^ She is adorable.  I can never say that any one of the Passpo members is my favourite, cos I love them all, but Mio-chan is among my most well-liked!  Thanks for reminding us of her birthday and some great pics in commemoration! Specially love the ones with blue hair!

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? 

[qwiksXnd]

^ 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.

[tsutomo]

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...*

[qwiksXnd]

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.

[KalvinET]

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.

[tsutomo]

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.
