Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
Can we put Masaki in it so she can be the token Hokkaido girl please? I'm so happy Country Musume is coming back.
This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
This is awesome, but I'm confused. I thought Mai was moving to the US with her husband? I'm kind of worried that the age limit is 10~17. With Mai being almost 30, that's setting up the group for a hell of an age gap. I wonder if they intend to just keep her around to use her variety TV fame to get the new girls out there and then have her graduate once the new group is established =/

It'll probably be more of a passing of the torch, rather than Mai being an active member.

Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
According to jplop, Satoda was just there to announce, she won't be participating because of the US move
Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
I read that as "Coconuts Musume" and thought to myself "please no"...

Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
Mai was saying in her message that she was worried that CM would go away if she moved, she she wants girls to carry on her feelings and become the new CM.

Exactly my thoughts! Putting an MM member in it would be a great selling point. I honestly really only like the CM songs with the MM members in it.
I wonder if they're going to use any of the Hokkaido eggs (Tanaka Karen & Inaba Manaka). I want Manaka to be in MM, but if she got to debut in CM that'd be cool too!

I would hope so, but right right it's being shown as an Up-Front Audition, not H!P.

Eh, I don't see this doing well. Not on its own or even with current H!P members already in it.

I would have preferred revamped Country Musume and Coconuts Musume lineups to all that Satoumi and Satoyama back-to-the-land-and-sea nonsense. If they're gonna go back to the land, send them to Hokkaido and give them cowboy hats, cowboy boots and guitars, for cryin' out loud! I think Masaki could do just fine in such a setup.
Meanwhile, Mai Satoda is in my home borough at a Yankee press conference as I type this. I should have been there welcoming her!

The way I see it is that they had a hard time getting anyone to care about the themed MM knockoffs then and they're definitely not going to succeed at it now.

Agreed. I never really cared for country Musume or any of the themed Musume groups with the exception of temporary ones with Momusu former or current members. If I am understanding this correctly this was pieced together or Mai's wishes?
It seems odd to me primarily because she moved to the other side of the planet. While auditions are happening in Japan.

Coconuts Musume was bad... I don't diss groups often but Coconuts Musume... just watch some of their music videos.

Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
That's not what I meant lol, I mean like get a group of girls with the Coconuts sound...Like I was more interested in the whole island-y sounding songs than the hokey country stuff (pre-Fujimoto / Konno).
I do agree the original 5 Coconuts was pretty bad though...at least Jounetsu Yuki Miraisen was a bopper....but I couldn't remember any of Country Musume's stuff except Uwaki na Honey Pie, Shining Itoshiki Anata, and Hajimete no Happy Birthday! (due to recent amount of performances).

^Futari no Hokkaido wasn't that bad of a song either, they just never performed it live.

For the most part, but "Tokonatsu Musume" is all kinds of awesome. And Danielle, for all the shit she took, was one of the best singers the H!P ever had.

Re: New Unit! - Country•Girls
And also, the 2nd Round for Country Musume auditions have ended as well.
http://www.countrymusume-audition.com/pc/news/
I wouldn't be surprised if both of these are announced at the same time. (Preferably at some point near the end of the H!P concert series.)

Weird. So... are they going to redo the auditions or are they just going to scrap the whole thing?
