http://i49.tinypic.com/2d14umr.jpg She's quite new actually, she debut in 08, but her popularity grow from [Macross Frontier]anime. Some info about May'n http://i46.tinypic.com/1571743.jpg -------------------------------------------- 20-year-old May’n was born on October 21st, 1989. At the age of 13, she took part in the “Horipro – Talent Scout Caravan – Love Music – Audition”, which was a prominent vocal audition (with some 35,000 applicants), and won it by demonstrating her stunning singing skills. May’n is her stage name, adapted from her given name of May Nakabayashi; it implies her wish to keep on singing, which would become the main themes in everyone’s hearts. In 2008, May’n performed as the singing voice of Sheryl Nome, the Diva of the Galaxy in the TV animation series “Macross Frontier”. In the same year, she released two singles that hit the Japanese Oricon weekly charts at number 3 in their debut weeks. May’n catapulted to fame since then. “May’n Street”, a long-awaited mini album, was released on January 21st, 2009. The album included “Blue” and “Iya, Iya”, both songs’ lyrics being written by May’n herself. The album also received large numbers of pre-orders. The demand for it has not gone down since being released, and got up to 2nd place in the Oricon weekly charts. “キミシニタモウコトナカレ”, opening theme to the TV anime Shangri La was released in May, made it into the Oricon top 10 charts. http://i49.tinypic.com/nfkups.jpg ----------------------------------------- May'n had just release her first album [Styles] on 25th Nov, yes....it's the same day as alan's [My Life].

I like May'n!
I can't decide if I like her solo work or her character releases more. |
I haven't heard of her before until you mentioned her. I've listened to some of her songs and she has an amazing voice. I really like her music. ^_^
|
^yup! My sis is a huge fan of her, she knew her through [Macross Frontier], and end up playing the songs everywhere....her ipod/laptop/TV/handphone ringtone....till i end up liking the songs too!
i'm just amaze at her voice! She's so good, especially live, i seriously can't believe that she debut last year only! in youtube, you can read that some japanese are comparing her voice to ayu, they said that her voice is very strong, which reminds them of ayu's vocals in her upbeat songs. but i have to say that ayu's vocals are softer then her, during ballads ayu voice is different.... no...may'n is no ayumi hamasaki. May'n is very unique, her popularity in Japan is rising crazily, 2 of her MF singles first press were even sold out before the release date at cdjapan! |
did she perform at music japan anisong special? I think I watched her performance at it
|
^yup, she did!!! so you saw her on TV?
|
well, then I know but dislike her...all the artists at that special pretty much sang the same crap and had bad vocals, SCANDAL, Himeka and nana mizuki were the only ones who were not 100% generic
|
^huh? her vocal was crap??? why....is there any translation or sub? coz as far as i know, May'n lyrics are not like those typical anime song....
hmm....or you wanna try those 3 videos that i posted above? her vocals are better in them. |
I will look up some of her lyrics later, can't watch videos because I'm not at my home computer but from what I remember her vocals were pretty weak ,compareable to ayus vocals in recent SURREAL and evolution performances(AT08, CDL0809, TV performances of 2008)
|
^sure ok (^_^)
well, if you are comparing within the first 2 years of debut, just like ayu back then. for me, i find that ayu's voice is a little too sqeaky and not as stable....(i hardly watch her CDL 00-01, because it's a little too sqeaky)i had see May'n live in singapore and her vocal is perfect when singing accapella, it's totally on tune! and it's a last minute encore demand by fans, there wasn't suppose to be an encore actually...so it's unrehearsal,and all i can ay is i'm blown away! It will be unfair to compare to the current ayu, she's getting better and better now. i'm proud of our ayu, she's the jpop utahime! |
I dont know, maybe I wrote it confusing or something, but I meant that she was JUST AS BAD as ayu in recent lives, because ayu sucked very much when singing SURREAL and evolution in the last time
|
^oh i see, so you are comparing against ayu's bad lives, i thought you were refering to her better lives....
ha ha! but ayu vocals are still quite good like PCDL 'Powder Snow', 'In The Corner' |
POWDER SNOW belongs to her easiest songs, In The Corner, though people don't like to hear that, is most likely playback, good vocal performances from PCDL were End of the World and Heartplace, aside that it pretty much was crap, but it's understandable, she was in pain, didn't have the time to rehearse properly and she was most likely on heavy painkillers. You can't really compare ayus concert performances with the ones from other people because we all know she likes to cheat a little by not singing live. Only the tv performances are "safe"
|
^that's true....some of ayu's concert lives can't be trusted, unless you were there.
but i disagree that powder snow is easy, some parts aren't easy for her current vocal now, the notes are quite high for her now. anyway back to topic: since, you can't watch video, i found 2 songs on imeem, i wonder can you play them? Diamod Crevasse http://www.imeem.com/people/JCSS63/m...mond-crevasse/ キミシニタモウコトナカレ http://www.imeem.com/people/KL4d1zA/...u-koto-nakare/ |
no, can't watch videos at all from this computer I'm using right now because it's a very old notebook(~10 years) it sometimes even has problems playing .mp3s
POWDER SNOW: reaching the notes isnt the problem for ayu,she still has a fairly good range, its reaching many notes in a short time like in basically all of her upbeat songs |
I actually listened to her when she first debuted as May Nakabayashi, but then I thought she disappeared. However, when I was watching Macross Frontier, I figured out that she was Sheryl's singing voice, LOL. I like her Sheryl songs more that her earlier stuff. My favorite songs by her are Diamond Crevasse and Northern Cross. :)
|
Hm, her voice is nice :). I'll give her other works a try!

