As a child, Tanaka took singing classes and garnered a great deal of respect by performing in a number of concerts. After graduating high school, she joined one of Tokyo's popular animation companies and took on singing roles for some of her characters.[citation needed] She is currently quite popular in Japan, having a fan club named Café de Rie. She is known to own a few animals, such as a kitten which is rumored to know how to play the PlayStation 2[citation needed], and also a puppy. She is not fluent in English. Tanaka has released two albums: 24 Wishes, and Garnet but didn't gain much success. She released a character song collection album, Chara de Rie. Other CD releases are Club Rie-rie 1, Club Rie-rie2, and Rie Tanaka's 100 poems by 100 poets, which all contain voice samples.
