History
Bonnie Pink debuted in 1995 with her single, Orange, under her real name, Asada Kaori. Her first album, Blue Jam, was released that same year under the Pony Canyon record label. She described it as a “mixture of bitter honey, blues music, momentary silence, irresistible madness, teardrops, sourgrapes, hopeful bombs, big big love, and a few green apples” in the jacket. It introduced her unique style of music that has been defined as an off-beat mix between jazz, blues, pop, and rock. The next year she met Tore Johansson, Swedish producer for the Cardigans, who became her good friend and produced much of her work. She wrote her third album, Evil and Flowers (1998), while in isolation in the Swedish countryside. She hoped to find inspiration there, but became depressed. She put her feelings of frustration into the songs.

On her fourth album, Let Go, she worked with Mitchell Froom, New York producer of Elvis Costello, Cibo Matto, and Suzanne Vega. He gave her co-production credit for the album because he was so impressed with her. Her fifth album, Just a Girl, came out in 2001. The next year she collaborated with other artists and released re*PINK, a remix album. Present came in 2003 and Even So in 2004. Golden Tears, which features the single "So Wonderful," came out in 2005. Bonnie released a new single "Love is Bubble" in May 2006. Her June 2006 single "A Perfect Sky," featured in an Anessa makeup commercial with popular model Yuri Ebihara, reached number 3 on the Oricon singles charts, making it the most successful single in Bonnie Pink's career. Her new "Best of..." album sold out quickly at Amazon Japan and reached number two on the Oricon charts and continued to chart in the top 30. In November 2006, she was featured in m-flo's single "Love Song." The single was a hit for both m-flo and Bonnie Pink, it debuted at number 7 on the Oricon charts which is a big leap from m-flo's previous singles and Bonnie Pink now has another top 10 single.

The name Bonnie Pink has a debatable origin. The popular belief is that Bonnie derives from the story of Bonnie and Clyde and Pink is because the color of her hair was pink during her first few years as a performer. However, she has made several references in interviews and in her lyrics that she does not want to be known as a 'good girl'. That might indicate that the name comes from a character of a Martin Amis book, a prostitute of the same name, Bonnie Pink.

Her song "Cotton Candy" is being used as the ending theme for the anime Guyver:Bioboosted Armor 2005, and "Love is Bubble" is the theme song for the Japanese movie Memories of Matsuko (嫌われ松子の一生), which also casts her.

Taiwanese bubble tea chain ICE MONSTER(冰館) is offering a special "LOVE IS BUBBLE" collaboration drink called "Pao Pao"(泡泡) for a limited time. "Pao Pao" means "bubble(s)" in Chinese.
