Plot

Eriko Tamura is the chairman of Tamura Productions, a renowned music company and the only daughter of Minako Tamura, a former famous idol singer. Having had a talent for singing since birth, she has always loved her parent's media world. Then one day tragedy strikes when her parents get into a horrible car accident, which kills her father and leaves her mother in a coma. Now Eriko must take the path of singing, a path her parents did not want her to pursue. Things get worse when her uncle sets out to destroy her career. But in spite of all the hardship, she becomes an idol and wins hearts all over Japan.
