New Country Girls members KSS Funaki Musubu & Yanagawa Nanami

[sada*]

I don't get why they chose Funaki but Nanami can definitely supply some of the vocal power that's been lacking. She's definitely seems like a center to me.

? what would make u say that
Funaki is definitely the better stable performer between the two girls since she's been around longer.

Skoban has a blog post compiling some questions from their interviews as kenshuusei:

Its nice to see how eager and optimistic Nanami is. She really looks up to Sayumi and has her smart personality.

haha what? Musubu is like... an AMAZING SINGER.

Funaki also has an aura to her that reminds me of Uta a bit. It's not the same kind of thing, but she's got an awkward cuteness to her that's quite charismatic.

Country Girls seems to be more about character than ability (though there are some girls with some high level ability, Manaka is a dancing queen, period) and I think that's what's been the thing that's stood out to me the most about Funaki.

Nanami had always been the "cute" one to me among the new KSS, but now that I've heard her speak I totally get why she got tapped for CG, someone needs to be an excellent speaker once Momochi finally feels ready to graduate from idol-dom.

I don't really follow KSS at all so I'm not sure if I've seen that Nanami girl before. She seems extraordinarily well-poised. But Funakki, with Riho leaving, wouldn't she be better suited for MM? Imma just pretend to myself that Momochi twisted someone's arm to get her into CG.

I was judging from the recent KKS videos in GREEN ROOM. The whole audition they had for that Riho x Sakura duet. I didn't find Funaki's performance very impressive.

You should go check out her stuff from the recitals, and kenshuusei act challenges as well!
She's very stable and has a very fun personality that's perfect for Country Girls.

/she kinda reminds me of Yaguchi in how shes short-limbed and fun

[Jessi]

Could someone possibly post Nanami and Musubu's recent recital performances and any other videos of the two girls so that we could get a sense of their abilities? I just don't know where to find it.

[AyuHikaru]

I've been looking for the recital that made me a huge Musubu fan (2014) but I can't find it anywhere

[Shabranikuduu]

I think this is the first time we heard 20th gen sing? Danbara has Risako's lines and Funaki has Miyabi's (I think, I'd have to check, basically Ruru goes first, then Funakki).
