So fun facts:
A year ago, I discovered PASSPO☆ - a super fun Japanese idol group. Now, normally idol music is really not my thing. But PASSPO☆ just so happen to make music that is pure super fun pop punk goodness and I can't help but listen to it all the time. And their gimmick is they are flight attendants, and I'm a bit of a sucker for gimmicks. Anyways, their album Cinema Trip is brilliant. Second best album of 2017, in my opinion.
So a year ago they released their last single, Stand Up Girls! (すてんだっぷガールズ！～第1話 ダメダメ怪獣にご用心～). It was my first exposure to PASSPO☆. It is awesome.
Today, their song Bachelorette wa Owaranai (バチェロレッテは終わらない) has become my most played song in iTunes, knocking 3eb's Shipboard Cook off the top spot after 3 years. I haven't even had the Cinema Trip album in my iTunes for a year - it's just that darn fun.
And today, PASSPO☆ will perform their final concert.
It's kind of my own little PASSPO☆ circle. I'm sad they are disbanding, but that just seems to be what happens to every Japanese band I become a fan of. I was disappointed to miss them in concert during my trips to Japan and now I won't get the chance. But at least I will always have their super fun pop punk music to make smile. And it's ever so fitting that they take the top spot in my iTunes library on the day they go their separate ways.
Safe travels, PASSPO☆. Logman is your passenger for life!
