Goodbye Country Girls.

Ozeki Mai wants to get into a University and keeps on challenging in showbiz.
Funaki Musubu leaves from Hello! Project and study Dancing and try her ability.
Morito Chisaki continues the activities of Morning Musume.

Country Girls will return with new members.

Their last performance will be 12/26/2019 at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA.

Yamaki will leave H!P and showbiz after 12/26. Ozeki will leave H!P, but intends to stay in showbiz. Funaki will remain in H!P until March 2020.

I can't say this is terribly surprising overall... but I'm sad that Yamaki and and Funaki are leaving, though.

[Shoujo Q]

It’s really upsetting. I’m sad about Musubu and Yamaki. Not so much Ozeki but I’m bummed she never really got to shine in any other H!P group. I could care less about Chisaki but I think I’m just throwing all my anger into her about this. Sorry Chisaki.

But I’m also interested in seeing if I finally get an all Hokkaido sub group out of it. You finally have enough Hokkaido girls UF!


Also, If they could release one more album before they go, I’d be most grateful UF!!! Thanks.

NO NO NO NO NO NO

I honestly expected Yamaki and Ozeki to graduate at some point, though it's disappointing that Ozeki never really got to ~shine~.
Funaki, though? She's one of H!P's best performers. I'm really really really bummed out...

[Solarblade]

Wow, was not expecting triple again....I'm really sad that Funakki is graduating though.....T.T

[Celedam]

Funaki too? Damn.

[Solarblade]

I will say....a rebrand of CG is curious and wonder if Chisaki will remain

Makes me wonder too...Kenshuusei Unit could take over

[Shabranikuduu]

Oh wow, I was no expecting this. It's a shame, I was really expecting Ozeki to come back and be added to another group. I'm honestly surprised Funaki is graduating as well, she seemed to be doing great in Angerme.

[erilaz]

Nope, not happy about this at all. Country Girls is one of my favorite groups in current H!P. And Funakki is one of my favorite current H!P members.

[resop2]

Will they have another "player coach"? And, if so, who should it be?

[Chatin]

Such a shock that Musubu will be leaving Angerme. Such an incredible talent, and I never got the sense that she was feeling underutilized in the group. I wonder if the member loaning system also had financial aspects to it that allowed UF to shuffle costs around and would affect Musubu becoming solely an Angerme member.

Let’s hold out hope that Ozeki gets into university and joins College Cosmos.
