Mmmm. I used to really dislike Momoko way before because I generally can't stand girls that are so cutesy (especially with their voice) that it seems heavily forced. This performance was the one that turned me around (probably partly because I LOVE that song), I didn't love her but I could hella appreciate her voice. A little sad to see her go but only because I'll probably never hear her sing like this again.

Country Girls plans post-Momoko:
-Morito, Yanagawa and Funaki will simultaneously be part of another unit
-Yamaki (2nd year university) and Ozeki (1st year high school) want to focus on schooling and because of that...
-...Country Girls will only be active during school holidays when all girls can participate in activities

Any new Country Girls songs will probably be digital only.

Damn!!! Talk about a shake-up!
Wasn't expecting this at all!

I have literally no idea what to think.

I suspect that the "another unit" will include the debuting KSS.

^ That would be an odd mix since Morito, Yanagawa, and Funaki are all small while the debuting KSS are all tall.

I mean, Berryz had Maasa and Yurina and Shimizu and Momoko in the same unit, so...

Yes, and they were always considered a little odd because of it, as idol groups go.

I dunno, I like groups with height differences. I think they could turn it into something gimmicky if half the group was tall and the other half short.
