Buono! (ﾆ畜ﾂーﾆ知 Bōno) is a Hello! Project group consisting of three members who started in 2007. The name translates into 'tasty', more specifically when used to imply food possesses a pleasant palate (from Italian, "Good!"). All three members of Buono! originate from the Chiba Prefecture.

Members;
Momoko Tsugunaga (March 6, 1992)
Miyabi Natsuyaki (August 25, 1992)

Getting to know Buono 2

Natsuyaki Miyabi and Tsugunaga Momoko are originally from Berryz Koubou and Suzuki Airi from ﾂ≫?ｹC-ute.

The group was first formed in 2007 as a unit to perform songs for the anime "Shugo Chara". But in Early 2010, The anime Shugo Chara ended and Buono! had no new releases. It was then announced that Buono! would resume activities after almost a year on hiatus in December 2010 under the Zetima label. Their 11th single, Zassou no Uta, was released February 2, 2011.

So far they have released 11 singles, with a new one titled "Natsu DAKARA!" coming out in July ^_^v .

TRANSLATION OF HOSHI NO HITSUJITACHI;
The sheep in the stars are eating grass
There are fun things happening every day
in the land of dreams...
I'm having a hard time now
I can't become an adult woman
even though I've been hiding someone
It's like I'm fighting within myself
If you're my friend, answer me
The sheep in the stars are chewing grass
Even if I wait by myself,
I won't become happy

Can you see me running with the white sheep?
Anything can happen
in a far off country
My heart hurts so much
I'm going to lose to your charm
and I'm chasing after you every day
The inside of my head is overflowing with tears
If you're my friend, come here
Look at the white sheep and me sleeping
Your eyes gaze, but
they don't make wishes come true

My heart hurts so much
I'm going to lose to your charm
and I'm chasing after you every day
The inside of my head is overflowing with tears
If you're my friend, come here
The sheep in the stars are chewing grass
If I could live with you,
I'd be a good girl
