Buono! (ボーノ, Bōno) is a Japanese Hello! Project unit consisting of three members: Momoko Tsugunaga and Miyabi Natsuyaki from Berryz Koubou, and Airi Suzuki from Cute. The name translates into "good!" (from Italian), but in Japan has come to connote an association with food, as in "delicious." All three members of Buono! originate from Chiba Prefecture.

History
The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on July 21, 2007, at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and formed to sing both the opening ("Kokoro no Tamago") and ending ("Honto no Jibun") themes for the anime adaptation of the Shugo Chara! manga. Buono! continued to record the ending and opening themes for the first season of the anime. As of the second season, Buono! only recorded the ending themes, as the opening themes were handled by Shugo Chara Egg! and Guardians 4, two other groups formed for the sake of performing Shugo Chara! music. On March 10, 2008, a collaboration album with Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg was released titled as Shugo Chara!Song Best, and on the same day a DVD titled as "Shugo Chara! Clips Best" was released with the same artists Guardians 4 and Shugo Chara!Egg.
On March 7, 2009, Hello! Project announced that Buono! was to perform at the Japan Expo in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 24, 2009, but the convention was cancelled a month earlier on April 21, 2009, due to "the financial change in world economy, severe competition from other festivals/concerts as well as poor ticket sales."
In December 2010, Buono! left the Pony Canyon label and moved to the Zetima label. Their 11th single (and first single under the Zetima Label), Zassou No Uta, was released on February 2, 2011.
In February 2012, Buono! performed in Paris, France with a sold-out concert of 800 people.
On June 25, 2012, Buono! took part in Yubi Matsuri, an idol festival produced by Rino Sashihara from AKB48. The concert was held at Nippon Budokan before a crowd of 8,000 people and featured such girl groups as Idoling!!!, Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, Super Girls, Tokyo Girls' Style, Nogizaka46, Passpo, Momoiro Clover Z, and Watarirouka Hashiritai 7.
2016: Miyabi Natsuyaki announced on her official Instagram account that Buono! will return August 25, 2016. This will be her first performance with the members since Berryz Koubou went on indefinite hiatus in 2015.
