Edit this experience

When I was 3 years old, I saw Namie Amuro on TV. I was shocked and decided to become a singer. I started participating in auditions from then on, and participated in my first real audition event when I was 9 years old. In 2003, when he was 13 years old, he participated in the 28th Horipro Newcomer Selection Contest and falsely reported his age to be 15 years old. In the preliminaries in Nagoya, the judges were moved by Mei's natural singing voice and entered the top four finals from 34,911 people, but did not win. The champion did not receive a special award. According to official records, winner: Otake Yuki, special award: none. Of course, the first rule in the competition rules states: Eligibility: 15-22 years old... If you falsely report your age, you will be disqualified, and you will never get the prize. But even though it violated the rules, the organizer still signed a contract with the minister.

When I entered high school in 2005, I went to Beijing and lived in Horipro’s artist dormitory. Their first appearance was the single "Crazy Crazy Crazy", which was released only in the East China Sea region, and then officially debuted with the single of the same name on June 1. While recording the singles "Sympathy" and "Fallin' in or Not feat. SEAMO", he started his high school life. ?Graduated from Sunrise High School in the spring of 2008. In January 2008, her stage name was changed from May Nakabayashi to May'n (taken from her original name May Nakabayashi, which also means singing "Main theme (theme song)" for everyone.) In April of the same year, she became the director of TV animation The vocalist of "Macross F"'s singer Seiro Nomu (Snowloo Nomu), the single "ダイアモンドクレバス" ("Diamond Crack") and the duet single with Nakajima Ai, the other heroine's vocalist in the drama "Lion" ("Lion") ranked third on the Oricon chart for the week. So far, the cumulative sales of "Diamond Crack" ("Diamond Crack") have exceeded 100,000. In January 2009, the first Mini Album "メイン☆ストリート" ("May'n☆Street") was released after changing the stage name to May'n, including famous musicians Kanno Yoko, Sugaru and May'n The track was composed by myself and also includes the much-anticipated solo version of Lion. "May'n☆Street" ranked second on the Oricon list when it was released. By the end of the first week, sales had reached nearly 26,000, ranking second on the weekly list. In January 2009, he held his first solo concert "May'n☆ACT" in four years since his debut, with three stops - Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo. The Tokyo Station concert will be made into a DVD and will be released on March 25. In April 2009, it was decided to star in the April new show "SHANGRI-LA". Among them, he serves as the lead vocalist of the OP song "キミシニタモウコトナカレ" (Please take good care of me). The single will be released on May 16th, and it also contains lyrics written by May'n.

Nakabayashi Mei's stage photos (17 photos) In August 2009, she participated in the performance on the first day of Animelo Summer Live 2009 -RE;BRIDGE- (2009 Summer Animation Song Festival). On October 21, 2009, on her birthday, Sherloo Noam released her debut single "Pink Monsoon", which was accompanied by the single "my teens, my tears". The first solo album will be released on November 25, 2009, produced by Shiro Sagisuo. On the same day, the fan album "Universal Bunny" from the Macross F theatrical version was also released under the name of Sheryl Nome. On the first day it was listed, it ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively on the Oricon daily chart under the attack of many powerful artists. At the same time, it was revealed that the new song "Grand Piano" from the personal live broadcast at the beginning of the year will be released through online distribution. On December 13, 2009, at the invitation of the country, she performed in Guangzhou with the famous animation singer Yoshiki Fukuyama. This was May'n's first time in China. The "May'n Special Concert2010 at Nippon Budokan "BIG★WAAAAAVE!!" to be held on January 24, 2010 has begun. She is the second female singer from Horipro to hold a solo performance at Nippon Budokan after Momoe Yamaguchi. Tickets will be sold out on the same day. On May 12, 2010, the new album (official website language) "爱はfallる星のごとく" (ED of the Sino-Japanese co-production animation "The Legend of the Strongest General: Romance of the Three Kingdoms") was released. "May'n Special Concert2010 at Nippon Budokan "BIG★WAAAAAVE!!"" BD/DVD was released on May 26, 2010.

The title song "もしも君が愿うのなら" is the theme song of the PSP game "戦场のヴァルキュリア3". At the same time, this game is also another collaboration between the luxurious lineup of Nakamura Yuichi × Endo Aya × May'n after MF. On March 6, 2011, singer May'n (Mea Nakabayashi) stood on the Nippon Budokan stage for the second time and successfully held her LIVE concert. This time, in order to be able to match the rock performance on stage and sing to her heart's content, May'n specially cut off 20cm of her hair. She sang 27 songs during the entire concert, intoxicating nearly 9,000 fans in the audience. .

