Buono! - Our Songs

[Special Needs Tricycle]

PV preview



Not digging this too much. It's a nice PV though. And Miyabi's face doesn't look as long as it usually does.

[Shoujo Q]

Standard PV but done in a nice way. I like the backgrounds where ever they are.



I like their "costumes" for this single, I always liked Buono's outfits the best.



I've seen Airi's shirt before. Going to the Walmart homepage I found it under the Miley Cyrus collection they have. It's sad that I know all her clothes but that's all I bought my niece for Christmas. xD Now that just makes me laugh to think about the design staff going to Walmart to buy outfits for H!P girls. Heh.



What does Momoko's shirt say? xD It looks like it says someone is a Bitch but I can't seem to find a spot where I can read it all at once so I can't tell what the top like says. It's hilarious that someone let her wear that shirt on a young girls anime and didn't even bother to stop and check. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

All I can read is "... sure a bitch". I'm interested though, I always like when H!P t-shirts have words like Bitch on their shirts. haha

THEY JUST HAD A SONG COME OUT. SERIOUSLY.



They really don't waste any time with their singles, christ.

[Haru]

I actually saw Airi's shirt in Wal-Mart the other day, and considered getting it, but I decided not to because of the fact it was Miley Cyrus' brand. lol.



Surprised to see someone from Buono! so quick. They just released a single last month, and now they're gearing up to release on on February 3? I had heard something about "Our Songs," but I was under the impression it was going to be an album.

I really like this song though...Buono! is, I think, one of the best bands Hello! Project has. <3

And they have an album coming out a week after this is released, it's kind of crazy. Do each of these singles still end up as the anime OP or ED? That show must change theme songs every five minutes. I remember back in my day Sailor Moon used to only get a new song each season! And they were done by old farty seiyuu people and not cute idols! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/hmph.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />



The song is alright. It doesn't grab me or get stuck in my head right away, but I'll probably end up liking the full song. At least Miyabi's weave looks natural, and Momoko's hairstyle is really cute.

[Haru]

I don't think all of them do...like "Take it Easy!" I'm pretty sure it wasn't affiliated with Shugo Chara in any way.

Which I find very strange since Buono! was pretty much created FOR Shugo Chara. I think they're trying to keep it a viable group even if the anime ends (unlike Koharu, who pretty much got dumped out of H!P once her solo gig was over; wait sorry, went to MODEL).



I just don't get Buono. It seems like some kind of weird aberration in H!P, how it's so consistent and isn't Melon Kinenbi, and is fairly popular and well-selling. I mean, I like their songs, but they're starting to reach a saturation point for me, personally. They need to have some interesting shifts somewhere, like with their first album.



edit: I shouldn't post with such little sleep. Thank you PQ; Somehow I knew that all Buono *singles* are for Shugo Chara. It doesn't explain their albums though. And since they switched Buono from having the openings to the endings (which change more frequently) the Buono songs subsequently also come out more frequently.



that was too many quents to type.

[Shoujo Q]

All Buono songs are endings to Shugo Chara. Take it Easy was the last ending to Shugo Chara Doki.



Bravo Bravo is the first ending to Shugo Chara Party, Our Songs will be the second ending. They usually switch to a new ending every 13 episodes or so.

[Miimii]

I think this song is so good!! But it was like three weeks ago?, that bravo bravo came out 0.0 I'm glad that they're so fast, cause Buono! is really amazing^^



But Momokos shirt ...lol...

[BeForJess]

The song just doesn't have much of a hook (same problem I had with Bravo and a few of their other singles like Gachinko de Ikou and Kiss Kiss Kiss). I actually liked Take it Easy because it caught me and got in my head. This is just kinda generic.



I was thinking Momoko's shirt said Bitch on it too, which is pretty damn hilarious.

[Shoujo Q]

I think the reason (i'm not going to state it as fact because I'm no expert) that Buono and to an extent Guardian4 are releasing so many singles so close together has to do with the Anime. Japanese anime hasn't been doing very well money wise from what I've <a href="http://"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703819904574551834260925714.html?"" target="_blank">read</a>and anime companies are finding different ways to make income. One way is though the music. Keep rotating out the opening and endings and you get a little marketable boost of income for the series to continue from the people buying the singles.

Well, they didn't quite have to go to Walmart. Miley Cyrus' fashion line has its own store. It's always swamped when I go in the department store it's in too, she's really popular in Japan so putting her fashion on a Japanese idol isn't really that strange of an idea. Some of the shirts in her line are really cute, I just don't know if I'd ever wear them.



This is a pretty mellow song. I'm not really sure what I think of it right now, but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

I didn't like Bravo Bravo, but the other two are my favorite singles from them. Which bodes well for me. And yes, I do like this song, too! Only problem I have with it right now is that it's too short. It doesn't give much time for the song to "develop" with a second verse with different lyrics and an extra layer in the instrumental, chorus repetitions with either a key change or a slight volume/instrumental change, and a funky breakdown two thirds of the way in because it ends abruptly after 1:30. So I am looking forward to the full thing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ohyeah.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



I used to not think that Gachinko and Kiss Kiss Kiss had much of a hook or were catchy when they came out, but they just clicked one day for me and I enjoyed their styles. There's something to me about the vocal melody and the instrumental that go well together. Contrast that to Take It Easy which I loved when it came out, but I'm a little tired of listening to at this point.

I'm surprised that I continue to like Buono as much as I do. My complaint with them when they first came out was that I thought their style always being similar would get tiring after a while, but it's nice to have some consistency and I haven't gotten tired of it yet. They do have variations within rock and have stuff that deviates once in a while, so it's not all the same. It's just more consistent than we're used to in H!P.

[thamychan]

The..... Covers. I've had some that I didn't like that much but this one... In addition, I don't think it agrees with the image the song passes. Well, that was my opinion, although we have to keep in mind that everyone has their arms there!

I was thinking about this yesterday, but isn't Airi wearing the same shirt she did for Winter Festa!, but in white?

Or really close. :[

Those are truly wretched.

[Haru]

...my god, shouldn't we have gotten a full PV by now? :[

[AquaChan]

As if by magic.



Full PV here

[Haru]

My magic's a little slow. :[



Not a big fan of this PV now that I see all of it...it's cute, but I like Bravo Bravo better.

The song's nice though.

And I still can't figure out who's a bitch.

It's "__________ sure (is?) a bitch."



eta; a friend of mine is thinking it says "baby sure is a bitch."

[tsukinobyouin]

There's a preview of the b-side up on the Pony Canyon site here. It won't play for me, but maybe it'll work for you guys. ^^;

[Haru]

The B-side's cute!

I might like it more than the A-side...

But the lyrics. Not sure if I like them...HAPPY LUUUV SONGGGGGGG



Oh and the official answer to Momo's shirt, or so I am sure, is "baby i am sure a bitch!!" (with no space between "I am," but "iam" looks stupid.)

I watched the video a couple times and I caught where her vest came up...
