They also gave free concerts in electronics stores and sold CDs by themselves. They used to perform on park walkways for passers-by. The group gives a special emphasis to closeness to the fans and its slogan is "Idols you can meet right now" ( いま、会えるアイドル, Ima, aeru aidoru). The group is nicknamed "Weekend Heroines" ( 週末ヒロイン, Shūmatsu Hiroin), because most of its members are students and the group is active mainly on weekends. Then, the management added the letter "Z" to the name. In 2011, the group faced a crisis because subleader Akari Hayami suddenly quit. The name was chosen to show that the band was composed of innocent girls who wanted to bring happiness to people. It was originally named "Momoiro Clover", which means "Pink Clover".

The group formed in the spring of 2008 and officially debuted as a six-member unit a year later.

Overall, the group and its music are progressive and forward-thinking. Nevertheless, they never lipsynch on stage. Because of the hard dances, the girls' voices are not very stable. The response from the audience is also enthusiastic. The group is known for their chaotic energy that is similar to that of punk bands. Their live performances are heavily choreographed and acrobatic. Momoclo's songs are "hyperactive J-pop numbers". Kanako Momota, the leader, is famous for performing Shrimp Jump ( エビぞりジャンプ)
