The all-female vocal and dance group PassCode will release INSIGNIA, their first full album in approximately four and a half years, on June 18. Ahead of the release, one of the new tracks, “DESTINEX,” will be available early on various music streaming platforms starting May 21. In addition, the album’s cover artwork and full tracklist have been revealed.
“DESTINEX” also serves as the title song for PassCode’s long-awaited arena concert, PassCode YOKOHAMA BUNTAI 2025 “DESTINEX,” scheduled for November. The title conveys the meaning of “beyond a predetermined fate.” Before the song was produced, the group launched a sing-along project, gathering voices from fans around the world. Their passionate chorus is featured in the track, creating a powerful collaboration between the members and their fans.
The full album INSIGNIA includes standout tracks such as “Freely / FLAVOR OF BLUE,” which left a strong impression following Emily Arima’s addition to the group in August 2021, along with live staples like “Clouds Across The Moon” and “GROUNDSWELL.” Also featured are “WILLSHINE,” the opening theme for the second season of the anime SHY, and “SKILLAWAKE,” the opening theme for the second season of As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World. In addition to the lead “DESTINEX,” the album also includes five powerful new songs: “MIRAGE WALKER,” “VIRIVIRI,” “One Time Only,” “A certain Motor-Heart is not working right!” and “Echoes.” There’s no doubt this album marks a new pinnacle in PassCode’s career.

They have a versatile repertoire based on a band sound, punctuated by their distinctive shouts and screams, and have performed at numerous major festivals such as SUMMER SONIC and ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, earning broad support from both rock enthusiasts and idol fans.
After making their major debut in 2016, they released their first international album Ex Libris PassCode in America, Europe, and Canada under the UK’s JPU Records in October 2018. The track “Ichikabachika” from their 2019 album CLARITY was selected as the opening theme for the TV drama Kakegurui season 2 and the movie Kakegurui. In 2020, their single “STARRY SKY,” which was chosen as the theme song for the drama 182 Days Left, earned them their first-ever No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Single Chart and Billboard JAPAN Weekly Single Chart. They also made their debut appearance on Nippon Broadcasting System’s All Night Nippon 0.
In February 2022, they held their first concert at Nippon Budokan. In 2023, they embarked on their first US tour, “PassCode US / JAPAN TOUR 2023 -GROUNDSWELL-,” which included stops in Dallas, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as 11 cities and 12 venues in Japan. In June 2024, they moved to Bandai Namco Music Live. Their September release “WILLSHINE” was chosen as the OP theme for season 2 of the anime SHY, and their new song “SKILLAWAKE” was selected as the OP theme for season 2 of As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World. Looking ahead, their first arena concert in about three years, PassCode YOKOHAMA BUNTAI 2025 “DESTINEX”, is scheduled for November 2025.
