== Trivia ==
 
== 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.
+
*Her official Morning Musume image color is <font color=deepskyblue>light blue</font>.
* 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.
+
*She shares her name in kanji with Japanese actress [[Tanaka Rena]] (田中麗奈). To avoid confusion, Tanaka adopted hiragana symbols (れいな) for her given name when she joined 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 originally auditioned for Morning Musume during the [[Morning Musume Love Audition 21|Love Audition 21]] auditions for the fifth generation and was even featured on the [[MUSIX]] page. She is the only member to audition twice to get into Morning Musume. However, Tanaka was not old enough to audition at this stage, so she added one year to her age in her application, knowing she wouldn't make it very far. She made it to the training camp but was expelled after her mishap was revealed.
* She was the 1,803rd candidate out of the 12,417 candidates that auditioned in [[Morning Musume Love Audition 2002|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|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.

+
* Noted her favorite Morning Musume song to be "[[Renai Hunter]]" in a 2012 magazine interview.
* As seen in fellow 6th generation member [[Kamei Eri]]'s Love Hello DVD, Kamei bought her a wooden cat as a present.
+
* Has said that her favorite Japanese act is the band [[Golden Bomber]].
* 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!|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

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 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~.

Tsunku announced a new audition for young girls to be in a band with Tanaka in June 2012, searching for female vocalists and guitarists. The band members were announced on November 19, 2012 (vocalist Okada Marina and guitarists Uozumi Yuki and Miyazawa Marin), and at the same time, Tanaka's graduation from Hello! Project was announced. She graduated on May 21, 2013 at Nippon Budokan, on the final day of Morning Musume's spring 2013 concert tour.

Trivia

  • Her official Morning Musume image color is light blue.
  • She shares her name in kanji with Japanese actress Tanaka Rena (田中麗奈). To avoid confusion, Tanaka adopted hiragana symbols (れいな) for her given name when she joined Morning Musume.
  • She originally auditioned for Morning Musume during the Love Audition 21 auditions for the fifth generation and was even featured on the MUSIX page. She is the only member to audition twice to get into Morning Musume. However, Tanaka was not old enough to audition at this stage, so she added one year to her age in her application, knowing she wouldn't make it very far. She made it to the training camp but was expelled after her mishap was revealed.
  • 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.
  • Noted her favorite Morning Musume song to be "Renai Hunter" in a 2012 magazine interview.
  • Has said that her favorite Japanese act is the band Golden Bomber.
