Buono! Natsu dakara - Review




So, A new Buono single... I really don't know what the fuck happened here; some of the previous singles were actually good but this is just a disgrace.



I don't know what joker did the costume designing for the video, but it's a bit shit and boring to look at - All they are wearing is white! What do they have against colour? To be fair, they do wear denim shit later on, so there is a bit of colour to be seen in the costumes... But what the fuck? The denim doesn't even fit here! I know earlier Buono crap is about punk/rock and stuff so the denim usually suits their style, but this song has absolutely no elements of punk or rock in it, so wearing that costume makes them look completely ridiculous (The white dress is boring, but at least it fucking works with the music. Them wearing denim crap for this song is like some death metal band who sings about disembowelling babies dressing up in fucking tutus and ballet dancing throughout the whole video). One of these girls is wearing the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen on her head – I think it’s supposed to be a little hat but it’s the most stupid thing in the whole video. That same girl has some monstrous earrings in the white dress.

What the fuck is on her head?

Whoever edited this video has issues; it’s all over the damn place. Some of the edits are ridiculous – Cuts to a close up, then glitches, goes back out again, close up. Following all this is a joke… Girls swapping places on the screen, then getting in your face, then changing clothes, then being fascinated by fish, random cuts, etc.

I’m pretty sure this was shot in Tsunku’s house, because there’s a bit where they open a random briefcase on the floor which contains a shitload of lollipops and toys (which Tsunku probably got out the back of his windowless van)… Sounds like something Tsunku would get up to.

Tsunku's Child Abduction Briefcase

I really don’t know why these girls are so fascinated by a fish tank; it’s like they’ve never seen fish before in their life.

"Wow, what is this thing? I've never seen anything like it!"

Okay, now this is just fucking disturbing. The video ends with the 3 girls, in their denim clothes, sleeping on the sofa, in the same position they were just a second ago (they weren’t lying down and shit, they were just sat there asleep)… This proves beyond ANY DOUBT that Tsunku is a sex offender - he slipped some kind of drugs into those lollipops in the briefcase to put those girls to sleep (Rohypnol?). Well, why the fuck else are they sleeping in the same damn position they were just sitting in, in the middle of the fucking day? This makes me sick.

Tsunku has them right where he wants them...

After the fade out, I’m guessing he brutally rapes them all.

The lyrics are a joke; the video doesn’t even go with the lyrics most of the time, it just looks and sounds stupid. They are just about stupid crap, like most of their songs I suppose, so I guess I can’t complain about them too much. At least it doesn’t repeat the same damn line about 20 times in a row in this one.

Do you think there is enough white in this scene?

Now for the music… This is where shit gets serious.

Starts off with a simple little vocal line, but then she busts out a rap (she had to ram a shitload of syllables in that 3rd line), then goes back to normal again. It doesn’t exactly fit… When I first heard it, I thought “What the fuck?”, because it came out of nowhere. To be fair though, this intro isn’t too bad, apart from the rap outburst.

At first I was like...

Then I lol'd

What the FUCK is going on now!? These vocal harmonies are making me sick. Are we in the fucking 60s? I like vocal harmonies, but stay away from the 60s, fools; there’s a good reason no one harmonises like that anymore.

Well, after that abomination, we have a pretty basic verse – Simple chords with a simple melody over the top. Nothing more to say about it really.

Some random clapping section before the chorus, after a build-up. It built up quite nicely, then randomly stops for some clapping, and THEN goes into the chorus. The idea itself is a good one, but it wasn’t executed brilliantly here. Oh well, at least they tried.

Bitchin' earrings

The 60s harmonies are back in the chorus making me sick again. This chorus is actually pretty boring; why not just stick to the good old I-VI-IV-V which ALWAYS works (it’s a songwriter’s secret weapon)? Any songwriter knows the chorus is supposed to be the catchiest part of the damn song. Well, to be fair, it is the catchiest part of this song, but it’s not the most catchy chorus I’ve ever heard, it has to be said… Needs to be a bit catchier.

Fuck sake, now the 60s section from the beginning is back again.

Then it goes back into the verse section again. Pretty much the same as before.

Then it’s the build-up with clapping pause again, then another chorus (more 60s harmonies…).

Thank fuck that 60s section from the beginning doesn’t play again. Instead is goes into some random emo spoken section (the words for this bit aren’t on the lyrics pages online for some reason, but I swear she’s saying something along the lines of “HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME? I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!”).

The awkward moment when you realise you can open tin cans with your overbite

After that random bit, it gives us a build up with an extended clapping break… Then the chorus is back again with more 60s bullshit.

Then the FUCKING 60s section from the beginning again.

Then the song finally ends with some weird ass repeated arpeggio.

In conclusion, this is definitely not the worse song I’ve ever heard, but it’s not great either. The video is a joke and also, perhaps, the most disturbing music video I’ve ever seen (because of Tsunku’s lust for young Japanese girls, slipping them rohypnol and raping them after the video ends), the music is all over the damn place, the lyrics are stupid, and Tsunku is a troll.

And I still don’t understand why they are wearing denim and trying to look all “punk-ass bitches” in the least “punky” song they have EVER done.

Overall, I’ll give this:

4/10
