History
Buono! is a group consisting of Hello! Project Kids members: Natsuyaki Miyabi and Tsugunaga Momoko from Berryz Koubou and Suzuki Airi from °C-ute.
The name of the group comes from the italian word for Good.
The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on August 21, 2007, at Tokyo's Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, and performed to sing both the opening ("Kokoro no Tamago") and ending ("Honto no Jibun") themes for the anime adaptation of the "Shugo Chara! manga".
They have mostly done music for the anime Shugo Chara!, including the two opening themes from the first season and all of the ending themes. 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.
Buono is the "advertisement unit" of Pizza company "Pizza-La", they have a TV CM spot, and Buono posters advertising the lastest offers can be found in the 550 shops in Japan. They're also the advertisement unit for Pinkdot stores (Waffles), which is located in the mall inside Tokyo Tower.
In March 2009 it was announced that they would be performing at Stockholm Japan Expo 2009 in Sweden on May 24th along with other Japanese artists such as Miyavi. Due to economical issues, it was announced that Stockholm Japan Expo 2009 was canceled and Buono! will not be preforming in Sweden.
