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

The forest was in utter chaos as staff scrambled about setting up props and furniture in the small clearing.

Yuu was flipping through the storyboard pages with the camera crew, explaining to them how the scenes would be shot when Minami arrived in her hair and makeup, ready to film.

"Hello everyone! Let's work hard today!"

Yuu looked up from the pages as he heard Minami's greeting.

His heart skipped a beat as she smiled and bowed, greeting staff excitedly.

Her ash brown hair was lengthened with extensions, the blonde chunks accentuated with additional clip-ons. It was curled into a natural wavy look and had two lace bows dangling down from her temples.

The white lace and sequence dress was fitted perfectly to her body and came to thighs length. It was hanging off her shoulder and had flowing sleeves, which fit the ethereal, paradise vibe of the set to a tee.
