Momoiro Clover Z

[DSQ]

.... And so ends my interest Momoiro Clover. Akari...

I really hope that her saying that "there may be another path in life that suits me better than being an idol" doesn't equate to "I'm sick of being the least popular member and watching everyone else get more recognition".

My thoughts exactly.

[55Cyanides]

This is definitely a big blow to me.

On the lighter side, Reni looks healthier. I wish the group and Hayami Akari aka MEGA aka LEGITNESS a great future for them. I will still support them.

[Kay]

I can't believe Akari is leaving! She was the first member I noticed and one of my favorites...

With all the member changes they have had to endure over the years, I thought they finally found a stable line-up and were going to make it big with the change in record label and increase in popularity from being on more main-stream shows like Music Japan.

I'm not giving up on MoMoKuro just yet, it's upsetting to see one girl go...

I wonder who will get to do all her rap lines...?

Was Akari the least popular? I think that's crazy because she was the only one who stood out to me, but yeah Momoclo is dead to me now.

Perhaps some insight as to what may have happened:

.... That's it, I'm writing to her. This is so terribly sad. I feel so bad for her. She's such a cute, funny, talented girl, and the only reason I really got into Momoclo, so this just... really depresses me.

Edit; Can anyone find their fanmail address? I'm looking all over their site and not having much luck...

I've looked all over and i can't find it either maybe you should leave a comment on her blog instead?

[miyuki]

It really, really sucks! She was really pushing to be my second fave and this happens.
It's so sad to see her go, she really had something special. On one hand, maybe it's true she has some potential elsewhere and well despite being as huge idol fan, I can admit there are better jobs out there.

And if it really was anti-fans fault, WATCH ME RAGE OMG.
I know all anti-fans are whacked out, and I think Korea has it the worst but this cannot be ignored. But as I said above, there is something she can do and still be happy. I wish everyone all the best ;A;

Momoiro Clover's Mirai Ball PV (short version) has been released.

[Kay]

C&P my thoughts from H!O:

First off, I love the PV's storyline! It's really original and somehow reminds me of The Outsiders and Grease- with bowling instead of fist fights and car races! This is really an original PV which I haven't seen since MoMusu.'s [Mr. Moonlight]. However, I'm still not liking the heart-shaped outfits. They're just ugly and fluffy. I wish they'd give these girls some lighter costumes to do all their dancing and acrobatics in. And, finally, the song itself. I do not like the transition between the verse and the chorus. It sounds really awkward and out of place. I'm more fond of the discoy chorus and I wish they would have built the song up around that instead. I'm still excited for the B-Sides, though, so I'm anxiously awaiting the CD release~

Answering laaate, but I was trying to find this a while back, so that the forum I admin for (ikuze-momoclo) could do a letter/gift/graduation thing. I sent MomoClo's staff a tweet asking them about it and they actually responded... and told me to post on Akari's blog.

At that point they hadn't made the transition to ameba where Americans can post comments, so then it was unpleasant. But yeah, I'd think at this point her blog's your best bet.

[Micchipyon]

Chai Maxx's PV is bit weird.. xD But I love the outfits :3 ♥

[AikyiTaizne]

For those of you that have yet to see the amazing appearance on Shabekuri 007

http://www.megavideo.com/?d=FO9ZAP9C

Unfortunately, I can't upload it to youtube, so megavideo will have to do. You can also download the full (HD) file from there too, so whichever you prefer.

Did I say it's amazing?

[TAAU]

Thanks for the upload

Reni is looking a lot better.
Also, Momoka is all kinds of awesome

What does that all mean?

It's the first day sales for Mirai Bowl. Unfortunately I expected it to be much higher since ikuze sold 15k ;_;

Anyways, here - http://www.mediafire.com/?8ifsuonwazn31ld

I didn't realise Ikuze sold so many copies on the first day!
Where do you get all those sales figures from?

Thank for the DL, should hold me until my copies arrive ^_^

[Cristafari]

The full version of the Mirai Bowl PV is great!!!!

laugh tracks
many Pinky Jones references (Chapa Chapa)
lots of cute Engrish thrown into the dialogue
I love the idea of splicing the actual MV with scenes of the mini-play

Definitely one of the many strong points of Momoclo, the video producers!

[Sorceress628]

AKARI!
AKARI!
AKARI!


Been watching Hashira! and their live performance of Mirai Bowl.

Goodbye Blue. At least they performed a tribute song for you and your color is permanently retired.

Please don't give up your dream of becoming an idol. Come over to AKB or something. 13th generation kenkyusei anyone?

[Jasey]

She didn't really want to be an idol xD That's pretty much why she left the group. From now on Akari's going to try and be an actress, and she's with a pretty decent agency so good luck to her ^^
