Tanaka is well-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". She was also the leader of High-King and a lead vocalist in their single, "C\C (Cinderella\Complex)".

In early 2008, she was announced as the voice actor for Kirara, the main character in Sanrio's Onegai My Melody Kirara☆. In 2011 after fellow member Mitsui Aika was put on rest for an injury, she took over the role of Osamu Tezuka in the 2011 Morning Musume stage play "Reborn~Inochi no Audition~".

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, though 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.
  • 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.
