Evangelion: The Birthday of Rei Ayanami (エヴァンゲリオン THE BIRTHDAY OF Rei AYANAMI, Evangelion: THE BIRTHDAY OF Rei AYANAMI?) is the twelfth music album released relating to the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. As its title indicates, its focus is Rei Ayanami, one of the three primary protagonists of Neon Genesis Evangelion. The album features background music and instrumental tracks related to Rei's appearances in the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series and movies, and vocal tracks by her seiyu, Megumi Hayashibara, for the "Rei Ayanami versions" of certain songs related to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Birthday of Rei Ayanami was released on March 30, 2001 in Japan by King Records, Hayashibara's 34th birthday. Rei Ayanami's "official" fictional birth date however, is unclear.[1][2]. The Birthday of Rei Ayanami has only been released in Japan.
The album cover features an illustration by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the character designer for the series. The CD itself depicts the front portion of Rei's plug suit bearing the inscription 00, which refers to her designated Evangelion, Unit 00.
