a member messaged me that i misundstood his name on my post.
apparently, he is a famous musician in japan as a member of TAO and EUROX.
plz see this(http://vgmdb.net/artist/11032), his name is henri sekine. but japanese hiragana せきね あんり is written as 'sekine anri'.
so many info sites shows his name is 'anri', the sites where his name is written as anri is much more than those as henri.

check this radio.

download link is here. (http://goo.gl/i8vVeY)
this is a radio program of 聖闘士星矢 THE LOST CANVAS 冥王神話 RADIO小宇宙通信 #03 (Guest - 関根安里) broadcasted on 2009.06.25.
check 4:45 and 18:42. he is introduced as sekine anri.

i even know that in japan if a woman gets married, her family name would be changed to his husband's family name. but 関根安里 is a man....

how should the earth i read his name?
if henri sekine is right, せきね あんり in http://vgmdb.net/artist/11032 should be fixed to せきね へんり.

Going by his Twitter it seems he prefers to write his name as Henri, so it's fine to use it. Unless he's actually credited in English as Anri (like here on track 7), in which case you should use that.

The reading (as in how you pronounce the name) is still Anri though so あんり is correct on the artist page.

It's likely based on the the French Henry with a silent H which is phonetically close to Anri/あんり.
