You're referring to Natsu no Omoide ?

If so , yes it's an English cover . Originally sung by Ketsumeishi

Sooo... which are the new songs that are not covers? This mini album, album whatever confuses me...

Guess you miss my previous post

http://ahsforum.com/forum/showpost.p...&postcount=290

So the rest are original songs I suppose... Thanks ^^

BENI Premium LIVE 2016 in Fukushima will take place tomorrow & after the concert , there will be a handshake + autograph session :3

http://benibenibeni.com/news/news.php?news_id=440

I wish I could be there ;_;

Natsu no Omoide is quite nice , a bit long though

It's unique for BENI to cover songs in English something that I think she didn't imagined the concept would become so big with her 1st covers album

And she's bilingual so there's no weird Engrish going on

Yeah, you understand her when she sings English at least.

Shiki Uta summer is now listed on iTunes Japan

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/sh...r/id1121512484

Not all the new songs are available . So far only Summer Lovers , Natsu no Omoide & Eien marriage ver. are available for purchase

Summer Lovers teaser



The full song itself is actually not bad . Very Summer ish

^ Boring. For me nothing will beat "Forever" (both song & PV) as summer hit - just love it.

Forever is fun although some feel it's not worth to get released as a single

Still , to me OUR SKY is my favourite BENI Summer single . I remembered being ridiculously over obsessed when it was released & frankly I don't mind that it's included in Shiki Uta summer

I'm only in here to gush over her skin too <3 It's such an interesting color.

ty karen~

great pics:love

Same, I was so obsessed with OUR SKY when it came out and I still listen to it frequently and love it

Also total duration of BENI “BEST” LIVE TOUR 2014 footages is over 100 minutes long

thxx for the pics:love

I think the new material in Shiki Uta summer is alright . Hanabi is quite a nice ballad

I feel the new songs don't blow me away on 1st listen but at least they have a rather strong Summer vibe

Since Shiki Uta summer has a Summer theme , wonder if BENI will be doing a Winter concept album next ? LOL

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmFb2jKUoAANTGf.jpg

https://twitter.com/HMV_Fukutsu/stat...80270511357953

The backcover for both editions is the same

The album looks really nice in real life ~

Wow, I like this album surprisingly much. Natsu no Omoide is my new summer jam, it's perfect, like a cool drink on a sunny beach. :heart I also love Baby Blue and Summer Night Fever, I've been replaying those three the whole day. Even aside from them, I really like Summer Lovers, Hanabi, and Forever, and OUR SKY is still one of my favourite BENI songs ever. Eien puts me to sleep and the last two songs aren't that memorable, but this is still a really enjoyable release! I'm liking this album a lot more than her two previous studio albums, so if she's gonna do more "concept albums" like this, I'm all for it and I hope I'll enjoy the other ones as much. :)

^ will you be buying Shiki Uta summer , Anna ?

Shiki Uta summer 1st day position - #11

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2016-06-28/p/2/

The album is really nice overall, I'll pick up a copy next month when I'll be in Tokyo :)
Too bad she's not on the cover artwork itself :/

So the CD + DVD edition has a slipcase

That separate BENI “BEST” LIVE TOUR 2014 DVD cover looks nice :love

^ That's cool. DVD seems to be in a slimcase.

Seems that Shiki Uta summer will be the 1st of such concept album that BENI released

I wouldn't be surprised if Shiki Uta autumn would be next :x

^ I wanna buy it but not sure where to order from..I would like to receive it quickly and not have to wait ages like I usually have to with my CD's and such D:

I wouldn't mind an Autumn version tbh. It's actually my favorite season with winter :yes

If you live in Asia , you wouldn't need to worry about getting custom taxes whenever you order something online

But because you live in Europe it's different so :x

I don't mind an Autumn theme for a next concept album either . BENI can't sell well for singles in the 1st place so doing something like that is different , like what she did for the COVERS English albums

===

A PV was made for Natsu no Omoide



:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao Oh man this's so funny I can't :laugh

Whoever thought of the concept it's a genius :roflmao . At least BENI appeared towards the tail end of the PV but other than that , it's hilarious I can't stop laughing when I watch it

I will see what I can do with ordering it. I will have to wait ages for it to arrive anyway no matter where I order Im sure.

I saw the PV yesterday and I love it. It's so cute and funny. :yes Was happily suprised BENI at least appeared a bit as well, and she looked gorgeous :love

I think they got the idea from Thailand advertisement, there is similar advertisement with this theme...

but of course this Beni's PV is escalate the idea and expand it to a really amazing idea. Very well done and the execution is splendid.

