>>17420796
This group is destined to fail. I couldn't be less interested if I tried. They try and put in girls that are similar to their more popular stars into these groups and it just doesn't work. Plus, this group obviously has hit rock bottom as their first single has them showing so much skin, which isn't normal for Stardust.

Tbh I've always been disgusted by how they put such a young girl with the rest. She doesn't even look healthy and can't even keep up with the other girls dancing. She's so young they make her wear a black undershirt in this.

Once again, destined to fail. I only see one or two with potential to make it into Ebichu eventually, hope none of them do, though.

>>17420796
I like the song, but it doesn't fit with their outfits or the setting at all. They should have done something more fun.

>>17430614
I personally don't have anything I dislike, or if I have, it must be really deep within me because I can't think of it. Of course they aren't perfect tho.
I do like and follow other groups and agencies but I can say for sure Stardust have the best idols, for me at least. And I'm not only talking about the biggest acts, the underdogs like 3bjunior, Iginari or even CROWN POP have their charm when you get to know about them.

There is also that one guy some posts above who made it clear he dislikes Sakura Ebis, I don't know about the rest.

>>17430918

>>17430789
I'm the guy who posted about Sakura Ebis. I find myself to be really critical of the groups because they focus too much on the girls and not on the music (yeah, I know that's not really the point of idols...).

I haven't listened to much MCZ or Syachi, but I find them to be bearable when I watch them in live shows (purple needs to leave Syachi so they can have a unique group with 4 full personalities/different voices).

I basically only like Ebichu. For me, the music is the best there. Every song does a great job of focusing on each girl's strengths and hiding their weaknesses. All of the girls have unique personalities and have equal screen-time on their tv shows, no one's a true favorite of Stardust (but I think they're hot on Riko now). I don't know how they do it, but for me it is true art how consistently well the group has been managed since they went to 8 girls. For some reason, though, they refuse to reach out to audiences outside of Japan, lol.

I like a few girls in the smaller groups, though, but just for the personalities.

TL;DR to answer the guys question I only like Ebichu and think about this shit way too much.

>>17430935

>>17430940
>purple needs to leave Syachi

u suck

>>17430959

>>17430959
It's not that I hate her I just think she's a weak link. Even weaker than the pink girl was, at least she had some kind of "it" factor.

Matsuno Rina had an "it" factor but I still wanted her to leave Ebichu because she wasn't good live. I'm really sad about HOW she left, but seeing how some of the older songs have turned out live, I think Ebichu will get even better.

... Damn, I'm an asshole.

What do you mean by "it" factor?

>>17431242
Not him, but I think he's referring "aura".

>>17430614
I hate Kyoukai no Pendulum.

>>17430997
I feel that Matsuno's presence in Ebichu was like Hayami when she was in Momoclo... except she seems to be loved more by the fans, staffs, and members. Also, she seems to love Ebichu more than the others.

Honestly, I also wondered when Matsuno leave Ebichu, since her talent seems would grow better if she focused in modeling. She left finally, but in a devastating way.

The good things happened to Ebichu after, though. Like how they're no longer need Momoclo's name, and they get coverage in mainstream media more than before.

However, Matsuno will always be my oshimen.

>>17432230
I agree she would have been better in other mediums besides singing. I thought she would be a great TV host or actor, model etc.

Talking about Ebichu, they released another MV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDxWOGrn0_w

>>17434643
What a great MV. Neither trying to be edgy nor using a lot of budget, but still pleasant to watch.

Maybe I said that since I'm trully disappointed by Momoclo's Kyoukai no Pendulum MV.

She thickened out in late 2015, so yeah, you're really late.

also Hinata.

better than being super skinny, though.

There is nothing wrong with posting more of these, right? Not that I have more

>>17468497
Stardust is more about talent, good music, and fun concerts rather than lewdness.
If you need the latter you might want to check out AKB general, or maybe some kpop

I know that already, that is why I am following these groups, but I also know how to appreciate the girls' personality, looks and other factors. The image I posted is not that different from, let's say, talking about her current outfit. Well, to each his own.

No wonder I couldn't find it... I was looking for them to be in Girl's FACTORY 17. Nope

Glad I checked this out. This girl is gonna go far. Maybe the group, too

>>17485429
Is it uploaded on the internets yet?

>>17485347
Remember Stardust makes a big event at the beginning of the year? It was that in 2015. The reason Momoka wasn't there is because Momoclo didn't perform that day.
>>17485429
Nice! I'm pretty sure she's one of the most popular girls within 3bjunior and one of Reni favorites.
>>17485615

Mediocre singer, can't dance, what is Arin's purpose in life?

