This an attempt to make a list of facts to further document the thread. These facts will be added to the op.

PassCode Facts:
group:
  • Known for their energetic stage presence and ensuing wild live shows.
  • The girls make heavy use of the vocoder to give their voices a robotic sound.
  • The vocoder is not used on a few songs to prove the girls can actually sing.
  • Even by Alt-Idol standards, PassCode mixes, mashes, and smashes genres with gleeful abandon. The girls themselves are often singing heavily vocoded J-Pop while the keyboardist (or backtrack) is playing chiptune technopop and the rest of the band are shredding hard rock or speed metal. Add to that mixture Yuna, who is almost a genre unto herself.
  • The group features harsh vocals, largely done by Yuna although Kaede can also do it. Nao also screams during live shows; but hers are not death screams.
  • For a very brief period in Summer 2015, after Hinako joined, PassCode became a five-girl group.
  • Since 2016, PassCode performs with a live backing band, and has done so consistently since then.
  • Often at live shows, the girls "flip the bird". Yuna started this tradition by getting a bit too into "Moon Phase" (while dropping an F-bomb). Hinako, the youngest member, then took up the gesture later in the show. The choreography for "rise in revolt" involves all four girls giving audiences the finger multiple times.
  • Just about every song the group has ever made has some English, especially post-Yuri.
  • The vast majority of PassCode's songs are originally titled in English, and a few songs that aren't are English words transcribed in katakana (「アスタリスク」 "Asterisk", 「オレンジ」 "Orange", 「ドリーム・メーカー」 "Dream Maker", 「カタルシス」 "Catharsis").

Yuna:
  • In charge of the harsh vocals. She's renowned for her death voice.
  • The earliest songs use someone else's voice for screaming and at early live shows she mimed to a backtrack.
  • Despite being in charge of the harsh vocals; she's quite the demure Girly Girl off-stage.
  • She has admitted in interviews she was uncomfortable with the screaming for a long time.
  • She's quite short; measuring 149cm (4'10⅝") tall.
  • She has stated in interviews that her English skill is poor. Yet she tends to have the most English in songs due to her death-screams.

Kaede:
  • Can do death screams quite well although not to Yuna's level.

Nao:
  • Joined the group during their earliest stages to save it from disbandment.
  • Although there is currently no officially designated leader; Nao is the de facto leader. She does most of the talking during audience interaction, including "directing" the band, and her profile is listed first on each of the band's official portals.
  • She is not the oldest on the group, but she has been on PassCode for the longest time.
  • She's a fan of Babymetal.

Hinako:
  • When she initially joined the group, she felt unwelcome.
  • She has a positive personality; smiling a lot.
