She released three singles: Melty tale storage on March 26, Ameagari no Hana yo Sake (雨上がりの花よ咲け) on August 6, and Paradise Lost on November 5, which was her first song used as an anime theme (喰霊-零-/Ga-rei zero). Her second album, Parade, released November 26.
In 2009, she had her 2nd tour with 10 venues. Her 6th single, Tomorrow's Chance, released June 3. She will hold her first outdoor live, "SUMMER CAMP", on August 1&2.

Her official fanclub is called minori smile seasons.
君がくれたあの日
茅原実里 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
やがて時は痛みを流して
君の約束さえ消える Aquarius
足音がふたりをつなぐ
でも心だけほどけてく 夢の絆から
戻りたい 戻れるはずと Callin'
奇跡は起こらない It's my destiny
「ごめんね」聞こえないわ
わたしはどこ？
涙でにじむ空には思い出ゆれる
君がくれたあの日 どこにも見えなくなった
胸は熱いままに愛を語ったのに
遠く遠く 遠く届かないなんて嘘よ
それでも少しだけ笑顔になりたいと
振り向いた私に見えた
違う輝きの未来が・・・
階段で黙って向き合えば
深まった闇色に 寂しさ重なる
話してよ 話がしたい Waitin'
黙ってうつむいた You can leave me
友だちなんて無理よ
残酷だわ
月が照らす横顔は変わらないのに
ずっと同じ願い 思い続けたせいで
いつのまにか君の自由奪ってたの？
同じ同じ 場所がお互いの中にあると
大事だから気持ち確かめてたかった
言い訳みたいでヘンだね
好きに理由などいらないよ・・・
気がついたのは
やがて今の痛みを流す 希望生まれる
気がついたのよ
約束さえ消えてしまうと それも始まりだと
君がくれたあの日 どこにも見えなくなった
胸は熱いままに愛を語ったのに
遠く遠く 遠く届かないもう届かない
それでも少しだけ笑顔になりたくて
振り向いた私最後に
祈りを込めたよ明日への・・・
The lyrics of this song describe the pain of losing someone whom the singer cared about deeply. They talk about how time slowly heals the pain, but even the memories of the person slowly begin to fade away. The lyrics also depict the tug of war between the singer's feelings of wanting to move on and return to their dreams and the call of the past to come back to the time they spent with the person they cared about. The idea of Aquarius is also present in the song, which symbolizes the idea of a new start and rebirth. The singer recognizes that even though the promises made with that person are now gone, they are not necessarily gone forever, but instead represent a new beginning.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's feelings while also capturing the essence of moving on after a heartbreak. The idea that the promises and memories might be gone, but the future holds something new and that hope is still alive is a powerful message. The song shows that even in heartbreak, one can still find hope and find a way forward. The imagery of Aquarius being related to the singer's fate makes this song all the more inspiring.

When I turned back for the last time
祈りを込めたよ明日への・・・
I put my wishes into tomorrow...
