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."

The months following Minami's concert had been filled with packed schedules.

Her first concert had been a huge success. Fans had been posting about Ri's appearance as well as uploading fancams to their social media accounts.

Thanks to the buzz, media outlets also quickly picked up the story, telling of the endearing story.

'Avalon, who has garnered a lot of attention so quickly after her debut, along with her fans, was in for a surprise last weekend during her first solo concert. The singer revealed that she was a fan of the mega group 5year, and would often pretend to be a member while performing their songs in her room as a child.

After thanking everyone for making her dreams come true, she then went on to perform 5year member, Ri's, solo songs as a tribute to her favorite member. Little did anyone know, Ri appeared on stage to perform alongside her, marking Ri's final performance before her indefinite hiatus.
