桜井零士


For those of you who don't know, Reiji Sakurai is a vocalist that won the Bemani Vocalist audition along with Kanako Hoshino and BeForU NEXT in 2004.  A lot of his songs are featured in Pop'n but there are quite a few in the GF/DM series too. His voice is very unique and not like many other artists.  Throughout his four year career, he has only released one album titled "For Dear.." which I find to be quite good.

Sakurai is also part of a band called "Gylay." I haven't listened to much of their music but I do know they have a song in GF/DM V3 titled "You ~Meaning All Orbit~"  If I remember correctly, Gylay also performed live with Risa a while back at one of her concerts.

My favorite songs from him are Night Fever, Venus, and 空へ続く道～Infinity∞MIX.

He is really nice, I like him. Reiji Sakurai's cool, he says he wants to keep improving his English. The reason why he hasn't done so much stuff with Bemani is because he's been doing a lot of work outside it with his band Gylay, which has a song on GFdm V3 CS. They're quite good, they've done quite a lot of live work and they are on the way to recording an album together.

Reiji Sakurai is good friends with kors k and Natsack and Ryu* though, which I find pretty interesting.

Oh, so that's where he's disappeared to! I'm looking forward to Gylay's album already. Does anyone know if they have an official site or something? I wanna find out some release dates!

Yeah but I think his latest song White Sketchbook on V5 is really horrible. Really.

Either that or I am too engaged by Zetsubou Billy and TERRA's new song (Is it called Kagami Hana Mizu Gekrou?).

I like Reiji, I have his album, I think it's really good and I think he's great in Venus.

LOL Late reply

TERRA's song is KYOKA-SUIGETSU-ROW.

Anyway, anyone know who composed White Sketchbook? That song is awesome, for me.

[SUPER STAR MITSURU]

Don't quote me on this, but I think MTO.

[tsugaru7reveng]

MTO... (yeah, Des-ROW)

The percussions sound nothing like those in Desert rain though. They sound different.
I wonder what the V5 OST will say.

EDIT: Why is he not under artists on BMF? Why is this album not under Konami?
