Yellow is Shiori~ (Shiorin).

Why do you not want to like them?

I don't have time or money to get "into" more idol groups. This is another reason why I am avoiding AKB <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

You would like AKB, out of 60+ girls, there's no one named Eri or Erina, or any other Eri name. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> The closest it gets is Erena, she graduated last year. (And I just checked the site and it seems there's a new KKS named Erena).



And Momoclo is like S/mileage~

But H!P has been reduced to a fairly casual hobby for me. I'm only really following S/mileage and Morning Musume (and sometimes Buono and Mano). Even that is kind of taxing on my time. I just want small doses of mindless cute fun and I'm too old to make the effort to learn new things :grumpyoldperson:

[Anderei]

There really isn't too much to learn about MomoClo. All you need to know are their names and that they're awesome. There isn't even years and years worth of discography to check out.

I'm getting shades of Mr. Moonlight and I Wish while I watch that. It's awesome and just awesome and I LOVE the song. But it makes me feel like I'm just going to miss Eyebrows even more when she gets into that rap. T_T

[/quote]



I just compared them and they are too similar for it not to be either a tribute to Mr. Moonlight, or they are both referencing some old movie that did the same thing. You have the purplish background (really, purplish is acceptable by the spell checker?) with the fake buildings, you have the girl on the flower swing, and obviously the styling from a similar era. Yeah, I see I Wish in the shabby costumes and their presence. Go Girl! Koi no Victory comes to mind with the frozen & rotating bowling scenes, but MM probably got that from somewhere too. I don't care if it's ripping off anything, it brings good memories and they're doing something fun. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Also, there were parts of the dance in Chai Max that made me think of Chokkan. (the moving backward and forward dance)



The randomness of their songs is very refreshing.



Z Densetsu -Owarinaki Kakumei is pretty amazing. Their dances are so action packed.

Oh, ENG SUBs, this is hilarious.

Densetsu Z PV preview

[EmEl]

Linking to the official version usually works out better.

[tsukinobyouin]

I feel like this song is supposed to be their replacement "theme song" for Ikuze and it's just not as awesome. The PV is adorable and funny, all the MomoClo attitude is there, but the song itself just doesn't feel like a song to me? Too disjointed and talk-y. But then again I said that about Only You at first and now I love that song. So who knows, maybe this will grow on me.

[surasshu]

Hyadain can do no wrong. REPENT, TnB!! *insert crazy-eyed tentacle-arms smiley here*



Yeah I just really like this song, it's so cute and funny. Even though it's kinda talky in the verses, the bridge and chorus are really well-composed and hit the spot for me. Yay~ The video seems to be COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, which is pretty cool too!

[Shoujo Q]

I like the song, but I thought that preview was lacking. I loved the live version more.

[Anderei]

New profile pic.





And it's June 4th in Japan which means Shiori turned 16 <3

[aisasami]

I like the PV as it has helped me to get me out of the funk of missing Akari. I really like the verses, especially with Reni's and Momoka's as those two are pure awesome (and I think Momoka is becoming my new favorite). I hope there will be a full version out soon because I love the concept as I am a sucker of Super Sentai and ripoffs.

[Farrah]

LOL forever at the terrible photoshopping on their arms, haha. I do quite enjoy this group, though.

[Prettycatchy]

I liked the idea of them playing with the Super Sentai theme now that they are 5 members. However, I felt that they were trying too hard to make sure we knew that they were now called Momoiro Clover Z.



I miss the crazy hyperness that was in Ikuze Kaitou Shoujo. >.<

[Anderei]

D no Junjou PV (LQ)



I love it.

[momoirosaya]

Here's the HQ PV

[Anderei]

Z Densetsu's PV is out as well



They even make a reference to Akari, which was cute.

[Melon]

They win the PV race by several hundred miles. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lmfao:' />

[Prettycatchy]

Loving D no Junjou. <3



I'm not sure how to take the Akari reference. The first time I watched the PV for Z Densetsu, I thought it was way too lighthearted than it should be. I guess I'll need to watch the live version to fall in love with the song in general.

[surasshu]

I thought the Akari reference was really cute when I saw it in the live, but it could be seen as a bit too goofy. Then again that's kinda what they're known for, and this song is so silly that I think the reference is respectful by default (unless they continued by singing "glad she's gone", lol). And D no Junjou is an awesome song! Can't wait for a better quality version of it.

[Prettycatchy]

I've checked the tracklistings for Z Densetsu and D' no Junjou and it looks like they are one track each. Does anyone know if there will be instrumentals or coupling tracks?

[Anderei]

I haven't heard anything about any coupling tracks or instrumentals.



Battle and Romance Regular Cover



Limited Edition A



Limited Edition B



All first press editions come with an event raffle ticket.



So, can we switch the covers for LE A and LE B? Because I'd love LE A with B's cover.

This, so much this. :(

[strawberryjam]

I found this when I was looking through Zipper August 2011.







I'm pretty sure this is the girl that graduated, right? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> Well, enjoy!

[Farrah]

Ugh, she is so insanely gorgeous. She, Momoka and Shiori were the only members I ever cared about.

[Anderei]

Cute how blue still seems to be her color. I've seen quite a few other magazine scans of her. Maybe she should consider modeling instead of acting.

You're supposed to buy both! Look, they're facing off against each other if you put them together.



As for Akari, I'm pretty sure she's gonna try to do both modelling and acting.

[Anderei]

I would love to buy both, but I'm on a budget and you just can't pass up six solo songs. I may have to put off buying it until I get paid at the end of the summer though but I fully intend to buy it at some point.



Also crying at my beloved Momoka being all the way in the back.

[Prettycatchy]

I'm so glad that Akari is still in the media world. My blue forever. <3

[EmEl]

It's been around for a couple days, but if you haven't seen it, the album tracklist is out.

I know that in May I said it would have 12 songs, but there's a bonus track. No complaining (its title doesn't really sound like a song though).



Battle and Romance:

1. Z Densetsu ~Owarinaki Kakumei~
2. Contradiction
3. Mirai Bowl
4. Wani to Shampoo
5. Pinky Jones
6. Kimi no Ato
7. D' no Junjou
8. Ame no Tachikara wo
9. Orange Note
10. Ikuze! Kaito Shoujo
11. Stardust Serenade
12. Kono Uta
13. ＜Bonus Track＞ MomoClo no Nippon Banzai!

I had the preview for Kono Uta before. Here's 20 seconds of "Wani to Shampoo". And here's the "Kimi no Ato" that I saw. Or you can see the one without the atrocious outfits that I had to see. I hope this is the worst song on the album. And if it is, it will be a great album.



Also, look at track 9. I love Shiori and she adorably has managed to take over Akari's part in it, but I really hope this is the Akari version.



Speaking of Shiori happening to wear blue, here she is as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Finally, in regards to the real blue girl, here's a list I found of all the recent publications Akari's been in. I don't really look for scans, so perhaps these are out there or perhaps she's not a large part of them all. I don't really know. This entry on her blog seems to preview some of them.



So-en (July)

Zipper (July)

Gekkan De☆View (July)

Liniere (August)

metro min. (July)

Zipper (August)

SPUR (August)



EDIT: more magazines



Men's Non-no (August)

smart (September)

RUBYPAPER (Aug 31)

[tsukinobyouin]

I'm excited for Wani to Shampoo, that's such a great song title. I don't know how I feel about it from the preview, it's too short for me to tell. Kimi no Ato isn't terrible, but ballads aren't their strong suit. I agree though, if that's the worst song then it's going to be a good album.



If Orange Note doesn't have Akari, then it's not really Orange Note. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />
