The anime is pretty terrible, IMO. The phone/tablet rhythm game is pretty darn good though. Some really good songs by that group. I was pretty excited for the vita game by the Project Diva team but it's apparently kind of crappy.

I actually enjoyed the anime a lot. The first few episodes were pretty slow, and I felt kind of silly when I saw the first live scene, but I ended up marathoning the rest in one night. The focus is on the friendships between the girls (I believe one of Momoclo's strong points is how close the girls are), unlike iM@S, which is more a Girl of the Week type of show. The mobile game is way more popular than the series is - the majority of the nerds at my school play it even though they haven't watched the anime. But yeah, the Vita game sucks, there's apparently this fanmade h-game (SFW link) that looks better than whatever this is lmao.

It's crazy how popular the real-life lives are, though, nothing like iM@S - the seiyuus play their characters perfectly, and are also pretty good looking. A few of them (Nanjou Yoshino, Mimori Suzuko) were already popular seiyuus, while the others have skyrocketed in popularity (at least four of them had their major debut right after Love Live). The next concert's filled Saitama Super Arena for two days, and tickets were insanely hard to get; raffle tickets were included with BD sales (sort of AKB-style, yes) and if you still didn't get one day after your $70 BD purchase? Good luck finding one for few hundred bucks on Yahoo auctions.

Sorry this got kind of long, I was a very intense LL fan for a while, haha. μ's popularity has seriously gone through the roof recently, especially in overseas countries after the international release of the game. It's a good first introduction to idols to the anime-obsessed Western community.

Here is the best quality I can find.

Whoa, thanks a ton, that's perfect! It's amazing how close they can dance so closely without any collisions; I love how Aarin narrowly avoids Reni at 2:40.

some of the song that haven't been added yet:
- One Love (with 3Bjunior) - 2010 ore no fujii
- Alone - as UFI
- Last Christmas - cover of WHAM, performed in Momokuri 2010

Added all the songs. But I need some help on the above.

The biggest "problem" is "One Love". I haven't been able to find the kanji for this one.
If I'm correct it was a song written (or at least primarily used) for 3Bjunior, and finally put on CD four years after it was performed for the first time
Maybe the lyrics are printed on the booklet of the album?
All important links are here: http://matsuurian.com/mcz/songs/onelove.htm
Or maybe someone with knowledge of the Japanese language can write down the kanji by listening to it?
I have put the HQ audio on the site which would make it a bit easier, The video is still here:
One Love

I actually found the lyrics for the UFI songs. I just need the very last spoken sentence (after the wow wow wows) in kanji for "Alone"
http://matsuurian.com/mcz/songs/alone.htm
Alone

As for "Last Christmas" this performance right at the start of the encore of the Momkuri 2010 (same goes for "Mama ga Santa Kiss Shita" btw) was not included on the DVD
Does anyone know another source for these performances?

Fantastic. Thanks
Last Christmas is there too actually :)


So was "One Love" originally an Ebichu song?

^Broadcast on 2/28

2/28(土)『MUSIC ON! TV presents アニメ紅白歌合戦 Vol.4 』BSスカパー 22:00～

Than everything's correct. Great :)

On other news someone made a mash up between BABYMETAL and Momoclo:
"Catch me if you Chai Maxx ZERO".

I love it, probably even more that the original Chai Maxx Zero.

I'm listening to all of the songs on that channel, quite enjoyable.
