Starting in October, Beni is a regular on a program called 英語の達人, which started on the 6th. (Source = Beni's Official Site)

It's nice to see that she'll be appearing regularly on something...let's just hope she can get her music career out of the toilet, because she does have a wonderful voice...

beni has her own tv programme?
cool

It seems that she's more focused on her schoolwork than her music career.....girl has a back plan lol! I hope Beni won't be dropped from Avex......she might get a little more star power in the near future which I hope will be soon! *crosses fingers*

Also since their good friends, isn't it about time for Crystal Kay and Beni to do a collabo???

OMG.

A collabo between them might make my heart burst. And my pants to become wet.

I know! Ugh, why can't the managers and producter and whoever see that?! XD Kuri is generally known now and with her, Beni can get popular for her music than just her looks.

we have a Beni thread o.o? my goodness where have I been !?

Yea, that's what I said! lol Someone was awesome enough to pull it back up! (^o^)v

Yeah, I decided to revive it. =] Some of the threads here don't get the attention they deserve, cuz they're not humping bottles or getting divorced from their husbands. =[ Haha jk.

^:roflmao Ain't that the truth!!!!

They should pair up Beni with an established Avex artist for a duet!
It's risky, but it's the best way to promote a lesser-known artist, I think.
I think Beni's 3rd album was her best so far, but her music just gets no promotion.

I agree with you Marty, her 3rd album was awesome for me, I was really disappointed by the lack of good reception in terms of sales and promotion.

After she finishes her studies, hopefully she'll have more time to spend on her music career, should she choose to continue it.

If she is able to do a collaboration with a well-established artist, I think it would help her immensely, and hopefully turn out well. (I remember when BoA and Kumi Koda teamed up for "The Meaning of Peace" and I don't think Kumi was that popular back then)

Maybe Avex wants her to have more "sex-appeal" in order for her to get more promotion...>_>

Beni will release a new single in March. The title track, "BIG BANG" will be used as a theme for the American football TV relay program, "毎日甲子園ボウル (Koshien Bowl every day)" and will be performing it December 16th.

creds: another_truth @ JPM

Ew, BIG BANG. Oh well.

Released in March but performing it in December? No one is going to remember it by the time it comes out lol. I hope she goes on shows again in March for promotion. The title sounds like it might be a more upbeat song rather than a ballad.

Well, at least Beni's releasing something! :)

That's true...still, I'd like to see a LITTLE more promotion. But early performance might mean early leak? =]

Ok this thread has been pretty much dead for a month. lol, I didn't know there was a Beni thread.

I'm currently listening to "Mellow Parade" and it sounds so relaxing at its moments and is wonderful!! - I wish it was a single so I could buy it!
