Kindai April 2009 - Buono!--
"The long awaited 2nd album 'Buono!2' is done!"Momoko: When I first heard the complete product I got really excited! I loved all of the songs before we even started recording, and after hearing our voices for real it just got even more exciting.
Nowadays whenever I'm going somewhere I'm having this album on loop!
Miyabi: "This is completely different from the usual Buono!" was my first thought. Comparing it to the first album I think it has a lot more mature and cooler songs as opposed to poppy and cute.
Airi: Compared to "Café Buono!" I think it has a lot of softer songs. The song called "Goal" is a bit on the soft side but yet rock, and it's personally one of my favorites.

"Tell us about your individual main songs and its points"Momoko: To put it in one word: "I NEED YOU" is kind of strange! (lol) There are two different kinds of melodies, the verses are calm and from the chorus it's instantly rock.
The song is about the feelings of a girl who gets seperated from her loved one. First impressions might be a little confusing at first, but as you listen to it more it'll grow on you!
Miyabi: Up until now we've been singing rockier songs, but "Vanishing Point" is really grown-up.
Airi: "OVER THE RAINBOW" is a calmer song. I'd like to point out the part before the last chorus where the pace picks up! The atmosphere is a bit different, and it'd be nice if the lyrics are conveyed.

"Which parts of 'Buono!2' do you feel are 'delicious'?"Momoko: The very first song "Early Bird" is a good condidate to becoming Buono!'s regular menu. (lol) It has a lot of lines, especially my own line towards the end "Okiro!" is really cute so please look out for it. (lol) I'd be happy if people also used it as a method to wake up~
Miyabi: The new album has a lot of different types of songs. It's not only the usual rock, but the more adult-like Buono! as well.
Airi: The jacket this time has two different patterns and constumes, both of them have a different feeling to them, so do check that out.

"Now then, tell us about each other's 'delicious' parts?"Momoko: Since we're talking "delicious", I'd like to express this using ingredients for oden!
Airi is hanpen - fluffy, pure white and the refreshing type.
Miya is konnyaku - the type of konnyaku which gets a stronger flavor the more you cut it.
And myself kinchakubukuro - for some reason complexely built up, and surprisingly really down-to-earth. (lol)
Combine the three and you have a "Buono!" dish which pours out flavor the longer you cook it~
Miyabi: All three of us have outgoing personalities.
Airi: Momo has a one and only character that no one else can copy!
Miya seems grown-up whenever she's singing, but in fact she's incredibly cute and girly!
I'm not sure about myself... I'm often told that I eat everything with a delicious face on, so I guess in a way that's a "delicious" part? (lol)

"Let's conclude this with a message!"Momoko: The new album has a lot of our feelings stuffed into it. Listen to it a lot and do some passionate singing at karaoke and such! Buono! will still keep on running, so keep on supporting us!
Miyabi: I'd really like everyone to listen to "Buono!2" a lot! I think you'll be able to discover a new side of us. Just keep on repeating and looping it. (lol) Also, do come visit us at our lives and events!
Airi: Everyone! The new album "Buono!2"! Its contents and jackets are all done in an extraordinary delicious way! Please do check it out!

I've been looping Buono!2 now for a while, but I'm still not sure if I like it better than Café Buono!

Goal is so much stronger than any of the songs on the first album, though. And I didn't realize they had individual songs until the Hybrid Punch concert.
