Trivia

 * She and Tanaka Karen are the first Hello! Project members to be from Mie prefecture.
 * Miyazaki Yuka says Inoue looks like an adult, and her smile is cute.
 * Her favorite day of the week is Monday.
 * She believes in Santa Claus.
 * She wants to sing "Hatsukoi Cider" by Buono!.
 * She has the same last name as NICE GIRL Project! Kenshuusei member Inoue Reon.
 * Her rival in Hello Pro Kenshuusei is Inaba Manaka. Of course because they're generation-mates, but also because Manaka's singing and dancing both stand out among all the KSS. She has a lot of cuteness and is idol-ish, which Hikarun doesn't think she has much of.
 * Tsunku's lyrics resonated with her and so she wanted to become a part of the Hello! Project.
 * The rhythm is most difficult for her. She can't get the hang of it and perform the details well, so that's where she has to work hardest to improve. Even when she gets the song down and thinks she's memorized it, once she starts dancing, she forgets it. During the rehearsal, she stopped singing halfway through.
 * Hello! Project is very strict. The teachers get angry a lot and she has a difficult time preparing for everything, but it's so much fun and makes her happy to perform at Nama Tamago and see people supporting her, so she wants to continue her activities in the program.
 * She really admires Tsugunaga Momoko. Earlier at a play, she saw her singing and she looked so cool that Hikaru started crying. Her admiration for her and desire to be like her makes her want to put forth more effort into singing and dancing and hopefully debut someday.
 * She doesn't know if she can debut soon, but in the future she'd like to debut in any way possible, be it in a new unit or Morning Musume or anything else.
 * Tsunku's comments: " I want to teach you more strength in dancing. I definitely want you to work on smaller muscle movements to get the rhythm down. Singing is on the next floor up. Start with the rhythm first.  "
