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."

However, he believed he could make it look quality for a low budget.

They would shoot the album cover at the music video shoot, which he would take the photo himself to save money.

In addition to the title track, "Tree of Tears", they'd also release a new version of Milky Way as the B-side.

There wasn't enough in the budget to create physical copies, so they'd have to stick to a digital release.

Today, however, they would be recording for "Tree of Tears".

Minami chewed her chopsticks nervously as she watched Yuu shovel food in his mouth.

It took him a few moments before he realized her gaze was focused on him.

"Did we really have to do this so early?"
