If you haven't picked up on my slight Japanese Pop (JPOP) obsession, this post will surely confirm any speculation. I love JPOP; I specifically enjoy music produced by Hello! Project (H!P). So, as an ode H!P, this post is a review of my favorite Buono! Concert.
Buono! is a girl group formed with members from other two other H!P girl groups in 2007. The members are (in order from oldest to youngest) Tsugunaga Momoko, 21, Natsuyaki Miyabi, 20, and Suzuki Airi, 18. The group has an Ameba Blog and an official Youtube Channel that you can check out if you'd like to know more. They are both in Japanese, of course.
「We are Buono! Buono! LIVE TOUR 2010 」took place in February 2010 to promote the group's third studio album 「We are Buono!」(also released in February 2010). The tour DVD was released in May 2010 and featured bonus footage. The set list for the Concert and DVD were a mixture of songs from their third album and previous songs from singles and subsequent albums, which can all be found here in their discography. You can also find lyrics in English and Japanese on an amazing site I've been using for years, Project Hello!
What I enjoyed most about this concert is that the member's voices had matured so much by the time the album was released, that they sang with more power and clarity than they did in the studio recordings! It was a real treat to hear Momo hit her notes on key and not use her "cutesy" voice once. Anyone that has watched a Berryz工房 or Buono! Concert knows that poor Momo doesn't always hit her lines as great as she does in the studio recordings and that can be a real letdown because she is so charming and talented. In this concert, however, Momo does not disappoint. None of the girls do.
Here are a few video's from Buono!'s Official Youtube Channel of singles they preformed on in the concert.
『MY BOY』 (MV)
『Take It Easy!』 (MV)
『Bravo☆Bravo』 (MV)
『Our Songs』 (MV)
Overall, this concert was amazing and I wish I had seen it in person! I can only imagine the energy radiating from the girls and the crowd.
If you can get your hands on a copy of this DVD, you will not be disappointed if you want to be entertained by catchy tunes, energetic performers, and talented vocalists.
Until next time friends, peace, love, and green tea <3
