yeah position 16 is not bad at all...
her best album with avex even not make it to top 20

I kind of like the song. It's not dead-catchy or anything like that, but it's nice. :)

I really like this song too, it's very simple but cute and sweet. She deserves a top 20 single!

It's much much better than her avex works. :yes

The single is great, the only thing that bugs me if her emotionless vocals lol.

16 is pretty good. Hopefully we'll see her perform this song live.

That would really be wonderful! I think she sings beautifully in this song.

she's on MUSIC JAPAN with ayumi next week, i think.

Oh wow! That's great. I wonder if we'll find out how well the single is selling digitally, or as ringtones.

GD WORK Beni

but ? how many copies sales she got in first week

^ *20 **6,744 BENI :)

also:

koregaboku @ jpm

^wow...beni doin good with her coming back single...
i love this single...STAY is really good song...

Thank you for telling me. I'll be sure to download that episode next week.

Hmm her sales aren't too bad...I hope it doesn't drop off the charts too fast.

She came in at #41 this week, with 2,621 copies sold, bringing her 2 week total to 9,365 copies sold. That's not too bad, she'll easily break 10k and hopefully her next single can sell a bit more!

Isn't she recording a new single or something? That's what I heard.

UPDATE: She's working on her 2nd single right now. (under Universal Music)

Maybe if we are lucky, there will be some announcement this month about it. ^^ It feels like it's been so long since her 1st single w/ Universal Music, but was only 2 months ago. o_O...

thank goodness, craving for more of beni

I hope her 2nd single is going to be good, whenever she releases it. ^^

And wow, this thread was first created more than 3 years ago... wish more BENI fans would post here to keep it alive and active! :)

At least there's something new for now. I get this feeling we'll get some new single announcement sooner or later. ^^

Hmm, we'll probably know more by the end of the month. At least we're getting a new single soon.

Sorry for the double post, but here's more info:

Biore Body Deli Press Release:

http://www.kao.co.jp/corp/news/2009/...0119-02bc.html

it's basically a line of body wash aimed at women 20~30 years old.
It's going to start going on sale on 2/21/2009.
Since Beni's CM starts in March, we can assume that she's the first person to even promote "Body Deli".

I also wanted to share something I found on youtube - someone who has uploaded A LOT of Beni videos:

Kiss Kiss Kiss sounds awesome!!! I am really excited for this single ~

BENI collaborates with brand FOREVER 21. she will sing an original song, "FOREVER 21" in commemoration of the first Japan shop opening. streaming version will be avaliable via the official FOREVER 21 site on 4/21.

I loooove the preview! I cannot wait for all these new songs. I've been starved for some new BENI for a while!

Universal Music Japan has uploaded two new BENI PV's on their youtube account:


Kiss Kiss Kiss:

Superstar:

I heard Kiss Kiss Kiss in the radio at karaoke 2 days ago =)

Both songs are AWESOME!!! I am so excited for Beni's new single ~

wow...its already out, will check it out now

I keep humming "Kiss kiss kiss" to myself all day, I really like her new style, it's catchy but not too in-your-face, it's fun and relaxing at the same time.

the song is catchy, sony really did a good job on beni

it's actually UNIVERSAL J, not sony :yes

Someone uploaded the song "Finally" on JPM, so here it is:



If someone can make a MF or Sharebee mirror, I would appreciate it, as my computer isn't always able to download MU links. :/

Of course!

http://www.mediafire.com/?jyf0dfwfhma

Thanks! I can't wait to hear it. :)

Also, I can't wait when the new single is released! ^^

thanks for upload her new song

the song is awful, it sounded MUCH better from the preview. wow. :no

--------------

I can't believe it's been placed so high! Woah!

If everything goes right, it could be her highest charting single! She's never had a Top 10 hit, so this could be first.

And if anyone is interested, here is her previous singles chart rankings:

^ ooo, let's hope that she charts that high!

I doubt it...alan even ranked higher (in NINKI, which doesn't predict actual chart position at all), and she hasn't had a top 10 either...so yeah. I don't know how well this will do. Maybe if she has a lot of promotion, but as long as she gets in the top 20 I'll be happy =D

Kiss Kiss Kiss single is available in the downloads section now. :)

*goes there to download*.

The single debuted at #28 on the daily chart.

I hope she can at least be in Top 30 when the weekly chart comes out.

Yikes! I was hoping for top 20..so sad. Especially since alan got a top 10 debut. xD

Kissx3 is #23 today! :)


Natalie's Blog has some new pics of some event she attended:


http://natalie.mu/news/show/id/15234


Nice hair and dress, BENI! :)


------------


EDIT:

Oricon 3 day chart-run:

28 -> 23 -> 28

Phew, at least it's going up a bit. I have to admit though, "Mou nidoto" was a stronger single over all, I don't like this bside (Signal) as much as I liked "STAY" but still, it's a good single.

Signal is a mess!

the Mou Nido to... remix is nice though :yes

^ I agree, also with you, that Signal isn't really that good. :/

STAY is better than SIGNAL.

And in terms of A-side songs, I like Kiss x 3 more than Mou Nido To...

Day 4 ranking: #36


-- -- -- 28 23 28↓36　BENI 「Kiss Kiss Kiss」

Ouch, hope she picks up.

-- -- 28 23 28 36↓41　BENI 「Kiss Kiss Kiss」

Yikes! =[ I've been listening to the single all weekend too..boo

I just hope the single will hold steady until the weekly chart is released.

Anyways, BENI performed on Music Japan today! I think she performed Kissx3.

The full show is up for download on d-addicts: http://www.d-addicts.com/forum/viewtopic_73124.htm

It is a pretty big file, and I am unsure if I'm downloading it or not, lol.

She looks so pretty! <3

-- 28 23 28 36 41↑35　BENI 「Kiss Kiss Kiss」

Hmm...Wonder if she'll be in the top 30?

fan-net has listed a new single for BENI!
The release date is June 10th but the title is still unknown.

Wow, this is Good News!! Thanks megumi for the info.

I hope it's a double a-side! I don't think she's ever released one before. I just love double a-side singles, so that's why I hope it is, lol, haha.

Maybe she'll release an album in the Fall or Winter, that would be cool.

^ she said she wanted to release an album in the summer :yes

thanks for the news megumi, can't wait for it!

OMG!!! Yes, another single, and so soon. Then...hopefully an album ~

28 23 28 36 41 35↑28　BENI 「Kiss Kiss Kiss」


Weekly Chart:


40　*1,740　BENI

Blah o_O How did she get number 40?! She was in the top 30 for 4 days in the first week! =[ Oh well...

She's no longer in Top 50 in dailies chart today. :/

Guess it will keep falling now, since there's new singles being released.

well at least she's doing great digitally. she got a #1 for the weeklies there :yes

^ Oh really? That's good to know! :)

i believe after that single
she will release an album

^ Me too, and I hope so. :)

Yay 3 songs! This single is gonna be awesome I think ~

There's a new Orion CM and they added vocals to it! (as well on the 60 sec version of the CM and the NEW one)

http://www.orionbeer.co.jp/brand/sou...r/monitor.html

Click on the CM button, and there should be 3 buttons on the side to view the CM's.

The 60 second CM version has the vocals in it, and the new song is called "With You". :love

I love it!

She sure has a lot of songs she can put on her upcoming album, hehe.

Oooh, With You sounds great! :D

^ Pretty! :D

very much like kiss kiss kiss, it's okay i guess.

Her haircut looks not-so-good in that cover.

I guess I prefer her with longer hair. :/
