Rina Katahira (片平里菜) is a Japanese singer-songwriter from Fukushima, born on May 12, 1992. Working in J-pop and the singer-songwriter tradition, she has released music through Pony Canyon and built her profile on direct, emotionally expressive songwriting and a solo voice that keeps the focus on the lyrics.
Katahira remained active in 2026 with the single "愛するたびに," whose music video was released on March 14. Earlier that month, on March 6, CDJournal reported the final series of her "愛するたびに" release tour, with performances in Shinsaibashi, Nagoya, and Shibuya featuring band arrangements. Those shows highlighted a career that continues to balance new recordings with live performance, while her catalog stays rooted in clear melody, plainspoken writing, and an intimate delivery.
