MY GIRLS - Buono! MY BOY mega recap/tangent with blatant Momo bias

The Video
Download album scans (I put links to Gifs I made throughout, so it doesn't crash your computer)
For the jacket Making, they did them seperately, and then photoshopped them together. Momo and Airi look fine; I know they're going for a space-age futuristic kind of musical feel, so maybe they intentionally made Miya look like an alien? In any case, I think they could've made the album graphics a lot cooler, but it's not that bad. Nothing great, but not bad. It doesn't seem to have that Buono! charm without the 3 of them together. But my theory is, whenever you put the 3 of them together for photos they end up hugging and getting too touchy-feely, so maybe it would be too hard to believe the theme of the song is about a boy when they look so happy with eachother? haha That's not true though, they've been seperate before. (Rottara2 etc.) I really dislike the main outfits though- the 80s jazzercise chic. The theme of the song is very cool and mature, and the music is fast-paced Rock with futuristic/techno instrumentals. In that sense I understand they were going for a futuristic/bright look to fit the up-beat song, but I definitely want to shoot whoever's in charge of wardrobe. They really missed the mark. They looked SOoooo (x infinity) cute in the Spy uniforms. They're cool, but have cute accents like hearts and the G clef on the back. I wish they had something cooler as the main outfit- Something like the silver costumes from Berryz' latest concert. I don't actually care at all- I love them so it doesn't matter what they're wearing but, Momo and Miya's are tolerable but Airi's is just wrong in every way. It really bothers me because Airi's so cute but that outfit just doesn't look good. Oh well, we get skirts and knee socks so everyone wins haha Of course there's a word for it in Japanese: 絶対領域 (zettairyouiki): exposed skin between top of knee-high socks and hemline of skirt (lit: absolute territory)
The only noteworthy parts from the Jacket Making are the following:
Momo gif≧▽≦
Making:

Yes today is Buono's sev-seven- SEVENTH Single,

MY BOY PV filming~
YyyayY !
We're dressed like spies.
SPY! (Airi's English is so cute- Did anyone who listened to Cutie Paradise remember when her and Erika read the letter that said their dog(?) makes a noise that sounds like "Festival" and "Michael"? That was hilarious-)
How will the PV turn out?
Well..It'll be that kind of PV, right Airi?
Right the first thing is, cool.

Yes and second, there's a storyline

And then this, spy scenes,
(lol)I'm summarizing!
So the point to pay attention to-

(lol) I think the spy scene is the point to pay attention to.
Right and we're going to do the dance scene too right? Let's make it exciting~Momo Dance

By the way, the temperature is 0 thankyou very much.
Yeah, we were shivering~
Getting goosebumps
We'll try our best with all our power! Ok, close this scene.
So then, We'll do our best at the filming!
~MASU
HAI! Creepy wave

I spy...a mumbly little kappa - Airi AKA Spairi.

Airi acts in a way that can only be described as..Airi-like.
And my god does this girl mumble haha It's so cute though~ For translating purposes however, not so much. It's amazing how she flips the switch when she's on camera and as soon as it turns off she's back to being cra-cra. I would describe her personality as the pothead next-door. haha

You put these sunglasses on and you can see the lasers-
Okay that's a wrap Spairi.
---
I spy...a kickass little stunner - Miya.

Miya never ceases to amaze me. Miya even said this herself, She seems kind of tough and cool but she's really a shy person. The fact that she's always messing with everyone and very self-assured but is really a shy girl underneath makes her even cuter. How they managed to find the most lovable girls on the planet, I'll never know.(^ε^)♪
Miya explains her scenes>

I got to display that I'm the most athletic member of the group. (not much competition with the 2 bakas)
---
I spy...my clumsy little angel - Momo.

Momo's adorable as always. And she has the cutest happy(high) face on the planet. If you can beat Airi's then you can't really get any physically cuter. Momo slide Momo Practice

She's so cute nestling into the chest. Momo-in-a-box? Where can I buy one of those???(●>_<)If she couldn't open it with the peaches she's got smuggled in her biceps then it really must've been heavy.
Yes, the spy scene- Tsugunaga Momoko version ended. I was a bit of a scatterbrain, It was fun. I thought, I want one of those flower guns, and...The scene where I got suprised by the suit of armor, I thought I'd like to try on the armor. I did a lot..Anyway, it was fun~

