Right, I must admit that I’m excited. This is the most coolest thing from Kumai-chan so far. She is puffing the band called Base Ball Bear in 30 second TV spot and what a way she is doing it. Looking extremely cool in her school uniform, biting a lemon and getting her face and shirt covered with strange looking red juice splatters from that fruit. This is more like Shiina Ringo than Berryz Kobo style! And this is so beautiful. Gloomy Kuma!
What makes this unexpected appearance of Yurina even more cool is that Base Ball Bear is really excellent rock band. This CM is promoting BBB’s new (What Is The) Love & Pop? album. On band’s EMI Music page Yurina is one of those people who are commenting the songs they like from that album. Her favorites are “Stairway Generation” and 海になりたいpart.2. She also says that she wants to see BBB in concert not once but many times. Kakkoii! There is also Tsunku’s comment on this CM & BBB.
And now… (What Is The) Love & Pop? CM:

Let’s identify »« Buono! will rock you
First time I listened fan recording of Rock’n Buono!2 fan club concert in the late hours of last night. Or should I say early hours of this day because it was 3.45 AM when I finally jumped in my bed. At this very moment I’m listening this concert for the third time. The sound quality of this recording is surprising good and it has the whole (over 90 minutes) concert. You can dl the file from sendspace. Recording is provided by nachdenki @ jphip forum.
Again I think I might be running out of superlatives so I’m just saying that you can’t possibly imagine what you’re missing if you don’t listen to this concert recording. It simply roxx.
Cool fan art!
Overture for this concert is nothing else than Queen’s We Will Rock You and when that fades starts Buono! with their brand new song Theme of Buono! If that’s not a gloriously rocking song then I don’t know what might be. That all-girl Dolce band is playing again with Buono! so you can expect nicely rocking versions of many Buono! hits. Group’s latest single Take It Easy is there. We can enjoy also songs like MY BOY, Rottara Rottara and Lady Panther. As solo numbers Miya is singing Aa!s Masayume, Momo does Berryz Kobo’s Jiriri Kiteru and Airi shows how C-ute’s Natsu DOKI Lipstick rocks. Is she dancing there like Maimi, that question remains. Hope this concert is released on DVD some time in the future.
As this concert was Buono!s 2nd anniversary fest there was Happy Birthday singing by girls and their fans in concert’s encore part. And as Miya’s 17th Birthday was quite near also she got lines in that song. Fan crowd waved red glow sticks for Miya and she was “hontoni happy” and shouted “daisuki” to the cheering fans.

I must say that even I congratulated Miya with my modest e-mail but I can only keep my fingers crossed and hope that girls read also those e-mails which has been sent from the fans outside Japan.

Kumai-chan’s bite »« Rock’n Candy
Want to lick some Buono! candy? I found these interesting snap shots from one Japanese fan blog. This guy went to Rock’n Buono! 2 Fan Club concert at Zepp Tokyo on August 21. There he purchased these “Fan Club only” Buono! candies. Each member has designed her own candy. If I’m lucky to get these items I’m sure I’m not gonna eat them.
Momo’s candy has her face, Airi’s has that yellow Buono! dude but I’m not quite sure what’s in that Miya’s candy. Birthday cake maybe? Because besides her birthday it’s also Buono!s 2nd anniversary this August.
Check out all Rock’n Buono! 2 FC merchandise @ Hello! Project Official site. I think I must have that purple Miya birthday T-shirt. Also those plectrum necklaces look cool.
Buono! will rock you »« Happened one day
It was that particular Friday morning when Miya, Momo and Airi found out that one of their favorite web blog had disappeared.
Momo: What is this!? Nothing’s here!
Miya: That’s strange. Yesterday it was still there as always.
Momo: Hope Zush is doing well.
Miya: I wonder…
Airi: Hey, do you remember he once said that if ppl do not post comments he’s gonna close the blog?
Momo: Noooo! He can’t do that!
Airi: But he said so.
Miya: Yeah, I remember it. Maybe he has been too frustrated to continue blogging.
Airi: Should we do something?
Momo: I sure would start posting comments to Zush’s blog if he still wants to do blogging.
Miya: Yeah, me too. BKI was one of our best supporters.
Momo: Sooo, who has Zush’s e-mail address?
Miya: I’ve it somewhere. I think it’s now our turn to be supportive.
Airi: OK. Just send him our compliments.
Miya: Hope he is still our fan.
Momo: Should I send him a kiss?
Airi: LOL!
[Miya wiriting a message to Zush]
Momo: Should we go and have a concert in Helsinki?
Miya: Well, I’m writing here that he’s getting 3 kisses from each of us if we still can have BKI.
Airi: And hope ppl are showing themselves more often at his blog.
Miya: Done! Now we can’t do nothing but wait…

Rock’n Candy »« Happy 17th Miya!
As long as I’ve been a Berryz Kobo fan I’ve counted Miya as the most gifted member in this group. Her singing voice is well balanced and has tone that I like. Her stage presence has kind of charisma that makes her stand out from the rest of the group. That’s why my eyes are always nailed at Miya when I watch BK’s concert DVDs. Well, to be honest, there is also Rii who gets my attention but most of it goes to Miya.
These photos are taken from Hello! Project and Berryz Kobo concerts given in last winter, spring and this summer.
