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

Filming for Kiss in the Clouds was almost complete, and it had gone anything but smoothly.

Minami's relationship with Aoi had become strained since their date at the club.

He'd tried to explain that he wasn't doing anything to her and that his actions were completely innocent, but Yuu only scolded him for allowing her to become that intoxicated in the first place.

Minami didn't want to see him romantically again after that either, so things had become awkward.

During filming scenes together, Aoi, being the professional he was, didn't let it affect his performance, but Minami had struggled.

She couldn't wait until filming was completed so she didn't have to be around him anymore.

On top of that, she'd been sabotaged over and over again.

Her shoes had been a size too small, she was sent to the wrong sets, given the wrong scripts and had even had her costumes torn.