We changed costumes!~
YO~ Jan-ja-jan-ja-ja~n
Yay~
They're like each girl. Right?
They suit us.
This jacket is very Miya.
This sleeveless and short with the shoulders out is Momo
And this-
Long and sleeveless is
AIRI DA YO NE~
Airi, tell about the points this time.
Yes we have common fashion points.
This part's hilarious, they're such spazzoids. "Pinpon" means "that's right"
First is..1.PINPON~ That's one powerful pinky.
Different colored rings.
And- 2.PINPON~
And 3.PINPON~
AND~ PINPON!~ *knee slaps* lmao
AND~ PINPON!!~~
AND THEN~~(Tension gradually rising lol) PINPON~!!! Yayy~!! Woo~
So then, in the second half as well..

haha Miya saves the day "SHOee~" We'll do our best with a fighting spirit! Byebye~. O~i
(lol) Ah, follow you? Right, Ah~

["Lip" scenes]
Miya made some mistakes. Airi didn't because she's freakishly perfect.

Airi&Miya looking cute cuddled up in their set jackets- damn it really must've been cold. I think Miya's actually the only one who complained about it- I think she's the most sensitive to the cold,I know her hands get cold before shows. Airi looks at Miya expecting to meet a smiling face only to get zero reaction ... and she turns back around like Oh... haha. Aw.

Oh man the lyrics...Ganbare Ganbare~
Did you mess up?
Eh? No I didn't. Onegaishimasu~

Watashi no Tomodachi
This is my friend.
This is my relative.
This is my mama. (Wtf? haha) Buono! = WTF-ness galore.
Cake cutting I love how clumsy Momo is, it's so cute when Miya helps her with the cake- MiyaMomo's my favorite pairing, BUT I'll talk about that later lol This is an example of how they fit so well together, Momo's kind of clueless and Miya guides her through...(゜_゜Sorry I forgot we were talking about the cake for a second let's get back to it.
In any case I'll do my best.
-We only have one cake so don't mess up-
Gambatte ne.
Momo cutting calmly
It's hilarious when they're filming and they're like half-acting with the "that was good" "yay~" lol Momo must've messed up pretty badly if she broke character and made her classic "yabai" face lol she collects herself, "I'll do it again calmly" and Miya pats her on the back~ Miya's so cute and touchy-feely with Momo for this it's the cutest thing ever. Miya's very stoic and tough most of the time so when she gets raburabu it's so cute lol
When she's done Airi and Miya go "Perfect." but when the camera stops,
So sloppy~ That's nasty. haha
Take this
I'm afraid I can't do that, Please take that one.
That one's the biggest (lol) Miya flashes a peace sign.
In all seriousness though, They couldn't get a nicer cake? The strawberries weren't even in any particular pattern. lol Oh well, I love that they kept eating after the camera stopped- Kuishinbuono! indeed.
Otsukaresama
Filming's over!! Otsukaresama deshita~
*aggresive* Airi- how would you describe it?!
This time, We were Spies.

Who looked the coolest as a spy? Momo? Ah that's right.
Ah, Me? Thank you~
Yes. ..... Ne Airi!~ Come on~ (lol)
I was worried I wouldn't be able to crawl in my Spy scene, but I was able to~

Eh?
I WAS ABLE TO. Momo speaks Airinese.
I did my best, so that's what I'd like people to check out.
Momo raburabu
Look, why are you holding my arm like that? (lol)
Miya was caught haha (aw Miya is being so cute for this Making, but Momo took the wind out of her raburabu sails lol)
(@ Miya) You like Momo that much? I see, I see.
While Miya pouts, Airi grabs her arm smugly and *nods* Mhm.^^ haha she wasn't asking you~
She notices Airi's arm, too.
What's with this (lol) As Airi starts to retract Momo reaches for Miya's arm for a second but then realizes she's not on board so continues with her thought.
But the dance as well, we made it very cool. So I'd like everyone to check that out

AND~ AND~
AND~ This was great, this kind of..
The set? The building's great.
It fits the song well.

