• One of the four Cosmos Troupe members to be featured in the 2006 Young Star Guide (Musumeyaku Edition).
• Arisu labels herself a "health freak" (kenkou otaku); she loves healthy foods, believes health is the most important thing for a person to have, and fears sickness and injury over anything else.
• 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.
• 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.
• The first live Takarazuka performance she saw was Snow Troupe's Natasha of the Rainbow / La Jeunesse!. Even after entering Takarazuka herself, she has remained a great fan of Aran Kei.
