Beni Arashiro New Single Information!

6th Single - Title TBA at a later date.
AVCD-30862　¥1050(tax in)
Anime "Eye Shield 21" Ending Theme song!
Release date: December 7, 2005

I hope this single includes "Flash Flash," because I doubt that song is appropriate for an anime ending theme song. Therefore the title track of this single will probably be completely new! I'll post more here as I get more information on the single.

i would like info on Benny this will be my first single i will buying of hers i want to check her out people keep talking about her only hit song lol. Here Alone i think i wish someone would upload her stuff so i can preview her and i think a couple of others would like that also!!!

[Mirai Noah]

Ooo cool! Thanks for the info!

[DarkAyumi]

Thanks a lot for the info, man. I've always liked her stuff, looking forward to this.

[Annabelle]

The single's tie-in with an anime will surely help out her sales. Will she finally reach 50 000 copies with this single?

[HvnSntGurl]

Nice to se they haven't forgotten about her.

[marty518]

Beni's last single sold less than 5,000 copies even though it was the image song of her last campaign with Visée. Most artists would get dropped immediately with sales like that! If I could afford 100 copies, I'd do it, but I can only afford 1 copy of her singles... I just want her to do well! For some reason, I just really love her songs.
I agree some songs have been boring, but "Flash Flash" is really great! It's better than "Here Alone," I think! Very R&B style but better!

I think most of Aiko Kayo (my favorite avex artist <3)'s singles have sold less than 5k, too, and she's still going strong. She's got 8 singles out so far, and a PV collection. She's supposed to release a new single in January, too.

I think avex'll keep Beni around for a while.

That's good! I think Avex has hundreds of artists, so they can't all top the charts. I'm sure Beni brings in profits from her advertisements with Glico and Kosé, her radio show, and her work on the Japanese version of "Kim Possible" so her singles are just a small part of all the work she does!

[Calico]

Oooh...Beni! I've only heard a couple of songs by her on the radio that were pretty good, and I have her Hikari no Kazu Dake Glamorous PV. I can't wait to hear more by her.

The new single is up for preorder at YesAsia.com and PlayAsia.com!

According to the description at Yes Asia, it's going to be a pop tune that is easy to hum along with. The c/w is going to be a cover song. So no "Flash Flash"? Maybe on her next album it will be included.

I tried begging all my Japanese friends to buy "Flash Flash" for me on Japanese iTunes. I even offered to pay them $5 for the one song, even though they'd only have to pay just over $1! But no one would do it for me
Too bad... hopefully she releases an album soon and includes that song on it.

[drewbilation]

All of Beni's singles have had 2 b-sides so far, haven't they? 'Flash Flash' could still show up on the single.

Also, I just watched the Kose Visee commercial with the song in it, it's not too bad.

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

And usually one of the b-sides is a cover anyways, so you do have a good chance of "Flash Flash" being on there.

I hope this'll be good, I do want to like her material more as I like her voice.

[AyuGAME]

i want to hear more from her
but one thing for sure her song is really boring
for 2 or 3 times its ok
but after that the song..is not ok anymore
just here alone that can stand still
i hope her next song is d bomb

No "Flash Flash" :'( I'm so sad! But oh well... Please support Beni with buying this single! She needs the support after "Hikari no Kazu dake Glamorous," which barely sold 5,000 copies.

I like the cover! If I had money, I'd buy single...

^ Ooo... I like the last two pics the best!

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

Nice cover. I like it better than the close face shots.

[miracleofsuzaku]

Beni Arashiro must be one of Japan's most underrated artists. I love her "Beni" album. My favorite song is "Here Alone" and "Infinite". I think Avex should stop playing favortism and start doing more promotions for her and other underrated Avex artists.
Well anyway, it's really nice to hear that she's releasing a new single!
