In 1995, Rie Fu her family moved back to Japan where she finished primary and secondary school. In 2002, Rie Fu learned how to play the guitar and soon afterwards, started to write songs and record them on a tape recorder.

The Music: Rie Fu made her musical debut on March 24, 2004 with the single Rie Who?! which peaked at #53 on the Oricon charts. Six months after her debut, Rie released her second single Life is Like A Boat. This song was the first ending theme to the anime Bleach and because of that, it increased her popularity as evidenced by the 32nd position it had on the Oricon charts.
Her first self titled album was released four months later and peaked at #12. For the past five years, Rie has sang many songs for anime and movies and even did a collaboration with m-flo on their Beat Space Nine album. She releases songs both in Japanese and English. Very few of her songs are entirely in Japanese. Her music is more on the light side and is the kind you would listen to when you need to calm down or have a relaxing day. Her songs are simple yet meaningful (as are her music videos). To date, Rie Fu has released 12 singles and 5 albums (one of them being a European release).
