Momoiro Clover Z

Momoiro Clover Z promoting "Xiao Yi Xiao" (2018)

Momoiro Clover Z (ももいろクローバーZ) is a female idol group of selected members from Stardust Promotion Agency's 3B junior Department. The group formed in 2008 as Momoiro Clover and made their musical debut a year later with the single "Momoiro Punch" under the indies label Happy Music Record. In early 2010 they signed with Universal Music Japan, however they only released one single under this label, "Ikuze! Kaitou Shoujo", before moving to King Records' sub-label StarChild.

On April 10, 2011, Hayami Akari graduated and the group decided to be renamed Momoiro Clover Z.
