#the shugo chara buono songs

[jinseibluetooth]

I've been half-watching, full-listening to Hello! Project live performance medleys all day, and it feels like falling in love for the first time again. It reminds me that I've been here for fifteen years and I'll be for fifteen more and as long as Hello! Project exists.

[wildelydawn]

I did NOT expect Huniepop/mystic messenger/shugo chara/kimchay AU from you but 👀

I used to know all the dances lyrics to every single Buono! song that was used in Shugo Chara and my favorite person on Mystic Messenger is Jae-hee. I never finished MM, but my beta and I thirst over all the characters pretty frequently.

I don't know if I'll continue that one. I need to finish the other 8 I have ongoing. But thanks for showing me and Shou some love!

[magical-xirl-4]

Idk if you ever watched the live concerts for Buono! (The band that did most of the ops and eds of Shugo Chara) but I watched some of it on YouTube and they are sadly disbanded so they did one last concert and on there last song they were like "this song is very special to us. It's are debut song. It is the song that made our dreams come true...Honto no Jibun! (First ed song of Shugo Chara)" And you can see the members tearing up in there eyes and it just made me cry.

Here's the link if you haven't seen it

https://youtu.be/68dRNzUSQUg

I'm aware that they disbanded, it makes me so sad. I think I watched their Honto no Jibun performance (that or Renai Rider) and I teared up as well. It was probably the former because it was the first ending, but Renai Rider makes me so emotional by itself I thought it was that one. Thank you for the link <3

[otakebi-cam-wao]

god, i feel the need to watch shugo chara again, but i know the main things I want is just to listen Buono!, Guardians4 and Shugo Chara Egg with the songs...

so I'll better just listen to'em

[doyoulikethisanimesong-poll]

Song: Honto no Jibun

Artist: Buono!

Anime: Shugo Chara!

Type: Ending

Youtube:

Spotify: N/A

[cringefailcabitha]

So, twisting the message a bit but Bot would definitely watch Shugo Chara and know the lyrics to all the songs Buono!, shugochara egg! and Guardians 4 wrote for the show,

[redfreesias03]

Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

“You’re cool! Just as you are, with your honest feelings, all of them. Yes, it’s love alright: the present you, with these overflowing feelings, all of them.”

OR: I don’t have any commentary, actually, I just love this song.

kotae nante dokoka ni aru tte omottecha dame sa kotae nante JIBUN no naka dake ni arunda

You shouldn’t think the “answer” can be found somewhere “Answers” are only found inside yourself

kakkoii jan ari no mama    sunao na kimochi    zenbu yappa    ai jan ima no mama    afureta kimochi    zenbu

You’re cool! Just as you are, with your honest feelings, all of them Yes, it’s love alright The present you, with these overflowing feelings, all of them

seiippai    hi ni mukatte     butsukete miyou yo mae muite    kao agete    naiteru HIMA wa nai yo

Let’s face the sun with all our might and tackle things head-on! Eyes looking forward, raise your head, there’s no time for crying

jounetsu no KISU! kono "seishun" ni KISU! ima GANBAtteru    kimi ga daisuki SAIKOO no KISU! sono "zenryoku" ni KISU! mune ippai no omoi    tsutaetainda yo A・I・SHI・TE・RU

A kiss of passion! A kiss to this “youth”! I love the you that’s doing your best right now The ultimate kiss! A kiss to your “all-out effort”! I want to convey my full heart’s worth of feelings I l.o.v.e. y.o.u.

riyuu nante doko ni mo mitsukaranakutatte ii sa kidzuita toki wa mou hashiridashiterunda

Even if you can’t find a “motive” for it anywhere, it’s okay Because by the time you realize it, you’ll have already started running

datte    ima jan tsukinukete    HADASHI no mama de    zutto sonde    ai jan tsuranuite    akiramenaide    zutto

After all, the time is now! Break through, barefoot as you are, keep on going forever And it’s love! Persist, don’t give up, ever!

