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 originally 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.
- During the fifth generation auditions for Morning Musume, Tanaka was not old enough to audition. She added one year to her age and lied about how old she was, but she knew she wouldn't make it very far. She made it to the training camp but her true age was revealed and she was expelled from the audition. During the sixth generation auditions, Tanaka had doubts about passing the audition due to her previous mishap, but nevertheless, she ended up as a sixth generation member of Morning Musume.
- She was the 1,803rd candidate out of the 12,417 candidates that auditioned in Morning Musume LOVE Audition 2002.
- 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.
- 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. Their names are King, Neo, Chea, Peach, and Ruby. King is the only cat that has been shown on TV.
- 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.
- When she was younger, she performed Minimoni's "Minimoni. Jankenpyon!" with a group of friends in a school talent show.
- She stated that "Shabondama" is the song that gives her energy in concerts and "NATURE IS GOOD!" is the most suitable song for herself.
- These are her opinions of the characters of the other Morning Musume members:
- Takahashi Ai: Serious.
- Niigaki Risa: Secure.
- Kamei Eri: Soft.
- Michishige Sayumi: Cutesy
- Kusumi Koharu: Kirarin-chan
- Mitsui Aika: Cheerful.
- Junjun: She talks fast.
- Linlin: She's like a Japanese doll.
- These are the other members' opinions on Tanaka's character:

- Kamei: Fastidious about everything.
- Michishige: Pure.
- Kusumi: Knowledgeable

- Linlin: Esthetic
