"O'kay" and "Goodie Memories", released after this hiatus period, charted higher than Hinouchi's previous singles. Hinouchi went on to release two more singles in 2008 ("Ai Dake Ga" and "Kataomoi"), followed by her second, ME.... The album included collaborations with Ryohei, SOFFet, and MAKAI.
In 2009, Hinouchi was dropped by her record label, KING RECORDS. The label dropped her after her second album failed to sell enough copies. Two years later, she released the her first mini-album, VOICE, under an indie label.
After a 7-year break of no new releases, she announced via several social media platforms that she would be crowdfunding a new album, kizna. After the crowdfunding period ended in February of 2019, she went silent again for a while.
In May of 2019, she posted an announcement that she would be undergoing surgery for an ovarian tumor. As a result of her illness, she stated that she would be going on an indefinite hiatus from all activities to focus fully on her recovery.
In May of 2020, the first single for the crowdfunded album, a demo version of a new song called "Tekireiki" was released. 2021 saw two new digital singles, "Toi Toi Toi" and "HI BO CHU SHO", both released in July. Her next digital single, "Not Ever", was released in September of 2022, and was her first release under international label Alveda Music.
