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 )PS: Or this 5-people image is just a pun to make us think about everything hahahahaha
