PASSPO☆‘s Makoto Okunaka and Sako Makita held their slightly early coming-of-age ceremony today at Nogi Shrine in Tokyo, with Miwako Kakei and Eri Oishi who are belong to the same entertainment office group.
After the ceremony of prayer in the main shrine, the four new adults appeared in front of the press. All of them wore kimono, so they looked so beautiful.
When a person reaches 20 years of age, they are considered to be an adult in Japan. Drinking alcohol is permitted from this age and the right to vote are also given.
Okunaka, who made a hot topic with her appearance in Kamen Rider Wizard last year, shared her hopes of twenty saying “I will continue to be concentrated on PASSPO☆’s activities, but I hope to be active as an actress, too. Though I was glad to play the one role in Kamen Rider all the year round in 2013, I’d like to be an actress who can play various roles this year.”
Sako Makita also said, “2014 is the 4th year of PASSPO☆, I hope it would be a year of progress.” In addition, she also shared the impression of her first drinking, “I drank beer for the first time the other day, but I could drink only a little amount. I can’t belive that everyone drink beer as if they drank water. So, I want to know the deliciousness of beer soon.”
Well, PASSPO☆ will be releasing their new single (currently untitled) on March 26. Stay tuned to their success!
