Bennie K, a female duo unit, has announced that they will release a new song "FINALE" for the first time in 12 years. It was also reported that the song would be disbanded with the same song as the last song. BENNIE K is a music unit by vocalist YUKI and rapper CICO, and made a major debut in 2001 with the single "Melody". In 2005, "Dreamland", which was written as a CM song for Coca-Cola, became a big hit in the Oricon Top 10 for 7 consecutive weeks. Suddenly, he became an artist in the national district. However, in 2009, YUKI decided to concentrate on the producing business away from the vocalist, and started a new system called "BK Project". A single featuring the first artist, BECCA, was released, but the activities of the two were suspended. It is said that the record company has raised a plan to release a new song as BENNIE K for this single, and the recording has already been completed two years ago. On the official website, the members said, "After a certain period of rest, it was a wonderful opportunity to calmly look back on the past and face new song production from scratch. It was also an event that reminded me that it was difficult. " And, "BENNIE K is closing here, but I don't want to break up, and in the future, each other will be a special existence in each musical life (...) We have been so far. Thank you very much to all the Freaks who supported us! " The last single "FINALE" of the two will be delivered on December 1st.
