It’s a standout track with a flashy, energetic chorus that’s quintessentially anison.

MahorovacationMomoiro Clover Z
Momoiro Clover Z, whose all-out live performances are the talk of the town.
Their February 2016 new single, “Mahoroba Vacation.” The funky track is super cool, and when I noticed the music video keeps showing the drums and bass, I looked it up—turns out the drummer is Pierre Nakano from Ling Tosite Sigure and the bassist is Hama Okamoto from OKAMOTO’S.
No wonder the performance sounds so cool.
