Fairouz Ai's works provide examples of:
- Promoted Fangirl:
- Fairouz is a diehard fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which introduced her to the world of manga and anime from discussing it with her friends via Skype calls. The first part she read was Stone Ocean, and she dreamed one day to voice the character Foo Fighters. Come 2021, and she's instead been cast as the main character Jolyne Cujoh — whom she also wanted to play and considers a long-time role model for her. As she said in an interview, translated by the ''JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia'' Wiki:Fairouz Ai: Jolyne Cujoh is the bravest, most beautiful, strongest, most loving, and most wonderful person I've come across. My admiration for her hasn't changed in 12 years. I'm really happy to be able to go on this bizarre adventure with her, and I'll put my life into my performance so that I can acquire the same "amazingness" as Jolyne through the recording process.
- She was a huge fan of Scott Pilgrim and has stated to not only have watched the 2010 film countless times, but to have also styled her hair in a similar fashion to Ramona's for some time. In 2023 she became Ramona's Japanese voice in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
