sunday killed me.

ah. never see him

i did arrive quite late because i was rushing from babyraids mini live at laqua city just like 30 minutes before. I rushed down to shinjuku and reached the venue on time at 19:55 (5 mins before it starts lol)

i did bump with some other foreign passcode fan (Patrick Kirby - twitter handle @kirby_metal) and his friend, and also some other foreigners in the 2shots cheki queue i forgot to ask their name....but that was it haha.  XD

Missed out on all the in-stores for "Zenith" but luckily I had enough points somewhere to order it for free. Probably won't arrive until after @JAM where I might be tempted to get a copy anyway depending on what they're offering in return...

So Nao and Yuna are most popular? Maybe I'll have to postpone any potential cheki until they do a smaller event? I don't understand how people in charge of the timetables will put a lot of similar groups competing with each other and then have several hours of "nothing" in between.

Yuna, Nao and Kappi (kaede) all popular. i didnt wait that long enough to see which one last longer; kappi or nao. but yuna is definitely the last to finish as her queue is the most crazy lol  :lol:

btw i think nowadays its a bit hard to take cheki with passcode. correct me if im wrong but they dont usually do cheki anymores after live houses / performance etc. only during release event then they will have chekis.

also, their buppan at other live venues usually sell CDs only and no tshirts. *i suppose to buy their tshirt you must buy from their online store*
