Cute figure chewing on ice cream in the car.

Roppongi, Tokyo, at night in early March 2010. In front of a popular frozen yogurt store, there was a stylish woman intently looking at the board with the menu. It was Mai Kuraki. She was dressed in a pair of crushed jeans with large apertures on the thighs, long laced boots, and a white mask.

At that time, more than 10 years had passed since her debut, but the first time she sang on a commercial TV program was on “Music Station” (TV Asahi) in February 2009. She has had almost no media exposure, and her private life has been shrouded in mystery” (TV magazine reporter).

After finishing his menu selection, Kuraki returned to the car, shifted his mask, and began to eat the ice cream. She seemed to be seriously examining the flavors of the ice cream, but then she started a conversation with a female passenger and burst into laughter, her expression really cute. Her cool and mature image is quite apparent in these shots, but her true face is that of an ordinary girl.

In her private life, Kuraki has remained single, and her personal life remains shrouded in mystery.

“I feel like I’m married to music. Through the live tour, there are moments when I can feel the happiness coming back to me as much as I work hard, so I can work hard.

Kuraki’s latest song, “You & I,” will be the new ending theme for “Detective Conan” starting December 2, and as we approach the 25th anniversary of the show, we can expect to see even more exposure for Kuraki in the future.
