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.
Mint
BONNIE PINK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate my nails today
Too many things to bring me down
No time to spare
No day to sail through
Too much of pressure in everyday life
But my memory is fresh like mint
You were always there for me
You filled a dint
And there I am, I can't even start my day
I guess
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Everything used to feel mint with you
I hate the joke
On meaningless TV shows
Too quiet are my favorite plants
There's no cup to fill up
Nobody to phone me up
Too much missing in my life
But my enemy sits still like King
Tells me what my weakness is
There's no fantasy for me to cling
Just a new day keeps coming at me
I guess
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Everything used to feel mint with you
One day I was listening to our song alone
And it didn't sound the same at all
My mint won't bloom without you
I guess
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
Everything used to feel mint with you
The lyrics of BONNIE PINK's song "Mint" express feelings of dissatisfaction with everyday life and the pressure it brings. The singer expresses frustration with herself, her appearance, and her surroundings, but also acknowledges the comforting presence of someone who used to make everything feel fresh and new. However, that person is no longer around, and the memory of their presence only serves to highlight the singer's current feelings of loneliness and isolation. The use of the word "mint" throughout the song evokes a sense of freshness and vitality that is no longer present in the singer's life.
The repetition of the phrase "nothing-else mattered when you were around" emphasizes the importance of this absent person, and suggests that their presence had a transformative effect on the singer's life. The line "my mint won't bloom without you" expresses the idea that the singer's life lacks vibrancy and vitality in the absence of this person. The song as a whole portrays the difficulty of navigating everyday life without meaningful connections and relationships, and the sense of emptiness that can result from their absence.

I hate my hair,
I feel dissatisfied with my appearance
I hate my nails today
I am unhappy with myself
Too many things to bring me down
There are many issues affecting me negatively
No time to spare
I don't have any extra time
No day to sail through
Every day is difficult and requires effort
Too much of pressure in everyday life
I am constantly under stress
But my memory is fresh like mint
I still remember you clearly and fondly
You were always there for me
You were a constant source of support
On any rainy day
Even when things were difficult
You filled a dint
You helped me overcome my struggles
And there I am, I can't even start my day
I feel overwhelmed and unable to begin my daily tasks
I guess
I realize
Nothing-else mattered when you were around
You made everything else seem unimportant when you were with me
Everything used to feel mint with you
Being with you made everything feel fresh and new
I hate the joke
I am tired of jokes that are not meaningful
On meaningless TV shows
I find many TV shows to be empty and unimportant
Too quiet are my favorite plants
Even my favorite things are not enough to bring me peace
There's no cup to fill up
I have nothing to fill me up emotionally
Nobody to phone me up
I feel lonely and without friends or companionship
Too much missing in my life
I feel like I am missing important parts of my life
But my enemy sits still like King
My problems seem to hold power over me
Tells me what my weakness is
I am aware of my personal flaws
There's no fantasy for me to cling
I have nothing to dream or hold on to
Just a new day keeps coming at me
Every day feels the same and I am stuck in this cycle
One day I was listening to our song alone
I was listening to the song we shared without you
And it didn't sound the same at all
The song lost its special feeling without you there
My mint won't bloom without you
Without you, my life feels dull and unremarkable
