Mai Kuraki “Unraveling Love ~A Little Courage~” Lyric Video

This is a track by Mai Kuraki where a cool city-pop sound fuses with rock’s intensity.

Released in October 2023, it was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Detective Conan, marking her 26th tie-in with the series.

It captures a frustrating love that seems mutual yet feels one-sided, vividly portraying the earnest desire to define that ambiguous relationship.

The rapid-fire chorus, delivered in a rush, feels just like a racing heartbeat.

Also included on the 2024 EP “forever for YOU,” this song gently gives a push to anyone who wants to close the distance with someone they like but can’t quite take that final step.

Feel fine!Kuraki Mai17rank/position

Mai Kuraki “Feel fine!”

Mai Kuraki’s signature song “Feel fine!” The title means “feeling good” in English, and it’s a perfect early-summer pop tune that was used in the 2002 SEA BREEZE commercial.

A hallmark of Mai Kuraki’s singing style is her breathy delivery, where the breath comes before the voice.

If you practice as though you’re singing with the “h” sound, you’ll be able to use more breath and should find high notes easier to sing.

Rather than power, aim for an overall light touch.

Since it leans toward an R&B groove, it might work well to sing with a smile while taking light steps!
