Kiss! Kiss!...Where's My Kiss! From Airi???

I love the way everyone gets so excited whenever a Hello! Project artist puts out a new PV.  And if Buono! gets any better, they are going to be due their own headline tour...You know what?  They are already there!!!

This is yet another stellar song from Pony Canyon and the tremendous trio of Airi, Miyabi and Momoko!  How much do I love thee?  Let me count the ways...

1) They are sticking to the musical genre that endeared me to them in the first place.  Yes it's pop, but make no mistake.  Buono! has a heavy rock flavor.

2) These are the hottest outfits they have worn for a PV.  Pedolicious schoolgirl attire...and that hat Airi is wearing...Prrrrrr!

3) Taking a cue from THE Possible and fooling around with musical instruments.  What is up with Momo's drumsticks?  Is she channeling the spirit of Cozy Powell?  But I'm still trying to figure out if Airi's guitar is from the Rick Nielsen collection or the Fisher Price collection.

4) Momoko, no matter how hard you blow your drumsticks, they aren't a harmonica!

5) The scene where they are sleeping together near the end is Uber-Kawaii!  And we got kisses!!!  Well, at least two kisses.

Bottom line, this is another amazing song from this unit.  The chorus of the song is what catches my attention, upbeat in their higher ranges.  Once again it has Pony Canyon written all over it and Tsunku nowhere to be found.  Not that I don't like Tsunku, he's listed as one of my heroes on my MySpace page (along with Howard Stern, but that's another story)  It is just nice to have some fresh blood producing material for the girls around H!P.  It keeps things from getting too formulaic.  I'd say the chances of me puchasing this Cd are very good.
