Masami Seki, professionally known as Faylan (飛蘭, Feiran, born May 8, 1982 in Saitama) is a female Japanese singer. Many of her songs are featured in video games and anime. She is affiliated with management agency S, run by singer Hiromi Satō.

Her stage name was given by composer Noriyasu Agematsu. She is called "Feinyan" by her fans.[_citation needed_]

Faylan debuted as a singer in 2005 by singing an insert song for the game adaption of Girls Bravo. During her independent time, she worked as a doujin singer and released music through Comiket. She released one single, "Gekka no Rasen" (月華の螺旋), in 2007 under Hobi records label[1] before she was recruited by Lantis.

Her first single with Lantis was "Mind as Judgment" in 2009.[2] Since then, all her CDs have been released under Lantis. She is also signed with Sony Music Artists. Some of her songs were used as themes for anime series, including Canaan, Future Diary, Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and BlazBlue Alter Memory.[3] Several games in the BlazBlue series also used songs that she performed.

In 2009, Faylan contributed to a cover of the song "Imagine" in a group called "Anison All-Stars" in order to tackle world hunger.[4] In 2012, she performed in the United States for the first time, as she and Natsuko Aso supported JAM Project at the Otakon Music Festival in Baltimore.[5]

In 2016, Sato announced Faylan would be going on an extended hiatus due to an autoimmune disease.[6] This hiatus ended the same year in October.[7]
