Rei Wakana, known professionally as LAYER, is a third-year Music Department student at Geijutsu High School of Fine Arts. As RAISE A SUILEN’s vocalist and bassist, she commands attention with her versatile vocals and mastery across genres. Towering at 172 cm with striking black hair and violet eyes, her reserved nature and mature aura create an enigmatic presence that keeps others at arm’s length.

Her enduring childhood bond with Poppin’Party’s Tae Hanazono anchors her personal history, though Rei’s relentless focus on musical perfection sometimes strains their connection. When Tae receives a provisional invitation to join RAISE A SUILEN, their friendship weathers new pressures, revealing Rei’s unwavering commitment to her art amidst the push-pull of camaraderie and ambition.

Offstage, Rei unwinds through steaming baths and culinary experiments, favoring honey-sweetened hot milk over bitter coffee and avoiding sea cucumbers entirely. The disciplined Capricorn, born January 13, channels her ambition into every endeavor. While collaborative concerts and cross-band projects demonstrate her expanding influence in the music scene, RAISE A SUILEN’s artistic progression consistently anchors her priorities.

Chibi-style escapades in GARUPA☆PICO FEVER! cast Rei in whimsical collaborations with rival bands, proving her poise translates even to slapstick scenarios. These playful crossovers underscore her versatility without diluting the quiet determination defining her essence. Though multimedia portrayals trace her growing openness to collective creation, Rei’s compass always points toward sonic innovation and unified artistic breakthroughs with RAISE A SUILEN.