Edit this anecdote

Singing skills and live performance capabilities have been recognized. Known as the "Galaxy Diva", she sings from her heart, hoping to perfectly convey the meaning of each word of the lyrics. I use the piano when composing my own music. I am grateful to have met Yoko Kanno (music director of "Macross F"): "This is the first time someone has analyzed my voice like this. For me, someone fully understands my abilities and we can work together to create something that is beyond imagination every time. "It's a very happy thing." (Word in the blog) He also said that Yoko Kanno is like a magician, a magician who can maximize the characteristics of her voice. Living in a family of four, in addition to parents, there is also a younger sister. The real name "Mei" comes from "メイ" in "My Neighbor Totoro". Favorite artists include Britney Spears, Beyonce, Namie Amuro, Christina Aguilera, Christina Milian, KELIS, Eminem, Janet Jackson, SOUL´d OUT, Jamelia, Nana Mizuki, JAM Project, and Aya Hirano. My favorite brands are SmackyGlam and Beams. I also said that I like some second-hand clothing stores that have nothing to do with the brand. I like to collect all kinds of things. So far I have collected jeans, light sneakers, books, CDs, plastic bottle caps, small bags, hippo bags, special socks, etc. The blog also often mentions food, likes carbonated drinks, and prefers coffee to black tea. I have a deep preference for special foods, and I often mention such topics in my blog. Therefore, he is called the head (of the Gourmet Department), and the fans are called members. My favorite foods are Taiyaki (self-proclaimed "Taiyayaki Goodwill Ambassador") and Oreos. With ELISA, Fei Lan fell into Lily's triangle relationship. Elisa was the minister's boyfriend, and the minister was Fei Lan's boyfriend. Participated in ASL three times in a row and won the recognition of Masami Okui (dubbed by netizens as "mother and daughter" due to her similarity in singing skills and appearance, but she calls Masami Okui "sister" in private) and others. Has become the main lineup of ANIMAX MUSIX 2010. Her performance in the Horipro 50th anniversary commemoration of the masterpiece "インシテミル: 7日のデス?ゲーム" theme song has greatly increased her media attention. Osaka/Nagoya Incident: In 2009, he suddenly lost his voice while singing "Diamond Crack" at the Osaka concert. The song was completed by a chorus of members in the audience. A few days later at Nagoya Station, I lost my voice again, and ended up singing a cappella without any instrumental accompaniment. See further reading for details. Kaoru Hirata, Yisa Naka, Natsuko (SDN48), Akiko (SDN48), Yumi Tajima, and Rino Chihiro are high school classmates who have a very good relationship. These seven people still get together from time to time.

Edit this paragraph about the opportunity for debut

As we all know, the director watched Namie Amuro's performance on TV when he was 3 years old. After being shocked, he decided to become a singer. Today in 2010, the minister is 20 years old, so it would be 1993-1994 when the minister was 3 years old. However, Amuro Namie did not officially debut under her own name until 1995. In February 1992, Namie Amuro was put into a girl group called Super Monkey's by her agency and debuted with the other four members. Super Monkey's was not successful and its members were constantly replaced.

In 1994, the group changed its name to "Namie Amuro with Super Monkey's" to highlight Namie Amuro's rising popularity. At the age of 3, the minister saw on TV what Namie Amuro looked like when she performed with Super Monkey's. Woolen cloth? In the earliest days (should be before 1994), Super Monkey's live performance group was renamed "Amuro Namie with Super Monkey's" and then the MV "Amuro Namie with Super Monkey's" live performance (please see further reading) Although the singing skills are average But Amuro, who was only 16 or 7 years old at the time, was already doing very well in Typhoon. I wonder which song or performance shocked the minister? So I looked back at the minister’s previous blog: ————————————————————————ダイアモンド(゜Д゜)ktkr　2008.9.7　Today’s は、ファミカラしてきた? マクロスももちろん. いつもな选歌です(　^ω^) デビューのきっかけとなったオーデで歌った Fortuneの歌も久しぶりに歌いました(゜ω゜) Amuro さんの『shine more』 やっぱかっこぅぃぃ!!! ! Diamond Crack (゜Д゜) is coming. September 7, 2008. Did you sing karaoke today? Of course I sang MF’s songs. The song I always choose (^ω^) As a chance to debut, I sang the song of destiny in the audition. I haven’t sung it in a long time (゜ω゜) Amuro-san’s “shine more” is really cool! ! ! —————————————————————————— The single “shine more” was released on March 5, 2003. When the minister was 13 years old, he participated in the 28th rookie selection held by Horipro in 2003. It can be seen from the website of HoriPro's 28th Rookie Selection that year that there were three reviews for the general election that year, one review in August and the final in December. It was indeed after the release of Amuro's single. So it is almost certain that the 13- or 4-year-old Minister challenged Namie Amuro's new single "Shine More", which was very popular at the time, in that audition.
