[BENI] New single '2FACE' [2010.11.24], New album 'Jewel' [2010.12.08]. III.

[Nackar_91]

I'm really liking the album! Much better than Lovebox. Still not as amazing as Bitter & Sweet, but you can't beat perfection <3

Not perfection as in THE BEST ALBUM EVAAAARH but perfection as in to Beni's abilities and personal niche. Just felt the need to point that out.

[NintendoHTF1242]

Bitter & Sweet was obviously her magnum opus. Don't think she'll ever be able to out-do that.

[KarenPang]

this's mainly for Buce since he download stuff from asian nation like me 8D

They already uploaded Jewel in 128kpbs/mp3

Haha I love you Karen, thanks! ^.^ Hopefully I'll like it >.>

[KarenPang]

quite a lot of Jewel's album tracks are upbeat

so far the ones that stood out to me include

- Toki wo Tomete
- Lovin' U
- Heartbreaker
- Kimi to Nara

Kimi to Nara & Wasurenaide ne are really pretty *__*

[NintendoHTF1242]

Out of everything on the album, nothing stood out at all. What happened BENI!? Lovin' U is still a blatant rip-off of Gimme Gimme and the noise from bye bye is in Heartbreaker. It's actually really noticeable and reminds me too much of bye bye haha. I think it's time to experiment with new producers BENI. How about DAISHI DANCE? He'll do you wonders.

EDIT: I also hate how two of the songs on Jewel (one is Smile, the other I don't recall at the moment) both use that "build-up" sound that's in Yura Yura. That also seriously reminds me of Yura Yura.

EDIT2: OMG maybe I should've waited till I finished the album. Kimi to Nara is really good!

EDIT3: Spoke again too soon, Wasurenaide ne is pretty good to. Too bad she placed these so far in the back of the album.

I received Jewel earlier on as my christmas present 8D



I did scans of my copy -> http://www.mediafire.com/?7o8cuy8pu55w5qw

lol I still don't like her hair & let alone choice of outfits she wore in the CD sleeves of Jewel X_X but it's weird I like the huge diamond ring & her heels a lot more than BENI herself haha xD

Her signature's really cool though :O



There're 2 shots of her which's more or less the same outfit she wore for 2FACE ~_~





But you have to give credit to BENI for writing almost all the lyrics of the songs found in Jewel :O

[PoetGirl]

such a pretty booklet. I really like it. thnx for the scans, Im uploading some of the pics in her last fm profile. I credit you.

[x-megumi-x]

I'm taking the scans too. Thanks Karen!

thank you very much, now I can compare the +DVD booklet to see what's different when mine FINALLY comes, I hate HMV

although, her 2FACE outfit was completely different, it was another old lady lace get-up, but just a top.


still hate it, even if it didn't end up looking so bad on the cover.

[AyUta]

I LOVE the album. My favorite track is probably wasurenaide ne <3333

[CHE.R.RY]

Thanx for the scans Karen! Idk I still stand by my opinion that the album is not really anything special...Tbh, it doesn't sound that much better than Lovebox. The only songs I really like are Toki o Tomete and Daisuki na noni.

EDIT: Upon listening a little more I agree that Kimi to Nara and Wasurenaide ne are in fact really pretty songs.

[KarenPang]

you're welcome guys & yes I agree , Kimi no Nara & Wasurenaide ne are fantastic & so's Toki wo Tomete *___*

I think at most , the back cover of your CD + DVD copy of Jewel will be different while the CD sleeve booklet will be the same for both editions

I seldom see albums having different pics used in the booklet though even though there're exceptions like Hey ! Say ! JUMP's debut album JUMP NO.1 where the pics found in the booklet are totally different in the regular & limited pressing :O

[kakumei]

^ usually its just one or two different pics, but just about every artist I buy has different booklet pics.



night cruising from last week is up now as well - "Lovebox" Live Tour 2010
with Rouge de BENI

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Sadly, I don't really think any of the album tracks stand out to me...hm. Gotta give another listen.

[Kaiouforever]

Wow. This album is good - like, really good. I don't have to skip any of them! I'm so impressed and happy with BENI right now. Great job, and kudos <3

[kakumei]

found a BLENDA preview


oh my

[KarenPang]

omg *___*

Outfit >>>>>> on 2FACE & Jewel anytime of the day

that goes for the hairdo too <3

[NintendoHTF1242]

Ugh why couldn't her hair be like that for the Jewel covers?

[ストロボ・EdGE]

^ x2

I know! Her hair on JEWEL looks like the 90s threw up on her.
