[3/25] Country Girls major debut single "Itooshikutte Gomen ne / Koi Dorobou" (with Momoko)

[erin]

I don't see what the point of the releasing the indies single is if they are just going to put this out shortly after...
At least do a new song or something.

Country Girls and ANGERME (after C-ute of course) are peaking my currently peaking my interest. Just feels right . I hope they song Berryz Koubou type songs

[Jessi]

NO not Berryzkobou music.

I would rather the new KSS unit do Berryz type stuff.

And more like Inazuma era Berryz stuff too.

It kind of looks from what Satoda Mai said they won't release this as an Indie at all now, the plan's changed.

C'mon Itoshikutte Gomen ne is something Berryz would never do. And Koi dorobo too.

I think they are going the Uwaki no Honey Pie route. A little bit Mini moni and a little bit early S/mileage.... With a splash of Koharu as Kirari.

Stuff kids could get into. I love it!

The only time Berryz appealed to kids is when they were kids!

The only Berryz song I could see this group doing is maybe Piriri to Yukou

[Shoujo Q]

I think the indie single release is to give the newbies s leg up in the promotion department. Since they are going so quickly into a major release they could use the experience.

[Jessi]

I wonder if this is because Country Girls have gained a lot of popularity during the winter concerts.

Or maybe all the Uta love is why Tsunku thinks this could go straight to major debut?

[Denki]

^fyi, Tsunku is not producing this unit. In fact, he might not even produce the new KSS unit.

The indies single was initially a challange to see if they were ready to debut. I always assumed that they won't be releasing a major debut single until Momoko is freed from Berryz Koubou because they will be blessed with promotions by then. I mean, both Momoko and Manakan were promoting a lot in Hokkaido (both TV and radio) for this Hokkaido Harocon.

I guess the possivite feedback from the group / songs made Satoda Mai realized that the girls may not be 100% polished, but are ready for their major debut. In my opinion, it's smart to release this single since it is still fresh and catchy to their current audience. I mean, only a few hundred of people will be the indies single prior to general release (if they ever decided to), while their major debut will have thousands of copies sold.

Also, I don't know why people (particularly from H!O) are assuming they are ditching their indies single, since no one mentioned cancelling the release. All indie singles within H!P are a waiting game. I mean, the KSS album was properly announce literally a few days before it's release.

You guys said all I want to said
To summary:
1. We think the group will stay with the cutesy image
2. With this image, Momo presence will help a lot. Remember she is a regular on Oha Star. You don't want Uta as a new Oha Girl?
3. And Momo know everything about H!P idol business. She will be a good mentor.
4. Heck, she HAS a bachelor in teaching! She will be a good mentor.
3. And in any case, the indy release, weather it is going to happen or not, will help the new girls to learn the process.

I think it is going to be Awesome. Uta as an Oha Girl please! And Risa on NHK teen program.
