Keiko Kitagawa forms a special unit with MomoClo Z... "KimoClo Z"

Actress Keiko Kitagawa (27) will be forming a special unit with idol group Momoiro Clover Z for the upcoming Akumuchan Special (NTV, this spring). This unit will be called KimoClo Z.

She will be showcasing her singing and dancing skills for the first time with this drama-only unit. Her image color is "black", and will be wearing the same mini-skirts as these idols who are almost 10 years younger than her. She even joked that "Doing something like this (at 27) may actually be an 'akumu' (nightmare)... but it feels like I came back (to the time of my debut)", citing her acting debut with the TBS live action drama Sailor Moon.

MomoClo hail from Stardust Promotions, the same agency as Kitagawa's, and they have this to say about her: "As expected of the 'STAR' in Stardust, she really is different from the rest!". When asked if she would consider teaming up with MomoClo outside of the drama, Kitagawa says, "I'll think about it if I become the most popular member here", and grins. The other members all panicked and went, "Oh no! Oh no!". Akumuchan will also be having a movie which will be coming to theaters on May 3rd.

They're a metal-themed idol unit, and are known to not have any talks during their concerts. The group consists of vocalist SU-METAL (16), and 'screamers' YUIMETAL (14) and MOAMETAL (14). They performed their hit songs "Ijime, dame, zettai" and others, and will be performing this summer in Europe.

The Game Girls will be Japan's first idols dedicated to video games, as six hardcore gamers were chosen from Alice Project to take part in this unit. The members are Yuki Sakura (21/Steam Girls:Kamen Joshi/FPS games), Maari Watanabe (24/Alice Juban:Kamen Joshi/Action games), Nodoka Sakura (23/Alice Juban:Kamen Joshi/RPG games), Anna Tachibana (21/Alice Juban:Kamen Joshi/Fighting games), Kanon Mori (24/Alice Juban:Kamen Joshi/Sports games), and Misa Kubota (19/Armor Girls:Kamen Joshi/Misc. games).

Their dream is to "appear in the commercials of their beloved video games" and to challenge different kinds of games as the mightiest idol unit in the entertainment industry. They will regularly have shows at Alice Project's P.A.R.M.S. Theater in Akihabara. A concert will also be held on the 6th to introduce the new unit.
