Aspiring to become a musician since childhood, she began her music activities in 2003 upon passing an audition held by Horipro. She made her major debut in 2005 under the Universal Music label with the release of her first single "Crazy Crazy Crazy". She would release two more singles under Universal Music, before transferring to Victor Entertainment in 2008.

Her music has been featured in anime series such as Macross Frontier, Aria the Scarlet Ammo, Accel World, Aquarion Logos, and Restaurant to Another World. She has also performed at several music events in Japan, Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2013, she represented Japan at the ABU TV Song Festival in Vietnam.

Early life and childhood

Nakabayashi was born in Nagoya on October 21, 1989.[1] She had become interested in music at an early age, and had been singing at least since she was three years old.[2][3] She had also had an interest in anime series such as Sailor Moon since her childhood, particularly after an occurrence where she heard the series' theme "Moonlight Densetsu" at a karaoke bar.[3] In 2003, at the age of 13, she participated in the 28th "HoriPro – Talent Scout Caravan – Love Music – Audition" (ホリプロ・タレントスカウトキャラバン・ラブミュージック・オーディション., Horipuro・Tarento Sukauto Kyaraban・Rabu Myūjikku・Ōdishon) and out of the 34,911 hopefuls, became one of the four who survived the final eliminations.[1][4]

Nakabayashi transferred to Victor Entertainment in 2008 and began using the stage name May'n.[10] That same year, she gained popularity after being cast as the singing voice of the character Sheryl Nome in the anime television series Macross Frontier.[2] She later released two singles for the series, "Diamond Crevasse / Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't be late" (ダイアモンド クレバス/射手座☆午後九時Don’t be late) and "Lion", with each placing in the Top 3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart in their debut week.[11][12] She was invited to perform "Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't be late" and "Northern Cross" at Animelo Summer Live 2008.[13] She then gave her first live performance outside Japan in Singapore at Anime Festival Asia in November of that year.[14][15] She has since become a regular guest at this event as well,[16] also appearing at its iterations in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.[4][17][18]

Troopers.[31]

In 2011 and 2012, May'n collaborated with music artist Daisuke Asakura for the singles "Scarlet Ballet", which was used as the opening theme to the anime series Aria the Scarlet Ammo, and "Chase the world", which was used as the opening theme to the anime series Accel World.[32] She released her fourth album Heat on March 21, 2012.[33] She represented Japan in October 2013 at the ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam with her single "Vivid".[34] She was scheduled to make an appearance at Animax Carnival Philippines in December 2013, but the event was cancelled as a result of the effects of Typhoon Haiyan.[35]

In 2014, May'n released her fifth album New World.[36] She then returned to the United States with a solo concert in San Francisco and a performance at Union Square for J-Pop Summit Festival 2014.[37]

May'n performed "Yamaidare darlin'", which was used as the first opening theme to the 2015 anime television series Aquarion Logos,[38] and later performed the songs "Yoake no Logos", which was used as the second opening theme to Aquarion Logos, and the series' second ending theme "Hontō no Koe wo Anata ni Azuketakute", which was performed with Haruka Chisuga.[39] She released her fifth album Powers of Voice on September 7, 2015.[40] She would also make an appearance at Animax Carnival Malaysia in March of that year.[41] In 2016, she performed the song "Belief", which was used as the opening theme to the anime television series Taboo Tattoo.[42] She performed the song "Hikari Aru Basho e", which is used as the ending theme to the 2016 anime television series Izetta: The Last Witch.[43] She also appeared at Animax Carnival Philippines in October of that year.[35]

In 2017, May'n collaborated with idol unit Wake Up, Girls! in performing the song "One in a Billion", which was used as the opening theme to the anime television series Restaurant to Another World.[44] She made an appearance at Illinois' Anime Central event in May,[45] and she also appeared at Anime Festival Asia Indonesia in August as a replacement for singer Ami Wajima, who had cancelled her appearance for health reasons.[46] She released her sixth album Peace of Smile on October 30, 2017.[47] She returned to Singapore in March 2018 for the anime event Anime Garden,[48] and she appeared at the Anisong World Matsuri event in Los Angeles in July of that year.[49] In September 2018, May'n and Megumi Nakajima, who played the role of Ranka Lee in Macross Frontier, released the single "Good job!"; it was their first Macross-related single in seven years.[50] She will release an album titled Yell!! and a single titled "Kiba to Tsubasa" (牙と翼) on July 31, 2019;[51][52] "Kiba to Tsubasa" will be used as the ending theme to the anime series Kochoki: Wakaki Nobunaga.[53]

Musical style and influences

May'n's musical style varies in genre, ranging from pop and rock, to dance music and R&B,[1] and she cites artists such as Britney Spears, Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Namie Amuro as her musical influences.[3][54] She also cites her relationship with composer Yoko Kanno as a major factor in her career.[3][55]

In interviews with Anime News Network, May'n discussed her performance style and her experiences working with composers such as Kanno and Daisuke Asakura. She stated that her initial preferred genres were R&B and dance music, but collaborating with Kanno made her realize that her voice fit rock songs more. Whenever she performs theme songs for anime, she would try to "feel each character's heart."[3] Since she had been cast as the singing voice of the character Sheryl Nome, she had a desire to "become" the character, although Kanno would give her advice that she should stop acting too much like Sheryl and instead be herself. As for her involvement with Asakura, she stated that she admired Asakura's work and that collaborating with him allowed her to explore new music styles that she had not attempted before.[56] May'n also explained the reason for her stage name. She stated that she began using the name "May'n" when she started performing songs for anime series, and that the name was a play on the English word "main", as she wanted her songs to be seen as "main themes" to her audiences, and for her fans to consider her their "main singer".[56]

May'n discussed the production of her song "You", used as the opening theme to the anime series The Ancient Magus' Bride, in a February 2018 interview with DaVinci News. She said that the song was meant to represent the relationship between the series' characters Chise and Elias, and in particular Elias' representation as a dark and sad character. She notes that, as the single was released during her 10th anniversary, she wanted to challenge herself to "get better" in singing, and to improve her weaknesses.[57]
