Momoiro Clover Z (ももいろクローバーZ, Momoiro Kurōbā Zetto), commonly abbreviated as Momoclo (ももクロ, momokuro), is a Japanese idol group, composed of five girls. They are known for energetic performances, incorporating elements of ballet, gymnastics, and action movies.[1] A 2013 survey ranked the group as number one among female idol groups at that time.[2]

History

2008-2009: Conception and beginnings

Formed in the spring of 2008 by the Stardust Promotion talent agency, and officially debuting as a six-member unit a year later, the band was originally named Momoiro Clover ("Pink Clover" or, literally, "Peach Clover"). The name was chosen to imply that the band was composed of innocent girls who wanted to bring happiness to people.[3][4][5][6] In 2011, after the departure of Akari Hayami from the group, management added the letter "Z" to the group's name.[7][8] The group's slogan is "Idols you can meet right now" (いま、会えるアイドル, Ima, aeru aidoru), and members are said to participate in the production process.[9]

Momoiro Clover began activity as a street act in 2008 performing for bystanders in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park. Members have recalled in interviews that sometimes few people would stop to watch.[9] As most members are students attending school on weekdays, group activity occurred mainly on weekends, leading them to be nicknamed "Weekend Heroines" (週末ヒロイン, Shūmatsu Hiroin).[9][10][11]

In a one-year period, the group had a number of line-up changes. In November, 2009, Yukina Kashiwa, Akari Hayami, and Ayaka Sasaki joined as new members[12] and on November 24 unveiled live a new song titled "Momoiro Punch".[13] When Kashiwa left on March 9 of the next year,[14] they became a five-member "unit" composed of Reni Takagi, Kanako Momota, Akari Hayami, Shiori Tamai, and Ayaka Sasaki.

To support and promote their first indie single, "Momoiro Punch", the band took advantage of school holidays from May to August and went by minibus on a long tour across Japan, from Hokkaido to Fukuoka. They gave a total of 104 concerts in 24 electronic stores of the Yamada Denki network. The tour was titled "Yamada Denki Presents: Momoiro Clover Japan Tour 2009 Momoiro Typhoon!" The girls slept in the minivan, and group's managers drove.[9] On July 26, 2009, in the middle of the tour[15] and shortly before the release of the aforementioned first indie single, Momoka Ariyasu was added to the group as a sixth member.[16] The single was scheduled to be released on July 22, but was postponed until August 5.[17] It was sold only at the group's live events and those sales were enough for it to place 11th in the Oricon Daily Singles Chart and 23rd in the weekly chart.[18] A second single, "Mirai e Susume!", was released in November.[18]

2010-2011: Battle and Romance

On March 3, Momoiro Clover signed a contract with Universal Records. The public contract signing ceremony featured the weighing of every member to determine if they passed the weight requirement set by the record label for idols. If the band passed the requirement, they would sign a permanent contract. Reni Takagi failed, resulting in a temporary contract. At the same ceremony, the girls stated their goals for the year: to take first place on Oricon, to participate in Kōhaku Uta Gassen, to perform at Budokan and shake hands with all the fans who came.[19] Universal released Momoiro Clover's first major-label single on May 5. "Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo" was written, composed and arranged by Kenichi Maeyamada. From March 6, the group toured Japan in support of the single.[20] The single debuted on Japan's Oricon Daily Singles Chart at the first position, and at number 3 for the week.[18][21]

In August, the Momoiro Clover "mockumentary" horror movieShirome was released.[22] During filming, the girls were reportedly led to believe they were participating in a documentary about an urban legend and that everything happening was genuine.[23][24][25][26][27]

After one single with Universal, the group moved to King Records. The group's first single with King was "Pinky Jones", composed by Narasaki from the Japanese rock band Coaltar of the Deepers with a "more chaotic" approach than previous songs. At the August 23 launch event, the girls appeared in wedding dresses, intended to symbolize their "marriage" to King Records.[28] "Pinky Jones" topped at daily number 6 and weekly number 8.[18]

December 24 marked Momoiro Clover's first solo concert at a concert hall. Nihon Seinenkan, a venue with a capacity of 1,300 seats, was sold out in 30 minutes.[18][29]

Akari Hayami's "graduation" performance; April, 2011.

On January 16, 2011 at the release event for a new song titled "Mirai Bowl", sub-leader Akari Hayami stated that she had decided to "graduate" (withdraw) from the group in April. Akari explained that her character was not suited to being an idol and that her dream was to become an actress.[30]

The last single with Hayami, titled "Mirai Bowl / Chai Maxx", was released on March 7 and placed 3rd in the Oricon weekly charts,[18] repeating the group's top position to date. On March 27, Momorio Clover released its first live DVD, which contained the recording of their first concert given last December.[31][32]

At the April 10 Akari Hayami "graduation" concert, the group's management announced the name change to Momoiro Clover Z after Akari's departure.[33][34][35][36] Momoiro Clover Z' first single after Akari's departure was Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei, accompanied by a new group image and stage performance which reportedly impacted fans at the time.[37] The girls wore outfits with helmets and so-called "transformation belts" reminiscent of Japanese superhero movies, and the music video also borrowed from such "Super Sentai" imagery.[37]

