Country Girls will release a new single in February. It's a double a-side called Good Boy Bad Girl/Peanut Butter Jelly Love. The single was officially announced yesterday during their Chirstmas Fanclub event. Really looking forward to this. But I'm wondering if this will be Momoko's final single since it seems a little early considering that she'll graduate in June. So I hope this means one more single before she leaves, early June would be nice. And this would be their first single with the same line-up twice in a row. If you think about it they had way too many member changes since their first single in 2015. Still miss Uta and Manaka
Momochi's sudden announcement of graduation and retirement was mentioned in this idol year-ender list from NTV News 24. http://www.news24.jp/articles/2016/12/27/08350082.html
Their profile pictures on the official homepage have been updated. The costumes for the new single are pretty cute! Check out the individual shots here: http://www.helloproject.com/countrygirls/
For me atm.. Peanut Butter > GBGG but both are really good.. fitting their image.. btw, this will be Momochi's last single.. I think we will have the live footage from H!P concert in next Harosute..
So since this is Momo's last single it means she won't get a solo graduation song unless they put it on an album
It's a waste not to have Momochi's solo.. I'm sure she will have her solo song.. I hope.. if not, I'm going to burn UFA head quarters.. haha
Covers have been revealed. Personally I think they're pretty good for H!P standards. This time there's only I one don't like that much.

God even Country Girls got sucked into this mess. First, the transfers between 3 Arc Jewel Groups, then the EG Family formation, now this.
Regarding Arc Jewel; On December 17, 2016, there was a shuffle between Lovely Doll, Ange Reve and Arc Jewel Novice. They had to do this due to the graduations of Otosaki Serina, Kousaka Moemi (both Ange Reve) and Shirakawa Ayane (Arc Jewel Novice). Moreover, there were three more graduations: Hara Himeko and Shichimiya Satori (Lovely Doll Kenkyuusei) and Oshima Rio (Ange Reve). The full details of the Arc Jewel Shuffle can be seen on Hello Online Forum's Arc Jewel thread.
i'm kinda unhappy with the decision.. seems like Yamaki & Ozeki want to focus on their study.. the other 3 will be transfer to other groups.. while continuing CG activity.. so CG is like a part time now.. huh.. I can see a lot of fans going to be pissed.. But I cant help but to wonder which group will they be transfer to.. is it like AKB48 'kennin' system? is it permanent or temporary? I'm feeling a bit restless.. I admired Yamaki & Ozeki wanting to focus on their study, but the rest of the girls? I like all 3 of them.. their character shine a lot in CG.. I wonder how they'll do in other group.. Morito even say she does not want to rude to the fans of the group (the group they are transferring to).. and with all this negativity, can they be at their best? anyhow, I'm going to support this, for the girls' sake.. as a fan, no matter what happen, I hope the girls can feel the support from fans & keep on going strong... I cant help but feeling sad for Momochi.. she groomed all this girls only for this to happen.. no wonder she is pissed..
I already read this thread; this sad because I have interest in these groups, and for country girls I had seen a some type of curse, but I hope better news for them. Greetings
