A sample of a cover song by Rey "Sakurane", originally sung by PIKO |
Rey (レイ) is a Vietnamese YouTube singer who began covering songs in 2010. He is known for his low, rough and sexy voice like his cover of "Koi wa Sensou". However, he is able to sing in high tones, as heard in his cover of "Mozaik Role" or "Unravel". He also can make hoarse voice and screams that are suitable for death metal style in "This Calling".
As a member of Symphonia Chorus, an Youtube vocaloid group, Rey plays Gakupo and frequently uses this character's images in his cover. When singing vocaloid songs, Rey often covers the songs with dark fairy or historical theme.
There are some songs that Rey uploads more than one version in his channel. However, "Senbonzakura" is the most specific case with 5 videos of 3 singing versions. The chorus of "Senbonzakura" in which he mixed his cover with the cover of some utaite on NND and Kaito's voice becomes his most viewed video. It reached more than 81k as of Febuary 20, 2015. The original version of "Senbonzakura" also be his most famous solo cover with 38k views on Youtube. The third place of highest views in his channel is the remix version of "Senbonzakura" with 25k views.
