Kuraki Mai

 (倉木麻衣) is a Japanese pop and R&B singer-songwriter, producer and composer from Funabashi, Chiba. Kuraki debuted in 1999 with the single, Love, Day After Tomorrow. In 2000, she released her debut album, Delicious Way, which debuted at number-one and sold over 2,210,000 copies in its first week. Mai is one of a few female artists in Japan to have their first four studio albums to debut atop of the Oricon album chart.

She originally released songs with a more R&B feel, though later she switched to a mainstream pop sound. She had an unsuccessful US release under the name Mai-K. Kuraki Mai also has sung two duets with Singaporean superstar Sun Yan Zi.

In 2009, Mai saw a revival in her popularity. Her 8th studio album, Touch Me!, debuted atop the Oricon album charts; becoming her first number-one album in five years. Mai holds the record for being the only female artist to have all of her singles consecutively debut in the Top 10 since her debut. To date, Mai has six number-one albums and two number-one singles.