Was it ever officially announced that she'll do one for each season? Cause I'd love that especially if all of them are as good as this one

Yay ^^

Shiki Uta summer debut position/1st week sales - #22 ; 4,014

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/w/2016-07-11/p/3/

Also for some odd reason , the Natsu no Omoide PV was removed from BENI's YouTube account but the video was reuploaded on her other Vevo YouTube account hmm



Likewise , the full Eien (marriage ver.) lyrics video was posted on BENI's Vevo YouTube account

I received my copy of Shiki Uta summer today

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmvM6K3VIAEOsrz.jpg

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CmvM689UsAAxO4-.jpg

Sadly there're no photos of BENI inside the disc aside from the promo picture x_x

Also interesting thing to note is in the album credits , BENI is credited as the producer while Dohzi-T supervised the production of Shiki Uta summer

For the new material , writing/composing credits as follows

1) Summer Lovers - written by BENI , BENI co-composed the melody
2) Natsu no Omoide - English lyrics translation written by BENI
5) Baby Blue - written by BENI
6) Hanabi - Cowritten by BENI & Dohzi-T , BENI co-composed the melody
7) Summer・Night・Fever - written by BENI , BENI co-composed the melody with UTA
10) Natsu ga Owaru Koro - Cowritten by BENI & Dohzi-T , BENI co-composed the melody

It looks so niiiice ^ I still don't know where to grab my copy from..never ordered from Yes Asia before..maybe I should try it for once..

Aww.. I at least assumed there would be one more picture of her except the promo one we already got, but well you can't have everything xD

Yeah sadly for the CD sleeves , they only include the digital covers of Natsu no Omoide & Eien marriage ver. while the promo picture they used of BENI , it's placed in the CD casing -_-

Maybe you should go with YesAsia as they somehow are able to help you avoid paying custom tax even though waiting time wise it's long

Natsu no Omoide PV has been uploaded on JPopSuki TV

I think she said something about a video shoot. So I assume, yes Summer Lovers is getting a PV. Wonder when we can see the video.
I think the hairstyle is cute ~

Is it correct to assume they scrapped the 4 seasons albums?? Cause autumn would have to be out by now...

^ Looks like that but they may still release spring and autumn next year...

Finally some new BENI music

New digital song 見えないスタート ; Mienai Start will be released digitally tomorrow although it's already out today on LINE MUSIC

Finally something new from BENI x_x

BENI LIVE HOUSE TOUR 2017 will take place in March - April

http://www.benibenibeni.com/news/new..._category_id=2

1st date of the tour will take place on 30th March ie. on the same day as BENI's birthday

Mienai Start is now uploaded on iTunes Japan

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/mi...e/id1193381566

like the new song and the new tour sounds great:D

She looks hot! Can't wait to hear the new songs.

Mienai Start is a lovely ballad . Didn't expect BENI to sing the song in both English & Japanese co-currently

It's a shame that this's released digitally , it should have gotten a physical CD release

Then again BENI's singles never sell/chart well so :x

It sounds like a Disney song lol
I didn't think it would be a ballad when I saw the covers

^Same here. I also find it's similar to Disney songs. I didn't expect that she would do such kind of song. I like it.

Somehow the promo picture + digital single cover for Mienai Start don't match with the song itself o_O

I thought it was going to be a really gloomy depressing song . It's surprising that's not the case

I really like this kind of smaller live..

Live House is my favourite out of all the different performance venues because even if you're far back in the crowd , you wouldn't feel left out as compared to being in a Stadium , let alone in a Dome

You just have to make sure you don't get crushed by fans if they do headbanging moshpit stuff & all that but I doubt that happens to BENI cos her music's not Rock

Honestly I'm not so keen about another English covers album but I'm very interested to hear BENI's English cover of Fukuyama Masaharu's Kazoku ni Narou yo

I guess it's better than no new release cos at this rate , COVERS THE CITY might be BENI's only other new release , aside from Mienai Start

Quite a pity that BENI will not be releasing any other theme concept albums aside from Shiki Uta summer :x

Finally something new! Wasn't quite expecting another cover album, but 海の声 sounds quite refreshing. The cover looks good but at the same time quite cheap... I'm glad she gets to release new music though.

I'm also glad we get something new, since I didn't like Mienai Start I hope this album contains something for me. I already enjoy the preview song, so that's good.

According to https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000144108 , BENI sang the English cover of Kenta Kiritani's Umi no Koe yesterday for the 1st time during the encore segment of BENI Live House Tour 2017 “HOTEL BENI”

It's where BENI also announced news on COVERS THE CITY . All the English covers in COVERS THE CITY will be songs that were originally sung by male artistes which's the same format that BENI used for her 1st 3 English covers albums

Last date of BENI Live House Tour 2017 “HOTEL BENI” will be held on Christmas Eve at Okinawa ie. where BENI was born

Well, nice to see her release something again, but I also think it's a pity BENI clearly won't be releasing any more concept albums. Shiki Uta summer was so good, and it was nice to have new and original songs mixed with the covers. I'm not thrilled about another cover album of songs translated into English, I tend to find the English lyrics a little clunky and lacking in hooks. Umi no Koe sounds pretty nice, I hope the other covers turn out good. But BENI, girl... out of all the Sakanaction songs in existence... you choose to cover Shintakarajima? Ok...

I wonder why she only picks male artists, has she ever explained why? There are so many classic songs from female singers I can see her doing.

The new song preview does nothing for me, generic instrumental and her voice is too bland :( Hope there are more songs with more energy in this album, after all it's summer!
