So the "Country Girls 4 Shuunen Kinen Event ~forte~" DVD has hit the internet, and some things to note.   1. The girls were wearing these cute outfits (ex: Risa / Nanami ) that are IMO CG's best costumes since their slow-down, but the pattern is completely not friendly to being filmed. I'm...

Finally, we get to hear one of the ONLY YOU girls actually sing. Looking forward to mah bae Sakurako.

College Cosmos debuts their other two A-sides.

I think a full concert featuring C-ute is possible as a one-off, many years down the line. Like Taiyou to Ciscomoon reuniting in 2009.

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Madara" data-cid="216985" data-time="1550224340">Will this come out on disc?</blockquote> The second concert on 03/11 is Nanami's graduation live. You can definitely expect to see that released, I'm sure.

Sankaime honestly left no impression on me whatsoever, so I'm happy to say that I LOVE Fuwari. It's beautiful.

Uwaki na Honey Pie '15? Did they update the instrumental or something and I didn't notice?   Also, the setlist is nice enough, but awfully boring. If the plan was to have Nanami on stage the whole time, it would have been cool to have the songs mixed through the setlist, and not just split right dow...

Waaayyy too much BEYOOOOONDS. I understand that it was good for them, but J=J fans are not by default H!P fans. I'm sure it was easily very exhausting to see them so much for a lot of people, as it was for me.   But the concert itself was great. The sub-units were great, and the stage set-up was SO ...

Both of their Trolls songs are covers, aren't they? I don't see why they'd have the rights to sell one and not the other. I'm sure it'll pop up eventually.

I don't LOVE the song yet, but I can subjectively recognize its quality. It's kind of like a faster-paced "Synchro." IMO, which has yet to stick with me.

I like the covers a lot, honestly. Clean, simple, nothing too ridiculous. I gotta say though, I HATE the "Good bye & Good luck!" outfits. The color scheme is pleasing and I like a pleather jacket on most anything, but everything looks so ill fitting! Hopefully it's better in motion, bu...

Yeaaahh, I dunno if I buy that. They keep producing blurays and photobooks of her, so clearly there are people wanting to buy them. And most of the time when I see people talk about handshake events, it seems that Maria is one of the most popular.

I'm in legitimate shock about Kurumi and Ichioka's hair, lol. Kurumi looks great though.

I'm hella into it. This is totally the kind of thing that got me into Japanese music. I'm getting all my BeForU feels, haha.

^ That's the most logical. The only thing I see that doesn't follow is What is LOVE?, which is the 3rd A-side of that single. It's definitely the A-side they perform the most, though. I hate Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa, so I'll gladly take anything else haha.

Oh. Well that makes a lot more sense lol.

Surprise Wakacchanai feat. Riho and Zukki.   Also, TYPE B Seishun is new, right? Never heard of it. I wonder if it'll be like TYPE B of Tsumetai, with a different composition and line distribution (solos for 12th gen? Lines for Karin!? Haha) . I wish they'd put Tsumetai B on here, it'd be nice to fi...

I'm excited as hell, CG made me an idol fan and they're still my favorite group. But one new song? I understand if they don't want to commit the resources to writing new songs, but they could have easily re-recorded more songs to make it a longer release.   Hell, fill it with Country Musume covers (...

Did they announce anything about the Karin songs being released? Because this isn't the first time Karin has performed her own original music at a birthday event. She did one in 2016 called "Pink Moment" and it was never released (and I don't think it was included on the DVD? Can't say for...

[quote="Anderei"] Might just be Beyonds members and not a third separate group. [/quote]   I saw people saying the audition girls would be a third group, but to this day I don't know if that was actually announced or just widespread speculation. I was expecting them to only be members of B...

I'm going to the concert, but not the con.

Juice=Juice is my favorite group now that Country Girls is what it is. But with Morning Musume, I lost a lot of interest not after Sayu, but after Riho. (I thought '15 was actually a pretty great year for them.) They've had some good songs since then, but I just find them to be a lot less interestin...

So she'll probably graduate during a J=J hall tour, but I really hope CG will be involved. I think it'd be great if they did a one day live at Nakano Sun Plaza where J=J and CG are BOTH the headliners. Buuuuut we can probably just expect a Juice=Juice live with Country Girls guest performances.

The last two Budokans, I expected to hear about a Yuka grad. I was lukewarm to Nanami in CG, but I think she really blossomed in Juice=Juice and I'm sad to see her go. That being said, I'm also happy to see Juice=Juice shrink a little. I wonder what this means for Country Girls though. I can't see t...