kanashii hi wa onaka ippai tabereba ii tama ni HEKOndara hiru made netereba ii

On sad days, go ahead and eat until your stomach’s full If you’re feeling down occasionally, go ahead and sleep until noon

kandou no KISU! kono "shunkan" ni KISU! ima GANBAtteru    kimi ni agetai DONMAI no KISU! sono "yancha" ni KISU! mune ippai no omoi    kanjitainda yo DA・KI・SHI・ME・TE

A heart-stirring kiss! A kiss in this “moment”! I want to give you one for doing your best right now A “don’t stress!” kiss, a kiss to your mischievousness! I want you to feel my full heart’s worth of feelings H.o.l.d. m.e.

kanashii hi wa onaka ippai tabereba ii tama ni HEKOndara hiru made netereba ii

On sad days, go ahead and eat until your stomach’s full If you’re feeling down occasionally, go ahead and sleep until noon

jounetsu no KISU! kono "seishun" ni KISU! ima GANBAtteru    kimi ga daisuki SAIKOO no KISU! sono "zenryoku" ni KISU! mune ippai no omoi    tsutaetainda yo A・I・SHI・TE・RU

A kiss of passion! A kiss to this “youth”! I love the you that’s doing your best right now The ultimate kiss! A kiss to your “all-out effort”! I want to convey my full heart’s worth of feelings I l.o.v.e. y.o.u.

[mahoushoujo-ni-naritai]

So, uh... This is a video I've made literally a decade ago for a quizz on Sporcle. With all these copyright problems I never for once thought this video would resist and win(?) the battle, so I'm posting it here now lol. I would love to make more of this, but because of the after mentioned reasons, this is the only one. Everybody is always recalling about opening songs, so of course I felt the need to make something big about ending songs. The songs I chose are VERY random because I tried to make the game enjoyable by not making something so easy that you can answer it just by reading the name of the songs alone. Also, the mixing is a mess but I assure you it still worth listening lol. If you don't want to play the game and just listen to a megamix, here's the tracklist: 01. Nana Kitade - Kesenai Tsumi (Hagane no Renkinjutsushi/FullMetal Alchemist) 02. Berryz Koubou - Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW? (Patalliro! Saiyuki) 03. KOTOKO - →unfinished→ (Accel World) 04.

(Den'ei Shoujo/Video Girl Ai) 08. Kana Nishino - Style. (Soul Eater) 09. Yui Sakakibara - Beautiful Day (Boku wa Otome ni Koishiteru) 10. AiM - Keep On (Digimon Adventure) 11. Hiroki Wada - Mystic Eyes (Tenkuu no Escaflowne/The Vision of Escaflowne) 12. AYANA - Kaze no Tadoritsuku Basho (Kanon) 13. Mai Nakahara & Ai Shimizu - Himitsu Dolls (Strawberry Panic) 14.

“Our Songs” - Shugo Chara Party - October 3, 2009

[hotarutranslations]

Maeda Kokoro "20 Questions 20 Answers" Haro Puro Love Talk!

In 2018, we’re having a celebration of the Hello! Project 20th Anniversary (Hello Love). For the members who belong to Hello! Project, their thoughts on the 20th anniversary activities and enthusiasm for 2018, thoughts of an everyday idol, we had a passionate “20 questions 20 answers” talk~ This time its BEYOOOOONDS Maeda Kokoro!!

  Maeda Kokoro = Born June 23rd, 2002. Hometown Saitama.

 Q1: Tell us the meaning of your name!

 It’s the name of the heart but, they wanted to pack in the meaning of a kind-hearted girl. Isn’t it cute, in Hiragana? Saying someone is cute because of their name, I really like it.

Q2: What senior are you aiming towards?

 Former Morning Musume’s Kudo Haruka-san and Angerme’s Sasaki Rikako-san. Kudo-san and Sasaki-san have the same feeling and, I think I also want to become a person who is able to be cool and cute. Also, Kudo-san and Sasaki-san also have husky voices. Since my voice is pretty husky as well, it’s a common point for me. But, Kudo-san and Sasaki-san are good at singing, and I want to come to sing like them. Sasaki-san’s expressive dancing is super cool!

