^haha cool, she must've been like 11/12 years old in those pics :panic:
she might return to the group ???Unlikely, though it'll be interesting to see what Stardust has in store for her/us (she's back with Stardust S3, it was announced at the event. Can't find her talent page yet though).
Momoiro Clover is definitely my favorite Japanese idol group right now, and watching the MJ idol special last night just confirms it! In my opinion, their performance blew all the other idol groups away.They might be mine too; I love old-school H!P and my top idol will always be Rika, but. Momoiro Clover is AMAZING; I've been spending a lot of time watching clips of them backstage (no subs at all) and they're so cute and fun. The MJ performance really got a lot of people interested in MomoClo, because it TOTALLY blew the other performances out of the water. Normally lipsyncing bugs me, but I really can't see how anyone could sing along with that kind of dancing and energy :O wow.
Shirome press conference
On October 17th, there will be a special girl idol event at the Shibuya Glad, called, “LIVE*015 ‘Harouinrori Pop’“. The event will feature female idol groups Tokyo Girls’ Style and Momoiro Clover on the same day, and both groups will doing a live Ustream broadcast of their segments.TokyoGirlsStyle (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tokyoGirlsStyle#)
Tokyo Girls’ Style mentioned a story involving their live stream event for the release of their single, “Himawari to Hoshikuzu/Kitto Wasurenai…,” on October 10th. Apparently Tokyo Girls’ Style had used the location right after it was used for a Momoiro Clover event. One of the Momoiro members had forgotten her headdress from their new single at the site, and instead of having it returned to the member through their manager, Tokyo Girls’ Style said that they wanted to deliver it personally themselves at their joint event on the 17th.
It is very unusual to see such a “promise” between two idols, especially in this era of idol group rivalries. Those who missed the exchange between the two groups earlier will be able to see it in the archive section of the Ustream channel.
The October 17th event will feature both idol groups, and everyone should make sure to tune into the live event to see the special encounter and friendship between Tokyo Girls’ Style and Momoiro Clover.

Momoiro Clover's Akari Hayami to quit idol careerhttp://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-7328 (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-7328)
Sun, January 16, 2011 (9:46am EST)
Idol group Momoiro Clover held an in-store event in Chiba on Sunday, and member and sub-leader Akari Hayami (15) unexpectedly announced in front of the 500 fans in attendance that she is leaving the group in April. With tears in her eyes, Hayami explained that she wants to try a different path in life besides being an idol. Hayami said that she felt since she was little that she didn't have the personality to be an idol. She also said that she had felt doubts about being in Momoiro Clover, and there were even times where she had started to dislike being in the group. However, she remarked that her time with the group was not a waste, as she has made some important memories.
Leader Kanako Momota (16) said that she was speechless when Hayami had informed her of the decision just three days earlier. Momoiro Clover is scheduled to release their next single "Mirai Bowl" on March 9. Hayami's last performance with the group will be on April 10 at Nakano Sun Plaza.
Their single entered the charts at #3 with 18,307 copies sold.Highest daily sales yet! I'm so proud of them!!
I can't find their previous single sales, but I think it's pretty good!

Q: How do you pass the time?
A: Listen to our new songs, play with my phone
Q: There's nothing lying around
A: Until recently we had an Akumuchan mascot fastened to the mirror, useful to distinguish ours from other cars
Q: Is it comfortable?
A: So much so we rest here instead of in the changing room between performances
K: We'd rather be in here. It's a comfort zone. This Granvia is my teammate, I love it.
A: On the way home after work it's like we've already arrived.
M: It's so quiet I even study in here ;)
Q: What are the advantages of driving?
S: Train or plane are faster, but with the car we get more sleep. It's our private space.
A: We don't have to be quiet
R: I can sleep with my mouth open
K: We can practice on the way to sessions
i noticed for the live performance there were little mesh eye holes for them to see, but for the pv maybe it's just thin enough for them to see and tick enough to give the illusion that they cant? idk if i even described that well enough lol

Akari Hayami
When Akari Hayami decided to graduate from Momoiro Clover, the group had been steadily climbing the ranks of the idol industry and growing in popularity. Once she left, they rebranded themselves as a five-member Momoiro Clover Z—starting over, just as Hayami did. She devoted herself to acting, going on to appear in dramas and feature films, as well as commercials. For Hayami, it was a return to her original ambition. It is difficult for many girls to break away from the strong “idol” image they had come to be associated with, but the former Momoiro Clover sub-leader pressed on in pursuit of her own individual path as an actress. “I’m not suited for the idol route, but I want to act,” she declared in a bold statement at the time of her graduation.
