From there she gained more public exposure; she released her debut single Level 42 in June 2004, which was featured on Saku Saku as its ending theme. Her debut album KAELA followed in December of the same year. Her fanbase grew considerably after her third single リルラ リルハ, which was used in a series of Vodafone commercials in Japan and made Kaela a household name.
Kaela's third studio album Scratch, released in February 2007, is her most successful so far, spending two consecutive weeks at number 1 on the Oricon charts and selling over 360,000 copies.
In 2009, Kaela released her fifth studio album, Hocus Pocus. Butterfly, a promotional song off the album, became Kaela's biggest hit. It was certified Million by the RIAJ in both ringtones and cellphone downloads, and Double Platinum in PC downloads.
In 2011, Kaela released her sixth studio album and first since her marriage to actor 瑛太 (Eita) and the birth of her first child, 8EIGHT8, which peaked atop the charts, making it her second album to do so, since Scratch.

ふりおとされずのっかってろ
大切な心 手に抱いて
いろんなものがくっついたら
形ができてつっぱってる
大切な心 プレゼント
ここから何をつかむやら
一体何をさがすやら
大切な心 手に抱いて
ふがいない 胸の鼓動
ほのめかせ
持って 生まれて
手にした宝物
回って 動いて
見失い消えそうになって
泣いて 笑って
こわれかけた そう 僕らだった
ふがいない ドキドキ鼓動
ほのめかせ ソワソワ鼓動
持って 生まれて
手にした宝物
回って 動いて
見失い 消えそうになって
泣いて 笑って
こわれかけた僕らは
持って 生まれて
体にかざり込んだ
持って
開いて
