In addition to Cute's activities, Hagiwara briefly ventured into voice acting and played Hikaru Mizuki in the anime Kirarin Revolution from June to September 2007.[2] As part of the show, she became part of the in-show subgroup Kira Pika with Morning Musume's Koharu Kusumi[14][15] and released their only single, "Hana o Pūn / Futari wa NS" on August 1, 2007.[16] Hagiwara also released her character's version of the song "Koi no Mahō wa Habibi no Bi" for the soundtrack.[17] She made televised and concert appearances portraying Hikaru in real life[18] and appeared as a special guest during Kirarin Revolution's final concert at Nakano Sun Plaza on May 4, 2009.[19]
In 2009, Hagiwara, Saki Nakajima, and Erina Mano released the song "Kimi ga Iru Dake de" as Petit Moni V.[20] In 2012, Hagiwara released her first solo DVD single "Ike! Genki-kun."
