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.

BONNIE PINK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
寂しいのになぜ素直に泣けないの
あきらめたあなたの
ため息をたぐり寄せる
I wish you had stayed here for 5 more minutes
I was about to say "I forgive you"
I wish you had stayed here for 5 more minutes
二人だけの言葉 持て余して泣いた
あなたが居ないと思い出は嘘になるの
止まったままの時計
少しだけ巻き戻して
I wish you had stayed here for 5 more minutes
I was about to say "I forgive you"
I wish you had stayed here for 5 more minutes
I was about to say "I forgive you"
この街で出会い
二人で育てた何万時間を
たった5分で棒に振るなんて
バカな話でしょ
I wish you had stayed here for 5 more minutes
I was about to say "I forgive you"
I wish you had stayed here for another 5 more minutes
I was about to say "I forgive you"
The first verse of the song talks about the singer's loneliness and their inability to cry despite feeling sad. They observe a cat and a dog fighting but find it amusing. They then think about their resigned partner who lets out a sigh, perhaps indicating the end of a relationship. The second verse talks about how the two of them had words that they couldn't express and the singer cries when they think about it. They wonder if their memories will turn into lies without the person they shared them with. There is a stopped clock that the singer wants to rewind just a bit, hoping for a few more moments.
The chorus repeats the same lines about wishing their partner stayed for 5 more minutes so that they could say they forgive them. In the final verse, the singer mentions the countless hours they spent together nurturing their relationship in this town. They lament how all those hours could be wiped away in just 5 minutes, and how foolish it is to throw everything away.
As a whole, the song seems to be about the singer's regret and longing for more time with their partner. It touches on themes of forgiveness and loss and the bittersweet feeling of wanting something that is already gone.
