Yoake 11th October 2018 09:39 AM

PULLBACK is experimental what I like but it misses some progression to be wholly appreciated. I like the title of the new album and I hope that there'll be a great song on it because the singles didn't amaze me. I can't even remember how Chasin' and READY25 sound. :/

KarenPang 11th October 2018 10:36 AM

^ Yeah what I didn't like about Chasin' & READY25 were that they got over repetitive

I'm surprised BENI chose to include CANDY & Got A Feeling in CINEMATIC . I guess those who didn't know about the songs might not know that these 2 songs were put out before BENI started the 4 digital song releases campaign

Anyway better to include CANDY & Got A Feeling in a proper physical CD than to leave them in digital format

Is there a setlist for BENI THE SHOW 2018. i went, but since I#m not to familiar with her disco I can't remember a big portion.

BENI to release a 'CINEMATIC' album

Quote:

BENI will release her new album "CINEMATIC" on November 28.

It's been about two and a half months since BENI's last album "Shiki Uta summer." For her upcoming album, the singer compares her life to a movie so she plays both the "lead role" and the "director." It will include songs like "Arigato," "Got A Feeling", and "CANDY."

"CINEMATIC" will be released in both limited and regular editions. The Limited Edition will come with a DVD containing the album's making-of footage as well as a short film called "CHASIN' the film."

[CINEMATIC]

CD:

01. Intro
02. Cinematic feat. SARA-J
03. MONEY
04. Chasin' feat. IO
05. S.U.K.I.
06. Got A Feeling
07. CRY
08. Arigato
09. PULLBACK
10. CANDY
11. No one else like you feat. Michael Kaneko
12. Last Love Letter
13. READY25

DVD:

・CHASIN' the film
・"CINEMATIC" -Behind the scenes-
http://www.tokyohive.com/article/201...inematic-album

Honestly I rather see BENI make PVs for the songs that were released digitally prior to CINEMATIC but at least she's doing something a a bit different

I wonder how long the CHASIN' film will be :confused

Yoake 23rd October 2018 08:45 AM

I listened to No one else like you yesterday. The song is good until the guy sings. Not that he is bad but I don't feel his voice for this kind of song and BENI's voice is so nice that he breaks the charm.

KarenPang 23rd October 2018 09:03 AM

I think out of all the songs BENI released digitally the last few months , I like No one else like you the most cos it's so simple but yet it works so well for BENI

Also No one else like you is sung entirely in English but with BENI being bilingual , there's no weird Engrish going on

And yeah I agree , Michael Kaneko's vocals oddly sound quite mature in the song o_O but at least he did a good job working on No one else like you

KarenPang 24th October 2018 11:43 AM

Mienai Start is not included in CINEMATIC for now

I wonder if BENI will include the song in CINEMATIC once the covers get released or will she leave it as a digital song just like Sankyu. ? :confused

CINEMATIC is out! Thoughts?

I think this is one of BENI's better albums. It has an interesting concept and direction and some really good material. On the first listen, I loved the title track, MONEY, Got a Feeling, and PULLBACK, and liked the rest of the songs quite well too. Some miscellaneous (less than positive) thoughts:

- I really want to love Chasin', but I can't bring myself to do it... The chorus is so nice, but I can't get over how weird the pre-chorus feels. It's still a nice song, but I wish it was all as good as its best parts.

- Arigato is the weakest song on the album. Somehow, BENI sounds... kinda bad on the chorus.

- The swearing in No one else like you is SO JARRING. BENI sounds really good with the acoustic guitar accompaniment but the swearing seriously shatters the mood, and I feel like she doesn't have the best chemistry with Michael Kaneko.

ayumi_croatia 2nd December 2018 04:57 AM

Solid album but I got bored halfway through :laugh I feel like she lacked energy to carry these songs, if that makes sense.

The title track is a bop tho and I really like Chasin'. No one else like you is just odd.

Kacku 2nd December 2018 04:48 PM

^ Yeah, her lacking energy makes perfect sense. I didn't mind it but I can definitely feel it.

