BENI gives surprise live performance in Tokyo



On May 23, female singer BENI (26) gave a surprise live performance at Shinjuku Station Square in Tokyo to commemorate the sale of over 200,000 copies of her first cover album ‘COVERS‘.

The album has 13 English translation covers of songs by male artists, including Fukuyama Masaharu’s (43) “Sakura Zaka.” For her surprise live performance, she did not sing any of the songs from the album, but she did sing an English cover for the first time of DA BUBBLEGUM BROTHERS’s song “WON’T BE LONG” with DA BUBBLEGUM BROTHERS member Bro.KONE (56).

Her father is American, and she sang fluently in English. Bro.KONE gave her strong praise, saying, “Your English is amazing isn’t it.” BENI laughed as she commented, “KONE-san is normally modest.”

I've never given BENI's music a try but I've heard so much about her lately that I'd like to. Can anyone give me a recommendation of what to listen to first?

Kiss Kiss Kiss was the 1st song & PV I've heard/seen of BENI & it has been almost 3 years that I've become a fan since then

I recently rediscovered stardust like last month...and it's definitely one of my favorites now.

I feel stupid for ignoring it before now lol

[KarenPang]

ahaha stardust is 1 of my fave tracks from Bitter & Sweet so xD

basically all the album tracks on there are winners & very single material worthy

[NintendoHTF1242]

Wow, COVERS is still in the top 10? Talk about selling power.
