Profile

History

Tanaka Reina was selected from the Morning Musume LOVE Audition 2002 to join Morning Musume as a member of the sixth generation, along with Kamei Eri and Michishige Sayumi. She first appeared on the single "Shabondama" and her first studio album was Ai no Dai 6 Kan. In 2003, she was the leader of the one-shot Hello! Project unit Aa!, along with Natsuyaki Miyabi and Suzuki Airi.

Tanaka is known for being the lead vocalist on her debut single. She sang a solo version of "Memory Seishun no Hikari" on the fanclub special Best Shot Vol.4. Since being the center position for "Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii Jan", Tanaka has gotten several solo lines in songs, and she gradually worked her way up to being one of the lead vocalists in such songs like "Mikan" and "Resonant Blue".

In early 2008, she was announced as the voice actor for Kirara, the main character in Sanrio's Onegai My Melody Kirara☆.

Trivia

  • The kanji characters for her name (田中麗奈) are the same as the ones for the Japanese actress Tanaka Rena. To avoid confusion, Tanaka adopted hiragana symbols (れいな) for her first name when she joined Morning Musume.
  • She initially auditioned for Morning Musume during the Love Audition 21 auditions for the fifth generation members and was even featured on the MUSIX page. She is the only member to audition twice to get into Morning Musume.
  • In her first audition for Morning Musume, according to the rules she wasn't old enough to audition. Tanaka lied about her age, adding another year to it because she didn't believe she would make it very far. She made it to the boot camp but her true age was revealed and she was expelled from the audition. Before her second audition, she believed they wouldn't take her because of her lying mishap but tried out anyway and became a 6th generation member.
  • Tsunku said she was the closest to being a perfect Morning Musume member.
  • Tanaka has always had the reputation of a yankii (a rebel) since her first audition for Morning Musume, when she had blonde hair. The fact that she also wore shirts with skulls and dragons, and had a tendency to wear a lot of purple clothing, also furthered this yankii image with fans.
  • She is known as one of the most fashionable members of Morning Musume.
  • Around the time of her debut, purikura photos surfaced that showed her devotion to the boy group FLAME. Rumors went around that she had only joined Morning Musume so that she could become famous and get recognized by FLAME member Izaki Hisato, her crush (based on something that Tanaka herself wrote and made it on the web).
  • Niigaki Risa is the one who chiefly calls her "Tanakacchi."
  • Iida Kaori was the first to use "07" to refer to Tanaka (in an episode of Hello! Morning where she wrote her "07" on a flip card to identify Tanaka in a guessing game). Since then, "07" had been printed on her sleeves in some concerts, and other members such as Yoshizawa Hitomi and Fujimoto Miki have used "07" when writing.
  • Has five cats and one of them is named "King".
  • As seen in fellow 6th generation member Kamei Eri's Love Hello DVD, Kamei bought her a wooden cat as a present.
  • In a 2004 interview, she said that her rival was Goto Maki. But she explained further that she just wants to become like her.
  • In a 2008 episode of Music Fighter, she claimed to hope to become Morning Musume's leader.
  • She, along with former Taiyo to Ciscomoon member Kominato Miwa, are the only two Hello! Project members to come from Kyushu.
  • TV announcer Saito Maiko is a big Tanaka Reina fan.
