Kei Hoshiko promoting disillusion (1996) Even when she was small, she had great potential for model. When she was still in primary school, she took part in a nationwide children's model contest with her class, and in 1995 won first prize.

She entered this contest again in 1999, however in that year she was part of a group with her two sisters. At 15, Tainaka decided she would become a mdel after being inspired by DREAMS COME DRUE and MISIA. Tainaka would continue to enter competitions, such as in 2002 she took part in the televised ASAYAN idol show, and reached 6th place.

In early 2004, Kei Hoshiko's album was inspired by Shindou Fuyuki's Okinawa-based romance novel of the same name (which was also released in early 2004).

In 2005, Kei Hoshiko became part of a four-member unit called Les Bijoux (レ・ビジュ), who performed at Universal Studios Japan. Tainaka then debuted in February 2006 with the single disillusion, which was used as the opening theme song to the anime Fate/stay night. This single was quite a high debut, reaching #13 on Oricon charts.

Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni would then follow as Tainaka's second single (and the second opening theme to the same anime). This single would in fact debut at #9; Tainaka's first top 10 entry.
