Reki comes form the Japanese word, "Gareki" which means debris. The concept was that Reki is the one flower in a field of debris.

i'm trying to perform live more often... ^^;
My very first live performance was at Futago's Japanese restaurant in Alpharetta. Live performances are cool! i want to do more! ^^

MP3's give independent artists a chance to promote their stuff... i just feel bad for the artists that get ripped off because someone makes illegal copies of songs. But i think record sales is not the only thing that the artist depends on... almost all successfull artists branch out into other genres of business.

Yeah, if anyone's interested. *lol* A record deal is still a dream for me.

Band history is in reverse chronological order. (in other words, the newer stuff is first. ^^)

September-November 2004:
i've attempted some collaboration projects with Japanese artists... the finished product should be out soon. ^^;
Special thanks to: Mr. Toshiyuki Yanai, Ms. Christal Ishikawa, Mr. Kei Mochizuki, and Ms.Ran Fukudo. ^^

August 2004:
First Open Mic appearance! ^^
This was @ Smith's Old Bar in Atlanta. i didn't even make it to the second round, but it was lots of fun, and people came up to me to compliment my singing. So i was happy. ^^

December 2003:
Second live concert!

One day i'll have time to go to local clubs and whatnot...

definitely new-school R&B influence.
Also lots of J-Pop influence. My favorite J-Pop (or J-Rock?) band is L'arc en Ciel. i also like techno... Denki Groove, especially.
