A Japanese singer whose 2008 anime breakthrough led to a catalog of dramatic, vocally demanding songs.
For a quick sense of her style, 'Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't Be Late' is the obvious place to start. 'Deep Breathing' from her debut album is the other one that really sticks.
When Macross Frontier needed an opening theme in 2008, May'n delivered 'Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't Be Late,' a track that became a signature for both the series and her career. Her voice has that particular blend of power and clarity that anime producers look for when a scene needs to lift off. Songs like 'Phonic Nation' and 'Blue' from her top tracks show she can maintain that intensity across different arrangements.
She was studying at the Tokyo College of Music before the Macross Frontier job changed things in 2008. After surgery for vocal cord polyps in 2011, she came back with her second album 'May'n Act 02' in 2014, working with guitarist Masaki Kishibe along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
