BENI has revealed that she will be releasing her new single, "Satsuki Ame", on April 24th.

This will be BENI's first single in about a year and three months. Her last single, "Eien", was released back in January of 2012. The title track to this single is the first she wrote and composed independently.

Regarding the song, BENI stated, "It shows the feelings of a woman who is set on carrying through with things she has decided on no matter what happens." The track list has not been revealed at this time.

To coincide with this single's release, BENI has undergone an image change with a haircut. She commented on her short hair, saying, "My head feels light. It's simple and comfortable. I think it matches my personality." She continued, "As I will be starting my new activities with an original song in 2013, I wanted to change my hair to challenge myself with a fresh feeling."
