She has sung ending themes for several Japanese anime: "It's gonna rain!" for Rurouni Kenshin, "Last Kiss" for Gantz, "Cotton Candy" for Guyver: Bioboosted Armor. "Love is Bubble" is used as the theme song for the Japanese movie Memories of Matsuko (嫌われ松子の一生), which also casts her. She also sings the song Kane wo Narashite for the Tales of Vesperia game by Namco Bandai, as well as recording Ring a Bell in English for the US/EU release. Although the tune is the same, they actually share different lyrics if translated.
BONNIE PINK is another of the multi-talented females doing it for themselves; not only a song-writer, she often takes part in the composing process and has proved to have talent in it. Her style is somewhat softer than singers such as Shiina Ringo, but her skill is no less evident. She also has a talent for singing in both English and Japanese with reasonable skill.

The song "1・2・3" by BONNIE PINK talks about cherishing the memories of being with someone special. The lyrics suggest how the singer has come across an individual who has become a familiar sight, with whom they can exchange meaningless acts and words, and still have the feeling that they are falling in love with each other. The chorus "1・2・3" suggests the singer's desire to make the best memories with that special someone, be happy together, and have an everlasting dream. The song also speaks about the irony of the fact that their love language involves hurt feelings and healing, and how they've nourished and blossomed their love.
The lyrics are quite poetic and showcase the feeling of cherishing happy memories with a loved one. The verses describe how even mundane moments in life become beautiful if they are shared with someone special. This song is a beautiful reminder of how simple moments can turn into happy memories with someone special.
