I think this really contributes to the overall consistency of PassCode\u2019s live shows. We\u2019ve grown together over time, and I feel like our appeal has only gotten stronger. Each member has a unique personality, but there\u2019s a strong sense of unity, which makes things interesting.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt40\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-12 pa0\">\n<div class=\"hex hex-chevron ml30\">\n            <!--S\u014dhei Matsuura hex--><\/p>\n<div class=\"hex-rotate\">\n<div class=\"hex-bg\">\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 col-xs-12\">\nI think the line between our work mode and our downtime has blurred in a good way, and that\u2019s what\u2019s pushing PassCode forward in a positive direction.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt40\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-12 pa0\">\n<div class=\"hex hex-chevron ml30\">\n            <!--S\u014dhei Matsuura hex--><\/p>\n<div class=\"hex-rotate\">\n<div class=\"hex-bg\">\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 col-xs-12\">\nI think we balance each other\u2019s strengths and weaknesses really well and complement each other perfectly. What\u2019s great is that everyone takes pride in the group and performs with genuine love for it. While we\u2019re all active and energetic on stage, offstage we tend to be a bit shy and quiet, which creates an interesting contrast (laughs).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt40\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-12 pa0\">\n<div class=\"hex hex-chevron ml30\">\n            <!--S\u014dhei Matsuura hex--><\/p>\n<div class=\"hex-rotate\">\n<div class=\"hex-bg\">\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 col-xs-12\">\nWhen we\u2019re in work mode, we\u2019re a group that really values live performances.

There\u2019s a line in the anime that says something like, \u201cYou can\u2019t save everyone, but maybe you can save some lives.\u201d In the same way, I hope PassCode\u2019s music can give people that little push they need.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt40\">\n<div class=\"col-md-2 col-md-offset-1 col-xs-12 pa0\">\n<div class=\"hex hex-chevron ml30\">\n            <!--S\u014dhei Matsuura hex--><\/p>\n<div class=\"hex-rotate\">\n<div class=\"hex-bg\">\n                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-8 col-xs-12\">\nEven though this song was made for the anime, it still keeps PassCode\u2019s unique style.
