A report from Gekirock about PassCode's Nippon Budokan concert. I made a few corrections on pronouns and names; but some may have slipped through. @Hackers

2022.02.12 @ Nippon Budokan
Reported by Saori Yoshiba Photo by Shingo Tamai, Viola Kam (V'z Twinkle), KOH MAJIMA
In January 2020, PassCode announced that they would perform a one-man live at Nippon Budokan at the Shinkiba STUDIO COAST performance of the "CLARITY Plus Tour 19-20" final. About two years after that, there was a time when I couldn't perform live due to the corona, but in 2021 I went on a tour titled "" STRIVE "for BUDOKAN Tour 2021" with my 3rd album "STRIVE" . Among them, Yumena Imada, who had been receiving medical treatment due to poor physical condition, retired from the group, and Emily Arima joined the new system. I think there were some developments that were different from the scenario that I had envisioned in 2020, including the situation in the world, but I took the event and converted each one into a positive one on the stage of Nippon Budokan on February 12th. I was connected. The spectators who gathered on this day also chased the story drawn by PassCode, sometimes harassing. Before the performance, the audience staring at the screen and the smoked stage, which was greatly projected as "PassCode Nippon Budokan", was immersed in the feeling that this day would be realized, and also gave off a comfortable tension.
While the opening video was played and big applause echoed in the Budokan, Nao Minami, Kaede Takashima, Hinako Ogami, and Emily Arima appeared after the band. The applause at the venue became even bigger with surprise and excitement. "Nippon Budokan, let's have fun". Along with Nao Minami's words, PassCode chose the 2016 major debut song "MISS UNLIMITED" as the first song on this memorable day. Emily Arima raised the horsepower of four people with a powerful and rhythmic shout in "Toxic" to further accelerate the explosive momentum, and in the first single "Freely" after the current system. At the first MC, the four people asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?" To make sure that the members and the audience shared this place, but Nao Minami said, "How big the venue is. But I don't think it's the same as usual, "she said, and the following zones continued to throw more aggressive and chaotic songs from PassCode. From "Taking you out", which starts with a shout that raises the tension at once, and develops progressively into metallic pop, "Seize Approaching BRAND NEW ERA", which has been the engine of "movement" even in live performances for the past two years, and danceable. Following "DIVE INTO THE LIGHT". In "ONE STEP BEYOND", the lyrics were projected on the screen. This song, which sings "Endlessly build our own tomorrow," suits this day very well. In the middle of the venue, where the sense of unity has increased, we will attack with more picopico and heavy songs. From songs such as "Future's near by" and "Club Kids Never Die" where Kaede Takashima and Emily Arima engage in symmetry shouts, "rise in revolt" packed with PassCode weapons and flavors, a new system The first single "FLAVOR OF BLUE" is lined with songs from the indie era and the latest songs. The song, which is currently being updated with the ongoing PassCode and is aggressively rampaging, is also addicted to the special effects of lasers and flames.
In the middle, there was a video that tells the story of PassCode and each thought. At the height of emo, the flow to "horoscope", in which Nao Minami spelled the lyrics, resonates remarkably beautifully at this place called Nippon Budokan. I don't know the correct answer, but it's a song that overlaps with the appearance of PassCode, which has been groping for hope, and the scene where the members sang with tears is impressive. It was also dramatic to develop into "Remnants of my youth" and "STARRY SKY" to sublimate the times of melancholy.
At the MC heading to the second half, each member talked about their thoughts on this day. Kaede Takashima said, "Last year there were a lot of things that we didn't imagine. But today, so many people came to Nippon Budokan and realized that PassCode can be used as PassCode. "I did." Hinako Ogami said, "I was happy to receive messages from many people when I announced the live performance of Nippon Budokan. I thought it was the first place where I could finally give back to those who have supported me so far." I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and smiled. Emily Arima introduced herself again as "Emily Arima, who joined half a year ago" and has been shouting in a metal band since she was a teenager, but in the Japanese scene it is quite difficult for women to do shout vocals. He said he was invited by PassCode when he found it difficult. She said, "Some people may think that if we admit that the members have changed, we may deny the past, but we will not regret it at Shout, so please continue to support us." A big applause wraps around the venue. And while enjoying the scenery seen from the stage, Nao Minami said, "I'm glad that everyone who came this way saw the PassCode standing at the Budokan and supported me, and the president of the office said. I wanted to be a group that can affirm that I made PassCode and that sound producer Koji Hirachi can be proud to write songs for PassCode, but thank you for believing in me. "Masu" and "I want to carry everything on my back, not to leave the past. I'm relieved that the latest PassCode of these four people with Emily is always waiting on the stage as a cool PassCode. If you get it " Continued. It's been about two years since he declared that he would perform live at the Budokan, and he's been heading for this place. Although this day is the culmination of that, it was also reported that it is a milestone for PassCode to advance to a newer world in the future.
The final stage where "Tonight" and "Same to you" were lined up was fascinating even with a special arrangement unique to this day. In "Anything New" and the last "Ray", a total of 10 strings are sung on their backs. The sound of the loud band and heavy strings gave the familiar song a magnificent and gorgeous color, and the ending was full of festive feeling.
After the encore, in "ATLAS" using the music video when Yuna Imada was enrolled, the video of Yuna Imada and the vocal of Emily Arima on the stage are synchronized to create an emotional scene that connects the history of PassCode. And again, the comments of the four people and the video of visiting the office in Sakai, Osaka, which was the beginning, were shown. The last song of the day was "It's you" featuring Singalong, which many fans recorded and sent on their smartphones in advance, and made a big chorus at Nippon Budokan. The moment when the venue was filled with excitement and the silver tape danced, it was a time to forget that it was a live performance of Corona.
