Biography:
CooRie was a Japanese self-produced two-piece music unit under record labels Mellow Head and Lantis consisting of the members Rino and Naoyuki Osada, where Rino would perform the vocals and do the lyrics, while Osada would do the composition and arrangement. About a year after they formed, Osada would formally leave the unit in 2003, which is also when they disbanded as a two-piece unit.

Rino decided to reform the music unit as a solo unit after Osada's departure, and has since been the sole member, who now performs the vocals, while also doing most of the lyrics and composition in the songs. When it comes to the arrangement, the unit largely collaborates with other creators, most prominently Kaoru Ookubo, who has made the arrangement for 19 of CooRie's songs between 2005 and 2015.
