[9/28] Country Girls 4th Single "Doo Datte Ii no / Namida no Request"

[forgetmenots]

I didn't really feel like this was any stronger/weaker than the previous singles. I've honestly felt it was on the same level.

I think more of the problem lies with that it's following the trend of all the other idol groups who've been on Oricon lately. H!P has been relying heavily on those multiple sales.

I heard several times here in Japan from country girls fans that they could understand that I'm not into them too much because of the music.I think that might be the main problem next to the line up changes.

But I wouldn't like it if Up Front decides to go for a more mainstream audience instead of the current mix that makes up the H!P sound. Even if it means more similar songs for Country Girls.

If they change the music style for Country Girls, I probably wouldn't remain a fan of them. Unlike idol fans I'm a fan of the music before I'm a fan of the girls, though liking a few of them usually helps me stick with them. Oricon is just pulling the wool off the sheep that are idol groups. It's pretty bare under there.

I'd be okay with them stepping away from the '50s feeling stuff again, especially if they want to give me more in the vein of "Koi wa Magnet".

So long as they're doing a throwback style, I think it's still going to be in their acceptable vintage vein.
