(New years' day viewing suggestion)

=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...



[Some pointers to make life easier]

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

Agreed. They really emphasize the Idol aspect much more with it.

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 "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.

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.

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.

Why can't you make something out of this? You just don't read the right tweets ;)

I just don't get it, why taking pictures is such a big deal... I am more interested in the suppossedly career-changing announcement.

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).