>>17430997
>I'm really sad about HOW she left

Karōshit happens, and will so continue until Japan fixes that part of its self image. Given the ruthless exploitation of minors central to the idol business the most uprising thing is that this doesn't happen more. I guess the agencies are good at dumping girls before they off themselves.

>>17509540
Do you think she committed suicide? Because that's not what happened. Unless you have a source.

Otherwise, agree with you though lol

Quite a change.

>>17512381
batten riko?
rarely see her deko :~

How much shelf life does Momoclo have left considering that Reni being the oldest member is already 24 and Arin being tje youngest is already 21? Or could all the members graduate and then pick new members of other Stardust acts for a new gen of Momoiro?
Will Maeyamada write a song for Momoclo again before the ride ends?

>>17513723
they aren't like most other female idol groups, members can stay as long as they want with no forced/management pushed graduations.

If you look at how they build friendships and relationships with a lot of older musicians/performers, it seems pretty clear they're trying to dig in for the long haul. Like a female Johnny's group that's around for decades.

Hyadain did two songs on their AMARANTHUS and Hakkin no Yoake albums.

>>17513723
Momoclo is not your average idol waifu factory. Go on one of their concerts and you will see what I mean. They are a real group, not a single-use disposable bunch of average girls.
They are here to stay for long.

>>17513961
>>17514017
I just asked because I missed so many years of MCZ and I want to have years to look forward to. There's something in MCZ and to some extent Ebichu that I can't feel in AKB or other idols, there's something genuine in Momoclo that I don't feel in groups like AKB.

>>17514144
>I want to have years to look forward to.
Well stadiums are booked until 2020 so that's at least another 3 years for you.
As long as they're alive I will be travelling for their concerts each year

Not enough to but I'll be at ease.
Their concerts are so hype I wish I could be at one.

Another thing I love about them is the constant wrestling references and appearances like Momoka accompanying Jado at the rumble of 2016's Tokyo Dome show, or them doing Mutoh's pose in Chai Maxx or Takashi Iizuka appearing in Golden History MV.

This is my favorite though https://youtu.be/5krSYRSi4iY?t=15m6s
I want Mutoh to train them and have them steamroll the entire joshi scene.

I had never heard this song and had literally zero interest in this group until I watched them do this live at Folktory 17. Now that I know its Hyadain it makes complete fucking sense. Love his style.

>>17520190
Pretty sure you just listed Hinata, bro
But yes, Momoka is right up there. I mean, they put them together in a three girl group for a reason. Chiyuri is no slouch either, Stardust probably thinks the three are the most talented of the idols they have.

>>17470317
>>17514382

I understand the look they were going for, but I don't get why Saku-chan's outfit looks so washed out. It's more white than pink.

>>17524744

>>17513961
>>17514017
That seems to be Stardust's business model when it comes to their main idol acts. MCZ and Ebichu definitely showed themselves to be legit musicians and performers in addition to doing typical idol stuff (and doing it well). It's very likely Syachi and Takoniji will follow in their footsteps too, if they haven't already.

ebichu is pushed by stardust right now. they even appeared in a sequence of momoclo-chan.

without matsuno, this wouldn't happen.

Speaking of Matsuno, this just shattered my heart into a thousand pieces.
https://youtu.be/Pmp9uKDDsRE?t=361

It's a surprise for the remaining members at the concert on Matsunos birthday this year.

>>17527642

>>17527642
Just when I though I moved to the acceptance stage of grief, something like this shows up and I have to start over again.

>>17527642
Gave me chills when her voice came on. So touching and so sad at the same time. This sure hasn't gotten easier, but that was sweet for the girls.

>>17510728
>Do you think she committed suicide?

No, I meant that the main expression of karôshi among idol groups would seem likely to be suicide (can't be easy to push a young girl to hearth attack), not that this specific case was such.

I don't like thinking that my idols are being overworked to death.
I like to believe they're enjoying themselves, such a smile can't be faked.

No, but hopefully after the 1st anniversary it'll get easier.

>>17510728
she said that she was often hospitalized for having poor health during her childhood.

matsuno wouldn't smile or laugh if she wasn't amused, so I think when she smiled or laughed, it was genuine.

Do you think Rina was a virg?

Why is Star Vegas so boring? Tasu Tasu was actually a good show.

