Buono!

Buono! (ボーノ, Bōno) is a Hello! Project unit consisting of three members: Momoko Tsugunaga and Miyabi Natsuyaki from Berryz Koubou, and Airi Suzuki from C-ute. The name translates into 'tasty', more specifically when used to imply food possesses a pleasant palate (from Italian, "Good!").

The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on July 21, 2007, at Tokyo's Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, and formed to sing both the opening ("Kokoro no Tamago") and ending ("Honto no Jibun") themes for the anime adaptation of the Shugo Chara! manga. Buono! continued to record the ending and opening themes for the first season of the anime. As of the second season, Buono! only recorded the ending themes, as the opening themes were handled by Shugo Chara Egg! and Guardians 4, two other groups formed for the sake of performing Shugo Chara! music. On March 10 a collaboration album with Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg was released titled as "Shugo Chara!Song Best", and on the same day a dvd titled as "Shugo Chara! Clips♪Best" was released with the same artists Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg.

On March 7, 2009, Hello! Project announced that Buono! was to perform at the Japan Expo in Stockholm, Sweden on May 24, 2009,[1] but the convention was cancelled a month earlier on April 21, 2009, due to "the financial change in world economy, severe competition from other festivals/concerts as well as poor ticket sale."[2]
