- She was nicknamed the "Audrey Hepburn" of Takarazuka.
- Remains very close to her former top star partner, Aika Mire. When Midori married in 2003, Aika returned to her otokoyaku days to give Midori away at the wedding; in 2011, Midori guest-starred in Aika's dinner show; in 2012, they performed a duet dance at a Takarazuka Memorial Concert (in her blog, Midori called Aika her "sun").
- Won the "Avex New Star Cinema Award" in 2009 for her performance in, "Nen Nen Sai Sai" (「年々歳々」).
