Momoko will join them after Berryz ends.


The songs are nice, and the girls sound pretty good (some better than others, but no one stood out as terrible). Itoshikute has an 80's idol vibe.

[ShiroiChanUK]

I really love the sound of "Itoshikutte Gomen Ne"! :) I'm with those who are reminded of "Waracchaou yo Boyfriend" when they listen to this song :)

[MejraThea]

I had Itoshikutte Gomen Ne stuck in my head all day yesterday. Aaaaaaaaaand it's back.

[Elpis]

They have the cutesy sound like old S/mileage. I hope it'll stay that way.

[momoirosaya]

This single will be released 1/31 according to CD Journal magazine (I'll link it later).


Odd since it's not a Wednesday...

[Shoujo Q]

Indie versions just release on any day. The major debut with Momoko is being released on 3/25.

[momoirosaya]

Here's the news about that <a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.helloproject.com/countrygirl ... s/2397/</a>

So they're just doing the same songs, but with all 6 girls now.

[TicTacAnyone]

I heard that they will actually skip the indies release and Koi Dorobou and Itooshikutte Gomen ne will be their major debut, just with Momoko on the track as well. CONFLICTING.

[NekoKaiSai]

^That's my understanding from the link that Saya posted.  Here's an article from barks.  It says that the indies single without Momoko that was to be released on January 31st was changed to a major debut single with Momoko to be released on March 25th.

[momoirosaya]

I hope we get the 2 tracks without Momo as bonus tracks.

[Shoujo Q]

Press of Country Girl's (It's going to take me awhile to stop from trying to write Musume.) major debut with Q&A and concert footage.
 
Momoko seems to be regulated to the back of the formation.

[NekoKaiSai]

Well she is their playing manager.  I think her roll is to help bring fans and publicity to the group while also helping the other girls with all things idol related.

I'm happy that they're getting their debut! I wonder if it has anything to do with the addition of the new KSS group since they will be doing indies too, maybe they want CG to be the clear senior group to them...

Momoko does most of the talking which is expected as she has the most experience, but I wish in the interview they had Uta and Chisaki say something too. I'm glad Manaka and Risa feel comfortable talking so there is some banter between them.

<div>Full radio rip of Itooshiku tte.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It sounds like they rerecorded the vocals compared to the last vocal rip, and did some things different. I don't hear any Momo solos, but she might be in this in the chorus?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>(Now excuse me while I leave this on repeat forever.)</div>

[momoirosaya]

Momo shared Risa's first solo during the live performance with the 6 of them. It was only a short clip though so I'm not sure about the rest of the song.

[momoirosaya]

Release info There's going to be 4 versions, Reg A & B and LE A & B.
 
Kodama Ameko did both songs (she also wrote Otome no Gyakushuu and did Karin's Copink songs). I wonder if she's going to take on Country Girls.

[smtmissin]

Country Girls is full of exceptionally cute girls, who are cute in a natural way, unlike so many others who just act cute. Their cuteness is just overwhelming, surely the group can survive on it for a few years. I'm a bit anticipating how they'll do when they gets older though. Surely they'll be pretty, but cute?  I'm not sure. Not many groups can be like C-ute (who is now S-exy).

[momoirosaya]

New profile pics were uploaded, so I assume these are the outfits for Koi Dorobou.
CG looks really put together as a group.
 

[sayu1991]

I still think that Momoko has no place being in this group. Sorry to Momoko fans but I really hope that they'll keep her in the background of songs and PVs and just use her for tv shows. The "hiatus" of Berryz hopefully also means the death of Momochi. CG are cute and I really like Gomen Ne so far. I'd hate for H!P to push Momoko and overshadow the actual group

[Meikochi]

Gomen Ne is a bit too cute for me but I'm waiting for Koi no Dorobou (and I quite like the outfits).

To me Momoko doesn't seem ill-fitted in the group and I'm sure she'll be great for them for talk shows (from what I saw at Japan Expo, she was very good at it).

[momoirosaya]

Momoko is a great way to push CG into the main eye. Honestly I think they're teally lucky to have her.

[mrsross]

I didn't notice Momoko at first. As long as the Momochi pigtails don't show up I'm happy. I know that Momoko is in the group the same way as Miki, Konno, and Rika were in the old Country Musume. I wonder when she's done being in the group if anyone will replace her like how they did Country Musume.

You should probably prepare to be very disappointed.

[Shoujo Q]

Preview of CG's Gomen song was broadcast today on the news.
 

[momoirosaya]

Oh my gosh that PV looks so cute! I expect we'll get the full thing on Wednesday. I wonder if they scrapped the old outfits they've been using in honor of their major debut or if they'll use them for Kou Dorobou.

[arcobaleno]

I think it's cute, but it's a little too monochrome and boring for me as of now. I wish there was a bit more color in it, but the girls are increeeeeedibly cute.

[eri]

Dance looks stupid (apology teapot, that's whst if looks like to me) and why do they try to do these angular precise choreography with these kinds of groups? Just do cute moves!!


But I like the all white - looks very pure and simple.


Best song of 2015.

[star]

Their dancing just looks off to me, which I dont mind much since its a new group. I do like the white though, it looks nice and clean.

[momoirosaya]

I feel like the MV clip shown on Hello Station showed less than that preview from Sutasupo. I like how Momo is control them like dolls in the beginning, it was really cute!


There were a lot of close ups of Uta and Chisaki probably because they were hosting. Their lip synching looks a bit off though, Uta's especially, it's like she's not moving her mouth enough so it looks strange. Not Momo or Risa or Manakan or Mai though. Theirs looked fine.
