Not sure if I'm right but I think the reason on why BENI chose to cover songs that male artistes originally sung is because she wants to sing the tracks from a female perspective

Since the original versions of songs were sung by males , BENI wants to do them the way the opposite gender perceive them as so . I don't know if I'm correct on this though

The album cover that's released for COVERS THE CITY is the CD only version

Preview snippets of the cover songs



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8OM7LEhqYM

BENI really likes Hirai Ken's songs cos this's the 3rd time she has covered a song from him

That said I look forward to hear BENI's rendition of Mahoutte Itte Ii Kana ? , Fukuyama Masaharu's Kazoku ni Narou yo , Saito Kazuyoshi's Zutto Suki Datta

Real surprised BENI has also covered Dohzi-T's Mou Ichido ... too

Sounds really good!!

恋音と雨空 and Nandemonaiya sound great.

Loving all the tracks but the first one, but I understand it's really difficult to pull off a sakanaction track.

It's a bit annoying that Got A Feeling & CANDY are only available on iTunes Japan but the music style fits COVERS THE CITY

That said the covers that BENI chose to work on this time round are a bit different . The 1 I feel it sounds out of place is BENI's take on is Fukuyama Masaharu's Kazoku ni Narou yo

BENI's own take on Hirai Ken's Mahoutte Itte Ii Kana? & Saito Kazuyoshi's Zutto Suki Datta are not bad

^ah nice. Can anyone help me to get tickets for the first date? How do I apply and how much is it?

Fanclub balloting for BENI “The Show” LIVE TOUR 2018 hasn't opened yet

Cost of BENI “The Show” LIVE TOUR 2018 ticket is ￥5,000 per piece & you have to pay another separate charge for a drink prior to entering the venue (probably ￥500 or ￥600 ?)

For general ticket balloting , it probably will start in June if not maybe next month

Alternatively you can buy tickets on the day of the concert but you're taking a risk for that & your ticket number wouldn't be that good

Tokyo Kinema Club can accommodate about 600 fans for a non seated concert

aaaaaaaaaaah i wanna gooooooo!!! is anyone here part of the fan club and going to the Nagoya date? haha

BENI's music is now listed on Spotify

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0b2f...T-2jFqD_vAODNQ

She's been on Spotify for a while already, but I wonder why they still don't have her material from before 2013 (at least in my region).

BEST All Singles ＆ Covers Hits is certified Gold for shipment of 100K copies

Wow , better late than never

I won two tickets to her tokyo date....

anyone knows how i get my ticket? it just says ticket type: combini (familymart) but they already charged my credit card

This means that you have to go Family Mart and request the staff to help you print the concert tickets on your behalf

My sister & her friend did that as they had to go Family Mart to get their tickets printed out for an anime event they attended a few months ago

You have to use a machine inside Family Mart and print a receipt . Then you have to bring the receipt to the Family Mart staff and request them to print the tickets on your behalf

My sister said that she had to pay 300 Yen to Family Mart as a processing fee . For the machine that's used to print the receipt , you need to know how to read Japanese if not you wouldn't know which receipt you need to print from it

I don't know if this procedure applies the same thing to BENI though :confused

Alternatively , you can also see this as a further guide - https://www.japanconcerttickets.com/...japan/#conbini

BENI will release a new song READY25 digitally on 12th July

READY25 will be used as a cheer relay song for the Yokohama DeNA Baystars baseball team

Tsutsugo Yoshitomo who plays for the Yokohama DeNA Baystars baseball team befriended BENI last year via a mutual acquaintance & Tsutsugo is the 1 that requested BENI to write a song for the baseball team he plays for

For starters , new song Chasin' feat. IO will be released digitally on 6th July and this song is described as a Jazz R&B no.

KANDYTOWN's IO is featured in Chasin' and KANDYTOWN's Neetz had a hand in producing Chasin'

The digital single cover for Chasin' was taken by THE TAXi FILMS that manages IO

I'm always really confused about BENI's marketing strategies. She releases singles and albums whenever she feels like without warning and tours like there's no tomorrow barely changing the setlists from one tour to another.

I wonder if it works for her

My feeling is that after BENI released BEST All Singles & Covers Hits , she probably signed another contract that was handled by another sub record label that Universal manages

I do admit that BENI's releases & her tour schedules have been quite unpredictable from Forever onwards . If not why up to now BENI didn't released another concept season theme EP after 2016's Shiki Uta summer

Shiki Uta summer EP didn't sell well which was a shame as I like the concept of it as it was something different

The up side is that at least for BENI's videos that're uploaded on YouTube and also her physical releases , there's no region code to worry about

I stopped listening to her stuff after Red, but this project of releasing a digital single per month could be interesting. I'm definitely going to check it out. Also, that cover for Chasin' is amazing.

BENI to release a new song for 4 consecutive months

Oh, I really like the sound of the preview, I hope the full song is going to live up to it!

Chasin' can now be purchased digitally from today onwards

Chasin' is alright but I'm not a fan of IO's vocals :s

Another thing about Chasin' is that the song gets quite repetitive after a while while some might not like it as it's quite slow sounding , I'm fine with this though

READY25 is now available for digital purchase
