Rina (stylised in all caps) is the debut extended play by Japanese-British singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama. Also described as a mini album, Rina was independently released on 27 October 2017.[1] Sawayama funded the album herself, working for "2-3 jobs at a time for years" to save enough to release the EP.[5] Sawayama promoted the album through the Ordinary Superstar Tour in 2018.

"I felt the pressure to lie about my age in this industry but that would disrespect my journey !! read PPS at Cambridge age 19-22, then dealt with crippling mental health issues for years into my mid 20s, worked 2-3 jobs at a time for years until I could save up for the RINA EP" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
