Biography

There are more than one artist named Beni:
1. Beni, a DJ from Australia
2. BENI is a Japanese pop singer, currenly signed to the Universal Music Japan record label. She made her debut as a member of the defunct supergroup Bishoujo Club 31, and was the first member of the group to pursue a solo career while being an active member. In 2004, she debuted on the avex trax record label as Arashiro Beni (安良城紅). Her third single, “Here Alone” (the theme song to the dorama Kurokawa no Techou) became her most successful with the label, peaking at #14. In 2008, Arashiro moved from avex to her current label, changed her stage name to BENI and has seen a slight boost in popularity.

Arashiro Beni comes from a multi-cultural background. Her father is an American, while her mother is an Okinawan Japanese who lived in Miyakojima. Her parents were music lovers, who let her take dance and piano lessons from an early age. While Arashiro was born in Kanagawa, she lived out her childhood in California. When she was 12 she moved from California to Yokohama, and attended the American School in Japan. While there, she was classmates with Sony Japan-signed artist Crystal Kay and became close friends with her. Because of this, Arashiro is fluent in both English and Japanese.

    Satsukiame is just a generic ballad IMO Run Away is not a bad song,is just a very different that the other singles that she alredy release tbh...

    Satsukiame is a really good soulful ballad. Run Away is just... no.

    while I don't expect Satsuki Ame to slay the charts, I'm hoping it fares better than her last couple of singles! Considering the only people that seem to dominate the charts are AKB groups and JE, anything is better than #70-100 :(

    I hope BENI can capitalize on what she struck with COVERS and COVERS 2... she's extremely lucky to have fared so well the first time, second time's going well so far... but hopefully she can keep her new audience captivated now. It always makes me sad when they stumble afterward (alan after Kuon no Kawa, Hitomi Shimatani after Otoko Uta kinda bumped her back up again..)

    As a fairly new listener of j-pop I have to say I think she's one of my favorites. Very pretty voice, no matter what language.

    Lovers Again and チェリー are the best songs on Covers 2 imo. BENI now needs to release another original album and ride on this success she has got going atm.
