Today the idol group “Momoiro Clover” have participated in their first shrine visit of the New Year at the Gokoku-ji temple in Tokyo and prayed for the success of their new song “Mirai Bowl” as well as the opportunity to appear at the much ballyhooed musical festival Kouhaku at the end of the year. The first shrine visit of the the New Year (“Hatsumoude”) is a traditional procedure in Japan and the 6 girls dressed up in beautiful kimonos for the occasion. They wrote on the ema, the small wooden board to write your prayers on with, “This year we are definitely going to appear on Kouhaku Uta Gassen!!!” . Leader Momoto Kanako also expressed her own personal goal for 2011: “I want to perform acrobatics that are going to surprise everyone! The whole country shall turn pink (momoiro)!!”
It has also been decided that the group will be going on a nationwide tour and perform a total of 44 concerts in 14 different regions. The first concert is going to take place at Zepp Osaka on January 22nd. On April 10th they are even going to perform at the Nakano Sunplaza.
Further their new single “Mirai Bowl”, that will be used as the theme song for the anime “Dragon Crisis“, will go on sale on March 9th.
A busy and exciting year 2011 seems to await the colorful girls of Momoiro Clover.
