When J!-ENT last featured May’n, she was promoting her music post-”Macross Frontier” at Anime Expo 2010. As many anime fans were captivated by her voice of Sheryl Nome, we often wondered what would happen to May’n after the “Macross Frontier” excitement subsided?
Since then, May’n has done quite well for herself, performing throughout Japan and Asia and various anime festivals but also performing her first solo concert at Nippon Budokan in 2010. By 2011, a 3D live documentary movie titled “May’n The Movie: Phonic Nation” was released and her singles and albums would do well on the Oricon music charts.
May’n would continue to perform songs for other mediums May’n such as Capcom’s “E.X. Troopers” and collaborate with Daisuke Asakura for her singles “Scarlet Ballet” for the anime series “Aria the Scarlet Ammo” and “Chase the world” for “Accel World”.
In 2013, May’n would continue to release several more singles that would be featured on various anime series. “Run Real Run” and “Outsider” were featured in “Real Onigokko the Origin” and “Onimusha Soul”; her single “Vivid” was featured on “Blood Lad” while the coupling track “Wild Rose” was featured in “Ikenie no Dilemma”.
In 2014, she released the single “Kyo no Koiro” which was featured in the anime series “Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha” and she also released her latest album in Jan. 2014 titled “New World”.
In July 2014, May’n would hold a one-night concert in San Francisco, but prior to her performance, she surprised the audi- ence at J-POP Summit Festival 2014 with a performance of a few songs at Union Square.
A few hours before her surprise performance at J-POP Summit Festival 2014, J!-ENT’s Dennis A. Amith had the opportunity to interview May’n.
