I "found" about a year ago and I have been a fan ever since. She has such great sense of style and individuality. I love her blends of Blues, folk rock, pop, and whatever else comes to her mind at the time. Rei is a breath of fresh air in a very stagnate world. "lazy loser" and "what do you want (live)" are 2 of my favorites from this incredible talent. If you enjoyed this performance look up some of her other songs and videos, you will not be disappointed, I promise.

この子はまじの天才

[@keyo9717]

日本人にはこういうスタイルは受けにくいと思うよ。 人気になったらヴィジュアルの為だろうね。

[@moonoggin]

アコギこんな音出せるのはほんと震える

[@jonnykahle525]

Actually there is a message behind that video. She talks about beeing patient about things and her belif that it will turn out good for you if you manage that skill (Growth Mindset). She herself gives the best example for that belief (that guitar skill) ;)

[@zero-east-23]

エレキギターで弾くようなリフをアコギでやるところがかっこいい。しかしなんでＴＥＤ？

[@ambreenfatima5258]

Such a sweet voice and those strings 💜💜👍

Hells yea! What a seasoned and sweet sounding gitter.

[@Rodrigoinhell]

this girl is really amazing,reminds me Juno Carter

[@martinaandreozzi8510]

About the """""hate"""" comments: she is original, also she really loves her work, so why not? I think TED is especially for those people who express their opinion and ideas in a clever and entertaining way. I watched the entire video, she caught my attention. In my opinion this is what it should be about, but hey, feel free to think different!

[@AzlianaLyana]

I play her song with my acoustic guitar, over and over again, great songs.

[@paulsmith9341]

TED doesn't just let anyone on its stage. The stories are thoroughly vetted.

[@smooofer]

I became a fan from this video :D

[@donwhitmire978]

Great guitar!!!

[@user-cw7zz8mo3j]

これが噂のれいちゃんカッター！ 凄まじいカッティング

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Excellent

[@kcthewanderer]

I like it. Reminds me of Ani Difranco in her Evolve days.

[@storyhill22]

Loved this! What an amazing guitarist. To all the people who are wondering why this would be on TED, you must be new. One of the first viral TED videos was a guy throwing beach balls around the room because they looked like Mac cursors when you are waiting. You can tell stories in so many different ways

[@mllegoug8535]

[@pabojoe]

her music reminds me a lot of a young ani difranco

[@jaceygardenwray3413]

I wonder when she wrote that because I posted a picture of a black banaynay semi recently. I’m just going to believe I inspired this.

[@hanzd1438]

Reminds me of a Disney song
