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 sat slouched on Yuu's couch as he worked on her new song, scrolling through her phone as she waited.

"Do you feel relieved now that your promotional schedules are done so you can just focus on the drama?" Yuu asked while clicking around on his screen.

Her final schedule – a radio show – had taken place the night before, which officially concluded her promotions for her debut.

Minami pursed her lips, "It's bittersweet. I wish my promotions could've been longer, I wish I could've done more, but yeah it's nice to not have distractions or worrying about getting to my other jobs on time."

Yuu nodded, "I'll try to get more work for you next time, but, even with such limited activities, your sales are really doing well. There might not've been a lot but, they were ones that really counted."

"Yeah, and I'm happy, don't get me wrong, I just….heehee! Want to do more!" She giggled as she spoke.
