Born to a British father and Japanese mother, Kaela started work as a model in 2002 for the Japanese fashion magazine Seventeen. Her fresh look and personality took her on to present the popular morning television show Saku Saku.

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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Land" by Kimura Kaela are about the unpredictable and exciting nature of life and love. The first verse talks about unexpected events and emotions, represented by scribbles and an unsteady heart. The image of a cat statue washing its face suggests that even seemingly inanimate objects can be affected by the unpredictable nature of life. The chorus repeats "Let me know I'm in your side" as a plea for reassurance and stability in the midst of this unpredictability. The second verse describes a joyful email and the birth of a chick breaking out of its shell, symbolizing new beginnings and opportunities. The lyrics end with a repetition of the chorus and the image of being drawn into a mysterious wonderland.
