..::Is This the End of Buono!::..

Shugo Chara’s last ending song by Buono!, Gachinko de Ikou is probably reaching into our ears by now. Me myself already has its .mp3 format in my mp4. So, I had already listened to it a couple of times. The pv was just uploaded in Dohhh! UP and probably in Hello!-Online too. Nevertheless, I had linked the pv from Youtube. I decided to download it via Hello!-Online instead coz the quality of the pv from torrent is better, although its a bit (no, A LOT) slower compare to Youtube.

As usual, Buono!’s fourth single also has a rock flavour throughout the song. I was quite surprised with the sudden entrance of the electrical guitar. Imagine it, I was listening it using my earphone, and the volume was 15 (to me, 15 is the loudest my ear could bear), and suddenly a fast and screeching guitar noise came in. I was quite pissed off by that. Still, I’m not saying that I hate this single. Its actually quite okay. I love all Buono!’s singles coz all of them has this rock flavour, which is somewhat missing in Berryz Kobo and C-ute. Compare to the previous singles, Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! is better, and still is my favourite Buono! single. This time, they have more guitar play than before (I think it does, or is it all the same?). However, there is one ‘weakness’ I found in this single. It is something that I take as the trend of Buono!’s singles. Listen to the previous three singles, there is once in each single (usually and the end of the song) where Buono! will sing accompanied by a slow flow of music, before the music becomes loud again. I noticed that Gachinko de Ikou lacked that ’special sauce’, which I really like.

Now, lets take a look at the pv individually. First is Airi. This time, I honestly love Airi! I could just give her a 10/10! Like I always say, I love an Airi that doesn’t smile much, and this pv has a lot of that kind of Airi. She also doesn’t get a lot of solo lines. I’m not saying that I’m happy about that, but this give chances to the other two. She seems a lot more serious in this pv than before.

Next is Momo. Oh, this time she’s the focus of the single, obviously. She’s at the center of the dancing part (mostly), she’s the one getting most of the solo lines and she’s the one smiles a lot. And I love smiling Momo! I enjoy watching Momo when playing those cards, especially when wanted to High-5 Airi, where Airi lazily raised her hand to clap Momo’s. Then, I found it quite surprised to see a MOSQUITO bit Momo’s leg. Wow, now I notice how long since I last been bitten by a mosquito…

Finally is our goin-to-be-birthday-girl, Miya! This Miya is perfect, seriously. Love her hair the most. And she has lots of serious and cool expressions too. Just watch the pv, and you’ll find it difficult to see a smiling Miya, except when the dancing parts. She does looks older than she suppose to. I mean, more adultlike, not the granny-type thingy…

Both sets of clothing (dancing and playing games scenes) are great. Airi’s dancing attire is the best. The only thing I dislike about this pv is the dances. Its kinda boring and somehow…embarassing. The presence of the band is also annoying. Thank goodness its not too long. OVerall, this single is not as good as Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!, but is the best pv from Buono! As long as I could stand the dances, others are fine…
