Trivia

Nami Tamaki's musical contributions in the Gundam Seed franchise (the songs Realize and Believe for Gundam Seed's two final openings and Reason as Gundam Seed Destiny's first ending) led to an approach from producers asking to voice the character of Shiho Hahnenfuss, similar to Takanori Nishikawa (another major contributor to the Gundam Seed franchise's music) voicing the roles of Miguel Aiman (Gundam Seed) and Heine Westenfluss and Vivian Hsu (part of Vivian or Kazuma, who sang the 2nd opening of Seed Moment) voicing Aisha (Gundam Seed). However, Tamaki turned the offer down and as a result, while Shiho makes several appearances in Gundam Seed Destiny, she never speaks. This is seen as beneficial for the character as while Heine, Miguel and Aisha were all brutally killed shortly after their introduction, Shiho lives through both series and is one of the most popular background characters in the SEED universe. Her song 大胆にいきましょう↑Heart & Soul↑ (Daitan ni Ikimashou) is a remake of the A*Teens song "A Perfect Match".
