Experience
Here is the 27th single from Mai Kuraki entitled "Silent Love ~open my heart~/Be With U". I thought this was a great single from Mai, this single is a must listen. She will also be releasing an album on January 1st entitled "One Life".
Kuraki’s career has been somewhat overshadowed by that of her slightly younger contemporary, Utada Hikaru. Despite this, Kuraki’s album Delicious Way sold more than 3 million copies and became the best selling album of 2000 in Japan, cementing her status with singers like Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada Hikaru. Her second album, Perfect Crime, sold more than 1 million copies in 2001.
Her all-African-American tour band, Experience, is also somewhat prolific. They were featured in the music video for “Stand Up”, and released one single featuring Kuraki Mai’s vocals and a Michael Jackson tribute album.
She was influenced at an early age by Whitney Houston's singing and Michael Jackson's dancing. In her second year of junior high school, she submitted a demo tape to the Giza Studio recording label and won a contract. She debuted in the United States in 1999 with the song "Baby I Like," released as Mai K. Her first Japanese single, "Love, Day After Tomorrow", was released later in the year.
It sold 1,385,190 copies in Japan. The success of her debut was quickly followed by her second single "Stay by my side" which become her first no.1 single and eventually sold 922,140 copies. Mai's third single "Secret of my Heart" was also very successful reaching no.2 on the Oricon Weekly Ranking. The single charted for sixteen weeks and sold 968,980 copies. A few weeks before the release of her debut album Mai released her fourth single "Never Gonna Give You Up" featuring Michael Africk. The single peaked at #2 and sold 434,250 copies.
