PassCode Reveals New Song at Arena Concert; Roll Over and Die Tie-Up to Be Released as Single Next Year

On November 9, the four-member female vocal and dance group PassCode held their arena concert PassCode YOKOHAMA BUNTAI 2025 “DESTINEX” at Yokohama BUNTAI in Kanagawa. Marking their first arena performance in about three years and nine months since their 2022 Budokan show, the event was a special occasion for both the group and their fans. On this day, they surprised the audience with the first-ever live performance of their latest song “Liberator,” announced as the opening theme for the TV anime Roll Over and Die, set to begin airing in January 2026. They also revealed that the song will be released as a single on March 4, 2026.

Published by Micro Magazine, Roll Over and Die is a dark fantasy story about the protagonist, Flum, who, despite having zero stats, is chosen by the God Origin to join the Hero's Party and continues to push forward alongside newfound companions. PassCode's opening theme “Liberator” can be heard in the anime's newly released PV.

Alongside the single announcement, PassCode unveiled a new artist photo featuring the denim-based outfits worn at Yokohama BUNTAI. The fresh visual marks a shift from their previous images, showcasing a brighter, more pop-inspired style.

It was also announced that the Yokohama BUNTAI concert will be exclusively streamed on U-NEXT, with the streaming start date to be revealed later via PassCode's official social media. Leading up to that release, several past performances will be available for unlimited streaming: PassCode ASIA TOUR 2024 Final at Zepp Osaka Bayside on November 13, PassCode presents VERSUS PASSCODE 2024 Vol.2 at Spotify O-EAST on November 27, and PassCode Zephyren 10th Anniversary A.V.E.S.T project Kodo at Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium on December 18.
