Buono! Roxx

by zush

Here’s something from one of the most greatest groups in the world. We have now small previews of Buono!’s upcoming “Buono! LIVE 2012 REAL” DVD & Blu-ray covers @ H!P official site. These covers are variants from Buono!’s REAL tour program booklet.

“Buono! in Paris – C’est bon!” release date is on May 25. and this book comes with a bonus DVD. A real must item for all Buono! fans and most of all for all us who were there witnessing Momo’s, Miya’s and Airi’s first overseas concert and other events in February. Book can be purchased for example from CD Japan and Amazon Japan.

As for Paris, my Buono! cover story with an interview was published in Finland’s leading J-pop culture magazine JapanPop some weeks ago.
