Momoiro Clover Z “Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dainana Gakushou ‘Mugen no Ai’”
Momoiro Clover Z recently released the video for their upcoming single “Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dainana Gakushou ‘Mugen no Ai’”. The video features the group in several CGI created backgrounds, riding space bicycles while wearing pirate costumes. I have to say they make for some cute space pirates.
A 16 second CM preview for Momoiro Clover Z's ninth single Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dainana Gakushou "Mugen no Ai" was uploaded on the Stardust digital channel today.
As always, Momoclo's video looks crazy, and extreme! It looks like a lot of effort was put into it. Moretsu Uchuu and LOST CHILD (The B side) will be used for the anime Moretsy Uchuu Kaizoku.

Momoiro Clover Z Draw 6,000 Fans + A Saitama Super Arena Date
The fresh faced idol units are making their move on the genre and one unit that has come a long way from their street live days is Momoiro Clover Z .Momoiro Clover Z held a live in front of 6,000 fans at Yomiuri Land. The live was a full stage presentation complete with all the things that the unit is known for and backup dancers, water guns and more as the group captivated the crowd with 21 songs of Momoiro Clover Z magic.
In regards to their pledge of a haircutting if they fell short of number ranking Shiori announced “I got my hair cut short.” while looking very much her adorable idol self.
To finish off this historic first outdoor live of the year the unit announced their biggest event to date in front of the fans and the TV Asahi film crew .On December 25 the unit will hold their first arena live at Saitama Super Arena, placing them on the same level of venue artists as Morning Musume, AKB48, SPEED and more. Momoiro Clover Z has truly arrived and are no longer the feel good Indie idols done good story. They are with the very best in the genre now.
How far will they climb we will see on December 25. Saitama will be the place to be for their fans as this unit puts on some of the highest energy off the wall lives in the industry. When you leave one of their lives, you have no energy left .They are really one of the best live units in the industry.
Yet another idol group has made a deal for idol gold.
Momoiro Clover Z while traveling around Tokyo in a specially design “Momoclo Election Car” found themselves in the heat of the moment and let their emotions get the best of them. While making a stop at Tokyo Tower to promote their first album "Battle and Romance" , MC Yamasato Ryouta proclaimed, “are there any idol groups that make you as energetic (as Momoclo)?” It was at this point that Shiori screams out “If this album isn’t number one, I’ll cut my hair!”
Momoclo had good reason to be overcome by excitement as earlier in the day 4,000 fans showed up at Shinjuku Station Square to watch the group perform a mini live.
As part of their debut album promotion Momoclo made other trips to Harajuku, Shibuya, and Aoyama explaining to fans that the album features intense, ‘battle-like’ songs to ‘romance-like’, slow songs, and that their final goal is the “Kouhaku (Uta Gassen)!”
Momoclo`s album has come out of the gates hot, but the question is if they can take the coveted top spot against strong opponents. Even if they don`t reach number one, their early sales have past Hello!Project`s recent releases ,something that is a growing trend for the fresh face idols generation.
This is what happens when your company decides to fight and spend money to make their group`s sales increase ,you go old style promoting. Something that has always pushed idols over the edge. There is one simple rule in music ,to make money you have to spend money in an effective way .It`s easy to sit back on your legacy and just pull money from a safe and secure fan base , it takes very little effort and risk to stay safe . it`s another to take bold out of the box risks ,even if you fail to reach their your goal.
Seeing an idol unit turn to old style promoting ,brings a smile to my face as it shows that their company has not forgotten were genre came from ,the streets of independents .
In the end ,Momoclo may not gain the benefits today from this campaign ,but at some point, they will and I applaud them for taking a risk to become more then what they currently are.
Momoiro Clover Z will be getting a major artist push, as they will be the featured artist on MUSIC ON! TV`s artist of the month program.
