Beni Daniels (born March 30, 1986 in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan), is a Japanese-American R&B recording artist, who debuted in 2004 under the Avex Trax label under the name Beni Arashiro (安良城 紅, Arashiro Beni). In 2008, Arashiro left Avex Trax and transferred to Universal Music Japan where she started to perform under the mononym, Beni (stylized as BENI).
She was initially best known for her 2004 single "Here Alone," though later singles after her move to Universal (such as "Mō Ichi do..." with Dohzi-T, "Mō Nido to..." and "Kiss Kiss Kiss") have surpassed this.
Born in Okinawa she moved to California and then Yokohama. Her father is American of European descent, and her mother is Japanese. She was influenced by Namie Amuro, Alicia Keys and her father's favorite singer Janet Jackson. She graduated from Nile C. Kinnick High School in Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan. She majored in Sociology at Sophia University.
From a young age she wanted to become a singer and because of her musical parents she took up piano. Because her parents were living overseas she was traveling between Japan and America a lot which exposed her to both Japanese as well as overseas music. When she was in Japan she participated in the Kokuminteki Bishōjo Contest the largest talent contest. She made it all the way to the finals. This was quite special since she had no formal training. When her demotape was seen by Avex Trax they were so impressed by her clear voice, natural beauty, and English pronunciation that they decided to sign her to the label and prepare her for a debut. She became a member of Bishōjo Club 31. Beni was the first from the group to pursue a solo career while being active as a member of the group. Her first solo single named "Harmony" was released on June 9, 2004. The song "Harmony" was a theme song for the Japanese drama Reikan Bus Guide Jikenbo.

Genres: Family,It started on the long rout, because of the view
I wanted to drive and so did you
As we argued the first flakes of snow
Started to show
You began drinking at half past noon
enter the rounds of a drunken fool
Told my brother to get a wife
Even though you knew he just came out
And not in my wildest dreams could I ever concieve of
Spending time with you on christmas eve
You gave me a book on Italian cuisine
No matter how you try you never redeem
Yourself from the things that you put me through
If you only knew
We sat there in silence remembering all the fights
Watching the blinking christmas lights
And as I turned to you, I realised
that you had passed out
And not in my wildest dreams could I ever concieve of
Spending time with you on christmas eve
And not in a million years could I ever concieve of
Spending time with you on christmas eve
