Momoiro Clover Z or "MomoClo" called by fan is not your average "Idol group". While many major selling J-Pop Idol groups rely on the sales of singles (on Japans Oricon music sales chart) & a handful of "Center faces" for recognition, MomoClo relies on thematic concept videos and high octane live performances. Every song has character, costumes, themes, specialized dance, and sound. Each Momoiro Clover Z single sounds unique against other singles and every member of MomoClo is the "star" in their own way.
They are a superb example of a seamless blend of: talent, humor, dance, singing, passion, group dynamic, and innate Japanese cuteness. Above is Momiro Clover Z in a live performance of their July 2011 single called " D' no Junjō" or "Dash for the Pure Heart".
Below is MomoClo doing "D' no Junjo" doing the official video for the song dressed as Ninjas and showing off their comedy skills. 3 million views isn't bad for 5 girls from outside the traditional Idol system.

They're slowly going global and were a featured guest at the Japan Expo in France 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFaxi4t9nQk They're always on fire & ready to entertain.
This is what sets MomoClo apart from almost all the Idol groups in Japan. MomoClo loves to perform and in their early years eagerly would do live shows where ever they were allowed. One of their earliest gigs was in a parking lot outside an amusement park and it became darker than expected outside so the girls performed with only headlights from several cars to light them. Like AKB48 in their early days sometimes they performed for only a handful of people. Their original tag line was "Heroines of the Weekend" (Weekend Idols) because all of them went school during the week and they only performed on weekends.
Momoiro Clover Z are dedicated Moe!
