■ Passpi
Formed in 2009 with Narita Haneda (keyboards) as the core member. The band name is derived from a piece by French musician Debussy. They have attracted attention for their outstanding musical theory and technique, their pop sense that simultaneously digests music from all eras from the 70s to the 00s, and the music videos and artwork by vocalist Okuda Natsuki. They debuted in 2011 with their first mini album “Watashi Kaikashitawa”. Since then, they have performed at many large rock festivals, held their own event series “Impression” in a band-versus-band format, and held solo tours across the country, receiving rave reviews.
