Not long ago, Reina, together with her mom and little brother, they went to Donki Houte and suddenly, her brother had a craving for peanuts. Hence, they bought 500 grams of it. Although it was her brother that had wanted to eat the peanuts, when they got home, Reina wanted to eat it too, so she sat down with the trash can placed in front of her and started attacking the peanuts. Her brother joined in, sitting next to her, tossing the peanut shells into the same trash can too after some time. Her mom too, later joined in the peanut meal. With the 3 of them sitting together, enjoying the peanuts as they watched a variety show, laughing together, Reina felt a small happiness suddenly. Ever since Reina had joined Morning Musume, she does not get much opportunities to sit down for a meal together with her family or to even spend time together with them so she treasures these little moments of her and her family. As for Reina's dad, who is living alone in Fukuoka alone, whenever they return to Fukuoka, they will have a reunion meal.

Reina saw on a TV show that nattous are nice when mixed with butter. She tried it out. However, she threw in too much of butter and the whole dish stank of butter. She then added in some yukari and salt which resulted in a disaster.
Reina sings Rebecca's "Friends" often whenever she goes to the karaoke. She will like to sing Amuro Namie's "Body Feels Exit", Kudo Shizuka's "Mugon Iroppoi" and "Blue Rose" in concerts.
Surprisingly, when Reina was in elementary school, she would do her all her summer vacation assignments the moment she was given them instead of completing them at the very last minute. She would complete them even before the summer vacation starts and go around boasting about it.

Right after this episode of FIVE STARS Wednesday was aired, the fans did a good job in their clapping the next concert for Reina's "Heya to Y Shatsu to Watashi" solo performance.

She could feel the unity of the fans and was moved.Tanaka Reina - Heya to Y Shatsu to Watashi ♪
Reina and Junjun went to Shibuya for a meal recently. Junjun is the kind who will want to eat a big variety of food when she browses through the menu. They ended up ordering some avocado dishes, tuna salad, tantan-men, onion rings, goya chanpuru and honey toast in a karaoke. No matter how you look at it, it just seems as though there is too many dishes for 2 girls to finish them all at once. Reina doubted that they would be able to finish all of them but it wasn't so for Junjun. Junjun confidently assured Reina that they would clear all of it. The half-convinced Reina sampled all the dishes before she started her mini concert in the karaoke room while Junjun sat there eating and watching Reina sing. As she was enjoying herself, Reina looked over to Junjun's side and realised that Junjun had ate everything. She was amazed by how Junjun does not leave any leftovers after a meal. Both of them had promised to go for another meal of avocado and vegetables and Reina is already excited about the trip because together with Junjun, she gets to try out different dishes without having to worry about not being able to finish everything.
After the meal, they still had some time left so they went shopping. When they were in a store that sells accessories, a pair of heart-shaped earrings caught Reina's eyes and she could not decide whether to buy it or not. She consulted Junjun about it and they concluded that she should not get that pair of earrings. After making their purchases and they left the store, Junjun gave Reina a bag (Shopping bag) and it was actually the earrings that Reina wanted. She was surprised and touched at the same time. As a way to repay her kindness, Reina got Junjun some nice nuts since Junjun is crazy over nuts now adays.
With that, Reina gave five stars to Junjun!
