It has been announced last March 4th that a special unit will be formed named "Kimoclo" as actress Kitagawa Keiko co-stars with the popular idol group Momoiro Clover Z.

Scheduled to premiere this spring is the NTV drama "Akumu-chan Special" where Kitagawa will star and perform under the limited unit "Kimoclo." In fact, the group itself will render their voice for the drama's theme song "Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimitachi yo." Added to that, Kitagawa takes dance lessons and vocal training for the film.

Just recently, Kimoclo held a press conference and Kitagawa with the image color, black appeared with the Momoclo members on an idol-ish costume. She then says with a smile, "I used to wear similar costume in Sailor Moon (live-action series), so it brings me back memories. I feel like I'm back to that time." And adds, "It is a curious thing, but I am not embarrassed."

In the conference, Kitagawa was asked if "Kimoclo" has to appear in a Momoclo concert though they were only formed for a drama, she answers with, "They are the idol group that represents Japan, you know. I would consider it if I become the most popular member. If there is a demand, I would do it, though I'm sure there won't be..."

Each Momoclo has their own catch phrases and if Kitagawa would have for herself, she wanted it to be something "silly."

Akumu-chan The Movie is scheduled for release in May together with the special drama.
