She is also known to be kind and caring towards the members, especially the younger members. Before entering Keyakizaka, Uemura did not have singing or dancing experience, but throughout the years, she blossomed into a reliable performer capped by being designated as center in "Kimi wo mou Sagasanai" and "Mou Mori e Kaerou ka?" in the 2019 National Summer Tour and the Last Live.
