Invisible StartBENI

This is a song released by BENI in February 2017, used as a theme for a boat racing commercial.
It’s a classical piece based on Beethoven’s Piano Sonata “Pathétique,” featuring a collaboration with a full orchestra.
It expresses the strong will of boat racers standing on an invisible starting line, like a flame blazing within silence.
The song celebrates holding a small dream, gaining confidence by achieving it, and then striving toward a bigger dream.
It reminds us not to dwell on the past and to focus on what needs to be done now.
It’s recommended not only for those pursuing their dreams, but also for anyone looking to start something new!

Released in 2010 as BENI’s 17th single, this happy wedding song overflows with lyrics capturing the feelings of a bride and groom as they step toward a bright future.

A happy tune that symbolizes singer BENI’s kick-off to 2020.

eternityBENI

At the time of her debut, she performed under her real name, Beni Arashiro, but changed her stage name to BENI in November 2008 after switching record labels.
This is her 22nd single, released on January 25, 2012, and it served as the theme song for the NHK drama “Honjitsu wa Taian Nari.” It’s a wonderful track featuring her beautiful, expansive vocals.
Summer MemoriesBENI

BENI is an artist known for her English-language cover songs, and among them, while it’s not an Okinawan song, Ketsumeishi’s “Natsu no Omoide” fits perfectly with Okinawa’s sea and climate.
The English cover makes it stand out even more stylishly.
It’s an ideal track for Okinawa, which is lively even at night.
