[edit] History
- January 2003: Debuts as Ruppina.
- December 2005: Her music video for "Reborn" is used for the closing theme song of the Japanese TV show Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ beginning with the December 5 episode. She is in the nude throughout the music video. The song is also used as the theme song for the Xbox 360 game "eM" by From Software. Heavy promotion by Avex continues throughout the month prior to her single debut as Mai at the end of the month.
- April 2006: Her second single, to be released on April 12, 2006, seems to be continuing the "au naturel" theme from the first single. While the first single use butterfly symbolism, the second will likely use dove or swan as the symbol. This could be seen from Mai's official site where the wings attached to her bare back are similar to a dove's or swan's feathers.
