Who is Momoiro Clover Z? Momoiro Clover Z is a girls unit featuring Kanako Momota, Shiori Tamai, Ayaka Sasaki, Momoka Ariyasu and Reni Takagi. They began their career in 2008, and their single “Ikuze! Kaitou Shoujo” (Released in 2010) reached No. 1 on the Oricon daily chart. Their activities have brought them into collaborations with many different fields, such as anime and even professional wrestling. Their collaborations within anime are especially strong and they were in charge of the main themes for “Pokemon: Best Wishes”, “Bodacious Space Pirates”, “Joshiraku” and “Dragon Crisis”. In 2014, they were chosen as one of the opening acts for Lady Gaga's tour of Japan. Also in 2014, they recorded the opening and the ending themes for “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal”, as well as the main theme for the film “Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'” in 2015. Momoiro Clover Z will return to America for a three-city "Trans-America Ultra Live Tour" November 15th-19th. The tour stops in Hawaii, New York, and Los Angeles. The pop idol unit made their last appearance on U.S. shores at Anime Expo 2015, joined on stage by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS. A limited number of VIP tickets will be available for the each city, and will include an exclusive pre-show special talk with the artist, titled "JUSTICE WITH MOMOIRO CLOVER Z".

Rock fans, idol fans, listen up! Continuing their tradition of bringing over some of the biggest acts in Japanese music and pop culture, Anime Expo's newest guest is... Momoiro Clover Z and KISS!
Formed in 2008 as a six member group under the name Momoiro Clover (Peach-colored Clover), Momoiro Clover Z is currently a five member idol group managed by Stardust Promotions (Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, Takoyaki Rainbow.) Styling themselves as "weekend heroines" and "idols you can meet right now", their Super Sentai schtick has brought them from performing street lives in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, to winning a platinum disk award for their 2013 album "5th dimension" and becoming the first female act to perform in the National Olympic Stadium. They have also sung themes for several popular anime, including Pokemon, Sailor Moon Crystal, and Dragonball Z. Earlier this year, the group released a collaboration single with multi-platinum American rock group KISS; Yume no Ukiyo ni Saitemina (Try and Bloom in this Fleeting Dream World.) The single, the first official collaboration KISS has ever done, quickly peaked at #2 on the Oricon charts. This upcoming concert featuring both super groups will be the first time Momoiro Clover Z will be performing in the United States. -Tris-chan |
