She and Komuro became lovers, however, it was not meant to be, as much gossip surrounded the couple in the late 90s, including rumors of drug abuse and hard partying went rampant in Japanese tabloids. In 1999, she released her first non-TK produced album, "One Fine Day". She continued to release music, but she never quite reached the mainstream success she once had. During this period, she also made two adult photobooks (both of which sold quite well) and acted in musicals touring all over Japan.
In 2007, Tomomi was fired from her talent agency, who cited "unreliability" and "health problems" as main factors contributing to her leave. In January 2009, Kahala was hospitalized for tranquilizer abuse. As of 2010, it was unclear whether or not Tomomi will return to the music industry - however, Kahala made her return in 2012 with a much-talked about performance on Japanese television of her classic, "I'm proud". In 2013, she released her first single in seven years, a cover of the Les Misérables standard, "I Dreamed a Dream". It reached 13 on the Oricon charts, marking her first single to hit the top 20 in 9 years.

現実を逃げてる
このまま終われない荒ぶり
Keep yourself alive
こげつく想いを
ずっとずっと隠してた
Keep yourself alive
素直な自分を
Keep yourself alive
傷ついた羽を誰もいやせないまま
街中であつい仲間の苛立ち
勝手に進む人生に怯えてる
媚薬の様な夜ほとんどが雑誌の
マニュアルが教えてる
刺激が好き 快感が好き
欲望だけ 先に選んだ
Keep yourself alive
自分を守ってる
全てから守ってるどうして?
Keep yourself alive
進化することなんて
ほんとは全然恐くない
Keep yourself alive
とびきりの笑顔
正直な愛情を見せたい
Keep yourself alive
必ずどこかにたどりつきたくて
夜明けに震え動き出す世の中
何も関わらず生きている
法律も規則も名誉も何でも
若さに勝てない
疾風がそっと 通りぬけてく
誰かきっと 囁いている
Keep yourself alive
現実を逃げてる
このまま終われないあらぶれ
Keep yourself alive
こげつく想いを
ずっとずっと隠してた
Keep yourself alive
素直な自分を
どんなとき誰に見せるの?
Keep yourself alive
傷ついた羽を誰もいやせないまま
疾風がそっと 通りぬけてく
誰かきっと 囁いている
Keep yourself alive
自分を守ってる
全てから守ってるどうして?
Keep yourself alive

Keep yourself alive
とびきりの笑顔
