[3/25] Country Girls major debut single "Itooshikutte Gomen ne / Koi Dorobou" (with Momoko)

[Shabranikuduu]

Ah congrats, that's amazing! I was hoping they'd sell around 30k, but this! Amazing (my vocabulary is so limited, haha).

Only a week after their debut, Country Girls are already among the top selling groups in H!P. This group is really something.

As a side note, Itooshikute gomen ne has already outsold most Country Musume singles :

1. Hajimete no Happy Birthday! - 142 340
2. Koibito wa Kokoro no Ouendan - 93 070
3. Iroppoi Onna ~SEXY BABY~ - 55 690
4. Itooshikute gomen ne/Koi Dorobo - 45 032
5. Bye Bye Saigo no Yoru - 30 018

The rest have sold less than half of Country Girls' first single sales. This is only the first week so I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Iroppoi Onna in total sales.

Finally, this is the best major debut for a H!P unit since the Golden Era (excluding shuffles). Juice=Juice sold 37k first week, S/mileage 20k (ANGERME: 43k), Buono! 29k, Ongaku Gatas 11k, °C-ute 23k, GAM 24k, v-u-den 33k, W 26k, and Berryz Kobo, 9k.

I had no idea Hajimete no Happy Birthday was Country Musume's best selling single O.o That was before Satoda's time wasn't it?

Here's hoping Country Girls can eventually beat it!

Okay i thought getting third place was a big achievement but 45k for their debut???? That is MINDBLOWING!!

^ Apparently, Chisaki is still commuting from Tochigi. It takes her 2 hours each time.

Wow this kind of number for their debut single? That is just awesome!!!

They deserve this so much. They are so solid and I already love them so much.

I'm quite shocked that Angerme got 3 new members, a new name and pretty much a complete rebranding and yet Country Girls with all new faces, no indies and a fresh fan base sold more than them in the first week.

But when I think about it I love this single more than Taiki Bansei and Otome no Gyakushuu. I mean I love both singles, but I like this one more... And I'm more excited for this group as a whole.
