New Country Musume auditions (Country・Girls)

She's not going to let go of one of the things that has gained her popularity in the entertainment world.

No twin tails during the country girls PVs.

On TV is fine.

Well, she's not wearing the musubi when she's introduced at 18:38. I would take that as a good sign.

She doesn't wear the musubi that much when it comes to PVs, single covers, and some apppearances, but usually on TV shows, she'll wear them.

I'm kind of confused. From what I understood Momoko is supposed to be a manager of sorts, right? Someone who teaches them how to be idols but isn't a member of the group. Some of the posts here and kind of leading to the second conclusion.

Can someone confirm?

edit: OH. I watched the rest of the video. I understand the whole "playing manager" thing now. Woops. >_______>

I was thinking earlier, at how incredibly lucky Country Girls will be in having both Satoda and Momochi as their mentors. Both of them are idols who know how to essentially claw your way up from the bottom and build a name for yourself, so as far as appearing on variety shows goes, the girls have some good role models to take after.

After watching the next set of Country Girls footage, I like Shimamura a lot more. Her shock read as disinterested to me in the first video, so seeing her relax a bit and seem glad about the news and about being the group with someone she recognizes is great. I didn't like Mai much at first, but she already seems like she's going to be their mood-maker/everybody's bff in the group.

And is it just me, or does Manakan give off Momoko vibes? Maybe it's because all of her reactions so far have been so idolish, even when the camera isn't focused on her she's smiling and sitting cutely. And it reminded me of how Momoko's idolness is on 24/7. Of all the new things happening next year, I think I am excited to see what happens with Country Girls and S/mileage the most.

I agree, but please no twin tails

Exactly, please, more twin tails.

Spoiler: show

[Jessi]

That was terrifying.....

[aerosuffly]

It actually looks pretty good on Manaka.
