Reiji Sakurai (born January 26th, 1986) was for a while a frequently appearing vocalist in Bemani, who made his first appearance in 2004 when he won the BEMANI 2004 Vocalist Audition, alongside [[Kanako Watanabe|Kanako Hoshino]] and the members of [[BeForU|BeForU Next]]. He then made his first appearance in [[PnM_AC_12|pop'n music 12 いろは]] with the song [[For Dear~]]. After that, he became fairly active in the pop'n music and GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series, appearing in both games for several years after. Originally he was credited for songs under his original name, but eventually changed it to RayZY, which stuck for the rest of his BEMANI tenure (with the exception of [[White Sketchbook]]).
