5/6/2026 - The Saga of Sector V = Either you're in or you're old
This is a reference to Momoiro Clover Z’s “Battle and Romance” (from their 2011 album), where the five girls Kanako Momota (Red, Center), Shiori Tamai (Yellow, Bottom Right), Reni Takagi (Purple, Top Right), Momoka Ariyasu (Green, Top Left), and Ayaka "Aarin" Sasaki (Pink, Bottom Left) wore black turtlenecks against a black background, creating a striking optical illusion.
Three years ago, I cast Sector V as Momoclo.
For the girls, I originally cast Abby as Reni and Kuki as Ayaka, but it didn’t feel quite right. So I switched them: Kuki as Reni and Abby as Ayaka. Kuki fits Reni perfectly with her face shape and long hair, plus I love the word “Biribiri.” Abby suits Ayaka well in terms of fashion sense, and they both start with “A” plus “Abby Dayo” is a fun nod to “Aarin Dayo.”
Final Sector V × Momoclo Casting:
Nigel Uno (Numbuh 1) as Kanako Momota (Red, Center) — Both are the natural leaders.
Hoagie Gilligan (Numbuh 2) as Shiori Tamai (Yellow, Bottom Right) Both have big appetites.
Kuki Sanban (Numbuh 3) as Reni Takagi (Purple, Top Right) Perfect fit in face, hair, and energy.
Wallabee "Wally" Beetles (Numbuh 4) as Momoka Ariyasu (Green, Top Left) Both are short in height (even though Momoka left the group in 2018 - Graduated in January 21st, 2018).
Abigail "Abby" Lincoln (Numbuh 5) as Ayaka "Aarin" Sasaki (Pink, Bottom Left) Fashion compatibility and the shared “A” name connection.
