Tamaki's second album Make Progress (2005) topped the charts and spawned the single Fortune, used in the PS2 game !Radiata Stories. Its follow-up, Specialty (2006), which was another number one, included Sanctuary, used in the anime #Kiba, Castaway, featured in the video game !Super Robot Wars J, and Reason, yet another #Gundam single. In 2007 Tamaki graduated from high school, which she attended despite her musical involvements, and, marking this with the collection Graduation: Singles, launched into a big showbiz voyage. She expanded into musicals, starring in the Japanese adaptations of #High School Musical, and #Sweet Charity, where she landed the title role, and cinema, appearing in the movie #Lovely Complex based on the manga series of the same name. Music wasn't forgotten, either: her fourth album Don't Stay came in 2008, but, despite Brightdown's feature in #D.Gray-man and Cross Season's tie-in with a Japanese TV show, it only charted at a modest number 14, and was followed by Tamaki changing from Sony to Universal. She debuted on the new label with the single Give Me Up (2009), which was used in the remake of the anime #Yatterman; another new 2009 tune, Negai Hoshi, became featured in the Wii !RPG Acrise Fantasia. A remix best-of collection was released on the same day as Give Me Up. ~ Alexey Eremenko, Rovi
