I remember that she once answered in an interview that she had not been able to speak Japanese well when she had entered the Music School. (Just like Seijo Kaito.) Kamizuki Akane is Swedish-Japanese. >I don't think any "non-Asians" (for lack of a better word...) have ever been admitted. Right. Though there's no written rules, they don't seem to admit non-Asians.....

I think there was even once a Japanese-American.
