Profile

Overview. PassCode is a four-member electronicore/metal idol group from Osaka, formed in 2013 and now signed to MoooD Records. The current lineup—Nao Minami, Kaede Takashima, Hinako Ogami, and Emily Arima—fronts a live band and has released the 2025 full album INSIGNIA. Musical style. Their sound fuses metalcore riffs, breakdowns, and harsh/clean vocal trade-offs with EDM drops and Auto-Tune—bridging J-pop hooks and pit-ready heaviness. Recent singles like “DESTINEX” (lead track of INSIGNIA) continue this hybrid approach. Recent overseas activity. In late 2024, PassCode ran an ASIA TOUR including Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Taipei (CORNER MAX), and Seoul (West Bridge Live Hall, 2 days), then wrapped with large Zepp dates in Japan that December. In 2025, activity centers on Japan—album promotion and the “DESTINY to the NEXT TOUR 2025”—with no new overseas dates officially announced as of Oct 2025.
