~minku no kobeya: kuraki mai~

♪倉木麻衣♪
One of my most favorite singers and celebrated her 10th anniversary in 2009… She debuted with “Love,Day After Tomorrow” in 1999, which gained immediate popularity and was a great hit. Many of her songs continue to be used in TV programs and she has also done quite a bit of OP and ED songs for Meitantei Conan (Detective Conan), one of the most popular and long-running animes in Japan. I believe she is about four years older than me? She did graduate from a well-known Japanese university (although I forgot which one). She writes most of her lyrics on her own, if not all, like many other popular singers and also have a few cds out in the US as well. Although there was a huge controversy between her and Utada Hikaru (the media saw Kuraki Mai as a copy-cat of Utada), I believe Kuraki Mai is so much better! Sorry Utada fans….

I recently bought all the previous singles/albums and I even pre-order new ones so that I can get them asap. ^^;;

ALBUMS

Albums are organized in the order it came out. I don’t have her album, “Wish You the Best” listed because its basically the artist’s “best album” which features her previous hits only with no new songs added.

SINGLES

Singles will be organized in the order they were released, from her 1999 debut to now.
