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”.
Gems
安良城紅 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どうか巧く笑えるように
寝不足の朝も駆け足の夜も
壊れそうな my heart 隠してた
Billboard の私
うれしいのに涙が出たり
だれかが囁く
Express your true heart
Like a fast train 時も
今なら心の宝石とわかる
言い訳を並べて投げ出しそうな日も
光が明日をまた照らすから
I'll go on
あこがれた夢に届いたら
次の場所へ運ばれて行く
ひとりになりたくてだけど淋しくて
街で部屋で迷子になる
Backstage でほんとは
いつも不安に震えてた
自分に誓うの
Express my own love
Like a heavy rain 過ぎた
Like a fast train 時は
傷さえ愛しい宝石を抱いて
歌い続けるのもう諦めないの
あの日の私に胸張れるよう
I'll go on
Like a heavy rain 泣いた
Like a fast train 時も
今なら心の宝石とわかる
ちっぽけな悩みと笑われていいの
逃げずにいたから強くいられる
Like a heavy rain 過ぎた
Like a fast train 時は
傷さえ愛しい宝石を抱いて
歌い続けるのもう諦めないの
あの日の私に胸張れるよう
I'll go on
The lyrics of "Gems" by 安良城紅 convey a message of resilience and self-discovery. The first verse talks about looking beyond the present moment and striving to find a reason to smile. Whether it's facing sleepless mornings or hectic nights, the singer has been hiding their fragile heart. They feel like a billboard, displaying happiness but occasionally shedding tears. Someone whispers to them, encouraging them to express their true emotions, just like heavy rain that brings relief and a fast train that moves through time. In the present, they finally understand that their own feelings are precious gems, and even on days when they feel like giving up, the light will continue to shine on their future, and they will keep going.
In the second verse, the lyrics depict the desire to reach a dream and move to the next place. The singer longs for solitude but feels lonely, getting lost in the city and their own room. Backstage, where they are truly themselves, they are constantly trembling with anxiety. They make a promise to express their own love, just like heavy rain that has passed and a fast train that moves through time. They embrace the precious gems of their own wounds and continue to sing, refusing to give up. They want to be proud of themselves, just like the person they were on that day.
The chorus reinforces the idea that both tears and fleeting moments are now recognized as gems within the singer's heart. They no longer need to be ashamed of their petty worries, as facing them instead of running away has made them stronger. Heavy rain and fast train become symbols of the growth and understanding the singer has gained. They still embrace the precious gems of their scars and will continue to sing, never giving up. They want to be able to look back at the person they were on that day and feel proud.
In conclusion, "Gems" is a song about finding strength and self-acceptance in one's emotions and experiences. It encourages expressing true feelings and understanding that even the smallest worries can be valuable lessons. The singer embraces both the joys and pains of life as precious gems and vows to continue on their journey, never giving up and feeling proud of who they are.

あなたをこの腕の中に 抱きしめていられるのなら
大事なもの全部集めて神様に差し出してかまわない
鏡に見た歪んだ顔 こうして生きているんだと
あなたに映ってる 僕という恋人は
理想なんかじゃなく 弱さで…
揺れないで心よ そんなに強くない
あなたを信じて 笑っているのはつらい
僕からゆっくり 消えてしまえばいい
ここから 何も生まれないのなら
何だって僕が 選ぶものはいつも
早く魔法がとけて しまうのだろう
迷子になった想い出を 宝箱にしまうように あなたをひとつひとつ 僕から剥ぎ取って
鍵をかけてしまおう
耳に馴染んだその声を こうして忘れてゆくのは
本当の願いでも 素晴らしい愛でもなく
僕であることの 叫びで…
泣かないで心よ そんなに弱くない
誰かを信じて 笑ってみるのもいい
それでも もしもまた 恋をあきらめたら
今度は 僕が愛になればいい
何だって明日が 描く物語に
永遠はいつまでも 来ないのだろう
愛せる強さが欲しい
言葉ほど うまくいかない
揺れないで心よ そんなに強くない
あなたを信じて 笑っているのはつらい
僕からゆっくり 消えてしまえばいい
ここから 何も生まれないのなら
何だって僕が 選ぶものはいつも
早く魔法がとけて しまうのだろう