hmm, time to save up for a new one maybe? :innocent notebooks are getting cheaper nowadays, you can get one for as low as USD$480 Quote:
i'm just curious how do people check those Oricon chart? i want to know how much did she sell for her Style album against alan's My Life? both are strong sellers, it's just then May'n more mainstream, while alan was more in oriental music, though she's getting more mainstream now...(i miss her VoE works, total epic) |
Wow she seems pretty cool! :thumbsup

I <3 May'n. I used to hate her until someone convinced me to watch Macross Frontier. However, I do think that she needs to continue having songs composed by Yoko Kanno & Shiro Sagisu---their work with her is amazin'.
|
aww i love her XD
n i was somewhat shocked to found a fellow fan here :laugh lets spread the May'n love here !!! :D |
wow her voice is really amazing!! I will definitely try out some of her works! I really liked that Diamond Crevasse song you posted!!

even during last month ILOVANISONG concert, 99% went there to see May'n and the queue for public to go in for free is crazy. |
^ oh yeah i havent checked out the anime section here :laugh
im not a big anime fan anymore but i still admire it n i wanna watch MF the movie *or is it already released ?* |
^i'm not too sure either. but i don't think so???? coz my sis is a huge MF fan and she have not say anything about it....
My sis got the Universal Bunny album, anyone want? i can upload it |
The movie just came out in theaters in Japan. :)
|
^ooh, *cross my fingers and pray that it will come to Singapore*, even though i have not watch MF anime....
but it will feel so good to hear May'n voice out loud in superb quality at the theatre!!!! |
^At least you have a chance of that happening. T_T Here in the US I don't think we will ever get another Macross series ever because of some legal dispute.
|
^ Yeah, Harmony Gold owns the rights for the US and they refuse to give it up. They refuse to release the rest of the Macross series because they'd have to get the rights to all the music, which they aren't willing to do because they don't think that it will sell here. :(
|
^rest of the series? i thought the anime is only one series, just that there's the movie version?
or the anime wasn't shown complete there? |
There are several Macross series, kinda like how there are several Gundam series. The first Macross was made in 1982. It was brought over to the United States by Harmony Gold, but it was retooled and stuck together with two other unrelated anime series to form Robotech.
Macross Frontier is the latest of the Macross series, and has two movies. One movie was just released, and the other is planned. The movies are a retelling of the Macross Frontier TV series. Sheryl, the character that May'n sings for, is only in the Macross Frontier series and movies. |
I know May'n as she always come out in Animax advertisement. But I never heard her song or watching her live.
|
^ u should try her music !! :D
|
*nods head in agreement*
if you like to listen to catchy pop songs, May'n is your type of music, her songs are pretty mainstream |
I listened to her "Lion" from Macross Frontier, she does have a nice voice ^^
Now I'm kinda too lazy to check the rest of her songs... ^^;; (I do want to listen to her May'n☆Street album someday... XD) |
^have you heard May'n Space?
|
uhm, nope, I don't think so... ^^;
|