 Q3: Who would you want to be reborn as?

 Angerme’s Kamikokuryo Moe-san. I really like her voice. Its like a crystal voice, it’s nice and clear. Its cute that she is short, and her eyes are big like a dolls. Since I’m taller, I think those who are smaller are cute personally. Those that are bigger are also good but, I’d like to become her.

 Q4: What are you the best at in Hello! Project?

 My specialty is karate, I don’t think I could lose to anyone in karate. I started in kindergarten, and I’m a 2nd level black belt. I got 2nd place at the prefecture tournament, I’ve also been to nationals. In 6th, 5th and 4th grade elementary, I got 3rd runner up.

 Q5: Tell us something amazing about Hello! Project!

 You’ll end up getting into them from watching them once. When you can’t get out of it, you’ll want to watch more and more videos. You’ll end up looking over the cool senior performances. I also, want to come to have the presence where people will want to watch me more.

 Q6: Who would you want to be in a Hello! Project special unit with?

 Since I get along with Ono Mizuho-chan (Tsubaki Factory) and Kawamura Ayano-chan (Angerme), I’d like the 3 of us to sing. I often have the male roles but, since the 2 of them are cute I’d want to do a cute song. Also, its my dream to sing “Futari wa NS” or “Kirarin Revolution” with Ono Mizuho-chan. It’d be nice if it came true someday.

 Q7: Tell us a BEYOOOOONDS song you like! “Megane no Otoko no Ko”. I get to play the glasses wearing boy; I cut my long hair into a shortcut for the first time in my life. Its an opportunity for me to play the glasses wearing boy myself, that is, I’m taller so they used me.

 Q8: What is a Hello! Project song you like?

 Buono!-san’s “Honto no Jibun”. When I was small I really liked the songs “Shugo Chara!” and “Kirarin Revolution”, I didn’t know about Hello! Project songs. Since those are what I listened to when I was small, they’re beloved songs. I always listen to them.

 Q9: What is the difference between current and previous Hello! Project?

 The number of people. At Hello! Project Concerts we have shuffle units; its fun as there is a growing number of members to be able to do it with. Since we’re able to show off various groups. It’s like I wonder who I’ll be with, for this Hello! Project concert.

 Q10: Other than yourself, who would you recommend as an oshi?

 Sasaki Rikako-san. Before I had become a Hello! Project Kenshuusei, I had always liked her. I liked her when she was in Kenshuusei, she really pulls you in when you watch her Kenshuusei era videos. Its like you’re going to cry from watching her full of energy dancing. Watching her is amazing. She is amazing and cool at full power.

 Q11: What do you want us to see most from yourself?

 I’m tall. Now I’m 168cm, maybe I’m the tallest in Hello! Project!? Recently, I’ve grown taller than the girls in Kenshuusei, but, I myself think those that are smaller are cute. But, I think that my height is a strength. You can see me even if there are a lot of people since I’m tall. I’m tall but, it’d be nice to dance bigger and stand out more.

 Q12: What is work you want to challenge?

 It’d be nice to do karate for work. I’ve been doing karate up until now, and I think it would be an opportunity to see the teachers who have helped me. Its an official sport in the Tokyo Olympics so, it’d be nice to be involved in that. Also I’d like to try modeling work.

 Q13: What do you want us to see most from BEYOOOOONDS?

 The members strong personalities. Each of us stand out without burying each other, our strong personalities are our weapons. Since there are 12 members, our momentum is strong. I think the members all get along well too; I think our power of unity is also a weapon.

 Q14: What will you be doing in 20 years?

 I respect Kudo Haruka-san who is active as an actress, I also admire her, and since I also like plays I’d like to challenge acting. With hopes that I can be active after I graduate Hello! Project, I think I’ll have to do my best.

