In January 2009, the long-awaited mini-album May'n☆Street was released, and it achieved 2nd place on the Oricon Weekly Chart in the first week. All of May'n's releases since then have consistently entered the top music sales charts.

In January 2010, May'n performed her first solo Budokan concert, which sold out in only 1 day.
