I bet there will being that this album will have more songs than his entire Bemani discography up to date. Anyway, I suppose we can also repeat the news that Gylay is going to be performing with Risa Sotohana sometime soon (July 29th). Plus, does anyone know if Reiji was part of Gylay before he won that Bemani contest?

I like Infinity Blue. There should be more songs like that by him. Very mellow but with a quick pace.

ryuko_hikaru · 07-27-2007, 11:56 AM

I like Infinity Blue too.

He is one of the youngest artistes in Bemani.......

He could have been the youngest to get chosen during the auditions if not for Risa (who is 16 at that time and he is 17).

There is another song named Always by Sayaka Minami but it is in 6NOTES and under the BE+WINGS record label. Are they the same song or just same name?

I went to play pop n music 13 last week, but I didn't see this song 空へ続く道～Infinity∞MIX. How do I get to the song?

And something that I managed to find: song samples of his band, Glyay.

Infinity Mix is a 13 CS secret song; just select Light (Infinity Blue's character) and play Infinity Blue on Challange mode; you'll get the secret infinity mix version instead of the normal song.

Play it and keep it forever (but both versions are gone as if you played both already.)

This needs Night Fever long.
Don't let me down ;_;

I'm with you on that one. Venus is my favorite Reiji song.

I'm also willing to bet that of he has a song on GFDM V4, it'll be on the CD as well.

You ～Meaning All Orbit～（仮) - Gylay

If memory serves me right, this is actually Gylay's first ever commercially (?) released song. I am very hopeful. Finally, Reiji Sakurai is getting some attention!