 Q15: Since it’s the 20th anniversary, tell us a secret!

 I play the male roles but, I’m told that I’m told inside I’m like a young lady (laughs). I like cute things. I like clothing like cute skirts, but since getting a shortcut I’ve often been wearing pants. I’ll wear matching clothes like pants or trainers. But I like cute clothing.

 Q16: What do you want to be able to do in year?

 My specialty isn’t singing, so I want to do my best to catch up to the everyone in BEYOOOOONDS since they’re good at singing. Its presumptuous of me, but I’m aiming towards Suzuki Airi-san. Her singing is really amazing.

 Q17: What would you be doing if you weren’t an idol?

 I’d have always continued with karate. I quit karate when I became a Hello! Project Kenshuusei so, that was around 6th grade. But, I underwent the Hello! Project Kenshuusei audition and became Kenshuusei; during the auditions I felt overwhelmed and so I quit karate, first. Before that, I had planned to always continue with karate through high school.

 Q18: What are you most in to right now?

 I have a dog, and its really cute. Its Yorkshire Terrier girl. She was born in the summer so her name is “Natsu”. She likes vegetables, if my mom is going to cut vegetables, she reacts as soon as they’re taken out of the refrigerator. Also she also likes apples. If they’re brought out she’ll immediately react; her watching the whole time is cute.

 Q19: Who do you get along with in Hello! Project? Tell us a recent episode!

 Tsubaki Factory’s Ono Mizuho-chan and Angerme’s Kawamura Ayano-chan. We haven’t hung out recently but, we have gone to Tokyo Disneyland before. With each of them. Ayano-chan rode the roller coasters, I really love them as well so I rode them with her. But, Ono Mizuho-chan is weak. Therefore, I rode lots of roller coasters at Tokyo Disney Sea with Ayano-chan, and I took a lot of photos with Ono Mizuho-chan at Tokyo Disneyland.

 Q20: What is an idol to you?

 The center. I’ve always liked Hello! Project, Hello! Project is the center of my life. I liked Kudo-san in elementary school, I liked imitating her dancing. When my friends would invited me over, I refused like “I’m sorry, I have lessons,”. I didn’t have lessons, I was just memorizing the choreography (laughs). I would stop the DVD little by little and memorize the choreography. I liked memorizing various videos and MV’s, and I would spread them around to various people. A lot of my friends have become those who like Hello! Project, so I’m happy.

Shugo Chara Doki Recap: A Prologue

ugGGGGggGgggggHHHHhhHHHHhhhHH

So... on the one hand, SCD brings back Nagihiko, gives us the fun relationship of Rimahiko and has some legitimately fun episodes. Plus Omakase Guardian! and My Boy are respectively best OP and Ending Theme. 

BUT THEN THERE’S LULU. (more on my hatred of her later).

ALSO THE FACT THAT THE FIRST TWO EPISODES OF THE SEASON ARE RECAP. WE LITERALLY JUST HAD A RECAP EPISODE A DOZEN SOMETHING EPISODES AGO AND LITERALLY NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE HAPPENED.

Oh, and I hate Take It Easy. It’s the only Buono! song I can’t listen to without raging. But more on that later.

Needless to say, it’s going to be a mixed and varied ride. And we’re not even at the worst part of the show. But more on that way, way later.

Bandori 30 Day Cover Song Challenge: Days 16-20- An Anime Song You Want (Band) to Cover

Poppin’ Party- DDD by Aoi Shouta (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oDAeWLldrg) Afterglow- The Day by Porno Graffitti/Peace Sign by Yonezu Kenshi (TV versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-77UEct0cZM/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AuPpGuewzw) Pastel*Palettes- Kokoro no Tamago by Buono/Sakura Kiss by Kawabe Chieko (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDwdte1fHHU/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi4JLywH_cA) Roselia- Break Your Spell by Psychic Lover (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suc4KveAXuU, Full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DhBG6uIdWo) Hello, Happy World- We Are by Kitadani Hiroshi (TV version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwXKz2CeHwY, Full: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pme-E9fOnIE)

