Her age is starting to show, but I love the last scan. Makes her look cute and natural.

She updated her website again. :woot:

thx for the pix, info :applaud:

how old is she?

she still looks quite young, as Asian people don't look their age, this goes for me as well.....i still look like i am in my early twenties...lol

also, how tall is she?

Mai turns 24 in October and she's 5'2" I think that's what 160cm is? LOL. Anyway she's basically being in the biz since she was 16. :)

wow, since 16, just like Utada Hikaru....they started out young...
she's still young....

160cm divided by 2.5cm = 64 inches divided by 12 = 5 feet 3.33333 inches
approximately....give or take...that is a good height for a japanese girl.

Mai's version of the Beach Boys Don't Worry Baby. Total English.

I'm holding out for the tour DVD. I guess it should be out around November...... I've got her 2004 and 2005 tour DVDs.... I'm hopelessly addicted to Mai. :crazy:

Never watch her DVDs, but I guess I should. She's one of my favorite. :D

If you watch one of her tour DVDs, you will not be able to stop watching it over and over as I do. I like her 2004 tour best. In the 2005 tour DVD there is something not quite right in the sound mixing that makes her sound like she's warlbling when she holds the notes for a long time at the end of a number. But during the encore there is a really great moment.

She comes out to do her first encore, lifts the mike to her mouth to begin the song when the band and back up singers start to sing/play happy birthday and the audience goes berserk.... The look of surprise on Mai's face is priceless... I just have to watch it endlessly. You can tell it's totally unexpected. Then they bring out a cake and candles and a very young girl brings out a floral bouquet.

Even though the tour DVDs cost me about $40, they are worth every penny. :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Wow. It really sounds interesting. I'll try to get my hands on the 2004 tour. Hopefully it's not sold out. :fingerscrossed:

Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Yea, her tour DVDs are great. Seen them all. :) I love Juliet in the new album. It's being turned into a PV too.

I've been a Mai fan since the very beginning just about and Stand Up has always been my favorite song by her.
