[Momoclo MV] Go for it! Phantom Thief Girl / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER / IKUZE! KAITOU SHOUJO)

Released in May 2010 as their major-label debut single, this track was written and composed by Kenichi Maeyamada.

Its charm lies in a phantom-thief story inspired by the world of the film The Castle of Cagliostro from the Lupin III series.

The exhilarating premise—“taking aim at listeners’ hearts” with smiles and vocals—pairs with frequent key changes that create a thrilling progression, drawing the audience in at once.

It was also chosen as the opening theme for TBS’s Rank Kingdom, helping spread the name of Momoiro Clover.

It’s the perfect song to sing and dance to at full power with friends at karaoke, or to boost your energy when you need a lift.

Mr.Children "Tomorrow never knows" Tour 2015 Incomplete Live

One of Mr.

Children’s masterpieces that absolutely makes you want to shout along during the chorus! It was used as the theme song for the drama “Wakamono no Subete” starring Masato Hagiwara and Takuya Kimura, and as an insert song for the drama “Antique: Western Confectionery” starring Hideaki Takizawa.

The melody has a cute vibe, but Sakurai’s vocals in the chorus feel powerful.

And that chorus shout—of course you want to yell it together at a Mr.

Children concert, and you can’t help but join in when someone sings it at karaoke, right?
