Bless her. Great leader indeed.
During an interview with Nao and Kaede (well, Miku and Saiki from Band-Maid were being interviewed as well) this exchange happened:
-Getting back serious, Passcode which is a cross of idol and band, and BAND-MAID which plays serious hard rock in maid outfits are special groups, but are there any dilemmas in that?
Minami Passcode is a dancing group, so in two man lives there were times in that there was prejudice. "Since you are idols, the performance isn't much? You are being told to do it?" But then what I think recently is that dancing is our strong point. In a band you can't tell what song is being done if you don't listen to it, but in our group it can be told by watching us. When I started thinking like that I thought dancing was our selling point, and went on to synchronize our dance more.
-So you had a change of perception.
Minami Our groups selling point is not a great voice or dance, and that is something we are still working on, but not get pessimistic about that. But to make the next live better than the earlier one and fans to look forward in the growth we show. And that is also a strong point of Passcode.
Takashima (grinning watching Minami)
Minami Whats with your face? (laughs)
-It's a face saying you say good things.
Takashima Yes. Of course it's our Minami.
Minami Isn't that so bad? (laughs) I get so embarrassed when told these things. (laughs)
So there's a big level of admiration and respect for Nao within PassCode.
