American single owner GK with American client, W-9 vs W-8BEN-E

I’m the sole owner of a GK and American citizen, and a large American client knows I’m American and sent me a W-8BEN-E to fill out.Is the W-8BEN-E correct since it is a Japanese LLC or since it is single owner and American, should I be submitting a W-9 instead?

I’m sorry if it is a dumb question. My understanding is “the IRS will allow taxpayers to “check the box” for GKs and therefore a GK can be a disregarded entity for US tax purposes “, so I’m confused and I just want to make sure i don’t mess it up.
