Momoiro Clover

It's funny that it's those two. I've always felt they look quite similar. Kanako certainly is quite the ordinary teenage girl in her actions, especially getting excited at silly things that aren't big deals. The whole group really is pretty down-to-earth. I guess this was a meeting of the leaders. I wonder what it's for? They've had joint media appearances before. MomoClo loves S/mileage though, so I guess it's nice.

They had a photoshoot, just the two of them I think.

Well, I know that much from your translation. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Sorry, I guess I was just musing about the specifics because she said it was like a dialogue. Since 撮影 can sometimes mean filming, right? I figured it could be anything.

It was a VERY BAD idea to give in and download the Akari graduation concert during this time of the month. Because the last concert killed me with the tears. Now my eyes are all red and puffy dammit! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



I'll post other comments later but one thing -



solo Akari holy shit so fierce and awesome. It made me go wtf when Ayaka made her entrance hahaha. I'll miss her persona a lot.



Out of boredom I found this on dannychoo. The photos are pretty, though I'm sad he went to the day show, which of course showcased the hilarious wrestling, but taken out of context...

[surasshu]

YAY I just arrived in the Netherlands and found this in my inbox!







So with some delay since I wasn't here to pick it up until now--thanks, anonymous friend :3 <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[EmEl]

Christmas day will be a release of their album on vinyl.

That person must know you like Maeyamada. It seems every song on those three CDs was made by him! (Of course, he's looking down at the CDs from your twitter feed as well.)

[surasshu]

Good ol' Hyadain. Has his "Santa-san" Christmas song for MomoClo been leaked/shown/etc. yet?

[boinsie]

So is the Santa-san b-side to their upcoming single by Hyadain, then?

[surasshu]

Hmm, not sure! He mentioned it on his Twitter, that seems to be the only info out there...

[Shoujo Q]

It's a PV for Roudou Sanka. [Tokyohive has the full tracklist for all the editions of the single.]



Not feeling the song, but the PV's entertaining enough.





... I still miss Akari.

[tsukinobyouin]

I'm not feeling the song yet either. I don't dislike it at all, but it doesn't grab me either. The PV is lots of fun, though something about Kanako bugs me throughout. She seems sort of...not herself? I can't quite put my finger on it, but she keeps making these stock idol pouty faces that seem fake and just not...her.

[Melon]

Another PV for Mr. Santa that's full of happiness and rainbows! No, really, I love the energy they have. It's like a cute, non-annoying Momoko. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' />

[Mukuro]

I love how they included their song Coconuts in, because I was actually thinking the chorus sounded suspiciously like it.

I love this video it just makes the song even better~

[tsukinobyouin]

As a stand-alone song all of the Sansansansansansansan could get annoying fast, but as a PV it's adorable and hilarious. Classic Maeyamada and Momoclo goodness. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[tsukinobyouin]

Sorry to double post.



This is Em-El's fault.

[surasshu]

Haha, woo!!



Great Santa-san song too!

[Haru]

Momoiro made YouTube front page.



I like it, but those are ugly costumes. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[Melon]

Yeah, I always think their costumes trend on the ugly side too <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[EmEl]

The best part is the common link that shows itself in Hyadain's new PV for his Christmas song that comes out on the same day. Hey, that intro seems familiar.



Also, despite petit thinking their costumes trend on the ugly side, TnB, your dress which is based on their costumes is かわいすぎる.

I AM IN LOVE. (no seriously, I'm in love) <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> That man, that man, he so awesome~



Yeah, they're based so that means they cut out the crazy over the top accessories/fru fru that makes them trend ugly. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' /> TnB looks so cute, I'm so jelly and I was afraid to admit it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[surasshu]

TnB is the best <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



Yes, Hyadain's new video is insanely funny, what a great guy. Although less funny, I really like Ano Hi no Boku E with the DNA video as well (it's the c/w for the christmas single).



Seems like someone tried to sub the Santa-san video, not sure if it's all correct, some of it is a bit iffy, but it helps me appreciate it more at least! Here's Rodo Sanka too. I hope the appearance of subs for a not-yet released single means they are getting more popular!

[tsukinobyouin]

Oh suuuuure now everyone is trying to backtrack. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />



Just kidding. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I love the dress but I also have no idea why I bought it. There is not really an appropriate occasion to wear it other than a MomoClo concert, and I do not live in Japan. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



I do tend to like their costumes though. I think the over-the-top-ness fits the group. I'm glad that they stick with it rather than going back and forth between goofy outfits and ones that are supposed to look sexy or cool like Hello! Project does.



The subs are accurate, just...in poor English. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I like that they took the effort to sub all those Santa san sansansansansan Santa sansansansansansansansansansan lines.

[surasshu]

I totally agree, I forgot to mention that. The crazier the better, and MomoCloZ really represents that fun-lovin' attitude, and their outfits and dances and everything reflects it! Then again, that's coming from a huge Norazo fan, so maybe I'm not the ultimate purveyor of good taste.



You can always wear it for Halloween or something... :3

Oh, you know why.

[Melon]

I think their spastic dances are my favorite parts, not so much the outfits they're in doing them. I loved the simplicity of Sanka in contrast, but I'll admit their insanesugarrushchihuahua-style dancing looks odd in it. I will continue to wish more cute upon them because they remind me of puppies. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



I have never heard of Norazo before, but now I do and now I have something new to dote on. Thank you surasshu!



How long as Shiori's hair been short? She looks so adorable. Short haired idols are my weakness, I'll admit it. Also I want Hyadain thread. :(

Since about the release of the album or so. She said she's cut her hair short if it didn't get number 1.

[surasshu]

Kabakism pointed out to me that the lyrics of Rodo Sanka were written by "cult musician" Kenji Otsuki, who made several OP songs for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. He described him as "the hero of the Japanese otaku". <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



Speaking of which, can anyone explain the punchline in the chorus, that was translated in that video as "If you just gaze at your hands even a handful of sand would spill"? Is that an expression of some kind? I guess it means like "don't sit around doing nothing or it's wasteful" but it just seems like a really idiosyncratic thing to say (and I could be wrong about that meaning, even).

[aisasami]

I picked up November's issue of Young Jump last when I was in NYC and was excited to see Momoclo in it. But, not excited to see it was only for a couple of pages and the cover. I am too lazy to scan the pages but someone else has them for download.



Hey, Em-El, did you attend the Momoclo secret live that YJ sponsored?

[boinsie]

(In regards to TnB's adorable Momoclo shot) I had no idea those were dresses! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/w00t.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':w00t:' />



Very cute. I'd probably wear it around town~ xD



I'm in the boat of liking the Santa-san outfits, btw. They're so poofy... fiberfill being used in a costume can only have good results. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hawhaw.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hawhaw:' /> The more I see Roudou Sanka's the more I wish they'd have done different things with the ties (one on head, one on arm, one on actual neck? etc), or had at least started out in the video dressed normally and slowly progressed into drunken salaryman mode. Oh well. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

It looks nice on Hyadain, at least.

[Haru]

I never thought I could love a MomoKuro without Akarin. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> But somehow I have managed to do such.

[Anderei]

I'm watching the Summer Dive 2011 ~Gokurakumon kara Konnichiwa~ concert they had. The quality is awesome and they performed all of their album songs. If you have a jpopsuki account, I would torrent it. It's worth a watch.



There's also a guy in the crowd wearing Kanako's Z Densetsu costume and he looks wasted. I laughed.
