Special Buono! interview by Oricon

translation by chobineko

Q. "Hatsukoi Cider" is a rather happy song, what was your reaction when you heard it?
Airi Suzuki : It remind me of Buono!'s old days, so I immediately liked it.
Momoko Tsugunaga : I thought "Buono! is back to pop rock"! and after "How we'll do a CM with cider?" (lol).
Miyabi Natsuyaki : That was refreshing, there's a taste of rock in the chant. It was fun to sing and feeling this freedom (probably talking about the MV filming).
Airi : But wasn't it hard because the key was really high?
Momo : The harmony was really difficult too! I had the main - probably her solo part in the middle of the song - and that was really difficult to sing alone as if it were 2 people singing. ???? (lol).

Q. Indeed (lol). So the lyrics are talking about a girl who wants to love passionately?
Momo : Yes it is. The sentence "KISU wo ageruyo Ima sara suki nante Kotoba yori kikime aru deshou " (I'll give you a kiss to tell you how much I love you after all this time instead of words, that'll send this message clearly, right?) is particulary great.
Airi : They are really cool eh.
Miya : But does today's mens are attracted by this type of passionnate message? (??)
Momo : Every girl in the world, on Valentine's day, please say this sentence all the way! (lol)

Q. About the other song "DEEP MIND". The speed is really different in that song and the high-tension feeling is considerable.
Airi : This one is also so rock!
Miya : I thought "That's clearly the opposite of Hatsukoi Cider!!"
Airi : This song is also for our film "Gomen Nasai" so we spent a lot of time singing this one during filming etc. There was a film + song mixed feeling in my head.

Q. Speaking about that, since the song is talking about DEEP MIND, what's the hidden face of each members?
Airi : ???? Momochi's musubi? lol. Miya does have a really nice skin! But you can only see it if you're next to her.
Momo : Miya is tsundere (a bad girl) but she can suddenly be a really joyfull girl. (lol) Airin, when she say a pun, she's always having a proud face no matter people's reactions.
Miya : Momochi's acting cute, but she does have really strong muscles! Even if she's small, she's powerful. Airin's putting people at ease when she's talking, she can dance in a very sexy way in live, that's really cool eh?

Q. To finish, please tell us about Buono!'s projects and wishes for 2012.
Airi : The new tour is coming for the beginning of this year, which is a really good start. Then in February Buono! will go overseas for the first time, in Europe in France, we'll be able to eat delicious croissants ♪
Miya : In this new tour we want to be able to give you more rock. The title “R・E・A・L” describe the fact that we want you to see 3 real personalities in front of you.
Momo : We have a single releasing in January, a new tour coming, a live in France, 2012 seems to be a good year for Buono! and all the fans. After that, there's personal goals to reach, to be cuter than Mana Ashida-chan (lol)
