With the corona virus situation, many idol groups have been releasing more digital content for their fans. In Momoclo's case, this has been through live streams on Youtube. Today they watched and commented on the HaruIchi concert in Higashiomi while eating and drinking.

Aarin ended up getting pretty affected 

The full video is a few hours long

Tokisen has now officially changed their name to "Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu", with Bambi leaving the group and a new member, Suda Aki, joining the group.

They also released a new single: "Tomorrow saiko setsu!!" (Tomorrow's strongest theory)

Since our new home has been down, I figured I'd check here. I've been waiting to post TokiSen's new MV, but you beat me to it (although maybe I should start calling them ChoKiSen, lol). This has to be the highest definition MV they've ever released. The colors were so bright, I almost had to wear sunglasses to get through it! Suda Aki has been doing acting and modeling under Stardust Entertainment. Here's a commercial she was in.

TokiSen also released an MV for "Jinsei sai ko no Melody" (Melody of the Happiest Life) to promote the Blu-ray for last year's Christmas Concert.

Two saiko MVs in one week!  Yeah that MV is VERY colourful and... splashy (like flashy, but with colour splashes?)

That's an advantage of having 2 forums! When one is down, the other one is hopefully up. H+ is up again, but I'll answer here anyway (I'll probably post in H+ too though).

Oh and today there was another livestream on the Momoclo channel! This is by far my favourite gaming stream so far and I can recommend checking it out (if not the whole thing, then some segments or clips/gifs). This time Shiori was guesting, and she was playing a couple of PS1 games: Crash Bandicoot & Parappa The Rapper!

It's only about 1 hour 40 minutes so it's not that long

 

 

It also seems like they might remove the videos after a while, so it's good to check them out before they're gone!

Here's a fun/cute gif from the video

Guys, is there any chance of us to get new badges for the group/members?

[abra]

Since there's actually a bit of activity here now, I'll link to this site where you can vote for songs for Momoclo's 12th anniversary live album:

https://mcz-livebest.com/list/

I also made a thread in Celebrity News & Gossip with the interim results. Voting ends at the end of the month.

Ofcourse!

I'd love new badges, but I'm not great with photoshop/similar software so might take a while. I think Sasori might be interested, too.

I don't know if the process for award changing is the same for japanese and korean groups

but I keep thinking how pretty it would be to have this as a badge:

I'm not sure if it's needed since the badges already exist? But I think we could. I guess 5 is quite a lot now that the forum isn't as active as a few years ago, but it should be doable. Which badges are you interested in changing? I'm thinking group and members. If you want, we can also change the Momoka badge. I wouldn't mind a new badge for her although I'm fond of the current one, too.

Yup!

Momoclo (Momoiro Clover Z) are Japan's most well-liked idol girl group but they don't have the fandom size of a group like AKB48 and their international fandom in particular is pretty small so unless you're following Japanese girl groups you might not know about them. They've been going for a long time now and do things quite differently to other idols but thankfully show no sign of stopping any time soon. They just released the opening for the new Sailor Moon movie and in about a week they'll release a compilation album with some previously unreleased songs.

I really like their performances, they're usually energetic and a lot of fun

 

Their company's girl groups are known collectively as Stardust Planet and also include other great groups like Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku, Team Shachi, Tacoyaki Rainbow and more. Recently Batten Girls have impressed me.

 

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'll happily answer
