I really like her cover of I LOVE YOU <3 It's the 3rd cover I've heard but it's the 1st being sung in English

Also , BENI's cover of Ken Hirai's LAKuEN is awesome too *___*

I was eating at a Japanese Sushi & Hibachi place and they were playing Girl's Night by BENI. I wanted to find the person who was playing the music and give them some lovin'. They were playing some good J-Pop. Heard some miwa and Yuya Matsushita too

it's actually a sleeve (it comes folded down and you just pop it up to put the CD in it), just like Jewel's (hunted that one down for myself) I'm guessing tsutaya gave it away, since they seem to always have the best goodies that are impossible to get.

saw this one the other day, but darn if I am buying two copies of another covers album.

yeah I have a feeling it's Tsutaya that's giving away this alternate jacket sleeve as I don't recall other record stores doing that for her past albums

Guess this's doing anything it takes to keep sales afloat for BENI & I really like the slipcase cover that Tsutaya gave away for Fortune damn *___*

[GREVOL]

Wow! This pictures are so cool! so much better than covers 1. She looks so classy and beautiful! <3

[Delicious n Bold]

I have to admit that I love the packaging
Even though I found the album more stale than those two month old chips nobody in my house ate.
Oh yeah: beni looks hot on the cover.

Never thought I would see Jeff Miyahara's name on there :O he should do something with BENI for her original release , it will be amazing & oh that goes for Jin Nakamura too

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I LOVE YOU and Chiisana koi no uta are two of my favorite Japanese songs ever. And Cherry!

She needs to cover female singers next. Her choices are spot on.

[PoetGirl]

Im so proud of her

[setsuka]

I am really happy for her but I don't think I can get too excited for her new numbers she is pulling because they aren't her songs, I really wonder how her next original single and album will do

hopefully she strikes while the iron is hot and announces something soon

I do hope that with the surge of unexpected success she attained with what she did for COVERS & COVERS 2 will carry onwards to future original material of hers as she's really talented

Her music never really caught onto the general public but hopefully all that will change after the release of COVERS & COVERS 2

I still wonder over that double A-side single she was supposed to release way back in May til it get canned indefinitely , I hope that finally can get released soon

[Utena]

not a lot of pictures in the booklet this time, but I scanned my CD+DVD copy, will scan the CD only when I get it





guess they kept tons of pictures for COVER GIRL, which I'll scan whenever I get it as well!

[ayu_ready?]

thank you very much for the scans!

anyone has some new BENI magscans or there aren't any?
