As a child, Rina enjoyed singing for others, and put on shows for her mother. At the age of 5, she began musical training on the piano, becoming the class pianist for her kindergarten class and elementary school.
Rina made her debut on March 23, 2000, with the release of the single, "Close To Your Heart". She released three more singles that year, and her title "Koi wa Thrill, Shock, Suspense" was used as an opening theme for the anime series "Detective Conan". Her singles have since been used in other anime series, as well as video games. Her song, "CODE CRUSH", was chosen to be the opening theme to Capcom's Rockman X7. Rina's first album, "Be Happy", was released in 2001.
Rina is known for her wide voice range when singing, but her speaking voice is high pitched.
It was announced in 2010 that she would be retiring early due to health problems.
CODE CRUSH
愛内里菜 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
欲望が創ったこの世界で
何が本当で何が嘘なのか
分からない溢れる情報が
僕らを巻き込む僕らを追い込む
今日もまた僕は試されてる
悲しみに満ちた街の素顔など
人混みやモノで埋もれにぎわう
同じ様な顔して行く人の群れ
また誰か呑み込んでゆく
立ち向かおう
あらゆる愛わずかな願い握りしめて
僕は行くよ
こんな心渇ききった楽園の中
諦めとか最後に手をのばそうとする
君の前にせめて優しい光見せて
ともしつづけてあげたいから
誰かの心を温めたくって
言葉用意してもこの世界じゃ
何もが偽善に何もが意味無く
目のあたりにするんだ非力さを
失望をまとい眠る
夜を何度も知っては
それでもね
泣きながらも言い聞かせた
立ち向かって
越えてかなきゃいけないもの
それはきっと
怯えすぎた自分の心が
つくってしまう限界なんだと
そう皆自由と
幸せの権利を手にしてるだから
きっともっとってね僕を
動かしてかなきゃ
立ち向かおうあらゆる愛
わずかな真実握りしめて
僕は歌う溢れ覆う戸惑いみな
拭い消すように
混乱は増す時代の中
つじつまをね合わせようと
差し出された
その中へとはまってゆく前に
さあ CODE CRUSH
The lyrics of CODE CRUSH by 愛内里菜 talk about the overwhelming desire that the current world has created. The singer is uncertain about what is true or false, as the abundance of information in the world clouds their judgment. They feel trapped in the city, where they are just another face in the crowd, lost in the sea of people and objects.
Despite feeling helpless at times, the singer wants to take a stand and face the challenges head-on. They hold onto their faint hope for love and grasp onto any truth they can find. The lyrics depict a struggle to make sense of the chaos and confusion of the modern world.
Overall, CODE CRUSH is a song that reflects the struggle of the younger generation to find meaning and purpose in a technology-driven society that can often be overwhelming and confusing.

昔はCDが買えず歌詞などはTVで覚えていたので
カップリング曲をあまり知らないんですよね。
ということで初めて聴いたんですが
とても力強く、疾走感があって
ライブでは凄く盛り上がりそうな曲ですね。
最後の笑顔には自分もやられてしまいました！
反則級に可愛かったです♪
りぼんR
切ない出だしとラストのメロディー、力強く激しくなるサビが印象的。最後✨りかちゃんの優しい笑顔がサプライズ！！😌💕✨

As a Rockman X series fan I always loved this song alongside all the other Rockman X series songs, but there's a funny story here right now:
I always thought this video was a COVER of the opening, I didn't knew the name of the singer, then when I started to hear I got surprised that one is the REAL singer of the Rockman X7 opening LOL
Keep shining, you deserve A LOT! :D
LieMintPyon
bro, i thought the same, normally i would open the x7 thumbnail one. when i searched the video i was surprised "wow, someone is doing a cover of this song, how rare!" and then i listen and listen, i have a feeling of why does it sounded like the original singer, i thought no way it was true, must be a coincidence or something. then i read your comment and BAM i was surprised

I think everyone outside Japan have made the same mistake...

I have missed 2000st Japanese style song. Specially, CODE CRUSH stung my sensitivity. This made me feel excited and emotion which i cant express.
Now, It's long time to hear this song again. If Aiuchi Rina had lost her power of sing, I have still miss back. However, she still has a great skill and performance.
Thank you Aiuchi Rina to fulfill my emotion.
Abdouu :/
she had an disease in her throat that’s why she stopped music in 2010 ❤️ plus that’s a live without any edit that’s why it won’t sound like the studio version
あきちゃ
里菜ちゃんの歌は歌詞が本当に深くて素晴らしいなぁ。
大袈裟じゃなく本当に擦り切れるほどアルバム聴いてた。
また聴こう♡♡

From Vietnam with love, Rina Aiuchi, the first time I listened to this song when I was 13 playing Megaman X7, super nostalgic that every single time I listen and the images of Megaman X7 Intro showing in my head, still love this song in 2021
よし
歌上手いしどんどん綺麗になって
最高です
