At the very outskirts of Tokyo, stands a two-bedroom house that hosts an eight-person family.
<span class="mu-g">"I'm home!"</span> shouts Enatsu Mari.
<span class="mu-g">"Ah?"</span> shouts a voice from the kitchen, who then walks in the hallway as she's cleaning a plate.
Enatsu's mother.
<span class="mu-g">"Welcome home, Mari. How was work?"</span> she says, <span class="mu-g">"We tried to watch, but the video cut out."</span>
A great Pyrenees dog with a large, white coat lumbers into the hallway, tail wagging.
<span class="mu-g">"Hello, Hancho,"</span> says Enatsu as she pets the dog, then looks back up to her mother, <span class="mu-g">"Yeah, something with the camera, I think. They got it working later, but just to end the show."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Oh, I think I missed that then,"</span> says her mother, seeming ashamed, then smiles, <span class="mu-g">"Still, I can't believe my little girl was on TV."</span>
Enatsu blushes, <span class="mu-g">"It wasn't TV, mom. It was on the internet."</span>
Hancho, the dog, lazily plops onto the floor, then slowly rolls over onto its back.
Her mother looks lost in thought for a moment, then seemingly decides on something.
<span class="mu-g">"It's all the same to me,"</span> says her mother, <span class="mu-g">"Just another screen, but it went well then?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"I think so, yeah,"</span> says Enatsu, scratching Hancho's belly, <span class="mu-g">"At least that's what my manager said."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"That's good, then,"</span> says her mother, <span class="mu-g">"You better wash up and take a hot bath. Dinner will be ready soon."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Eh?"</span> says Enatsu, <span class="mu-g">"You mean...?"</span>
Her mother nods, <span class="mu-g">"We finally got the boiler fixed,"</span> replies her mother, then looks embarrassed, <span class="mu-g">"...Thank you again, Mari. You know you didn't have to, right?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"I know, but I want to,"</span> says Enatsu, <span class="mu-g">"It's everyone's money."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"No, it's your money, but okay..."</span> says her mother, <span class="mu-g">"You better hurry or it'll get busy. Your brothers will be back from baseball practice soon. Dinner after, okay? I made your favourite. To celebrate,"</span> she adds, <span class="mu-g">"The start of your career as an idol."</span>
Enatsu offers up a tired smile, <span class="mu-g">"Okay..."</span>
She called in sick to work the following day.