KarenPang 3rd December 2018 10:21 PM

I received my copy of CINEMATIC & I did the scans of the album + the clearfile bonus giveaway (surprised HMV Japan gave it as their & BENI's websites did not state about it)

Want to say that in a way it's super thoughtful for Universal to include all the photos of BENI in a standalone photobooklet & only 1 shot of her is included in the main album booklet which's this :

https://i.postimg.cc/5NCNXvn7/A.jpg

I'm not sure if this time round both versions of CINEMATIC have different photos of BENI cos I know for her previous studio albums , that happened . Not sure for Undress too :confused

Album credits wise , BENI cowrote all the songs in CINEMATIC . The intro is the only 1 that she wrote the lyrics by herself while she co-composed the entire album too

And ironically , the F word in No one else like you is censored in the lyrics sleeve o_O

Seeing that the total CINEMATIC DVD footages is only 21 mins , I think what was uploaded on YouTube is the full Chasin' film that's uploaded into 3 parts ?

The making of footages is probably longer if not on par with the Chasin' film but for now I don't know cos I need to rip the VOB(s) at my aunt's house since my old laptop cannot read DVDs anymore

Anyway , here're some of my favourite photos from the standalone CINEMATIC photobooklet

The image used in the Last Love Letter digital cover

https://i.postimg.cc/YCNr37cQ/B.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/JhPRfQzn/D.jpg

Album wise I haven't form a proper opinion on CINEMATIC but I think READY25 should not be the last song in the tracklist but I think BENI want to conclude the album on a positive note instead of Last Love Letter , based on the ending of the Chasin' film

I feel that Got A Feeling + CANDY should be excluded from CINEMATIC as these 2 songs were made available if you buy them via iTunes Japan at that time when BENI released COVERS THE CITY but not everyone might know about this so probably they're included in a physical release (pity for Miennai Start but it might feel out of place so :x )

Lastly , there's no secret track available in CINEMATIC unlike in Undress :s

^ That first picture you posted is gorgeous!

I listened to the album a 2nd time, and I think it's okay, not bad but for me it's just okay.
My favorite songs are Last Love Letter, MONEY and READY25
I also really started to like Chasin'.

I think out of all the studio albums BENI released , I still like Bitter & Sweet the most out of the lot

And it was around the time when I 1st came across BENI's music when I was watching TV in a hotel room & Kiss Kiss Kiss PV was being played and that happened while I was on holiday in Macau (random but true haha)

My least favourite album is probably Jewel , I can't really remember how the album tracks in there sound like o_O , same thing goes for Lovebox

Fortune was surprisingly good , still love crazy girl so much :luv2 and I also still loved Red too

Wow talking about this , hard to believe it will be almost 10 years since I 1st started listening to BENI :O

I'm not familiar with her discography, I need to give her earlier albums some spins.

Cinematic is growing on me but I still feel like it lacks certain energy, passion, something...from her. Lol

You should if you plan to . Her older albums were and are still great

And after listening to the CINEMATIC album tracks more , yeah BENI sounded quite lifeless to some extent . Maybe it was not done on purpose I don't know

BENI definitely does not sound like that in her past albums especially in Fortune where the album tracks are very energetic & upbeat

CINEMATIC is bland to me. I won't say it's a bad album but I can't really remember the melodies of the songs and I can't play it fully. I understand people who are saying there is a lack of energy because I felt the same since the releases of her digital singles. The only song who grew on me a little is S.U.K.I. The title track isn't bad but it's so repetitive that I got bored quickly. The structure and the sound remind me an introduction a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if they announced that it was the original intro and that they extended it.

I quite like her new album! I understand the feel and energy are different, but I think that was the point of this album. I think my current fave is S.U.K.I.

KarenPang 18th December 2018 11:29 AM

Also the way CINEMATIC is marketed is different unlike BENI's past albums as this's the 1st time she didn't include any physical single releases and the songs that preceded the album were all released digitally

CINEMATIC by all means is not a terrible album but if I want to recommend an album of BENI's to someone that hasn't heard her music before , that's not my 1st pick of choice

ayu_ready? 23rd December 2018 12:27 AM

Yeah I believe so then again the alcohol content in Japanese beer is not as high as others

And oh yes talking about H&M , I was outside the main big store found in my country last night & I think I caught a glimpse of BENI or 2 outside the ads that were playing constantly
