Trivia

 * She got married in 1996 to the organizer of the 1996 Onyanko Reunion Event "Fuji TV Day."
 * She was her mother's caregiver after an illness in 2014 left her paralyzed and bedridden until her death in 2021. She now helps others in Japan dealing with aging family members that require elder care by speaking on TV and radio, writing educational books, and working as a guest lecturer in universities.
 * She tried out for Onyanko Club because of the pay and the potential to win a trip to Hawai'i. Ironically, when Eri went to Hawai'i with Onyanko Club in late 1985, she was sent home early due to a severe case of pneumonia that required hospitalization.
 * Her father suddenly passed away in December 1985, just weeks before her solo debut.
 * Her closest friends in Onyanko Club were Nagata Ruriko, Nakajima Miharu, and Fukawa Tomoko. In the modern day, she is friends with Ikuina Akiko, Yamamoto Susan Kumiko, and Okamoto Takako.
