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

Yuu stared in shock as Minami exited the salon.

Her long black hair had been cut to rib-cage length and dyed to an ash brown with blonde chunks peeking out underneath.

The cut accentuated her facial features – which had improved since she stuck to a strict diet to improve her eating habits and maintain her stress.

Yuu's stared deep into those big brown eyes of hers, the life within them had almost fully returned.

This was the Minami he had met so many years ago and it was nice to see her back.

Yuu gently smiled at her, "There you are."

"What do you mean?" She laughed and tilted her head, "Did it take that long?"

He slowly shook his head as he chuckled, "No, not at all. How do you feel? Do you like it?"

She spun around for him, her hair flowing around her, "I love it! What do you think?"

A deep red hue colored his face, "I-it….it suits you very well."
