Future Kiss is the ninth studio album by Japanese recording artist Mai Kuraki. It was released on November 17, 2010. The limited edition comes with a bonus DVD containing a special movie. First pressing of the album comes with a bonus disc including the song "Boyfriend".

The album includes "Watashi no, Shiranai, Watashi." and "Beautiful", which were included in her second compilation album, All My Best, "Tomorrow Is the Last Time", which served as an ending theme to the anime series Detective Conan, and her last two singles with the exception of the A-side "Eien Yori Nagaku". In support of the new album, Kuraki launched a 3-date promo tour in December which will stop in Nagoya, Osaka and Tokyo.

Future Kiss was originally set to be released on October 20, 2010, but the release date was delayed to November 17 due to longer than expected production time.

The regular version (Northern Music VNCM-9012) includes a bonus CD single "Boyfriend" which is done by Kuraki and Michael Africk. Some of the album covers feature a profile of Kuraki with her eyes closed. The limited edition (Northern Music VNCM-9011), indicated mainly by a profile of Kuraki's face with a hand covering her eyes, include the "Boyfriend" CD and a DVD with the Mai Kuraki Time Capsule movie.

Future Kiss was released on November 17, 2010 and debuted on Oricon Weekly album chart at No. 3, selling 40,093 copies. Despite its good chart performance, it sold 65,179 copies in total and became her fewest sales of her original album in Japan.

All lyrics written by Mai Kuraki.
