Idol group Country Girls, supervised by Satoda Mai, will be making their major debut with double A-side single "Itooshikutte Gomenne / Koi Dorobou" on March 25. This news was announced at Hello! Project's concert held at Nitori Culture Hall in Hokkaido on the 24th.

Earlier this month, the group announced that they would make their indie debut without Tsugunaga Momoko who is part of the group as the playing manager, in the end of January, however, Satoda made a surprise announcement at the concert by sending a message to the girls, "We just made an announcement that the group would release a indie single in the end of this month, but instead, it's been decided Country Girls will make their major debut on March 25 with 6 members including Tsugunaga Momoko!!"

As the announcement was made in Hokkaido where Country Musume., their predecessor group, was created, the members showed biggest smiles, and the audience also gave a glad shout for them.

Country Girls will be holding pre-order event and release event, and also handshake event at Hello! Project's concerts. More details will be updated on Hello! Project's official site sequentially.

As for Tsugunaga, she will be joining the group's activities after Berryz Kobo goes on indefinite hiatus on March 3.
