Since its forming in 1992, the distinct song writing style keeps rousing keen rock fans
who fed up with major Karaoke-rock, while inspiring fellow and follower musicians such as
Number Girl, Hidaka from Beat Crusaders,Condor44, etc.
Cornelius and Ian Masters (ex.Pale Saints) were so lured by her music that released her stuff from their labels, Trattoria and Friendly Science, that result in good chart actions and total sales of 22,000 copies.
Luminous Orange consists of Rie--singer, guitarist & songwriter, supported by reliable fellow musicians.
Layers of delicate female voices with glittering,sometimes harsh guitars & synth on aggressive rhythms with hints of bossanova ,electronica, classic impressionism. It dazzles!!
Chosen as a performer for Colette's millenium party in Paris, CMJ Music Marathon 2001 & 2004, SXSW2006 and SXSW2007!!
Rie also sang on a couple of tracks of Ian Masters' Friendly Science Orchestra, the single "Miniature Album"was selected as Single of The Week of NME. Ian also sang on Luminous Orange as a guest vocalist, for a couple of times.
