==Trivia==
*The kanji characters for her birth 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.
*Tsunku has said that Tanaka is the closest to being a perfect Idol.
*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 was known as one of the most fashionable members in 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 posted to the web).
*Niigaki Risa is the one who chiefly calls her "Tanakacchi."
*When asked what part of her makeup she is most particular about, she said that it was her eyelashes.
*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.
*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 that she hoped to become Morning Musume's leader.
*She, along with former Taiyou to Ciscomoon member Kominato Miwa and the Morning Musume member Ikuta Erina, are the only three 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.
*There is a music video of Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, and Tanaka performing their audition song, Do it! Now.
*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:
**Takahashi: Hardworking.
**Niigaki: Ike Ike girl (does what she wants).
**Kamei: Fastidious about everything.
**Michishige: Pure.
**Kusumi: Knowledgeable.
**Mitsui: Osshaa!!!!
**Junjun: Wants/loves to win.
**Linlin: Aesthetic.

*After Mitsui Aika's graduation, Tanaka was the only member of Morning Musume to have an Ameba Blog until the 9th generation opened an account.
*Sato Masaki likes to call her "Tanasatan."
*She was the first member of Morning Musume who auditioned twice and passed the second time. Kudo Haruka was the second and Haga Akane was the third.
*She said the most embarrassing moment in her life was when she was out shopping and talked to a stranger for a long period of time thinking it was her mother.
*There was a rumor about her dating the Visual Kei artist Miyavi, but the press dropped the issue when Miyavi announced his marriage.
*She stated that she is very glad that Oda Sakura was added to Morning Musume. Her comment was  "Finally someone was added that has very strong singing capabilities."
*Reina stated that she usually hates when "little kids" cling to her, but she doesn't care when Sato Masaki clings to her. She considers Masaki to be a little sister and has a strong sisterly bond with her.
*She and Oda Sakura both say "station" is their favorite English word.
*Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago and Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~(No Solo Line for All Member) are the only Morning Musume singles where she doesn't have any solo lines.
