Her recording career began in 1990; since that time, she has continued to record regularly, racking up a respectable chart performance in the process. At first, she was considered merely a speck in the vast sea of Japan's prefabricated teenybop idols; but as she came to develop and write more of her own lyrics (and, on occasion, her own music), she gained a growing reputation as a more serious musical artist. From the beginning, her music was often more guitar-driven and rock-oriented than the majority of female pop singers in her country.

Ruriko's later work displays a superior grasp of black music, as well as greater range and depth in general, but she hasn't completely forsaken those flashy guitars. She appeared on the 1993 and 1994 broadcasts of Japan's popular New Year's Eve TV music show Kouhaku Uta Gassen [produced by NHK, and broadcast in Canada and elsewhere on New Year's Day as The Japanese Red and White Show]. She also has numerous other appearances on Japanese TV to her credit.
