[9/28] Country Girls 4th Single "Doo Datte Ii no / Namida no Request"

[Shoujo Q]

Change of plans post Manaka. Or just something to fill the concert void they'll show up on their first album.

[Solarblade]

I wonder what happened to the 3 (2?) lovely songs they performed on Hello! station months ago?

Actually there's 4 lol

[forgetmenots]

If there were so many, probably album songs? I really want them to release a 2-CD album of Country Musume and Country Girl songs.

Also, I hate to be Japanese picky, but even though it IS written with the elongation symbol, I'm like 95% sure it would still be romanized as 'Dou Datte Ii No?' as that's how that phrase is usually written (I guess the question mark can be omitted since it's not in the Japanese, but considering that phrase IS a question, it just felt weird as an English speaker to not write it lol). The elongation symbol can represent either an 'o' or an 'u' when following a symbol with the 'o' sound. I assume it's just written like that in the hiragana to give it some character.

[Sohee]

^I really don't think it's a question. The "no" can definitely make it one, but it works just as well as a statement. Considering it's supposedly a song that's very out there and "cool" it's most likely just a statement like "IT DOESN'T MATTER" rather than "Doesn't it matter?". We won't know til we have the lyrics, but considering there's no ? in the title and the description they gave of the song, that's how I assume it'll turn out.

[forgetmenots]

^Ah you're right, I forgot about that and my brain just read it differently at first I want to say it's because we don't use 'no' often at the end of a sentence in Kansai, but maybe I just hang out with people who don't say it much.

[Sohee]

Yeah I'd assume you hear more ねん :b

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Also, I hate to be Japanese picky, but even though it IS written with the elongation symbol, I'm like 95% sure it would still be romanized as 'Dou Datte Ii No?' as that's how that phrase is usually written . . . .

So besides the question thing you and Sohee have talked out, the other change mentioned here is that it should be "Dou" rather than "Doo" - correct?

[forgetmenots]

Yeah. That's mostly what I was getting at lol, not really the '?' point. Double おお is so rare that it looks weird in romanji so it stuck out lol. Oosaka is the main example of that. どう is normally how どー is written.

But bringing it back to the actual music, listened to Namida no Request and I'm ecstatic. Koi wa Magnet was my favourite song from the last signal and it reminds me of that. I am really okay for Country Girls going for the retro feel like this.

like they said on Hello! Station, Dou Datte ii no is another rockabilly song (like Boogie Woogie Love, but even cooler since its written by Nakajima Takui). Ozeki says the outfits will have the members' colors for the first time.

Country Girls performed their new song Dou Datte ii no today at the H!P Summer concert in Nakano Sun Plaza this morning. It replaced Mousou Rehearsal. Its a fast song with a fast dance.

I think we all agree that it should be read as "Dou"
