* ElegantGothicLolita: She was a fan of the aesthetic and has named it as a big influence on her music. Her being a fan of Evanescence as said above was likely not a coincidence.

* ImageSong: Given her custom of reading the series' original material before writing the song, she stated she often unconsciously empathizes with certain characters in her head.

* PassingTheTorch: In a way, her relationship to Mami Kawada came across in this manner. They have a somewhat similar style, and they are both fans of writing their songs only after reading the manga or light novel in question to get inspired. Kawada's star career went from 2005 to 2016, while Kurosaki's started in 2010.
