Loved for her rough, distinctive voice and unhinged singing style not unlike that of Sass Jordan, Mai Yamane (山根麻衣) is a Japanese singer, best known for her works with composer 菅野よう子 on the soundtracks for the animated series Cowboy Bebop. She also worked with Kanno on the 2nd Escaflowne soundtrack, Macross soundtrack and the Darker than Black soundtrack (2007).

Such a great voice, so different, so unique, so unconventionally beautiful, and fits so well with the kind of music she sings. Blue is just mindblowing... I was in love with the tune from the moment she started singing. Oh, and she has cool hair. Complete package! :)

She's BRILLIANT. I can't get enough of her voice. She's much better than the whiny-voiced wannabe singers who are popular today.
