May'n's famous and popular songs

~*Pink Monsoon*~

An insert song from the film Macross Frontier The False Songstress, it’s a track that puts the spotlight on Sheryl Nome’s sexiness—something that, aside from her outfits, wasn’t heavily emphasized during the TV broadcast.

The CD jacket follows suit, and it supposedly did—or maybe didn’t—serve as the trigger for pushing that sexiness in things like that figure everyone talks about.

Northern Cross

It was used as the ending theme for Macross Frontier.

The silhouette of the female artist shown over the ending visuals is modeled after Sheryl, and as credited—performed by May’n—she herself portrayed Sheryl through the dance.

As a fan, nothing could be more gratifying.

Ready Go!May’n

Opening theme song for the anime “Okami-san and Her Seven Companions.” Keeping her powerful vocals intact, it’s a poppy, bright, and upbeat track reminiscent of her performance as Sheryl Nome.

The music video also matches this, featuring pastel-themed visuals.

The later opening theme song that she sang as a unit with Megumi Nakajima, who played Ranka Lee in Macross Frontier.

They would go on to perform it together many times at Macross F-related concerts, but after the show ended, Nakajima’s singing style shifted from that of an anime character to a more artist-oriented approach.

As a result, their performances have a slightly different vibe from how they sounded during the series, but their harmonies are still definitely worth a listen.

It is the opening theme of Taboo Tattoo.

What sets her tie-in songs apart from those of typical artists is that she engages sincerely so that the lyrics, vocal delivery, and musical style never betray the work’s image.

By the time this song was released, that attitude was already well known, and she was likely regarded by everyone as an undisputed anime song vocalist.

One of the songs included on May’n’s first mini-album, “Main☆Street.” Composed by Yoko Kanno, with whom she became close through their connection on Macross F, it stands out among May’n’s typically power-focused tracks as a rare, bright and cute song.

Run Real RunMay’n

It is the theme song for the TV drama Real Onigokko THE ORIGIN.

In terms of a tie-in outside of anime, like Shinjitemiru, it is also a very rare song for May’n.

As a fan, it’s delightful to have more opportunities for people to get to know her singing voice.
