The idol industry in Japan is a paradox. On one hand, it is a world of glittering lights and dazzling performances, where young talents are put on a pedestal and worshiped by millions. It is a world of fame and fortune, where the lucky few who make it to the top are showered with adoration and riches beyond their wildest dreams. But on the other hand, it is a world of heartbreak, tragedy, and merciless competition, where every misstep can mean the end of a career and the shattering of a dream.
