CAT’S EYEBENI

Some of you might feel a sense of nostalgia.

BENI, a female singer from Okinawa, performs this song that became a huge hit as the theme for the anime Cat’s Eye.

It’s included on her 2015 single “Forever.” Arranged as a mature dance number, it really highlights its cool vibe.

Since it’s a song everyone knows, it could go over well if you use it for a dance performance.

This song is included on BENI’s sixth original album, “Jewel,” released in 2010.

The lyrics were written by BENI herself, and it’s a positive, smile-inducing track that feels like it sweeps away the worries and struggles we experience in everyday life.

Never Again… feat. Dōji-TBENI

The original song is “Mou Ichido…

feat.

BENI” by Dohzi-T.

Although answer songs are often released some time after the initial song, this one was released six months after “Mou Ichido…

feat.

BENI.” The two form a pair—you could say listening to both enhances their appeal.

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!

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.
