Information

Hoshimura Mai was born in Shimane Prefecture (Matsue-shi) and is currently a university senior majoring in piano. She began playing when she was just 4 years old and considers the piano her friend. Her parents are both school teachers and were important to her development as a musician. Hoshimura's mother wanted her to become a classical musician while her father influenced her with his fondness for pop music (he played guitar in a pop-style band).

During high school, Hoshimura set her sights on becoming a singer-songwriter. She also developed a preference for pop-rock over classical music. One day, Hoshimura learned of a Sony Records vocalist audition on the Internet and submitted a demonstration tape. Although she passed the initial screening, she did not make the final cut since she was unable to attend an in-person audition because of her exams. Hoshimura did not give up however, and so she tried once again and passed. She released her debut single Natsuiro no Campus in 2002.

In May 2009, when Hoshimura's contract terminated, she left Sony Music Entertainment.
