'Rōdō Sanka' (労働讃歌, 'Hymn to Labor') is the 6th single by the Japanese female idol group Momoiro Clover Z, released in Japan on November 23, 2011.[1]
The single was released in three versions: the Limited Editions A and B and the Regular Edition. The limited editions came with a DVD featuring a music video, but contained only two different songs on the CD in comparison to three on the regular CD-only edition.[2][3]
The title track praises the nobility of labor.[4] The lyrics repeat 'Hatarakō, hatarakō' (働こう, 'Let's work!').[5] The lyrics were written by Kenji Otsuki,[6] the music and arrangement were by Ian Parton from the UK band The Go! Team.[1]
The music video for the song features the five group members working in an office in so-called 'energy-saving suits' (省エネスーツ) and on a construction site in workwear.[4] The 'energy-saving suits' are half-sleeve tropical salaryman suits, worn with short-sleeved open-necked shirts. This kind of suit was heavily promoted by the Japanese government in the 1970s as a means to save energy on air conditioning at the time of the oil crisis.[7]
The B-side 'Santa-san' was produced by Kenichi Maeyamada, who had written for Momoiro Clover such trademark songs as 'Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo', 'Coco Natsu',[4] and 'Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei'.[8]
The Regular Edition also features a third song titled 'Bionic Cherry', which was a theme song for the movie Salvage Mice.[9]
