SYNOPSIS
Eriko Tamura grows up surrounded by the music industry. Her father runs a major production company while her mother recovers from a devastating past as an idol singer. Everything changes when a car accident claims her father's life and leaves her mother unconscious. Suddenly orphaned and placed under the care of a family friend, Eriko discovers she must forge her own path through the entertainment world her parents once tried to protect her from. But pursuing stardom means facing her father's business partner, whose jealousy and ambition threaten to sabotage her every move. As Eriko trains and performs, she learns that becoming an idol requires more than talent. It demands resilience against those who want her to fail, unwavering determination when the industry chews up dreamers, and the courage to claim something for herself when everything else has been taken away. This series follows a young woman's ascent through the music business while personal tragedy looms in the background. It's a show about inheritance and rebellion, about finding your voice when silence feels safer.
