Song of the Day #78: Momoiro Clover Z – Push

For being the B-Side to the structurally fascinating and weird Otome Sensou, Push is relatively straight-forward as a song. What makes it work is how good of a song it is – this was written for the 2012 Olympics, and so this is a song to pump up the listeners. It works really well at this – there’s energy throughout, and the verse builds nicely to the chorus. This energy is really aided by MomoClo’s performance – Momoiro Clover Z is known for a lot of things, but their energy while performing is one of them. They are the perfect group to handle a song like Push. The energy in the lyrics, the melody, and performed by the members all combines to make a great song.

While Push may be fairly conventional as a song, its video is nothing but – the members of the group are dressed as Ancient Greek Olympians throughout the video. The video actually looks great, and even if this is silly (Momoka hams it up) it works remarkably well.
