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.

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

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. ?

I'm disappointed by the covers. The promo pic is great and really fit the concept of cinematic. The covers are just nice pics who can be magazine photoshoot. And I don't even want to talk about that text

Seems like BENI sung Namie's Don't wanna cry in today's live broadcast of UTAGE! Aki no Saiten 2018



https://twitter.com/mayuyu0008/statu...67280074547201

Not sure who's the lady on the left side of BENI D:

Upclose shot of BENI's outfit

And this would have been a great potential CINEMATIC cover but maybe it's another promo shot ?

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.

Solid album but I got bored halfway through 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.

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

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 :



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

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







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
