Kinda a pity that Run Away is not an A-side but rather a B-side

Would have been nice if BENI did a double A-side with regards to Satsuki Ame :3

Run Away felt so odd on 1st listen but I kinda enjoy it now

YesAsia's description of Satsuki Ame

Following her two hit cover albums in 2012, R&B songstress Beni is back in 2013 with a new single! Satsuki Ame is a mid-tempo R&B ballad written by Beni herself, and it will serve as the April theme song of news variety show Sukkiri!!.

this single does nothing for me, in the scale of her worst to best it is right ahead of Heaven's Door which is her worst single

I hope her next one is more interesting, maybe like Darlin', Crazy Girl or something more R&B

I really hope new BENI isn't like this at all

Is Heaven's Door really that terrible ? I love the concept behind it & she looks really beautiful in the PV , aside from the rather hideous looking wedding best woman's dresses she wore

I think Satuski Ame would have been better overall should Run Away doesn't sound like something so unfinished if not mix mash for all the wrong reasons

Same
I thought a new style meant fresh music
Nope
She'll NEVER EVER give us monkeys like Angela Aki

[KarenPang]

so you mean you want her to release COVERS 3 instead ?

sorry I rather take boring (if not somewhat uninspiring) original music over another cover album from her

[Delicious n Bold]

No
I hated her cover albums, even if they were in English.
This is definitely great for her fans, but she isn't making any new ones (like me )
I think her new hair style is HOT though. Maybe that will make me check out the album, which is actually a late bday present from her.

[Utena]

there'll always be people whining over the slightest thing either way. Angela Aki you said? You mean, the lady who used to release amazing music and got boring after 3 albums sounding the same? Ok. Regardless, I don't think she has her place here.

I don't care anyways, Satsuki ame is a great song and I'm sooooo stoked for the new single and the new album FINALLY *_* Come to think that it'll be the first I'll be able to grab in shops in Tokyo, I'm even more exited wuah!!! Can't waaaait (ok I'm a little ecstatic right now, blame this on Spring midterms.. hu)

[KarenPang]

it's always very easy to complain & whine until there's no tomorrow

when BENI had great unexpected success with both covers album last year , people lament when the hell she will release new original music

and WHEN that finally happened , another round of complaints that Satsuki Ame is boring/un-inspiring & the vicious cycle goes on & on

whatever happen to giving undue credit to the artiste herself ? BENI didn't had a hand in just writing Satsuki Ame , she also co-composed the song . Satsuki Ame wouldn't be a fave track of mine but the very least I can do is acknowledge her personal input into the song

and if it's so easy for every artiste to release every single of song that's perfect if not too perfect , then something's really wrong & really will that ever happen ? doubt it

[kakumei]

so who is with me in guessing this is going to just be a BEST album? especially with the higher prices.

the release formats haven't been announced yet, could be CD and 2 CD. (hmm stick Covers 3 on there maybe)

really hoping for an original album, but I doubt universal would pass up the chance to finally pop out a BEST for her while she is gaining a little bit of popularity again.

[Utena]

I'm afraid it might be the case... That would be disappointing but understandable I guess.
At least I won't be so pissed about missing on her touring in Sept.

[Delicious n Bold]

There's definitely credit to give her: she looks AMAZING.

lol Utena I like you but don't even girl. Not on my Angela Aki. SONGBOOK and BLUE were amazing albums.

BENI, on the other hand. Poor girl. I'll pray for her.
