1. As a child, I've always been addicted to the tv... 2. "I want to be an idol!" came to me. 3. Without knowing when it started, thoughts like "I want to be on 'the other side'" or..

1. Hoping to be desired by someone... 2. That is my only wish. 3. Although neither love, 4. Nor sex have been experienced, 5. I still long to have... 6. A mystery-filled romance. 8. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been infatuated with the "other side": the world of splendor. Yes, I wanted to become one of those glittering stars. And so, dream has come true. But, now... All I want is to be beloved by someone.

2. "480 yen please." 4. I secretly went to a neighboring town to buy a magazine on screen tests. 5. "Your change is..."

2. If I could appear onstage, everyone would probably be shocked. 3. Decided to be an idol. 4. Hence I...

1. "Ah... Good, good." 2. "That's very cute." 3. "That's it! That's it!" 4. "Just like that, look over here!"

1. "Good, try to do a slightly surprised expression next..."

1. "I'm sorry..." 2. Former idol. 3. Miyashita yukino. 18 years, and half a month old. 4. It's a bit embarrassing to mention since we weren't very popular. 5. Although I started my career at 15,

1. Many things happened after and within a year, I dropped out of high school. After that- 4. Eventually we broke up and went our own ways, 5. "No, no, I'm already-" 6. "Wouldn't it be better to go back to being an idol?" 7. "You're now an assistant manager?" 8. Was how I pestered my previous manager, and ended up in this current position 9. ""Serving tea or whatever, I can do that!""

1. This person... 2. Has apparently yet to notice himself. 3. "Sigh.. You really are cute." 4. "Thanks- it's okay." 5. "Do you want me to introduce a director to you?" 7. His wavering gaze, 8. They've been constantly looking at my breasts. 9. Since earlier... 10. Why are they all like this? 11. Men...

1. "Ah, there, that." 2. "Ah-" 3. "......" 4. "The restaurant in that building." 5. "Look there, that one."

1. "The one by the windows reading her textbook." 2. "Which one?" 3. "Ah..." 4. "Hm, what was it called?" 5. ""She'sn"?" 6. "I don't know-" 7. "See, she came back because they weren't popular at all!"

1. "So-called world of showbiz-" 2. "Hey, hey, miyashita's..." 3. "Perk up your ears and listen everyone, the next song playing is..." 4. "'metronome love'!!" 5. 'the period of being surrounded like the stars to a moon' was only but for an instant.

1. "It's better to say... They're really good!" 3. "The images from those rumors are really shocking."

2. "But... Just like that and she's considered an idol?" 3. "Metronome ca~n't st~op" 4. "A so-called third rate idol!" 5. "Yukino-tan is so moe~" 6. "Honestly, they are in fact very cute." 7. "But," 8. "In the entertainment industry, lots of men will try to suck up--" 9. "I've heard that..." 10. "But doesn't she feel any shame?"

1. "I really can't stand it!" 2. "Yeah~~" 3. "Being photographed while wearing skimpy swimwear," 4. "But it is tokyo after all. Seems like there's the desire to go back." 5. "A "Has-been idol" is still an idol, and showbiz is showbiz" 6. "That's true too." 7. "Wouldn't that be a mess?" 8. Having chats together... 9. Or studying together for exams and whatnots. 10. Our so-called relationship, 11. Is nothing but,

1. "That girl has always been precocious since elementary school," 2. "She even kissed someone at a shrine; my brother saw it with his own eyes-" 3. "Pretending to adjust her skirt and taking the chance to expose her thighs." 4. "For real? --" 5. "It was even said that she booked a room with matsuyama-sensei at a hotel by the national highway, is that true?" 6. "Those were only what you heard." 7. "My mom told me she came back because of an abortion!" 8. Enough. There is no way I would need... 9. These so-called friends.

1. With the blink of an eye, a year has almost passed since our separation. 3. Nao went to a dance academy, living each day to the fullest. 4. Like before, ai-chan still seems to be in "Unemployed mode" (Haha) 5. As for me, I am once again giving my all for the sake of my goals.

1. "............" 2. Boyfriend? (•ω•;) I've been so busy hanging out with friends that I haven't had the time to find one (+_+) That's all (haha) 3. Wow- It's been awhile, Mika-chan o(^-^o) (o^-^)o I've been living a very fulfilling life over here too~ ♪

"It's already the 3rd year. Be it laughter or tears, it's time to retire." 7. "Right now?" 8. "I am truly the 'spirit of badminton'!" 9. "Right now,"

1. Kamo-chan, or kamota-san, is from the neighboring class. 2. "Then, right now I'm 1.5x stronger than before." 3. "Oh, really?" 4. Kamo-chan has always been the 'spirit of badminton'. 5. "I'd have to worry about the end of the meet then." 6. "Ah, if that's the case," 7. She is the only one who would treat me indiscriminately, and also a very important friend of mine. 8. "Kamo-chan using up a lifetime of her energy then collapsing afterwards." 9. "Really?"

1. "Ah, it's not like that..." 2. "Eh?" 3. That's what I thought, 4. "Didn't miya-chan use up all of her energy once, and ended up not coming to school?" 5.

An empty heart is wavering softly, painfully. 7. To be able to fall asleep while sharing an embrace with someone, 8. Then to enjoy breakfast together, it must be blissful like that. 10.
