In late 2005 Enomoto released an indies single six months prior to her major debut called Yasashii Uta wo Utaitai. It was not until April 2006 when Enomoto would debut with the ballad-single Kokoro no Katachi. A month prior to this, Enomoto featued on the cover of music magazine BARFOUT!. She was the first artist to be featured on the cover who had not debuted yet. Three months later saw the release of a second single, Uchiage Hanabi.
Originally Enomoto's third single was planned to be a double A-side titled Aisubeki Hito / doubt, but this was later changed to RAINBOW DUST. Currently the song Doubt has not surfaced in her discography yet (unless the song was re-titled). RAINBOW DUST was used as the drama Sweets Dream's theme song (despite low ratings). The single debuted at #99 on Oricon singles charts, Enomoto's highest position yet.
Aisubeki Hito would be later released in March 2007. The song itself was one taken from Enomoto's indies single. After the single's release it was used in an online drama called Music + Drama. In May 2007, Enomoto will release her debut album NOTEBOOK 1 ~Mirai no Kioku~.
ぼくのうた
榎本くるみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
おうちへ帰ろうよ
大好きなママのごはん
もう出来てるかな
流した涙拭いて
おうちへ帰ろうよ
泣かずパパに言えたら
大人になって 仕事に就いて
帰り道迷ってた ぼくのうた
出会えたあなたの側で
力一杯今も歌ってます
悲しいことがあると
ひとり歌ってたあのうた
心のピアノで歌ったら
友達が出来たよ
あの日の僕は今も
音楽が大好きで
ギター弾けなかったけど
弾いてくれるトモといる
夢をしまって 損得で動いて
帰り道迷ってた ぼくのうた
出会えたあなたと一緒に
大きな声で今歌ってます
ララララ ラララララララ
いつまでもこの場所で
闘って 生き抜いて
ぼくのうた歌います
The lyrics to 榎本くるみ's song ぼくのうた (Boku no Uta) are a reflection of the artist's childhood memories and aspirations. The song begins with a light and playful tone, as the artist hears three crows cawing and decides it's time to go home to enjoy his mother's cooking. The song then takes a slightly more serious turn as the artist reflects on how he used to cry but his father would teach him songs to cheer him up. The artist then grows up and starts working, but he is still lost and searching for something.
The chorus of the song is a reflection of the artist's current state, singing about how he is still singing his song at full force, even now that he has found someone special to share his life with. The artist talks about how he used to sing alone and it was only when he started playing the piano that he was able to make friends. The artist then reflects on his younger self and how he still loves music, even though he couldn't play guitar.
The song ends with the artist singing about how he will continue to sing his song and fight for his dreams. Overall, the song is a reflection of the artist's journey, both past and present, and his love for music and the things that make life worth living.

ん？NHKみんなの歌に採用される歌かと思ったけど、長すぎるかな。4:23で終わるわけにはいかんかったのかな。くるみんの歌はすばらしいと思う歌がいくつもあるけど、この歌はなんだか、特に後半、悩む。表現や伝えることより自分自身と向き合い過ぎてるのかな。ある種の苦悩が垣間見れる気もする。それでも、こんなこと、あんなこと、そんなこと書かれても、自分が表現したいものを自分の納得のいくように、自分のペースで好きにやって欲しい。byたびと
