Full press release after the jump.
As part of the effort to globalize May Nakabayashi's (May'n) popularity, RESONANCE Media has announced that the J-Pop starlet's latest album releases HEAT and If you... will be released in the USA iTunes store to help celebrate her upcoming ROCK YOUR BEATS Tour in San Francisco and Los Angeles this June.
