Mai Kuraki (倉木 麻衣 Kuraki Mai) (born October 28, 1982 as Mai Aono (青野真衣 Aono Mai)) is a Japanese pop and R&B singer-songwriter and producer from Funabashi, Chiba. Kuraki debuted in 1999 with the single, "Love, Day After Tomorrow". In 2000, she released her debut album, Delicious Way, which debuted at number-one and sold over 2,210,000 copies in its first week. Kuraki is one of a few female artists in Japan to have their first four studio albums to debut atop of the Oricon album chart.[1]
In 2009, Kuraki saw a revival in her popularity. Her eighth studio album, Touch Me!, debuted atop the Oricon album charts; becoming her first number-one album in five years. Kuraki holds the record for being the only female artist to have all of her singles consecutively debut in the Top 10 since her debut,[2] and is the 38th best-selling Japanese music artist of all time. To date, Kuraki has seven number-one albums (five originals and two compilations) and two number-one singles.
Aiuchi Rina (愛内里菜) is a former Japanese pop artist who was under the GIZA studio label. When she debuted, her music was a mix of trance, dance, and pop; however, after she started self-producing her songs, Aiuchi incorporated rock influences in her music. Despite her minor setbacks, she remained a prominent name in the Japanese music scene and is one of GIZA's most popular artists. In 2010, Aiuchi announced that she was retiring from music because of health reasons.
In an interview with NACK5 [GOOD DAY RIVERSIDE], Yuri Nakamura(the lead vocal for GARNET CROW) remarked "First of all GARNET... it's a gem not so red as ruby, neither black. The centre of garnet has a deeper and darker red that vaguely paralelles a humbleness when we talk about music making. The subtle nuance in colour, or should we say the delicate harmony in music seems to call for something with deeper meaning. That's why we choose the word GARNET."
So there you have 'red not as red, black not so black. precious as gem or sinister as crow?' The bewildering contrasts can't be more aptly explained by the music itself. It's probably a big minus for those who don't understand Japanese lyrics. NANA (GARNET CROW's lyricist) tends to compose themes which boarder on sadness, betrayals, or even life and death. This should naturally bestow a dark tone on the music but on the exact contrary, the melody sounds cheerful and upbeat. You can take it as a radiating smile that masks a cringing heart. That's just one aspect of their music. From deep within their musical conception exudes a pure passion that's like singing your lungs out at the centre of the world. Now I've digressed... Whatever way you analyse it, the music speaks for itself.
ps. Initially they came up with 'GARNET' which sounded too short and abrupt. Crows are considered to be auspicious birds in Japan. Therefore they made it 'GARNET CROW'. Crow sounds like 'Kuro' ('black' in Japanese) so there you have a pun ^^
Zard will be remembered as one of the defining pop acts of the '0s. Straight-ahead pop songs, positive attitude, and a refreshingly honest musical and lyrical style garnered the act multiple megahits and the adoration of a generation of pop fans for most of the decade, and contrary to most pop acts in Japan, they achieved success while skillfully avoiding frequent media appearances and the debilitating scrutiny of the public. While mostly the solo project of vocalist Izumi Sakai (born Sachiko...
