The role of popular heroine Multi the android in the Playstation version and anime adaptation of the classic bishoujo game To Heart helped launch a good start for Horie. The biggest turning point in her career was her role as the heroine Narusegawa Naru in the 2000 anime adaptation of the popular Akamatsu Ken manga series Love Hina.
Following the release of her first single, 「my best friend」 in 1998, she now has 19 singles, 10 studio albums and 2 BEST albums credited solely to her name. In addition, she is often associated with character and insert songs from the various anime projects she gets involved in, most recently of which are the opening and ending songs for the anime series 「Ｇｏｌｄｅｎ Ｔｉｍｅ」. Her songs are described to be generally "bright" and "cheerful" although some tracks have traces of melancholy as well.

The lyrics to 堀江由衣's song "Love Countdown" express the feelings of being in love and the excitement and anticipation that come with it. The repeated counting from 1 to 5 in the beginning signifies a jump into love, while the line "恋をしています" (Koi o shiteimasu) translates to "I am in love." The singer is eagerly looking forward to the next day when they can meet their loved one, as they count down the moments. The phrase "Makin' Happy ユ・メ・ミ・テ" could be interpreted as "Making Happy (when we) meet." This line emphasizes the joyful and thrilling emotions that come with being in love, as indicated by the use of "DOKI DOKI," which represents the sound of a racing heartbeat.
The lyrics also express a desire to be brave and overcome any feelings of shyness or hesitation in love. The line "1.2.3で臆病な 気持ち飛び越えたい" (Ichi ni san de okubyou na kimochi tobikoetai) means "I want to jump over the cowardly feelings with 1, 2, 3." The singer wants to show a different side of themselves, hoping that their love interest will see them in a new light. The phrase "Shooting LOVE!" reflects the forward momentum and intensity of love.
The lyrics convey a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the miracle of meeting someone special. The line "出会えたこと奇跡だと 伝えたいの" (Deaeta koto kiseki da to tsutaetai no) translates to "I want to convey that meeting you is a miracle." The singer recognizes the significance of their connection and wants to express how special it is. The repetition of counting down from 1 to 5 throughout the song symbolizes the continuous countdown to love and the anticipation of a future filled with happiness and excitement.
