[Momoiro Clover Z MV] Farewell, My Beloved Sorrows / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / Saraba Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachiyo)

A single that became a hot topic thanks to composition by world-renowned Japanese guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei, it’s the ninth release from idol group Momoiro Clover Z.

The song explores the theme of light and darkness in humanity, with a thrilling arrangement that mirrors the concept: it moves from a rock-driven A melody to an unsettling B section, then bursts into a catchy chorus.

The relentless guitar in the intro and instrumental breaks serves as a hook, making it a track that instantly boosts the mood the moment it starts at karaoke—a perfect pick for Halloween in both theme and sound.
