DECORATION

DECORATION is a b-side to the single The Golden History. Composed by legendary funk guru Invisible Manners, it tells the tale of the most notable attempt at stealing the title of Leader from Kanako Momota.

The DECORATION Crisis
The music video that accompanied the song showed how close the cosmic powers that make up Momoiro Clover Z came to open war over the title of Leader. During the crisis everyone vying for the title of Leader put their cards on the table. It all starts with Kanako gleefully dancing together with her supporters, when Aarin shows up with the Sasaki army, in a truck carrying the emblem of cosmic entity and ally of the Sasaki house, The Dragon of Life and Death. Momoka also joins in, backed up by her crew of voters. Shiori is the only one who doesn't realise the gravity of the situation, and spends most of the video playing around with boxes. Reni, not interested in the Leader title, spends the first half of the showdown passively standing by, together with her pals. However, when she realises what is about to happen she too joins in, attempting to douse the fire before it starts. But like so many conflicts before it the crisis is only exacerbated when a new, neutral party joins in. Even Kanako realises something is amiss, and musters her soldiers to back her up. As all the different parties and their respective soldiers/pals/voters draw closer to each other everything seems to be lost. Even Shiori gets there on time to back up Kanako. But seconds before the cosmos is about to be plunged into yet another deadly war Kanako draws upon her Leadership powers, and proves once and for all why she is indeed worthy of being Leader. Somehow she convinces all the fighting parties to lay down their weapons and join forces instead. For a war would only serve to tear apart what they have built together, and in such a fight there are no victors. What good is the title of Leader, when all that you wished to lead has turned to ashes? And so it was that Kanako retained the title of Leader. Only a fool would think that the fight for the role of Leader is over, yet all sides now know that open war is not the way. The DECORATION crisis also shuffled the dynamics. All the cards are now on the table, and everyone knows who else wishes to claim the crown.