For Popipa, I wanted to go with a song from Future Card Buddyfight, a card games series that Bushiroad owns! This is cuz Popipa has so far sung two songs for the series: B.O.F as an ending for the first series and Saa Ikou as an opening for the second series! Not only that, but Rimi’s seiyuu voices a character in the new series and Kasumi’s seiyuu voices characters in both series’! Anyway, it was a tough choice because many of the songs used in this series are very Popipa-like, and I’d honestly love to see them do covers of these songs...in the end I went with DDD by Aoi Shouta! It’s a really cool song and since Popipa has done more hard rock songs like Teardrops and Time Lapse, I’d love to see them cover this song!

For Afterglow, I’ve told my friends before that I honestly wanted to see them cover The Day by Porno Graffitti, which was used in Boku no Hero Academia. Honestly though, after hearing Peace Sign by Yonezu Kenshi (which was also used for BnHA), I’d like to hear Afterglow cover either song honestly. I mean...the instrumentals used in The Day are really rock-ish and very Afterglow like! I love the explosiveness of the song and I think Aglow could make a great cover of the song! For Peace Sign, the song is a bit less explosive compared to The Day, but it’s still really catchy and the instrumentals are really cool! Also, I can just picture Ran singing the song!

When I think of Pasupare cover songs, I always see them covering Mahou Shoujou themes and the like. Honestly though, I really wanna see them cover either Sakura Kiss by Kawabe Chieko (Used in Ouran High School Host Club), or Kokoro no Tamago by Buono (used in Shugo Chara). Both songs bring me so much nostalgia, Kokoro no Tamago especially, and they’re both such cute songs! I’d love to hear Pasupare cover either one! I think Aya would sound great singing them!

Similar to how I chose a Buddyfight theme for Popipa, I wanna see Roselia cover another song from Cardfight Vanguard. I’m glad that Roselia already did cover a song from Vanguard and they did an awesome job with Believe In My Existence! However, I feel like Believe In My Existence would have fit Aglow a lot better >< Not only that, but I really, REALLY wanted Roselia to cover Break Your Spell by Psychic Lover. THIS SONG IS MA JAM!! I LOVE IT LIKE...A LOT! It’s very melodious like a lot of Roselia’s music and I could totally see them rocking out to this! I think they could make an absolutely AMAZING cover of this song! 

The song I wanted HHW to cover was a no brainer to me. We Are by Kitadani Hiroshi aka the very first opening for One Piece! THIS SONG IS SO GOOD!! I love this song so much, you would not believe how much I love it. It’s got a super catchy rhythm, the song is sung so lively, and the lyrics are really fun and adventurous! I think this is honestly a perfect song for HHW to cover because it’s energetic and happy, just like them!

[mahoushaymie]

I'm feeling a bit better now and I'd like to share a song that kinda helped me through everything. So from 2010 to like 2013 I was absolutely OBSESSED with the jpop group Buono, who did the majority of the songs for Shugo Chara. This song wasn't for the anime but it's one of my favorites of theirs, however it's just very specifically this performance. I don't like the studio version at all but the live version calms me down when I need it. 😊

Today marks eleven years since my grandma's death and this day used to absolutely wreck me but now I just feel kinda numb. I was twelve and I remember her being sick and getting worse. She was staying with her mother (my great-grandma) and I just had a FEELING she was going to go and not knowing how to react. We were all gathered around her but I couldn't even be in the same room as her because she just looked so sick.

My grandpa asked if I wanted to go home. And I said yes because I just knew she was going to die and I didn't want to be there for it. So I just went home alone and scrolled through Bulbapedia mindlessly (Pokemon was and always will be a comfort series for me) until my family came home and told me that she died.

Sometimes I wonder if it was selfish of me to leave instead of staying with her until the end. It'll always be the biggest regret of my life.

