  6. Takoyaki Rainbow, often written Tacoyaki Rainbow, is a five member idol group under Stardust. Originally planned to be a seven member group to fill the "rainbow" theme. They are an Osaka based group with all of the members being from Kansai. They debuted on September 17, 2012. They are referred to as "Stardust's Ultimate Weapon" and are not part of the Stardust sister trio (Momoiro Clover Z, Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku, and Team Syachihoko). Their fans are referred to as the "Niji Kazoku." They have yet to make their major debut. They are a joint project between Stardust Promotion and Aero Space entertainment company. They are referred to as Takoniji or Taconiji.

  89. Over the Takoyaki Rainbow PV:
  90. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0iuEFhrvZ4
  91. Not a bad song, just a bad idea. You need to get over this to enjoy them, though. I'm kind of ok with this song at this point.
  92.  
  93. Naniwa no Haniwa PV:
  94. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGGbOexLZTc
  95. The last PV to feature Towa. It's a pretty catchy song and great PV.
  96.  
  97. Zesshou! Naniwa de Umareta Shoujoutachi PV:
  98. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG8Lut2c8b8
  99. This is basically their "member intro" like PV a la Ikuze! Kaitou Shojou. It's good.
  100.  
  101. Genki Uri no Shoujou ~Namihana Meiuta Gojuu Sen~ PV:
  102. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdOsLuqX7j8
  103. Both my favorite song and PV so far. It's really good. At least I think so. Very Osaka.
  104.  
  105. Maicchingu☆Maimai Magic performance:
  106. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EqLh7fPmC8

  109. 15 no Melancholy performance:
  110. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvPbI4DOlGA
  111. Kuuchan and Sakitty duet. It is also really good, ok.

  113. Michiko to Clarice ~Kandou no Saikai-hen~ performance:
  114. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htQHJ7gsGb4
  115. Renren and Sakuchan duet. It's like a fucking stageplay song or some shit. It's fucking amazing.
  116.  
  117. Rainbow Revolution performance:
  118. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYpNaKQC_Dg
  119. Listen ok do I really need to have this line here saying it's good every time because just look if it's here it's good
  120.  
  121. Meccha FUNK performance:
  122. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rbcNU_A2Fw
  123. It is, in fact, meccha funk. Wendy will keep mentioning that Maimai's lisp makes it sound like meccha fuck.

  130. Wendy's favorite taco song
  131.  
  132. Other than that I would just recommend watching their concert: http://jpopsuki.eu/torrents.php?id=184078 I own it so like if you don't have jps I guess I can toss it elsewhere if you want. Also listen to the genki uri no shoujou b-sides since they're good but don't have readily available performances to watch.

  135. Personal Opinions
  136. ---------------------
  137. I think Takoniji are good. I genuinely think they are good now. Wendy kind of disagrees and I think you might also disagree, but I dunno. I like Takoniji. They are definitely the most momoclo-like of the other stardust groups. I love them a lot though. I have less to say here this time.

  145. Credit to http://momoirocloverz.wikia.com/wiki/Takoyaki_Rainbow for a lot of stuff, especially the kanji for Yuka's name being the exact same as Kurumi, I never would have thought that would be the case. Also I didn't know pink was a color in the rainbow before. Also getting dates wrong. But actually seriously everything you need to know is there so. Yeah.
