[PV] Take it Easy with Buono!

[Shoujo Q]

View the PV on YouTube





Things to note~



Momoko's under a lot of Pressure and looking for a free life, anyone want to help her out?



How the hell do girls walk in shoes like that because my feet would be dying by the end of the day.



Airi's "glasses" are cute.



Oh and to save on budget, one outfit and a pretty laid back PV. It doesn't take a lot to make a nice PV. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />





I was hoping Airi'd fall over at the end of the PV and land in the water but my hopes were dashed. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

[Tallgeese]

Noticed it in a few PVs now but this is really blatant, but is it just me, or does Momo like to stick out her ass when dancing. I mean, I'm not complaining in the least, cuz I'm a guy, and she definitely has something to flaunt, but it was just obvious in this vid.



Lecherous comments aside, I like this song and PV. BTW, the town in this PV reminds me of the one in the movie "Taiyou no Uta," starring YUI (the singer).

[BeForJess]

Cute PV, though I don't think any of their outfits were very flattering. I stopped dressing like that when I was 4.



It's cute, though, with a nice summer feel to it.



Totally love Momoko's vocals in this. <3 Of course, Airi and Miyabi sound great too, but Momoko's voice stands out for me because it's so different from the other two. Love her.

[EmEl]

The outfits are terrible compared to normal Buono! standards, but I suppose it fits with the PV so I'm slightly okay with it.



Momoko's vocals threaten to ruin the entire song. I can normally put up with it, but it is ear-shattering this time. It permeates the song and blends horribly during the chorus.

Aww, I think Momoko has cute ears they shouldn't be causing anyone to bleed. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

Heh, maybe I was the only one who loved Momo's vocals in this.

Ears ?

(in case your post wasn't sarcasm:) EARS !? They are pretty much generic and normal... not that I've ever looked at the ears of anybody in H!P and thought "hey, these are not normal, these are a special pair of ears !" lol



I'm also not a fan of Momoko's voice, but the video itself is nice and the song ok. Maybe I will watch the video 2 or 3 more times, because I like the feeling and the scenery, but I doubt I'll listen to song more often.

RISAKO. One of her ears is trying to run away from her head.



On topic; cute song, might download. Not much of an impression.

Everyone's ears are UNIQUE like LITTLE BUTTERFLIES!!!!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... omgwtf.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />







Anyway, I was being sarcastic, he said "her ears will make you bleed" meaning her ears have the power to make you bleed! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> Momoko has super sonic ears with laser beams!!!

Hey now, ears are serious business!

[eri]

AHH I LOVE BUONO. But, this song sounds like a pretty generic summer song - disappointed. I don't like this easy-listening-slightly-folk kind of music via pop stars. edit: unless you're named Puffy and even their folky stuff didn't sound so boring.



As for the outfits, they are just getting on the 80s revival truck I guess. I hate this trend so much. Miyabi looks best with lighter brown hair.

[JPope]

Personally, I dig the neo-80s garb, and I'd like to see some off-set ponytails to go with it. I don't care much for this song, though. Probably their worst single to date.

Especially if they have the power to make you bleed. (and that was NOT at all what I meant with my quote <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> )

So much for teasing you about saying that phrase backwards.

and now we are reduced to a discussion about ears within Berryz.



Momoko just needs lower notes and she'll sound fine. Airi sounds especially sweet in this at 40 seconds.



Could they have packed more food onto those skewers? You take it easy!

Miyabi... 2 pieces of corn and 2 sausages, really??

[AEUGNewtype]

I love this song to death. The touches of folk, country, and bluegrass in this song just send me reeling every time I listen to it. On the other hand, Momoko's vocals also send me reeling in a very opposite and bad way. They need to tone her down and/or really work on processing her vocals like they usually do before they release a very acoustic song like this. The video is neither here nor there, its cute, except Momo, but nothing amazing.

[jochin]

I can't hear what's so grating about Momoko's voice? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> She's the only member of this group who doesn't sing 90% through her nose anyway.

[vanillacat]

Momo sounds the same as usual, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.



WHAT THE FUCK BLUEGRASS!? I'd... rather they, um, not. The song's nice I guess, but not something I'd listen to. I prefer my Buonos with a little more energy? But I guess they're just taking it easy, so...



Is Airi wearing Kanye shades? Oh no. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/nono.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':nono:' />

Otherwise, I personally like their clothes - cute with that neon 80's throwback thing going on. Except... their shoes look painful. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... wheely.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />



Miyabi looks like Kaela Kimura right now - watch a perf of Kimura's "Banzai!" and you'll see what I mean. Oversized 80's tee, lighting bolt earrings, long bob, long face...

LMAO! I find Miyabi more nasal than Airi (that's how I can really tell them apart on the songs), but you're right.

[BeForJess]

^ Yay, Momo love. I'm partial to high voices, and I think she sounds just lovely, and certainly stands out between Airi and Miyabi as having a different voice. I like the other two a lot, but they aren't as unique.



After hearing it a few more times it has really grown on me - I definitely like it better than some of their other singles, like co.no.mi.chi. or Gachinko de Ikou.... Not on the level of Ren'ai Rider or MY BOY, but still quite enjoyable.



BTW, I think that Tallgeese is right about the ass shaking though... Check out Momo at 2:31. It's kinda funny. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />

Are you just outwardly hating bluegrass music because it is innately American? I figure there is some amount of backlash about these things for the wrong reasons.

[neshcom]

Don't really care for the song. Country isn't really my taste... I do like the PV. It's cute and it sort of fits the song. I always thought of Buono as a 'rock' group, but diversification isn't bad.

[sadude]

If only H!P had a group that focused on Country-ish music where this song would fit right in. Then again, what would they call this Country group? BluegrassMoni? Folkpopo?

Best fucking group idea ever. Seriously, Tsunku needs to get on that shit. Every time an H!P artist has a country style song, it ends up being one of my favorite songs by that artist of their entire career, he just has the knack for writing awesome, classic-sounding country style songs <3

I dislike like country and I really REALLY HATE bluegrass. My dad listens to it ALL the TIME when I was younger. However, I love this song! I don't know why I didn't catch that when I first heard it on the previews, but the PV really helps out in my opinion. What I really like about it is that even though I don't really like the banjo, you can hear it ever so discreetly to where it doesn't ruin it for me.



BTW, BEST INTERLUDE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF H!P.

No. I like American music, even folk music. I just don't like bluegrass, as not only is it something I can't relate with as far as it being American-ish (I grew up in suburban D.C. - needless to say, not a whole lot of bluegrass going on), it's just not something that appeals to me. Plus, with its furious-sounding finger-picking, it's not really something I would associate with "taking it easy"...?



I dunno. It is, um, interesting, though...

[Tallgeese]

I love the C/W - "Kirai Suki Daikirai!" It's more of the "classic" Buono rock sound many of us are fond of. I can't wait to see this love. BTW, the beginning guitar riff is mostly the one from "Aisha Loan de," which is of course from The Knack's "My Sharona."

Wow, going back to the My Sharona well, huh? Not a big fan of this.

[BeForJess]

I like the B-side, but I think it would have been better if the refrain were cleaner and less noisy. I love the last lines in the refrain though, the distortion is cool. Dou ni mo kou ni mo yatteranai! It actually reminds me of some old Zone stuff... Bible, Salary Man, that kind of thing.

[Shoujo Q]

Wow... I really don't like the c/w. It feels like someone did a bad cover of My Sharona and stuck Buono singing on top of that. The instrumental really feels messy in some parts also and there just isn't any energy behind their singing. It's like they took the whole "take it easy" mentality thing a little TOO far.
