Rie undertook a campaign to produce two separate albums titled 'I' and 'O' respectively, to commemorate her ten years since her debut.' The project's goal was that the first album, 'Inside,' stood for the word 'Inside,' and was written from musical inspirations from her years of living in Japan and Japan's Japanese music industry. The second album, 'O', was based on her growing Asian experiences, and was based on her experience. Placing the two albums side by side also created the image of the number 10 to celebrate and thank her followers for ten years in the industry.
