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”.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
迷いこんだ風に君の匂いがした
I wanna know what you're doin'
Tell me now what you're feelin'
もどかしさは続く Everyday
あれほど見つめても
何回も Kiss しても
君のシルエットはでも
I don't wanna be without you
I can't breathe without you
なのにあの日突然 Far away
核心を避けあって
言えないよ好きだって
ケータイをまた切って何度目だろう
ため息を振り切って
抜け出したい To the light
Far across the distance
言葉よりもっと
確かなモノ繋がれ君へと
想いのまま宇宙も超えるなら
One-way の恋さえ淋しくないよね
どうか Give me one chance
雲ひとつない空もう躊躇しないから
君のシルエットをただ
祈るように描く
I want us to be together
Darlin' We'll get together
温めてよ胸の Deep inside
むだ話引きずって雰囲気が伝わって
黙り込む君だって気付いてるね
愛しさが漂って
隠せないよ Cryin' my heart
Far across the distance
言葉よりもっと
確かなモノ繋がれ君へと
永遠さえも見せてくれるなら
たった10秒の沈黙を許して
そして Send you my love
少しハニかみ僕も好きだよと
動いた君の口もと
想い描けば鮮やかなそのシルエット
Forevermore we're one
信じてもいいよね
そのセリフで世界も変えてよ
この空から君のいる空へ
動き出した運命の気流が
Far across the distance
言葉よりもっと
確かなモノ繋がれ君へと
想いのまま宇宙も超えるから
どんな夜も淋しくないよね
ずっと Send you my love
The lyrics of "Silhouette" by 安良城紅 paint a picture of longing and frustration in a relationship. The singer describes a clear blue sky seen through a window, where they catch a whiff of their loved one's scent carried by the wandering wind. They express their desire to understand what the person is going through and what they're feeling. The everyday frustrations continue, despite staring at each other and sharing kisses, as the loved one's silhouette remains unclear and vague.
The singer confesses that they don't want to be without the person, that they can't breathe without them. However, one day, the person suddenly becomes far away, avoiding the core of the issue and unable to say they love them. They repeatedly cut off their phone calls, and the singer sighs, wanting to break free and escape towards the light. Despite the distance, the singer feels that something stronger than words can connect them, and if they can surpass the boundaries of the universe, even a one-way love wouldn't feel lonely.
In the second verse, the singer declares that they no longer hesitate, even under a cloudless sky. They draw the silhouette of their loved one, praying for them to be together. They ask the person to warm their deep inside, acknowledging that they can sense the tension and silence between them. The singer can't hide the love that lingers and cries in their heart. They desire a connection that can show them eternity, even if it means allowing a ten-second silence. Ultimately, they express their love and send it to the person, believing that they are forever intertwined.
