She began to release albums and singles, becoming one of the more popular seiyuus in the anime industry.

She was a part of the Hinata Girls in 2000, a group of seiyuu who performed songs from the anime Love Hina. Now she is an established artist, with several solo singles and albums. Horie has become known among J-pop circles for her elaborate concert tours, that combine her singing and acting abilities to create a storyline for each tour, complete with props, extras, and villains.
