Today is the last day of 2008. And what a pleasant envelope I got from Japan today. Two sets of Miya official photos plus three sets of Rii UFAs.

Miya looks absolutely stunning in this Buono! set. Polka-dot dress suits her so well. Got also Rii in black. Most kawaii witch I’ve ever seen!

But this is not all I’ve got from far east recently. Yesterday our postman brought me a parcel from YesAsia. Nice way to celebrate New Year: Watching BK’s DVD from their autumn tour and if that’s not enough, enjoying also Buono!s Rottata Rottara Single V DVD.

Singing dancing exciting

I never thought that I could be a fan of 6 years old Japanese girl. What can I say? Just after I came back home from my Christmas holiday I went to YouTube to check out latest Buono! stuff. And unexpectedly I came upon this video where this kid is singing and dancing Buono!s Rottara Rottara. She does her thing so devotedly that you can’t do nothing but adore her and her enthusiasm.

Cuca and Rottara Rottara.

She is Cuca, a kindergartner who turns out to be a great Hello! Project fan. She has her own YouTube page where she has posted 37 (!) of her dance videos. There is lot of Berryz Kobo, Buono! and C-ute songs performed by her but she loves also Morning Musume, Koharu and Ayaya. In some of her videos Cuca dances with her cute little brother and there is even one clip, C-ute’s FOREVER LOVE, where she is dancing with her mother.

And that’s not all. Cuca has also a charming blog where she keeps here online diary. From now on I’m a regular reader of her blog. You know what? She got a very nice Christmas present from Santa-san: C-ute’s Concert Tour 2008 Natsu – Wasuretaku nai Natsu DVD!

If Cuca keeps her devotion for Hello! Project this high when she is growing up we could soon see her attending H!P Eggs auditions. Nice job Cuca!

BERRY X-MAS !

Berryz Art – Christmas (part 2)

We’ve already seen Chii’s and Maasa’s Christmas drawings and here comes now Miya’s and Momo’s. Amazing how thick those trunks of Christmas trees can be. I see lot of hearts in Miya’s picture. And Momo has put her Peach once again there. Christmas Peach that’s for sure.

The Best H!P Concert DVD of 2008

This is what I’ve been waiting for since I listened a fan recording from Buono!s August 22. Fan Club special event concert. In the beginning of that low quality recording you can hear noise that make’s you wonder if Airi, Miya & Momo are trying to play guitar, bass and drums. After that observation I read from some Japanese sites that they really were playing those instruments for a half a minute or so in the beginning of that event.

And now here we have further concrete proof: Buono! FC Special LIVE – Rock’n Buono! DVD. For me this is the best H!P concert DVD of year 2008. I must confess that I’m in Heaven when I watch this concert recording. There are a couple of things those get me super excited and those I’ve only been dreaming of.

First of all now we see Buono! girls first time on stage with real instruments. Although they can’t yet play those instruments, they look so extremely cool when they try so hard to get away with the fist verse of Nakimushi Shounen. Heaven is Miya with bass guitar. In the first VTR section of DVD girls are practising with their instruments and I’ve a feeling that they really want to learn to play them. Yes my another dream: Miya mastering The Bass.

Then! The other half of the concert is pure joy. Because Buono! is not all alone on stage. They have a REAL all girl rock band playing the songs. How much I’ve wished that some day there should be a live band playing with Buono! because their music is more rock than soft pop. And now it all came true. And it really sounds so %Z+$ing cool & correct. This is how Buono! should be treated. They rock and they roll. They look awesome and they sound fantastic. If I continue this I soon run out of complimentary adjectives.

Buono!s first public concerts are confirmed to be in February 2009. Can you guess what I’m thinking about?

This Buono! FC Special LIVE – Rock’n Buono! DVD comes in four different versions. There is a Buono! edition and all girls have also their own solo editions. I’m trying now to get me Miya’s solo DVD. I must have it! I really must have it!


It was like a rock concert. Transparent curtain infront of Buono! and then it came down.


Momo hitting symbals hard.


Miya makes a rock posing. <3


We must see more this kind of stage action.


I love girls with guitars!


Miya getting her bass ready for some serious slamming.


Enough volume?


Concentrated moment. Girls + axes = kakkoii.


Play it again, Miya!


[sigh!]


Let’s see . . .


. . . Am9? Is this Am9?


This is not first time Momo is playing drums.


Red shoes and bass drum pedals go well together.


Bang bang, joy joy.


Trio searching the lost chord.


No words needed here.


Buono! sounds even better with live rock band.

These captures are not in best quality because they are not taken from the original Fan Club DVD.