On July 27, Momoiro Clover released their first album, Battle and Romance. Later in December, Hotexpress described the band as the number-one breakthrough idol artist of 2011 and stated that the album became a big turning point for them.[1] Next February, Battle and Romance won the Grand Prix at the CD Shop Awards as the best CD of the year selected by music shop employees from all over the country. Momoiro Clover were the first idols to win the award.[38][39]

On Christmas Day, 2011, Momoiro Clover Z gave a concert at Saitama Super Arena to their biggest audience to date: all 10,000 tickets were sold out.[40]

2012-2013: 5th Dimension

In May 2012 Momoiro Clover Z performed at a youth festival organized by the Malaysian government.[where?] Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak personally greeted the group. [41][dead link] On June 17, Momoiro Clover Z opened a national tour with a show at NHK Hall in Tokyo. The tour closed with a sold-out show at Seibu Dome on August 5 to a capacity crowd of 37,000 fans. Both dates were broadcast live to selected cinemas across Japan, the latter also to Taiwan and Hong Kong. [42][43][44][45][46] During the tour, the group also took part in Yubi Matsuri, an idol festival produced by Rino Sashihara of the group HKT48. The concert was held at Nippon Budokan before a crowd of 8,000 people and featured numerous girl groups including Idoling!!!, Tokyo Girls' Style, Nogizaka46, and Buono!.[47][48]

Live at Japan Expo 2012 in Paris.

Momoiro Clover's eighth single "Otome Sensō" came out on July 27, 2012; its lyrics can be interpreted as the start of a war for the top of the charts against other idol groups.[49] The group also recorded an ending theme song for Pokémon's Best Wishes series (titled "Mite Mite Kocchichi" and included in the same CD single as a coupling track).[49]

In July, Momoiro Clover performed at Japan Expo 2012 in Paris.[50] At the event, the group announced that it would be providing the theme music for the new Sailor Moon anime due to be released in summer of 2013.[51]

The group's ninth single "Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimitachi yo", which appeared on November 21, topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart,[52] becoming their first single to do so.

On December 31, the group performed at Kōhaku Uta Gassen, an annual New-Year-Eve music show hosted by NHK, for the first time.[53] Going to Kōhaku had been the group's goal for a long time.[54]

During the January 1 Ustream broadcast, the group made several announcements: that the band set a new goal for itself — to give a concert at the National Olympic Stadium, an arena with 60–70,000 capacity, that they will release a new album in spring and that Momoka Ariyasu had to undergo a throat treatment and she would not sing or even talk until the end of January.[55][56] The treatment was subsequently prolonged for another month, until the end of February. During Momoiro Clover's live Ustream broadcasts, Momoka communicated by drawing and writing on a markerboard. At live performances, other members took turns in singing her parts.[57][58]

Meanwhile on January 19, during a live event, the group announced that the band's second full-length album will be released on April 10 and that from March 12, the band would go on a live tour with six performances in Osaka, Nagoya, and Sapporo.[59] The album title was later revealed to be 5th Dimension.[60] In the beginning of February, it was also announced that Momoiro Clover would hold a concert at Nissan Stadium on August 4. Nissan Stadium has a capacity of 72,327, surpassing the National Olympic Stadium the band was aiming for.[61]

5th Dimension sold 102,855 copies in its first day[62] and 180,000 copies in the first week and debuted on top of the Oricon charts, with Momoiro Clover's first album Battle and Romance resurging to number two.[63]

2014

The band is providing both the opening and closing theme songs for the upcoming Sailor Moon anime.[64]

Two concert dates have been announced for March, 2014, at Tokyo's National Olympic Stadium, achieving the goal set in January, 2013.[65] Momoiro Clover Z will also record the theme song of the upcoming film Akumuchan; The Movie. The group previously sang the theme song of the 11-episode Akumuchan TV Drama in 2012 (Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimitachi yo), and group member Shiori Tamai also appeared in the series as the character "Yumenoke", a role she is expected to reprise.[66]

Music style

The band's songs are intentionally ridiculous "hyperactive J-pop numbers".[67][68] Their live performances are heavily choreographed and feature acrobatic stunts.[42] The group is noted for their "anarchic energy" that is similar to that of punk bands.[69] The response from the audience has been characterised as "seismic".[70] Although the girls' voices are not very stable when coupled with an intense dance, the group performs on stage live and does not lipsynch.[71][1][9][72]

Some of Momoiro Clover's works are quite complex, switching from one musical style to another during one song[68] and connecting "seemingly unconnected melodies".[69] The group has worked with many noted songwriters and musicians, belonging to different genres of music, from pop to punk and heavy metal.[69]

Overall, the group and its music has been noted as progressive and forward-thinking.[68][69] Ian Martin from The Japan Times dubbed Momoiro Clover "a pop group who provoke squealing, teenage admiration from punks, indie kids, noise musicians and heavy-psychedelic longhairs throughout the Japanese underground music scene".[68]

According to a representative of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Momoiro Clover Z "is known for upbeat tunes, eccentric choreography and the members' costumes".[50] A music critic from The Japan Times cites Momoiro Clover Z as an example of "a seamless integration of personality, image, and music, with each element mutually complementary".[73]

Members

On stage, Momoiro Clover members are easily distinguished by the colors of their clothes, which is in the style of Japanese sentai (costumed superhero) shows.[42] In some songs and music videos, the group loosely parodies them.[9][74][37]
