Kuroi sang on Elvis Costello & The Imposters' studio album, "Look Now", won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 62nd Grammy Awards. After years of nominations, Look Now is the first Grammy Award Elvis Costello & The Imposters won together as a band. The album was co-produced by Sebastian Krys and features three songs co-written by Burt Bacharach. Carole King co-wrote "Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter", one of the singles featuring Kuroi's vocals.

AllMusic asserts that the album “feels like a cross between Imperial Bedroom and Painted from Memory, Costello's 1998 collaboration with Burt Bacharach.", adding that the album "isn't rock & roll so much as it is pop that blends the craft of classic Brill Building tunes of the '60s with the narrative maturity of classic Broadway musicals and the sort of ballads that were once the purview of classic jazz vocalists". A reviewer for The Associated Press described the album as a series of lamentations by various characters.
