1999 10 She debuted in the United States at the age of 16, and released her first CD "My Favorite Baby", which was sold out in Japan in the form of [foreign input disk] and sold out immediately. Then she debuted in Japan last year with a song [Love, the day after tomorrow], which made her famous, and then her name was added.

The first CD has been recorded in Boston's famous Cybersound, and many famous musicians have been invited to cooperate, such as Larry Thomas, the helm of Cybersound. Mayi fell in love with British and American music from the time she watched the movies of Michael Jackson and Whitney Havsteen in the senior grade of elementary school. I hope I can be such a singer. Mark Kamins, a famous American musician, praised her after listening to the audition tape of My Favorite Baby, and invited many famous DJs to make a vinyl mix for her.

Kuraki Mai's second CD, Love, The Day After Tomorrow, became her first album in Japan. Her songs are all written by herself, and the lyrics are sung. Her music style is accompanied by R &；; The taste of b and PoP has a thorough feeling of singing.

Kuraki Mai's first single Love, The Day After Tomorrow was released in February. 1999. When the film was first released, there was no close-up at all, and the outside world did not think that she had a chance to make the list or aroused enthusiastic response; Who knows, from before and after the film was released, when FM radio stations all over the country played Kuraki Mai's "Love, the day after tomorrow", they kept appearing: "Whose song is this?" Asking and responding, this voice gradually changed from a low voice at the beginning to a big fluctuation. After 27 weeks in a row, Kuraki Mai's stable single performance jumped to the second place in one fell swoop, with sales exceeding 6,543,800+3,000! As we all know, Kuraki Mai is a best-selling singer with good sound quality and strong singing skills. Without the attitude of a star, she feels different from ordinary artists, and some are just pure and transparent singing skills.

Before Kuraki Mai returned to Japan to publish Love, Sun ~, he recorded three English songs "My Favorite Baby", which is a Maxi single full of soul music, in order to publish a Japanese solo disc. This single was specially recorded in Boston, and the memories of recording this single at that time were: "Shopping and Harvard University. I remember I recorded it while browsing. There are many European buildings in Boston. I didn't expect to see European architecture in America. It feels great! I really want to live like this. From the straightforward "shopping and Harvard University" and her amazing creative talent, people realize that she is a strange girl, with the characteristics of both an ordinary girl and an artist, and can properly handle both identities. Kuraki Mai's single "My Favorite Baby" is also highly appreciated by American promoters: "Although Japanese pop music has not caused a great sensation in the United States," My Favorite Baby "will definitely cause a sensation in Japan and the United States! Kuraki Mai really lived up to expectations. My favorite baby released under the name of "Mai". K was not only well received in the United States, but Mark, who composed music for Madonna and Mariah Carey, also made an anonymous version of the song at his own expense. Referring to the mood when the single was released in the United States, Kuraki Mai said, "I don't believe it at all! I didn't think "this is true" until I saw the propaganda article published on Billboard. 」
