Short ver: I love this group, this single, and I am no longer worried about the group even when Momoko leaves.
Long ver: I was a bit worried for Country Girls when Momochi announced she would be leaving, especially since Manaka left. They played a big part in the group, whether it's in performance or variety appearances, and I wasn't sure how the 5 were going to do without them. However, with the latest single, I'm more confident, and thus relieved, that they'll continue to do well even when Momoko graduates.
Just the other day I saw a video of them appearing in a show and their teamwork in poking fun with one another and getting everyone involved was outstanding. There weren't any members who just sat there or weren't in the spotlight for a decent amount of time.
I was also watching their recording sessions and they have improved quite a bit vocally, which is apparent while listening to these two songs. I actually used to dislike Nanami's voice, but now I find it quite pleasant and clear, and while we already knew about Funaki being talented, it's simply astonishing to see her impressive versatility. Being able to pull off cute and cool both vocally and expressions wise, she's really quite something, and because of that she is now hands-down my favorite member of Country Girls.
About the songs themselves, they are so GOOD and I LOVE them. I really don't have any complaints about this single and it's a wonderful final single for Momoko, who I'm glad got a proper, well-deserved and well executed spotlight intro and final solo line in PBJ Love.
Good Boy Bad Girl is cool yet comical and that in itself is charmingly cute in it's own way, which fits the group's image/theme, and it's really catchy from start to end. I particularly liked how they changed up the second verse a bit rather than just straight up sounding like the first verse and how they ended on a high note (literally).
