    Is this Z-ver or ZZ-ver? I am starting to get confused.

    Lol. Well the insertion had one Z but the Wowow people could have been confused as well :)

    I guess since Momoka probably didn't perform with them it's automatically ZZ version, although I don't think it's been rearranged instrumentally yet, like Ikuze!

    A new song called GODSPEED will be released in connection to a Women's Marathon. As far as I understand it this will not be connected to the monthly releases, but a stand-alone song.

    Nevermind, what I said above about it not being a monthly single. It seems like it will be the November single.

    Kanako got a haircut: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9UiJDnnDq/?taken-by=kanakomomota_official

    Seems like she is not a fan of the long hair look, because this is the 3rd time she's done it.

    I kind dropped out posting here because of feeling down related to my main computer being broken down and not being able to post on the tracker.

    Kind of a lame excuse. There is no reason for me not to be posting here while fixing my machine!

    So no more excuses! Let me get to posting some things...

    I'm not sure that just announcing a new haircut is the exact meaning of Kanako san's October 15th Instagram post. Indeed, she did get her hair cut...or maybe she cut it herself. I'm not completely sure. Using my "hatchet job" translation skills, I took a stab at the text in the post...

    image

    I believe the scissors emoji is there for the verb 切る (Kiru - to cut). So if I'm right, since the hair cut has already happened, we should conjugate kiru to the simple past form, kitta, then the complete text would be " 髪の手切った!うれしいすっきり。" (kami no te kitta!ureshii sukkiri.)

    I translate that as "I cut my hair! I'm glad that I'm happy." - Did she cut her hair herself, or did some one else cut it for her? Kiru is a transitive verb, but in this case I think it could go either way.

    The point is that whether Kanako san cut her hair herself or somebody else did it for her, I think this post is not so much about, "Look! I got a new haircut.", but more like, "There's a big hole on the top of my head, but I'm glad I'm happy."

    Whether she cut a bald spot or somebody else did, she seems to be OK with it. As always, she has a great sense of humor!
    Shears! (Sorry, bad pun! I meant Cheers!)

    Rather an unrelated topic, but assuming their are fans of followers of this particular female group, have you guys heard the news about BABYMETAL?

    If so, what is your reaction/opinion on it (especially considering how MCZ had a similar loss earlier in the year)?

    Graduations are part of idoldom so have to be expected

    Momoka's and Yui's have one thing in common for me:
    They were weird and with a certain degree of disbelief that the whole story had been told.
    In Yui's case obviously...

    With Momoka it was the suddeness and rushed athmosphere that made it awkward
    With Yui it was the dead silence for months if not a year that angered a lot of fans
    And even now the explanation given is rather vague and not satisfying
    And Yui going solo? I rather doubt that

    Other than that you can't really compare the groups and persons
    The absence of Momoka's abilities was a real blow artistically
    In BM's case it was more a disturbance of symmetry with one half of Suzuka's minions missing

    But I have to admit that I had lost a great deal of interest in them after a while as they didn't have the diversity and constant amount of surprises that Momoclo provided

    I would say that over the past two years there were just a lot of surprises from them, from which all the fans just went crazy LOL

    Well if BABYMETAL keeps the extra dancers they had with them for this year now that Yui is gone, they can still work that “Su-Metal and her minions” dynamic (just let those extras chant with Moa).

    In Momokas case, I argue that while she was an essential part to MCZ, she wasn’t THE essential part that made MCZ what they are (it was the combination of ALL the ladies with their different personalities and abilities). So while they might not be as good without Momoka, I say they are still perfectly manageable with the 4 remaining members (since each of them are about as essential to the group).

    If they were a 10 with Momoka, they are now an 8 without her.

    well, momoclo could use minions too..
    momoclo with two minions


    momoclo with 5 minions !


    wow, it certainly not bad idea, i can see it worked somehow, n i love to see the old dance formation,,now if they can somehow add the energy like they used to,it will be perfect..
