“Momoiro Clover Z Invented Member Colors and Fan Names,” Claims Post — Johnny’s Fans Fire Back, 5ch Erupts in Debate

Written by

When a post claiming “Momoiro Clover Z originated member colors and fan names” was shared on 5ch’s Hello! Project board, fans of M!LK and Chou Tokkyu (Bullet Train) pushed back, arguing “that doesn’t apply to us — we have agency-official fan names.”

The thread saw pushback pointing out that Hello! Project already had member colors as far back as 2004, along with discussion citing photos of Berryz Koubou, and the argument over who was really “first” never converged, running on in parallel lines to the end.

To all the Johnny's fans out there bashing M!LK and Chou Tokkyu — you might not know this, but I want to say it loud: Momoiro Clover Z is the true originator of member colors and fan names

So Hello!Project fans ("Haro-ota") don't even have an agency-official fan name either, huh? lol
19Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:38:46.63

Never thought of "Haro-ota" as an actual fan name

Wait, Momoiro Clover Z predates Shonentai? Didn't know that___

So ignorant
You didn't even know that?


That's just how a Monofu's (Momoiro Clover Z fan) brain works
44Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:54:13.37
Does Momoiro Clover Z even have a hit song that actually got famous?
49Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 21:56:32.92
>>44
Wasn't there literally a song called something like "I Want to Be a Hit and Get Famous"?

Berryz's aura is something else

First time seeing this lol
87Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 22:52:49.51
Probably the work of a hardcore anti posing as a self-proclaimed Monofu
95Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 23:21:49.07
>>87
Monofus lie like this without batting an eye
90Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 23:15:24.12
Why are the Garakasu (derogatory nickname for a fan group) getting worked up again?
Enlighten me, Mr./Ms. Monofu
103Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 23:27:34.46
>>90
Yeah, totally worked up

Member colors and fan names have been around forever, but if the claim is "Momoiro Clover Z may have been the first to push them this hard," I could kind of see that.
But when you flat-out say they "originated" member colors, I'm like, no, that's been a thing way before.

They weren't first
101Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 23:27:22.71
Momoiro Clover Z does have an "original" of their own though — the princess-carry two-shot cheki (instant photo)

Ah, the hug events, brings back memories

They used to do stuff like this? lol
113Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 00:59:44.78
When did member colors actually start in Hello!Project?
Forgot when the original-gen members first got member colors
120Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:06:03.57
>>113
At least by 2004 it already existed
119Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:05:58.22
Johnny's fans have been losing it ever since Ebidan went million-seller
123Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:07:19.03
>>119
I see
Though M!LK fans have been pretty unhinged lately too
125Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:09:03.42
>>119
Lately it's mainly Kiteretsu (fan nickname for another idol group) fans losing it
136Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:13:48.55
Stardust granpa (a Stardust Promotion/Momoiro Clover Z old-timer fan) — definitely a Monofu
Just by posting here, that's obvious
So how about Red marrying a Johnny's guy, huh? lol
140Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:16:30.47

Was self-posting under multiple names until just a moment ago, then vanished — guess it hit a nerve lol
147Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:19:26.77
>>136
This is exactly that kind of thing
Still going on about the marriage
No Monofu actually cares, but the fact that "married with kids" gets Johnny's fans this riled up shows how much marriage stuff really stings them
That's probably why they keep throwing the same jab back
176Anonymous2026/08/26(水) 01:30:50.78
The guy who keeps yelling "there's a Monofu on the Ookami board!" is probably a hardcore Johnny's fan himself
Acts like only Hello!Project fans exist on Ookami (the Hello!Project discussion board) lol

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

What do you mean?
