BENI HALL TOUR 2015 will take place on Nov - Dec

http://www.benibenibeni.com/newslist..._category_id=2

I like "Forever". Just perfect summer song and PV :)

I totally love the new PV. It's really summerish and fun to watch. She looks gorgeous as always ! The song is nice too.
I can't wait for a new album from her. It's been so long since Red :/

Forever (just the A-side) is already listed for sale via iTunes

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/fo...e/id1018215173

Such a fun song, I like it ^^

Forever is a nice song. Does someone know who is the other girl? I feel like I already saw her somewhere else.

The other lady in the Forever PV is comedian/actress Watanabe Naomi , Aurore

Watanabe Naomi is good friends with BENI in real life :)

Forever (just the A-side) has leaked

the song is fun...
the video is very fun...

Thanks.
She parodied Ayu, right?

Uh I think so but she also impersonated Beyonce lol

YesAsia's description of Forever

I find the new release boring

I love the song... one of her best so far

anyone knows the sales?

They uploaded the back cover of Forever :roflmao

And seems that a PV was actually made for BABY -> https://instagram.com/p/6GyY_uqXvI/

Full Forever PV has now been uploaded on YouTube



TATTOO is really nice

I would be very happy if BENI released more singles and songs like Tattoo.
because I haven't really liked anything from her since her Covers 3 album which still, I think, is boring.
but I guess Japanese public wouldn't like such a single as Tattoo

:no don't like forever, but the other two songs sound ok.

The only song I don't like is BABY. I find it boring for that moment.
Tattoo is really the gem of this single. ♥

At HMV Ikebukuro

https://twitter.com/HMV_Ikebukuro/st...92726170701824

I started listening to BENI's full singles from Sign onwards . Forever is rare in that there's no remix of her previous single Konayuki + she usually tends to have only 2 remixes in her singles (1 original 1 remix)

TATTOO is my favourite B-side out of the 3

At TSUTAYA Shibuya

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMbikTdUYAAj5Ne.jpg

Taken by a friend

not a bad single. I like forever and BABY. The other two I couldn't get too much into yet.

Forever charted at #80 in the 1st week of release

http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/338449/products/1139314/1/

eh. so bad.

that's sad, the single deserved much better :(

Not sure why she chose not to release 2 editions of Forever but having 1 edition of a BENI single doesn't help as Eien & Konayuki also charted quite poorly too :x

At least Satsuki Ame & OUR SKY did better (but still not that good) but Forever is really overlooked a lot :no

Sad :( but not surprised at all, forever was kinda... Awful. hopefully some tv promotion will happen.

Not so sure about TV promotion but BENI has been doing a lot of live performances in different festivals/events for this year

And since she's doing a hall tour in Autumn/Winter , probably before that she will release something new again . I will be surprised if it will be a new album though but I don't mind it either

I'm sure she's doing better on the digital charts. She was never a physical seller.

^She just stayed for a week in digital chart and now it's already out of top 50...the song not doing good on the digital chart as well.

Welp, at least in the end the song is kinda cute.

did she promote the song on TV or anything in the streets? might have helped.

I know there was a truck running in Shibuya a week before the release, but other than that, nah, no intense promotion. Besides the few festivals she's been part of that is.

BENI performed Forever on the latest episode of Premium MelodiX!

http://video.fc2.com/content/201508257N0ACnZp/

Her performance can be seen from the 20:24 min mark onwards . Her outfit & that weird knob in the centre of her hair is a bit o_O

WOW #80? I didn't expect #1 but damn...that sucks. I don't want her to join the ranks of Thelma Aoyama, Yuna Ito, and JASMINE. lol

Seems that BENI has 2 YouTube accounts

This's her 2nd one

https://www.youtube.com/user/BeniVEVO

And this YouTube account of hers also uploaded full PVs of her past singles (some not all)

I think this one's for foreign fans. Isn't BENI part of some Sony-related label that makes her first YouTube account restricted to Japanese audience?

BENI on the cover of the latest Oct issue of WOOFIN' magazine

Which was already released on sale 2 days ago

she looks good

BENI performed Forever in the latest MUSIC JAPAN episode

http://www.myvi.ru/watch/p1-1xcCwvkWBGY8RYtM6IA2

Her performance can be seen from the 25:14 min mark of the clip

^Thanks for sharing! I think she can never not be gorgeous.

BENI , Crystal Kay & May J. will be performing at GYAO! MUSIC LIVE Girls Party

GYAO! MUSIC LIVE Girls Party will take place on 24th Sept at Tokyo's Akasaka BLITZ

http://natalie.mu/music/news/158932

I wonder if it'll be updated regurlarly. Because i know another vevo that was created and was dropped quickly.