Ah, since this is the end, Everyone watch it over and over again!
Repeat-Repeat~!
Wow!
Byebye~

The PV Entire story gif
This PV blew everyone away, just because it's so different from past styles. You can't really say it's the BEST video they've made- because each song has certain good points about them whether it's the outfits, the dance, etc. This is definitely at the top of the list. They really took some time to make this video special. It doesn't take much, you know? All it takes is a little idea and we're happy. Each girl shines in her solo scenes- obviously I loved Momo the most. Her comedic ability (though not a stretch from her actual personality) really comes through on camera and speaking of coming through on camera- she looked gorgeous in all of her scenes. And man are those spy outfits adorable, with the gloves and all.
And since I am first and foremost in love with Momo, you should expect me to gush about her at just about any chance I get lol. This is random but I lo~~ve her hands. They're not normal girly hands, her fingers/nails are kind of wider and round and they seem like really cute, strong little hands, and they look cute in those finger gloves. XD One thing I love about Momo is she's really not that girly- she comes from a poorer family and you can see when she was little she was more boyish, and she doesn't care about make-up/doing her nails, that kind of thing as much as most other girls. I love her bushy eyebrows I hope she never waxes them haha She's very natural and looks beautiful without makeup, and has short, plain nails- which I find so adorable. High-maintenance girls with scary-ass nails are a no-no. I like natural, down to earth cool girls. And Berryz fans will probably agree, but Berryz have been pretty low maintenance and down to earth since the beginning, which is one reason why I love them. They're really sweet,thoughtful normal girls as opposed to most mindless hoes that populate the land these days.

I've read that some people were saying the dance isn't great- but I don't see anything wrong with it. It goes well with the song, the girls get solos, and have some tricky parts where they work together.

Anyway, the storyline had nothing to do with the song but it's great. It's hilarious how Momo's the Leader but she's a clumsy mess. That's more of her "Buono! character', she's actually the most hard-working/serious one, but her personality's the silliest. She's kind of the Leader of fun in a way- How she always tries to get Airi and Miya to go along with her hijinks. I think she's the driving force of Buono!'s fun factor. I love how she pulls out a switchblade only to cut the cake lol and, no I wouldn't trust her with a knife, gun, or any harmful object. I'd only trust her with my heart (ーー;).......? woah sorry crossed the creepy line. Coming back to Earth now.
Momocaps:


The Single:
MY BOY:
Yes! This song is extremely kickass and so damn catchy. The lyrics are cool and has that particular Buono! philosophical outlook. They are offering words of encouragement to a depressed boy. They sound very cool while being sweet at the same time- which is part of Buono!'s charm. Momo the wonder girl uses her killer low voice which really does kill me- her voice in general kills me actually. In the very best way possible. I'm not going to lie, whenever my Momochi has to sing/talk about boys I tune out, avoid it and return to my cushy bubble of denial. You all know how difficult it is to share a girl you love with the rest of the world- but personally the fact that she likes boys is an extra spike to my heart, so I try not to think about that lol. The Idol world is usually all about appealing to the Wotas, with love-centric songs. AKB48 is more cut-and-dry than H!P - they're more like Idol-Lite. lol So luckily for me, Berryz and Buono! rarely sing about guys with the exception of a few songs like "Waracchaou yo Boyfriend", etc. so I've been able to keep Momo within my cushy bubble of denial. lol
But anyway my point is, I don't personally enjoy singing about guys lol BUT, the fact that it's such a good song that it doesn't bother me proves how great they are.
They're actually offering advice to a depressed boy, and even though the point of the song is that the boy they're talking about is "their boy", it's obvious that the girls are playing a role, (in conjuction with the anime? I haven't seen it) so it doesn't bother me or anything lol So anyway, it's so fun and I can't wait to see it live.

Lyrics:
Yeah, it might have been wrong of me to not listen to your worries...
So of course, it's okay if you can't tell me about everything
If you look gloomy, gloomy things will find you
It's a waste for you to carry on with these heavy feelings
Ride On!

I know about how you can't say
"That's not right, it's like this", even if you wanted to
Surely the time will come when things will change entirely
This is that time!

Don't you want to be told Congrats on coming into this world?
If you let yourself feel today's breeze, it feels really nice, right?
You can even change the feeling of being at someone's mercy
into something you like; It's so nice!
What would you think if
everything was here for you? MY BOY!

You hear, spread, and have rumors spread about you
It means you lead a worry-filled youth
Is whether you're popular or not the issue?
Do you want them to say you're a go-getter?
Come on!

Go-getters have their own lonliness
Surely that's not on your path?
Someone who wants to hold hands is waiting somewhere
See, they're right there!

Isn't it enough to be told Congratulations on coming into this world?
Today's wind only blows today!
Because it's a digital world, people are careless and
they forget their true selves
What would you do if
everything was here for you? MY BOY!

Don't you want to be told Congrats on coming into this world?
If you let yourself feel today's breeze, it feels really nice, right?
You can even change the feeling of being at someone's mercy
into something you like; It's so nice!
What would you think if
everything was here for you? MY BOY!

