Secret of my heartKuraki Mai
Speaking of transparency, “clear” comes to mind—and Mai Kuraki is the perfect embodiment of that image.
Since 1999, she has delivered one hit after another starting with her debut single, “Love, Day After Tomorrow,” which succeeded despite having no promotion.
Her meteoric rise and R&B style drew comparisons to Hikaru Utada, with the two often cited as twin pillars of the scene.
She has contributed many songs to the anime Detective Conan and, with her now long career, appears on TV more often, radiating a friendly charm.
Above all, her enduring sense of transparency—even after all these years—remains her greatest appeal.
I’d love for people to pay attention to the breezy rhythm of “Feel fine!” and the delicate beauty of songs like “Togetsukyo -Kimi Omou-.” Her whisper-like vocals are especially prominent in early classics such as “Secret of my heart.”

Blessed with a delicate sensibility and literary expressiveness, Kayoko Yoshizawa captivates many listeners with her unique musicality, rooted in pop and infused with elements of folk and rock.
She made her debut in 2014 with the mini-album “Henshin Shōjo” (Metamorphosis Girl) and has continued to create songs with subtle, story-like qualities ever since.
Starting with winning an Excellence Award at the Tokyo finals of “The 3rd Music Revolution” in 2010, she has received numerous accolades.
With a clear, translucent voice and poetic lyrics that weave in everyday scenes, she strives for expressions that resonate closely with listeners’ hearts.
She is highly recommended for those who enjoy narrative, storybook-like worlds and delicate emotional expression, or who find beauty in the quiet moments of daily life.

Released in July 1996, “PRIDE” became the biggest hit of her career.
Her voice has matured with age, and the many songs woven with her soothing crystal-clear vocals have a purifying effect on listeners’ hearts.
