Fans chanting your name, makeup artists and stylists swarming you and creating a beauty out of this world, your music playing on tv, and most of all, becoming someone's paradise...that's what Ishihara Minami had wanted since she was 12 years old.

An avenue to someone's healing process, a comfort to those who needed it, all the while looking like a princess and being loved by many. It sounded like heaven. It seemed like thousands of girls just like her managed to live out this dream that seemed so far it almost felt like it was made-up. They made it look easy....but who knew it would be so hard.

With so many people out to get you and willing to use you as a stepping stone, it seemed impossible to stay genuine in such a place. The road to her dream of becoming an idol that was filled with a roller coaster of emotions and constant lies, even she wonders if this dream will ever come into her grasp. 

"How far are you willing to go?" 
"I'll do anything."
"Just like they did to you?"
"No....I'll do it better than all of them combined."

Your Paradise: Listen To My Song

Freezing temperatures caused Minami and Yuu to shiver violently as they buckled in their seatbelts, their clothes providing little to no protection from the cold weather. Snowflakes quickly fell onto the windshield as Yuu started the car.

"Here." He reached behind her seat and pulled out a blanket, tossing it to her before turning on the heater.

Minami quickly bundled it around herself, pulled it all the way up to her neck and burying the lower half of her face into it's fold. "W-w-warm~"

"You did well today, I don't know how you managed to work like you did in this weather….in THOSE clothes." Yuu kept his eyes on the road, wiggling his fingers against the steering wheel in an attempt to warm them up somehow.

Minami nodded, "F-f-freez-z-ing…."

He glanced over at her, concern setting in. "Are you alright?"
