^ 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'.

Cinematic sold 2,277 copies in its first week, #36 weekly.

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

The only good thing about Jewel is Daisukinanoni

Yes Daisuki na no ni is still a great BENI album track and also Toki wo Tomete too

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.

BENI is currently in Cape Town , South Africa :O

Seems like BENI is there currently to do shooting to be used for future new releases , like perhaps a standalone photobook ?

Today is also the release of BENI “The Show” LIVE TOUR 2018 DVD which can be purchased at the BENI “CINEMATIC” LIVE TOUR concert venue/s too

finally a setlist for the tour I went to lol Do you know which date was filmed for the DVD?

14th July

yay its the date I went! thx!

Time duration for CINEMATIC DVD

CHASIN' the film - 11 mins
CINEMATIC -Behind the scenes- - 10 mins

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.

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

I think I like the album but it gets boring fast

BENI “CINEMATIC” LIVE TOUR is taking place today at Sapporo PENNY LANE24

And here's the venue capacity of today's concert - 206 people at maximum

I love venues like this , no matter how near or far you're away from the stage , your view will be good nonetheless

Also , BENI will be doing a Christmas special live tomorrow at LaLaport Nagoya Minato AQULS

Fans who plan to buy CINEMATIC tomorrow at the venue (apply to both versions) will receive autographed clearfiles from BENI herself after the Christmas special live finished
