[2016.03.09] Country Girls 3rd Single - Boogie Woogie LOVE / Koi wa Magnet / Ranrarun~Anata ni Muchuu~

[Elpis]

This looks like it's going to be a cute MV. The heart lights in their eyes looked kind of creepy to me, but it is different. The backdrop looked kind of similar to Angerme's Maho Tsukai Sally but still noticeably different.

[TicTacAnyone]

This week's H!S featured the H!S edit of Boogie Woogie LOVE.

Really cute.

[MejraThea]

Ranrarun~Anata ni Muchuu~ PV! As well as full Koi wa Magnet.

[Mugi]

Country Girls really hit it on the head with this single.  I really love it!  I hope they do well.

[TicTacAnyone]

Does Koi wa Magnet feel slightly more K-pop than H!P to anyone else? Don't get me wrong, it's not super close... But I got that "atmosphere" from watching the MV.

[Shoujo Q]

Koi wa Magnet feels very early 80s Idol Pop to me more than anything. Especially with the dance moves. You can clearly tell that's the vein they were going for in regards to the way they dressed the girls. (But then Manaka's dance break kind of ruins it all. xD)

Yeah that's what I was thinking, too. Country Girls seems to be becoming more of a retro group than a country group. :D

I wonder if they coordinated the lolita outfits themselves because it's not great.  Wish they had someone at BABY help them instead. Meltia wins this round by far.

Pic related is what Momoko wore except in green. So much lost potential, you are supposed to look like a COUNTRY/folksy girl. But they coordinated all the dresses nearly the same even though they have clearly different themes

(Sorry lolita rant)
(Also, I prefer Elizabeth Kyamei way more even if she was dressed way worse, haha).

[Meikochi]

2nd on 1st day, with 30k sold.

[TicTacAnyone]

Even though it placed 2nd, that's a pretty solid amount sold first day. There was no way they were going to beat AKB anyway (which debuted the same day.) Seems their first week on this single will beat the first week on Wakattieru/Tamerai Summertime.

[MejraThea]

Ranrarun filming on Upcoming at 3:52, and more recording of Boogie as well. We get to see how they did the heart eyes thing and honestly that is not what I expected.

Really? Isn't that how they've always done heart eyes??

[MejraThea]

I don't know, but I've never actually seen it done before and it just surprised me lol. I don't know how I thought it was done. On the computer, maybe? I remember looking at the 3rd Love Escalation lights in their eyes and thinking it was cool and wondering how they did it.

[smtmissin]

I always thought they just wear heart-shaped contacts. o_O

[Meikochi]

2nd weekly with 42k sold, it's good !

[Shoujo Q]

You guys never knew they used a light? I know it's been a while since a H!P used the lens in the light trick but I just thought it was common knowledge that was how it was done. xD 

[Madara]

I bought this single in Japan and transferred it to my iTunes and then promptly forgot about it. I NEVER LISTENED TO IT...until today. I've heard the first and third songs in concerts and the Petit Best collection, but this was the first time I've heard "Koi wa Magnet" and it's the BEST of the three! Not only that, but probably my favorite CG song. Why don't they perform it live? I do have this year's CG concert DVD but haven't watched it yet. I'm assuming they perform it there.

Part of the reason they don't perform it live as much might be that Manaka graduated shortly after this single released and she was the center of this single (although lines were equal between her, Yamaki, and Momoko). They've mostly been performing concert only songs at their lives.

Thanks for those links, Saya. Where did they perform the concert clip (the one without Manaka)? I like that one better. Is it from this year's CG concert?
