Ray is a Japanese pop singer who has made significant strides in the anime music industry, becoming well-known for her affinity for anime theme songs. Born on April 15, her full name is Reika Nakayama, but she's professionally known simply as Ray.

Titles such as "ebb and flow," "Recall," "lull～そして僕らは～," and "初めてガールズ!"—the latter translating to "First-time Girls!"—have found their way into the hearts of anime enthusiasts and music lovers alike. Her discography, which includes albums like "Milky Ray" and singles like "Happy days" and "Little Trip," reveals a penchant for upbeat and melodic tunes that pair well with the animation stories they complement. Ray's energetic performance style and the infectious enthusiasm in her music continue to earn her a dedicated fanbase within the J-pop genre and beyond.
