It's been announced that Country Musume will be holding new member auditions. A special website has been launched and is currently accepting participants until March 31.
This was announced on February 11 during Hello! Project's live event 'Hello! Project 2014 WINTER ~GOiSU MODE~' at Sendai Sun Plaza Hall. During the live, Satoda Mai appeared on the stage monitor with a recorded commentary. This audition will be held as Satoda will be going to the United States with her husband Tanaka Masahiro who signed a contract with the major league.
New members of Country Musume will not have to follow the group's principle "half agricultural, half entertainment". To be eligible for the audition, girls must be from ages 10 to 17.
Country Musume was an unit created back in 1999 with the theme "half agricultural, half entertainment". Members had to carry out their entertainment activities while working at Tanaka Yoshitake's farm. After members' withdrawals and graduations, currently only Satoda Mai belongs to the group. This will be Country Musume's 7th time holding an audition. The last audition took place 11 years ago in January of 2003.
