Beni Arashiro drops last name for new single

Singer Beni Arashiro is reinventing herself under a new name: BENI. She will once again be focusing on her music career, after months of silence, starting with a new single next month.

Arashiro left her previous management agency, Oscar Promotion, at the end of August, and her contract with Avex expired at the end of September. She has now signed with Universal Music, and her first single as BENI will be released on December 10.

Titled “Mou Nidoto...,” the ballad is a follow-up to DOHZI-T’s “Mou Ichido... feat. BENI” that was released in June. While Arashiro was a guest artist on that song, she hasn’t released a single of her own since February 2007.

“Mou Nidoto” will start selling as a chaku-uta on November 12.