I think so cos the most recent video that was uploaded on her YouTube / Vevo account was the full version of her Forever PV

Awww Beni and CKay performing together...that's cute! I love that they're bffs! haha

6th album will be released on 25th Nov

More details tbc

Wow so far away :( still excited for the new album.

BENI will do a hall tour end of the year so I kinda expected a new album if not it's pointless for her to go on tour without promoting any new material

I'm excited for more new music from BENI , for sure & it's hard to believe it has been 2 years since Red was released :O

And on the other hand , looks like she's the latest 'victim' to catch onto DAIGO's latest habit in doing short form wordings judging from the captions she included in her latest Instagram posts -_-

New album, nice! Looking forward to it! Would be cool if she did more upbeat tracks, and even tried out some EDM... :D

I could see BENI doing some melodic dubstep but that would never happen lol

https://twitter.com/BENI_staff/statu...55045297745920

Please let it be news on an official new album confirmation :3

Hmmmm interesting title :P I am so ansious for new stuff from her, and I didnt like Forever that much...

Before the release of Undress + a end of the year to support it , BENI will perform at 2 concerts

BENI「BENI Premium LIVE」

2015年9月20日（日）Kyoto's Keihanna Plaza Main Hall

BENI 「LAWSON OKINAWA PRESENTS『BENI Premium LIVE 2015 in Okinawa』」

2015年10月3日（土）Okinawa's Music Town

http://www.benibenibeni.com/schedule...?category_id=1

I can't believe it has been almost 2 1/2 years since she released Red :dead

I don't know if Undress will be good as I assume Forever will be the only single song in it . I will be surprised if Konayuki will be included though

She's taking off that awful Red. A new era for Beni. Rise up Beni rise this is the beginning etc.

Whatever BENI is wearing is just weird but somehow she managed to carry it off

And the soles of her platform shoes are so high man o_O

According to BENI's latest Instagram picture , she performed at Kyoto today as part of BENI Premium LIVE 2015 in Keihanna & she debuted a new song that should be taken from Undress

E3 Oh Yeah

what a short setlist...

I don't think the setlist is short . BENI probably compensate that with MCs in between , depending on how long they're

Also BENI Premium LIVE 2015 in Keihanna was only attended by her fanclub members & Papa e sounds like something it might be included in Undress

Well if its a fan club tour, I guess it's ok. So happy she preformed red :)

BENI Special Live taking place later today at Kumamoto's Sojo University

https://instagram.com/p/76b0y3Mz-a/

1,500 people will be attending it which's based on a lucky draw balloting system

And for the setlist , I like most of the songs but I rather BENI start off with TATTOO & not Baby

I just have a funny feeling that she might include the PV to Baby in the Undress DVD as it's odd that they have not aired the Baby PV in full

BENI & Kumamon together

haha so cute!!

:luv2

oooh~ I like the covers they're simple and the natural look suits her very well

Simple covers for Undress , I like !

I hope they will announce the finalised tracklist soon , definitely will order it soon

The cover with her smiling is far superior!

I like the covers, I hope the music won't be boring, please

I love the covers. Feels stripped down from RED, so it's a fresh change.

Looks like those good quality instagram pictures ..

Damn.. so good.

BENI looks great in part 3 of the jacket shooting clip

So far everything has been better than Red. But can the music truly shine?

http://www.benibenibeni.com/newslist..._category_id=2

BENI × NYLON JAPAN collaboration WALL PAPER given away as an external bonus item while stocks last

The covers are ok for me. I feel that they could have done a better concept with such a title. Don't get me wrong she's beautiful and the photos are neat. But I'm not excited when I'm seing those covers, it's not something that will catch my attention in front of a cds display.

Rather short Undress jacket shooting clip Part 4 -> https://instagram.com/p/9Z4aAcMz9L/

So far , 2 new album tracks' titles have been confirmed which're BFF & PAPA

PAPA sounds nice & I think the chances for both BABY & TATTOO to be included in Undress is quite high

And the song that BENI provided for Francfranc last year for their Christmas campaign ie. Fun Fun Christmas will be included in the album as a bonus track z_z

And BENI's new hall tour that will take place in November + December in supporting Undress is titled BENI "Undress" LIVE TOUR 2015

I am liking the sound of this album!
It's a fresh sound for her, not something that's 100% relatable to other releases in her discography, yet still has that BENI charm.
Looking more forward to this release than before. Happy I pre-ordered when it first was posted.

I liked all the songs on the forever single so I hope the album will be good too. Excited for new BENI finally

PAPA has a PV made & the video will be released on 18th Nov
