The $^{12}$N and $^{13}$O radioactive beams were produced through transfer and fragmentation reactions of aprimary 135~MeV/nucleon $^{16}$O beam at RIKEN. For the $^{12}$N-dissociation experiment, the radiative width of the 2$^-$ state at $E_{\rm{ex}}$=1.19~MeV in $^{12}$N was extracted to be $\Gamma_{\gamma}$=29.0$\pm$4.1~meV, the accuracy of which has been much improved compared with earlier studies. For $^{13}$O, large E1 strength was found for the first time at around $E_{\rm x}$=2.5~MeV. By the present study, the accuracy of the low-energy photo- capture cross sections for $^{11}$C and $^{12}$N have been improved, and reaction rates are now calculable based on more reliable experimental informations.
