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

Minami knelt on the bed and hugged one of the big plush bears that had been hidden in the corner of the room.

They'd been taking a few photos in her new outfit and she was finally starting to feel more comfortable.

After all, it was a professional setting, and it was also comforting having Yuu and Naoto both there, whom she trusted.

"Good! Good! You look so beautiful! Do you know how sexy you are?! These photos are so good! You're doing a great job!"

Minami felt a gush of confidence hearing the photographer's encouragement.

She laid the bear on the floor next to the bed, which the assistant promptly ran up to remove from view, and did a few more poses.

Naoto returned to the room and took his place next to Yuu.

Upon laying his eyes on Minami, his jaw dropped and his face turned into a deep red hue.