>>17535510
by looking at her childish attitude, maybe she was.

>>17535557
because "study" is a boring words.

>>17531993
Yeah, there's just no way a professional entertainer would ever put on a show for the fans, no way. And I'm sure that girl at the hostess bar really does have a thing for you.

Rina, ten years ago. the movie was bad, though.

To be fair, I can't think any of the idols not to be virgin outside of fantasy, even the ones who sometimes act lewd like Aarin or Hitoka, they are all pure.

>>17538227
but Mirei doesn't seem to be virgin.

What Momoiro Clover Z live shows should I download?
Currently downloading Tohjinsai 2015 but apparently it was underwhelming with Reni having a broken wrist and side acts of hacks. What are some must watch concerts?

>>17541483
Tohjinsai 2014 was great. 2016 is brilliant too but I might be biased as I was there.
Other than tohjinsais, you definitely need to watch otoko matsuri 2015.
Once you get into it, it's a slippery slope.

She is the ever playful and slightly sexy idol of Momoclo A-rin, not the weight lifting and asskicking badass of Momoclo A-rin.

>>17544466
TL;DR She's the chubby one

>>17544546
She's not chubby!

That'd be Momoka. She has to hide her chubby face with this selfie angle.

I'll happily walk the slippery slope, thanks.
This one wasn't bad at all, really fun specially the wrestling match between Kawakami and Hyadain and his keyboard solo in Ikuze! Kaito Shoujo but God it was depressing to see the girls dancing and Reni far aside with a broken arm.

>>17547894
Think about it, man. If 2015 was the WORST Tohjinsai but was still a great show, what does that sat about the rest of them?

Incidentally, Momoiro Christmas 2011 and 2014 are must watches.

>>17550991
Are Tojihnsais yearly events? There were up to 2016, are there plans for one this year?

Probably stupid question.
In the 仮契約のシンデレラ video. The girl with the swirly things on her cheeks... is that Hinata?

Process of elimination, it has to be, but damn does she look different with that hair.

Also, if anyone can point me to a higher resolution version of that video. Highly appreciated.

>>17551657
Yea Summer concerts are the biggest. They change the name every few years, it used to be Tohjinsai until 2016.

She's really popular

Is this Mayu Iwatani of the wrestling promotion Stardom besides Reni?

It indeed is
Two ugly idols sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G

>>17558256
Reni is not ugly! And Mayu is not, well at least she does a badass dragon suplex.

Not my favorite member, but Aiai is Ebichu's image. Sad to know that she will be leaving Ebichu next year.

It's surprising, but after reading and watching her interview, it isn't unexpected.

>>17562441
Sad times ahead. I'll still root for Ebichu und Aiai... just well... separately

>>17562441
https://lineblog.me/ebichu/archives/13151622.html
:(

Aika. Please do porn.

Anyway, I guess Ebichu is as good as dead. At least, definitely if they lose Hinata soon.

Most of their songs will never be the same without Aika... You'll probably never hear a lot of them again live after she leaves.

>>17563771
>Most of their songs will never be the same without Aika
That's going to be the most interesting part about Ebichu without Aiai. Nobody could do her parts justice because she has too unique of a voice. Big loss for them.

>>17563771
ur as good as dead.

Why are so many of you guys so negative? Let's just support them and hope for the best.

>>17563915
They're either going to kill it soon or bring in other uninteresting girls from smaller groups.

>>17564672
Literally this, but with the remaining members obviously.

It'd be good for the remaining members too. A fresh start and all that.

Hirota once said that she was thinking about her own future after Matsuno's death, saying that maybe Ebichu wasn't everything to Matsuno, and that Ebichu isn't everything to her.

I also wouldn't mind if new members joining the group, but will the new kids be able to catch up with the current members?

>but will the new kids be able to catch up with the current members?
Kaho and Riko caught up when they joined so new girls could too over time. If they decide to have a new girl or girls enter, then you know they'll be choosing some of the best girls possible.

Someone on another forum mentioned that it wouldn't be shocking if members started to leave after her death. We may end up with a completely new roster in 2018.

honestly, before they do that, they should just start a new group

I don't blame her. aiai may have loved being in Ebichu, but you never know when your last day on Earth might be. It's better to take advantage of the time you have now before it's too late.

I'd always though it'd be Mayama or Hoshina to leave Ebichu first. Mayama' been over idol stuff for a while and Mirei's too spoiled to keep sharing the spotlight with others.

need a new thread soon
