• Her first live Takarazuka show was Higher Than the Sky of Paris.
• Has portrayed a character of Rudolph two times in different shows, in Elisabeth and Mayerling (similarly to Wao Youka). This role is important to her, and she reread the notes she made about him nine years later for Mayerling.

• She played a lead role twice in Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern, before and after her Top Star debut, and treasures this performance a lot. She started and ended her Dinner Show expression! with songs from it.
