Okay, that made me happy.

Also, what's . . ah, what's going on there? Is this a metaphor for college football? Like NCAA vs some brightly clad faerie team from a mystical land? And Steve Spurrier is the cat drummer, right? Oh that's good.

For my money, my favourite (and perhaps the least expected) Momoiro Clover Z collab is the song they did with Ian Parton of the Go! Team.

Alternate link to Roudou Sanka, for those who got a "It is not available in your country" message when clicking on chrominance's link.

There's also a fun behind the scenes video.

I love this video. Is love the right emotion? Maybe I enjoy, and appreciate this video.

Pretty cool...I would like it more, but there is no denying that Simmons and Frehley got paid, for this...

Me: "I can't believe you don't have any comments on that video I just sent."
My boyfriend: "I am speechless."

That's probably the most appropriate reaction.

(This is amazing.)

Ahh, I liked Momoiro Clover Z ever since they've done the opening theme for Mouretsu Pirates (Miniskirted Pirates/bodacious Space Pirates) which is one of the most high energy, earwormy anime songs I've ever heard. Their own clip for it is special too.

They also do the new opening theme for Sailor Moon.

I saw them perform in Los Angeles this year. Stanley and Simmons were there but did not perform. The Japanese consulate general was on stage with all of them at one point which made for a pretty unusual grouping. .

Yep.

Sushio did the character design for Kill La Kill, and we see a familiar-looking character in the Momoiro Clover Z video.
