Buono! (ボーノ, Bōno) is a Japanese Hello! Project unit consisting of three members: Momoko Tsugunaga and Miyabi Natsuyaki from Berryz Koubou, and Airi Suzuki from Cute. The name translates into "good!" (from Italian), but in Japan has come to connote an association with food, as in "delicious." All three members of Buono! originate from Chiba Prefecture.
The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on July 21, 2007, at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and formed to sing both the opening ("Kokoro no Tamago") and ending ("Honto no Jibun") themes for the anime adaptation of the Shugo Chara! manga. Buono! continued to record the ending and opening themes for the first season of the anime. 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. On March 10, 2008, a collaboration album with Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg was released titled as Shugo Chara!Song Best, and on the same day a DVD titled as "Shugo Chara! Clips Best" was released with the same artists Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg.
