Yay for them! They're both very talented so I can't wait to see how they perform!

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Musubu should do better than Country Girls but at least she's debuting.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
They're cute and I've been waiting for now members. I know Musubu is a good singer, how's the other girl?

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Nanami's pretty good, too. Here's the DDZnY duet audition (starts at 40:21), and here's the solo Mr. Moonlight audition (Yanagawa at 43:44). How Yokogawa made it to the duet stage I have no idea, though. The results were, by the way: Kaga and Takase, Ichioka and Danbara, Funaki and Ichioka. (Seeing as of all 4 of my favorites are here, and it's my favorite song, I've watched it quite a few times lol)

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Funaki is my favorite KSS so I'm glad she's debuting. They fit CG's image, but I hope the next single is a little more demanding while staying cute, there's enough performance power in the group I think.
Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Two questions. First video, who's the girl with the ponytail and clipped back bangs? Second video, who's the one that starts singing after Ruru at like 47:13?
After being a fan of Kaneko for years I kind of make a point of not getting attached to trainees until they debut.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
I'm actually pretty happy Funaki is debuting into Country Girls. I think she fits the image well and will be able to shine more than in other groups.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Wow I'm really happy for those two, especially Nanami. This is so sudden, but I get it. Uta is gone now, and Momo has been sick plus will eventually leave in the next couple years. A 4 member group is risky.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
I'm not surprised there's a second gen. But I didn't expect it'd be this soon. I'm glad Funaki is debuting (finally!). I would've expected her to join ANGERME but this'll probably work. I don't know as much about Nanami but I"ll probably learn. Overall, I'm surprised they didn't add Takase Kurumi.

Old Country Musume added new people every year from 1999-2003, too. Though Country Girls is losing them more slowly.

Country Musume was always small so I kinda liked the idea of Country Girls being a smaller group. But I don't really mind since they chose two really good Kenshuusei for 2nd gen.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
I'm happy for Musubu but I don't like Country Girls so I won't enjoy her as much as I could.
The other girl is the one who got in Mr. Moonlight with Kaede and Ruru or the new girl with abs who sang Kimi Sae Ireba on that Kenshuusei competition? I can't tell them apart

I was wondering if one of them would get yellow or if Mai would be like "No that's Uta's color!"

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
I really like Funaki, it just killed my Danbara vibe reading this hahaha. But seriously, I think these are great additions to the group.Not trying to be overdramatic but when Uta left CG's appeal dropped dramatically. The way the group worked changed.... They really needed that extra support back. Plus hopefully this will push the 1st gen to work harder when they get talented 2nd gen in like this. Excited Funaki got her debut (BUT WHEN MY DANBARAAAAAA)

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
I honestly only think Ruru would only succeed in a group specifically tailored to suit her and whomever else they might put with her. I don't see her fitting in any of the current groups.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
It's sudden but I'm happy those 2 were chosen !
HP will have change a lot by the end of the year, wow.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Video of the Country Girls event and shows the reactions of the girls when told. <a class="bbc_url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_dhuT2ZsuU">A must watch!</a>
Musubu reminds me of Kudo when she talks, a little less husky. Nanami is cute but she reminds me of someone, like an older egg back before they were rebranded into Trainees.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Quite unexpected but I'm all for a 2nd gen :)
I still don't know much about KSS but since a lot of you are saying these 2 are pretty talented I don't mind them becoming a part of CG :) It's already a small group so they'll hopefully have some sort of chance to shine :)

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
First of all I'm excited because they were singing my favorite song at the beginning of the video. And the new girls are SO cute. I love them already.

Re: Country Girls 2nd Gen!
Rewatching the intro video... and Risa looks pissed that there are new members. She was excited for the "surprise" and then when Momo told it, she barely smiled the entire time during the announcement. When they were setting up the surprise and introducing the girls, she looked like she was warming up to the idea, but she was the only one who didn't look excited.

I haven't seen the video... but they seriously had a situation where there were new members backstage and not all the current members even knew?
