Reimy, (Reimy Horikawa (堀川麗美 Horikawa Reimi?), born 6 January 1965, Ginowan, Okinawa, Japan) is a Ryūkyūan singer-songwriter. She is a younger sister to Mayumi Horikawa (堀川真弓 Horikawa Mayumi?), Clarion Girl of 1978.
On January 1, 1984, a photograph of Reimy in the possession of the sister caught the eyes of an agent for Masataka and Yumi Matsutoya (松任谷正隆・由実?); Reimy consequently had the Matsutoyas' full backing for her debut album. Eventual soundtrack and CM music management under the name Remedios (レメディオス?) began 1993.
Reimy has collaborated with Japanese movie producer Shunji Iwai (岩井俊二 Iwai Syunji?) on several soundtracks.
