• Official Instagram

• Featured in the 2006 Young Star Guide: Musumeyaku Edition.
• The first live Takarazuka performance she saw was Snow Troupe's Natasha of the Rainbow / La Jeunesse!. Aran Kei played the shinjin kouen lead. Even after entering Takarazuka, Arisu remained a great fan of her and often attended performances / concerts by Aran Kei on her days off.
• From December 8 - 30, 2007, Arisu performed in an outside production — the Broadway musical All Shook Up, also featuring former top star Kozuki Wataru. Arisu played the lead female role of Natalie opposite Sakamoto Masayuki, a member of the popular music group V6.
• Due to Hizuki Hana's ongoing treatment for her injury, Arisu filled in for the lead female role of Kathy in Singin' in the Rain. Arisu often cited this as a role she would like to try playing, due to her great love of the original Gene Kelly movie. Watching it in her childhood is what first sparked her interest in tap, and she is reported to have had an easier time learning the "Good Morning" tap dance than either Yamato Yuuga or Ranju Tomu.
• In 2013, Alice announced her upcoming marriage and retirement from acting. As of 2018 she has at least 1 child.
