    The new song will be announced in the tomorrow's program(火曜ZIP!).
    It is written in the details of the program in this way.

    I've watched several videos of MomoClo performing street lives in 2008, and I wonder if this is the usual way an idol group gets started? They had no costumes, and only one microphone. To be honest, to me they didn't sing or dance very well. If I had seen them on the street in 2008 I would have walked by and never given them another thought.

    Were these street performances a way for the talent agency to test the girls, to see who had the natural talent to perform in front of an audience? I'm very curious to learn how a group of gawky (awkward) little girls grew into such massively talented performers in only a couple of years.

    I know nothing about other idols. But I know that it is rare for companies to newly enter the game, and Stardust is huge. I guess Kawakami could have gotten generous funding but chose to forge them with fire and create some mythology on the way.

    f I had seen them on the street in 2008 I would have walked by and never given them another thought.


    Idol fans get really deep into their hobby, so they like to be there from the start. The girls had all worked before so there was enough information to base a bet on.

    I'm very curious to learn how a group of gawky (awkward) little girls grew into such massively talented performers in only a couple of years.


    Practice. Kawakami wielded Stardust to get them all kinds of gigs, even things idols don't usually do. I've heard they were pushed so hard Reni developed a temporary eating disorder.

    Thanks for the info, asan. I need a manager like Kawakami. What I've read about him is that he knew nothing about the idol world either, so basically forged his own unique path with MomoClo.

    Sorry, I want to write about MomoClo's era of street performance.

    In Japan, performancing(dancing and singing) on street is not so rare.
    But it is very rare case what they become major.

    Before create Momoclo, Kawakami had managed SAWAJIRI Erika(actress).
    One day, she had bad attitude. And she lose every works as actress.
    Kawakami had much times and he was telled from his boss, create like idol group.

    Then create Momoclo.
    Kawakami had very addiction for pro-wrestling and he had never managed girls, he directed to performance in the park.
    He only didn't know how to manage girls.

    The show is called "Having fun with hit songs" and the video copy is one of the segments. MomoClo have been on as candidates before and redid the opening of the Highschool! Kimengumi anime. I think this was posted somewhere.

    The version I saw in July didn't have the Haruna Ai part. She's great! But I didn't see Yumisensei during the lessons, and who were her practice partners? Do MomoClo keep standins?