Q&A with Candy

Time for our third interview- today, we’re focusing on our sweet n’ sour Candy!

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Introduce yourself! Who are you and where are you from?

Hello! My name is Candy, and I’m from New York, USA.

When and how did you discover idols? How long have you been a fan, and why?

I officially discovered idols back in 2011 thanks to the unhealthy obsession I had with anime back then, and the first idols I initially discovered were Buono! from their Shugo Chara theme songs. Discovering Buono! lead me to discovering Hello! Project as a whole, which furthered my interest in the Japanese idol industry.

What is your favorite group? Your oshimen? Why?

As of right now, my favorite idol group is HKT48 as they have a lot of members that appeal to my current taste in idols, which happens to be strong visuals with loads of personality. My oshimen is HKT48’s Akiyoshi Yuka because when I first started watching HKT48 stages this past year, her shining aura immediately struck out to me and the more content I saw of her, the more I began to love her as an idol.

What made you want to be a net idol?

When I discovered Japanese idols, being an idol secretly became a dream of mine. I wanted to go to Japan and audition for real idol groups, but I also stayed realistic with myself and knew that I could never afford to do that on my own and there’s much more behind the scenes to an idol besides pretty costumes, cute faces and catchy music. However, once I started becoming more familiar with the underground idol scene and became familiar with the concept of net idols, it became something I was really interested in because it would essentially allow me to chase my dream and gain more experience as a performer and entertainer, whilst staying in my own comfort zone.

What are your goals in Linked♡Hearts?

In Linked Hearts, my goal is not only to be as successful as a net idol as I can be, but to also become an inspiration to young black girls and women such as myself who are interested in the idol industry and would become an idol at any moment if the opportunity presented itself to them. I also want to work on strengthening my performance talents, while also learning how to present myself in a way that is interesting to potential fans.

What about Linked♡Hearts are you excited to try?

In Linked Hearts, the thing I’m most excited for is communicating with any fans that we gain, while also working on performing with other people. I have about 3 years of advanced choir experience so I’m somewhat used to working with people, but working with a group of net idols with different appeals and approaches will definitely be a new challenge for me that I am ready to face head on.

Do you consider yourself unlucky?

Luck is such a tough concept, so I don’t consider myself lucky or unlucky. How I see it is the energy that you put out into the world, will always come back to you more aggressively. When I do good, great things happen to me. When I do bad, horrible things happen to me. In my eyes, it’s an even playing field that is completely determined on my actions and my actions alone.

Which planet in the solar system would you visit?

Ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve always been fascinated with Saturn, so that’d definitely be the first planet I’d visit if it were possible. Not just because Saturn is the most aesthetically appealing planet to me, but because it’s atmosphere is completely different from the Earth’s, so being able to visit it would be a surreal experience.

What’s the last thing you do at night?

Thanks to quarantine, my sleeping schedule is completely flipped to where I stay up all night and sleep during the day. So my new night time routine has become: eating dinner, watching TV shows (usually on Netflix or Disney+), and using social media (usually Twitter or Tumblr) until I get tired. Once I’m tired, the final thing I do before bed is go on YouTube and search “r/niceguys” or “r/nicegirls” videos to listen to as I fall sleep.

Do you believe in astrology? Why/why not?

I practically eat, sleep, and repeat to astrology. Just kidding, but I do hold a lot of faith in astrology. As seen in the Mikan video, I am currently practicing tarot reading and working my best to master it. From the readings that I have done, I do feel like tarot cards are majorly accurate in predicting future events, addressing conflict that hasn’t been addressed before, and gives amazing insight on what are the right steps to take to have the fulfilling future that you want to have.

How do you take your coffee?

My friends like to call my coffee order a “milkshake”. I only order coffee from Dunkin Donuts, so my order is typically: Caramel Swirl Iced Coffee, with 5 shots of creamer and 5 sugar packets. Yes, I do realize this is a problem. No, I do not want help.
