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

Naoto held Minami's hand tightly in his as they walked through Wonderland Gardens – the amusement park he'd promised to take her to while she was in the hospital.

'That stupid Yuu keeps trying to take her away from me. I have to make sure today goes well. I'll make sure she's mine and no one else's.'

Minami had been ranting all about Yuu as they had been walking through the park, talking about how great of a composer he was, how much she liked the songs he was giving her, his talent as a lyricist, and so much more.

"He says he doesn't like to write lyrics himself, but I think he's much better than I am. I'd like to take his lyrics as an example and try writing some like he does. I don't know how they'll turn out though, I'm a little nervous, I haven't written any in such a long time!"

Naoto stared down at the huge smile on her face, a soft one overcoming his own.
