- Was a fan of Makoto Tsubasa as a teenager and happened to receive a wink from her at her last performance, and decided that she would aim to stand on that same stage.
- Was also a very big fan of GLAY as a teenager, and talked about it during her Takarazuka entrance exam interview.
- Due to poor health, was absent during the Tokyo run of Side Story: The Rose of Versailles -André- / Exciter! on November 3rd, 2009.
