RAG FAIR (ﾆ停?ｰﾆ丹ﾆ稚ﾆ巽ﾆ但ﾂー, RAG FAIR) is a Japanese male a cappella band. Its members are Reo Tsuchiya, Yosuke Hikichi, Kenichi Arai, Yoshiyuki Kato, Takamasa Kano, and Masayoshi Okumura. (Please note, names are given here in Western personal name - surname name order.)

They met each other at Saitama University. An a cappella circle named "chocoletz"(ﾆ蛋ﾆ停?｡ﾆ坦ﾆ椎槌鍛ﾆ団) was formed in Saitama University in 1997, and RAG FAIR emerged from this in 1999. They developed streetlives in those days around Oomiya Station and Musashiurawa Station.

In 2001 "Chikara no kagiri go-gogo-!!" a variety program affiliated with Fuji TV, the a cappella members of group "replica" (ﾆ椎槌致ﾆ椎?ﾆ谷) (where Masayoshi Okumura participated in those days) appears on the television show "Hamonepu"(ﾆ地ﾆ停?堡値ﾆ致). Also in 2001, RAG FAIR debut with album "I RAG YOU".

In 2002, two singles were released simultaneously, "koi no mileage"(窶氾ｶ窶堙姑筑ﾆ辰ﾆ椎陳ーﾆ淡) and "She side story"(Sheﾆ探ﾆ辰ﾆ檀ﾆ湛ﾆ暖ﾂーﾆ椎?ﾂー). Both singles were splendid achievements, snagging the first and second places, respectively, in the singles' first appearances in the Oricon Weekly Ranking charts. RAG FAIR participated for the first time in the 53rd annual NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen in 2002, performing "koi no mileage."

In October 2003, their comedy program "Omatase! RAG Teishoku"(窶堋ｨ窶堙懌?堋ｽ窶堋ｹﾂ！ﾆ停?ｰﾆ丹窶凖ｨﾂ食) began airing on Fuji TV, running up until March 2004. At the end of the program, the members announced a second "renewal" comedy program, entitled RAG&PEACE. This program ran for another six months in 2004.

A commercial for McDonalds "Fish Mac Dipper" aired in March 2004. It received the "McDonalds Excellent Advertising Award" for 2004.

They performed their first live at the Nippon Budoukan publicly on December 10, 2005, and they released the DVD "streetlive! in Budoukan".
