While Studio Ghibli famously keeps their voice cast under strict embargo until release (and often uses live-action actors rather than professional seiyuu), Nanase was confirmed to voice a supporting role in the film’s ensemble. This casting was a major signal that the industry’s old guard—led by Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki—views Nanase not just as an "anime voice actor" but as a genuine dramatic performer capable of carrying the weight of Ghibli’s emotional subtext.

Alice Nanase's official debut under that name took place in September 2020, when she started her career as an exclusive actress for the prestigious AV label IdeaPocket, which is part of the Wanz Factory group. This initial phase of her career saw her produce five exclusive works.

In the world of Japanese pop culture, Alice Nanase is a shining star, captivating audiences with her talent, beauty, and infectious energy. With a career spanning over a decade, she has established herself as one of the most beloved and respected artists of her generation. As she continues to push boundaries and explore new creative avenues, fans around the world eagerly await her next move. Whether through her music, acting, or philanthropy, Alice Nanase is sure to leave a lasting legacy that will inspire and entertain fans for years to come.

Their interaction subverts typical anime romance tropes. Instead of being charmed by her, Gintoki challenges her authenticity. When she tries to play the "innocent girl" card, Gintoki responds with blunt indifference, creating a comedic friction where neither can gain the upper hand. It is a moment of Gintama genius: two "trashy" characters trying to out-trash each other while the crowd watches in confusion.

Before joining the AV industry, Nanase had a diverse range of experiences, including working as a livestreamer on live chat platforms. She was drawn to adult content from a young age, revealing in interviews that she was fond of erotic content even as early as kindergarten, and that she discovered and began watching AVs as an elementary school student. This early interest contrasted with her school years, where she disliked physical activity and often avoided PE classes.

In an era where seiyuu are expected to host YouTube channels, stream video games, and post daily selfies on Instagram, Alice Nanase is remarkably absent. She has no public TikTok, her X (formerly Twitter) account is managed by her agency for work announcements only, and she rarely appears on variety shows.

In her personal life, Alice Nanase is known for her kind heart and generosity. She has been involved in various charitable initiatives, including supporting organizations that promote education, healthcare, and environmental conservation. Her philanthropic efforts have earned her recognition and admiration from fans and the wider public.

While the crowd is mesmerized by her act, Gintoki sees right through it. As a fellow lazy, rude, and lazy-eyed freelancer, Gintoki recognizes a kindred spirit in Alice’s dead-eyed cynicism.
