- When asked what group she'd like to join, she answered Morning Musume. When asked again later, she said that her dream was to join a Hello Pro Kenshuusei unit.
- She went to go see the Moshimo Kokumin ga Shushou wo Erandara stage play.

- She says that everything has gotten easier since she joined the program. She's progressed in singing and dancing and has gotten people below her.

- Tsunku's comments: "You’re still developing in dancing, so I want you to apply yourself more to getting down the fundamentals. If you do that both your singing and dancing will grow. You need to apply more and more delicate muscles in your rhythm. You have a character, which is good."
