Momoiro Clover Z as Frieza Artwork Created by ANIMAREAL

On April 29, Momoiro Clover Z released their new single, “The Oath of Z,” the theme song from the Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' film. The art project ANIMAREAL became the focus of global attention when they created and released shocking overly-realistic visuals of the band as Frieza as an April Fool’s joke. On April 1, the “Real Frieza” images were put on the official Momoiro Clover Z website, and drew a great deal of attention.

ANIMAREAL is an art project that creates images blending anime and real life, using special make-up and 3D computer graphics, under the theme of “If people in anime really existed.”

Beginning with the realization of Gintoki Sakata from Gintama: The Movie, ANIMEREAL also participated in a Tetsuo Hara exhibition at Honno-ji Temple in Kyoto. There at the “Ikusa no Ko” exhibition they realized Nobunaga with an overwhelming sense of presence. In 2014, they were also invited to the annual Japan Expo in Paris that brought out 20,000 attendees. They have made a name for themselves as artists promoting a new “Cool Japan” image.

Currently ANIMAREAL are having their photos based on Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail serialized in Monthly Fairy Tail Magazine. They are also extremely busy with the realization of Masahito Soda’s “Ten Prism” as well as attending many events.

The guys at ANIMAREAL are now in charge of the artwork for Momoiro Clover Z’s new single, “The Oath of Z,” but this time it’s not an April Fool’s joke!

Here we can see a location resembling a temple from Dragon Ball as well as floating stones, that suggest Ki. Also, we can see a realization of Frieza’s ship in a background that looks like Namek.

The head of ANIMAREAL project, Mr. Ichi, explained, “To date we have been dedicated to seeing how far we could reproduce the world of manga and characters in reality. However this time we are taking actual people with us into that world.” He went on to say, "It was a new approach for us, but I think we succeeded. The April Fool’s images were meant as a joke to a certain extent, but I think the artwork for the CD jacket is very cool.”

This is ANIMAREAL, reproducing the world of anime in our own. We can’t take our eyes off their artwork!
