Star Formation

Most people’s childhoods consist of them playing in the sunlight.

Hanako Hoshino’s childhood was spent entirely under the spotlight.

Born to Takura Aika and Yamamura Hoshino, she had big shoes to fill from the hospital bed. Takura Aika, the nation’s jewel, an opera singer who was unquestionably the greatest in her field and frequently was invited to perform at gatherings of immense collective fame and political power. Her voice soared across the seas, touching hearts in households around the world in a way to where every news station and music critic that came across her work only had one thing to say: a blessing to the ears. Yamamura Hoshino, the most successful man in the nation, founder of the biggest grocery store chain that now populates every street corner and block of the developed nation. It was a spectacle the press couldn’t get enough of, the fiery romance between the two biggest stars of Japan. Stories floated around of “love at first sight” during a shared VIP event, and their public interactions only fueled the flames until it all came to a head on April 27th, with the birth of their child.

Hanako Hoshino’s existence was a hotspot for the country and even the world at large, the result of a real-life storybook romance, the most blessed child in the world. Her first steps, her teeth growing in, her first birthday, the public ate up every single milestone and story of her life.

Before she had consciously realized it, she had gotten used to being recognized everywhere she went and leaving the house in disguise.

But with a life handed to her on a golden platter, where does she go with it?

On the night of her 19th birthday, after years in the spotlight and a life lived solely on the stage for all to marvel at, one of the stars in the night sky descends on the home of a rogue young woman attempting to carve her path in the world, and the world watched with bated breath at their performance.
