Beni showed off her dance skills and R&B taste with her second single, Infinite.... Her third single, Here Alone, quickly followed and was used as the outro for the TV ASAHI 45th Anniversary Special Drama, Kiyoharu Matsumoto’s [Kurokawa no Techo].
2005 was a good year for Beni. Her long-awaited debut album Beni was released in February, receiving acclaim for the variation in vocals ranging from R&B to drum n' bass and also ballads. In June, Beni released “Hikari no Kazu Dake Glamorous" which was played during a commercial she appeared in promoting KOSÉ's new [VISÉE] line of makeup. In the same month, she sang both the Japanese and American national anthems for the 43,000 people attending the halftime show of [NFL TOKYO 2005] at TOKYO DOME. Beni also actively participated in avex’s Summer Festival, [a-nation]. In December she released a new single, Cherish, which served as the theme song for the Japanese television show Music Fighter. The accompanying B-side was the third outro theme to the popular anime series Eyeshield 21.
During 2005, Beni also covered Christina Milian for the theme song of Disney’s popular animated series, [Kim Possible]. The music video will be promoted not only in the US, but also in 68 counties and 100 million families worldwide. At the 19th Japan Gold Disc Award Ceremony, Beni received the “Best New Artist of the Year” award. Nearly two years since her debut, this 19-year-old Sophia University student has already left an impact on the music industry and continues to work towards international recognition as a first-class artist and entertainer. Currently (as of spring 2006) Beni is the lead heroine in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Beautiful Game”.

抱いた未来の夢 Our Precious Kiss
明日からの日々を
生きてゆくために 強くなろう
駅へ向かうバス 雪が降り出した
霞む空 指に息をかける 冬にシンデレラ
今日あったことを早く話したい
背を張って歩く日々の中で 弱さを聞いて・・・
かすれ声が薬になるよ
落ち込んでて悲しい朝は
その一言が勇気に変わる
泣いた二人の声 Cherish your Kiss
抱いた未来の夢 Our Precious Kiss
雪はまるで花火
この想いをなくさない
咲いた真冬の花 Cherish your Kiss
ずっと記憶にある Our Precious Kiss
空港の人混み
息が止まるほどにキスしたね
私の中に孤独が眠る
涙の痕 愛した後 逢いたくて 街が滲んだ
たまに思うでしょう 生きている理由
そんな時いつも きみの声が聞きたくなるよ
くじけそうな時 背中押す笑顔
逢える日を待って 空を仰ぐ 風が囁く
きみのことを疑う夜は
本当はすぐ抱かれていたい
揺れる心 「愛している」と
魔法の言葉 今 飛ばしてみる・・・
泣いた二人の声 Cherish your Kiss
抱いた未来の夢 Our precious Kiss
同じ言葉言って
笑いあった部屋の中
もっと大事にしよう Cherish your Kiss
ずっと守る Our Precious Kiss
明日からの日々を
生きてゆくために 強くなろう・・・
