Attention Please. It’s PASSPO☆’s Pink, Makoto Okunaka also known as Makocchan.

While we are holding “Kessei 5 Shuunen Count Up Tour” now…

I have an announcement for all Passengers (fans).

I, Makoto Okunaka, have decided that I will graduate from PASSPO☆ at the final performance of this tour.

In these 5 years, there were many fun experiences but, also many sad and frustrating experiences as well.

“Shoujo Hikou” got ranked #1 in the Oricon Weekly Ranking.
In addition to PASSPO☆’s activities, there was also Kamen Rider Wizard.

Meeting with Ground Crew.
Then, saying forever good bye to Yoko-san (bass player for Ground Crew)…

I could experience many different things because I was part of PASSPO☆

While PASSPO☆’s activities were really fun, I worried about my own future.

I would like to become more active as an actress in the future so…
My dream of becoming an actress has caused me to feel impatient.

I have been a member of PASSPO☆ for 5 years.
and, I am now 20 years old.

I came to think that I want to challenge myself in another stage.

It’s my first time to make such a big decision on my own.
It’s not clear now … if its right or wrong but…

But, because I made this decision, because I’m alive now, with all of my ability,
I want to make it a decision with no regrets!

I will graduate from this group on January 1st, next year.

There is a long, long road ahead of PASSPO☆ and for me as well.
I would like to keep going on that road, step by step.

Please continue to support PASSPO☆ from now on.