君のなやみ気づかず　わる　かったかも、、、

すべては　君の　ためにあるって
ことなら　どうなの?　MY BOY!

うわさ聞いたりしたり　そう　されたりして
なやみ深き青春　スゴシテるわけです
モテル　モテナイそう　それが問題かな?
あいつスゴ腕なんだって　云われたいの?
Come on!

スゴ腕には　スゴ腕の　孤独がある
君ゆく道では　ないでしょ?
手つなぎたい　人が　どこか待っているよ
ほらね、すぐそこ!

生まれてきてオメデトー　それで十分でしょう?
今日の風は　今日しか　吹いてないから!
デジタルな世の中　だからうっかりしちゃう
ほんとの自分　すっかり忘れちゃったり
すべては　君の　ためにあるって
ことなら　どうする?　MY BOY!

生まれてきてオメデトー　なんて言われたいじゃない?
今日の風に　吹かれたら　気持ちいいよね!
生かされてるまんまに　動いてるって感じも

WARP!
This song is just as great as MY BOY. For personal reasons I prefer this one. haha The lyrics are cute, very sweet- they have a space theme (as in warp into Space) and the actual music is very clean, crisp pop with an orchestral, futuristic feel in the vein of 'My Love'. The main reason I love this song, though, is Momo's voice. I love everything about her, and her voice is at the top of that list. Her specialness comes through when she sings- Her voice is very sweet and heartfelt, I love it, it really shines in this song. If the Warp! translation doesn't show up anywhere I'll translate it. :) It's very simple.

Lyrics:
*EDIT* Translation:

Today the weather is cloudy going on fair
All Clear - OK to go
From the round window you can see the horizon
Alright let's go out there

The countdown echoes from the station
So then, shall we go? Are you ready?
We can reach even the end of the Galaxy in a flash, right?
A hyper, wondrous trip (Here we go yeah!!)
We can easily exceed the speed of light, right?
Hold on tight, Warp!
We're going to fly

If you come to like it, Andromeda is just ahead, too
It doesn't matter how many lightyears pass
The people from the blue planet must be charming
I long for a Space opera

As I say that, it's time to go
So then, shall we fly? Will you join me?

Wave to the Martians, Pass through Saturn's rings
A risky, lovely rendezvous (C'mon, baby!)
We can even pass the other side of the Milky Way
If you want to see me, Warp!
We can meet anytime

The Galaxy's limits will chase after us, too, right?
A hyper, wondrous trip (here we go!)
Wave to the Martians, Pass through Saturn's rings
A risky, lovely rendezvous (C'mon, baby!)
We can easily exceed the speed of light, right?
Hold on tight, Warp!
We're going to fly

ワープ!

本日の天候は曇りのち快晴ナリ
オールクリア準備はOK
まあるい窓から地平線が見えてるよ
ちょっとそこまでおでかけしよう

ステーションから響く　カウントダウンで
それじゃあ　行こうか　用意はいい?

銀河系の果てさえも　一瞬で着けるでしょ
ハイパーでワンダーなトリップ　(Here we go yeah!!)
光のスピードも　軽く超えられるでしょ
しっかりつかまってて　ワープ!
トばしてくから

もし好きになったら　アンドロメダもすぐそこ
何光年だって関係ないよ
青い星の人やっぱり魅力的かも
スペースオペラあこがれちゃう

なんて言ってるうちに　そろそろ時間だ
それじゃあ　飛ぼうか　ついてこれる?

火星人に手を振って　土星の輪をくぐって
リスキーでラブリーなランデブー　(C'mon,baby!)
天の川の向こう　駆け抜けていけるでしょ
会いたいと思ったら　ワープ!
いつでも会える

銀河系の果てまでも　追いかけてくれるでしょ
ハイパーでワンダーなトリップ　(here we go!)
火星人に手を振って　土星の輪をくぐって
リスキーでラブリーなランデブー　(C'mon,baby!)
光のスピードも　軽く超えてけるでしょ
しっかりつかまえてて　ワープ!
トばしてくから

I'm going to definitely backtrack and talk about past Buono! shows and music, and plan on first translating the Haropro Yanen! and KRC episodes when they hosted. I can't describe how excited I am for the Hybrid Punch! DVD - when I get in a more settled position and can afford it, I'm going to buy a region-free DVD player and get some DVDs that I've wanted, but I'm nowhere near being able to afford them now. Idols are an expeeeensive hobby (lifestyle) to have. Financially and socially. haha
