On April 10th, Momoiro Clover’s Hayami Akari officially left the group after their performance, “4.10 Nakano Sun Plaza Taikai MomoKuro no Ichidaiji~Mabushisa no Naka ni Kimi ga Ita~“.

Hayami, who was the sub-leader of Momoiro Clover, first announced her intention to leave the group back in January. It’s also been revealed that after her departure, the remaining 5 members will be resuming activities under the new name, Momoiro Clover Z.


During the event, the members of Momoiro Clover dedicated the new song “Akarin ni Okuru Uta” (“The song to give Akarin”) to a surprised Hayami. The live performance of the track will be available in CD format for a limited time. If you are interested, make your reservation here by April 24th. Part of the proceeds will be donated to earthquake relief.
