I'm still in shock. I don't know how to react. I'm feeling like a void inside.

Report about Yuna Imada
Thank you very much for your warm support to PassCode.

We would like to inform you about Yuna Imada, who has been suspended since July due to her poor health.
As a result of repeated discussions with the members and staff, and respecting her wishes, we regret to inform you that she will retire from PassCode and the entertainment industry as of today, August 3.

I would like to make this announcement as a colleague who has spent a lot of time and effort with me, and to express my heartfelt respect for her great achievements and her new beginning.

We sincerely apologize for the timing of this announcement to Yuna Imada and to all the fans who have warmly supported PassCode.

We hope that you will continue to watch PassCode and Yuna Imada with warmth.
Thank you very much for your continued support.

Comment from Yuna Imada
First of all, I'm sorry for suspending our activities in the middle of our tour, while there are many people who have been looking forward to it.
I, Yuna Imada, have decided to quit PassCode as of today, August 3.

When I first started working as PassCode, I had so much fun, my head was filled with PassCode every day, and I loved it so much that I wanted to do live shows every day! After September 2017, I had to take a break due to a cystic mass on my ovary, and after I came back, I became more and more anxious about the stage and activities, and I lost my mental and physical balance.

I knew I had to do it. I knew I had to do it, but my mind wouldn't follow me and my body wouldn't move. What if I fail at the live again? What if I cause trouble for everyone? On days when I had gigs or work to do, all I could think about was that, and I became anxious and afraid of the gigs that I loved so much, so I caused a lot of worry and trouble.

Even so, the people and hackers who came to play with us. The members and staff who have continued to support us even though we have had many conflicts and discussions.
Thank you so much.
That's the only reason I've been able to continue this far.
I still regret that it turned out this way and that I could only make this choice, but I know that Yachii, Kaede and Hinako will do their best to make PassCode even cooler. I hope so.

I think people's feelings can touch my heart so much. I'm so grateful to PassCode for making me think that people's feelings can touch my heart.
I should have been in a position to convey energy and happy feelings, but all I got was what everyone gave me until the end.

Thank you so much!
I hope you'll continue to support PassCode.

Yuna Imada

Comment from Nao
Our member Yuna has decided to retire. I've been trying to continue PassCode with the four of us for as long as possible, asking many people to forgive me for a situation that would normally be incomprehensible. Maybe even that thought had become a burden for her at some point.

We've spent many years together, days when we couldn't do anything but try our best. She has been standing on the stage no matter what the situation is, but if she decides to get off the stage, I would like to respect her decision. I sincerely hope that Yuna's future will be a happy one for her.

There is not a single lie in the six years we have been saying that the four of us are PassCode. Even so, we have decided to continue with PassCode. Of course, I don't think it will be easy for people to accept us. No matter what people think, no matter what they say, if they see us live, they will be convinced, and I think our utmost sincerity in choosing to continue is to be a PassCode that can return more than that. If we can only protect ourselves by changing, we will do everything we can to keep the group PassCode alive.

"You can't take away my name even if the answer you led is different from someone else's. As the lyrics of "Ray" say, "The cheers that don't stop give us the color of freedom," I have been saved by your cheers many times. I really want to hear your voice again.

I hope you'll continue to watch over PassCode and Yuna Imada.

Thank you very much for your warm support.
I joined PassCode with Yuna in 2014, and we've been through a lot of events hand in hand until today.
I think the person who has been struggling the most has been wondering how to face things that cannot be overcome by feelings alone, and what is the right thing to do.
I think the voices of her fans definitely helped her and gave her a reason to keep trying. Yuna was strong and wonderful as she continued to challenge herself on stage like this.
I think it takes a lot of courage to change something or make a decision, but if she has made up her mind, I want her to carry that thought with her and move forward.
I think it's natural that people won't accept our decision right away, but we'll keep working hard without fear of change so that our fans and Yuna will be relieved when they see us on stage.

There are still a lot of things we have left to do as PassCode, and I hope you will continue to support us.

Comment from Hinako Ogami
Thank you for always supporting PassCode.

I've been working by Yuna's side, and I've seen a lot of her struggles and efforts. It's been frustrating at times. I believe that she has come to this decision after a lot of thought. So, I decided to respect her decision.
The six years that the four of us have been together will never disappear and will always be my pride. Thank you, Yuna, for all your hard work and dedication.

I had many choices about what to do with PassCode, but I came to feel "I don't want PassCode to disappear" and "I want to see many more scenes with people who support us", and I came to want to protect PassCode.
The future may be different from what everyone had imagined. The new form may not be accepted right away, but I hope that one day people will be glad that they supported us. For now, I'd like to keep moving forward without stopping.

PassCode will keep going. We hope to see many more sights with you. Thank you for your continued support.

poor yuna, i hope her health problems aren't too severe and that she improves with time away from the spotlight. i can't imagine how she's feeling ... this isn't just a blow to passcode and hackers, but yuna as well. it must be devastating

and i'm so sorry, yachii. i know how badly it can hurt when members leave your favorite groups :yolk:

I got the impression that her ailments are more emotional than physical. She is a shy girl with the pressures of standing in front of an audience to sing and dance; and it's an issue that has been growing over the years. Now that the biggest concert is approaching, fear of failure should have been killing her. I guess she couldn't take it any longer.

This is extremely sad, and I can't imagine how hard it is for you, Yachii.
You love them so much and loved getting others into them. I had listened to their music just a couple of days ago and it is amazing.
I have had some disturbed dreams waking up suffocating. Each time I remember Yuna's harsh voice will never be recorded again, I get some trouble breathing. I get terribly nostalgic. I'm getting better. I've been using emotional release techniques that I've learned years ago. I have no choice but to let her go and look forward to know who will replace her.

However, I don't think Yuna can be properly replaced. She's a legend; the best idol screamer that Japan has seen. PassCode will not be the same.
