Koi Kagarete is the third single from BENI and was released on June 10, 2009.

“Koi Kagarete” is BENI’s first mid-tempo track and it sure delivers! This track is very acoustic based as Mou Nido to… was. This really is the best of her A-sides because her vocals are truly superb and this track is very endearing, charming, and well crafted. It adds an R&B flavor adding many beats and claps and snaps and keeps the pop ballad equation by not adding too much and letting BENI sing. This makes me more excited for her album! On a side note… the beat reminds me of “Sexy Love” by N-Yo. Just throwing it out there…

Two B-sides this time!!! The first is “CRUISE the WORLD.” This is BENI’s first danceable track BENI’s vocals are vocoded a little bit and this track has blaring synth and thumping beats. The usual formula. But this track is infectious and addicting as compared to a few of, let’s say, Yuna Ito’s upbeat tracks from early in her career. But I digress…

The 2nd B-side is “FOREVER 21.” This song sounds like a mix of Yuna Ito and Koda Kumi. Here’s why… It has a similar flavor to a lot of Koda’s sugary pop songs with an R&B flair, but the vocals remind me of Yuna’s singing style. These two degrees make for a sweet, light-hearted track. It’s not any bit showstopping, but its a pleasant laid back listen.
