Hop, step, jump! Drew, draw, drawn! Chip, syrup, whipcream! If you have seen the anime Shugo Chara, you must be familiar with the cute, upbeat opening theme. The song is sung by the energetic Japanese group called Buono!

Buono! is a Japanese female idol band consisting of three teenage girls: (left to right) Airi Suzuki, Miyabi Natsuyaki, and Momoko Tsugunaga. This is a unit of the Hello!Project, and the three girls are all memebers of the Hello!Project Kids.

The group first formed to sing the opening and ending theme song of the anime Shugo Chara, and continued to record the ending themes of the sequel Shugo Chara Doki.

Interestingly, the word "Buono" is actually Italian, meaning "tasty".

Airi is the youngest singer in the group, but her singing and dancing talents are not at all worse than the other two. In fact, she has a very powerful and amazing vocal talent. She is also a member of another Jpop group under Hello!Project, ℃-ute. She is the lead singer of that group.
