AKB48 vs Momoiro Clover Z


eyeless

Recommended Posts

The result is not that important, I'm more interested in those peoples opinion. Most of them choose AKB because of their oshimen, while Momoclo is more known as a group. Despite of the size, AKB is an individualist group. More about pushing members than the group itself.

Even though people like Momoclo as a group because of their power or whatever, I think AKB really captures the hearts of fans as individuals. That's why I think in reality it's AKB with the strongest power

i'm not really fond of momoclo's music to be honest

 

from what i've heard so far, it's all just upbeat and energetic songs

 

AKB has a wider variety

IMO it's the other way around, Momoclo have so many composers with wide varieties for their songs. Hyadain, NARASAKI (Coaltar of the Deepest), Etsuko Yakushimaru (Soutaseiriron), Hotei Tomoyasu, Ian Parton (Go! Team), Damian Kulas (OK go), etc etc. Maybe you should check to their 5th Dimension or "Battle and Romance".

 

And Momoclo has the best concert, not doing handshakes and no gravure. Which make them more general public friendly.

It should be about the material that the artist releases, not what the composer is capable of. Takamina had a TK song, doesnt mean its a guranteed hit

 

Anyways, I dont really see a point in all the intricate Instrumentals when all the songs are sung exactly the same way on neo stargate except for neo stargate itselfi

I get your point, but imo a song for an idol group is about writer, instruments and vocal. Momoclo have a pretty weak vocals, composer have a more chalenging part to compose a song for them and direct how the girls need to sing it. I can't write it any better than this blog about Momoclo's song and its connection with the composers

do they have ballad type songs? 

 

Regardless of the variety of composers, it's always about just how the song sounds; the rhythm, the melody, what kind of instruments used. People will only care about the final product.

Yes, ofc they have ballads, actually their fan favorite Hashire! is a mid tempo song.

And other ballads like Tsuki no Gingami Hikousen, Hai to Diamond, Shiroi Kaze, Sora no Curtain, etc

 

Lau, you know me long enough to know that I used to be an AKB fan since 6theory right. I listen to all of their singles and stages, and I know songs are about tastes and preferences. But check these songs, their instruments and production level. You'll know that Momoclo invest more money on their songs and each song don't sound the same to other song, at least for me. These are their latest PVs.

 

Neo Stargate

 

Saraba, itoshiki kanashimi tachi yo

 

Otome Sensou

I just need to add this, my personal favorite, Nippon Egao Hyakkei. IMO is a very creative song and can only be this fun and crazy with Momoclo.

This is their performance on Music Fair, I think Momoclo was on their top condition when doing this.

but i'll be open to them as any other artist i don't know 

 

i guess i can start listening to more of their songs (i do need a new sound to listen to)

I feel like I've been bitter about Momoclo because of them being AKB's only real rival (though even that might be hard to say?) and because I am still bitter about Akari leaving since I thought she was fab

But I don't know, always room in my heart for more idols 

i think

I just listened to your suggestions. 

 

I can definitely see that the songs are actually more complex and maybe a little more experimental compared to AKB, and it really reflects their energetic image.

 

I think they're a good example of 'nu-wave idols'.
