~~Los Angeles, USA~~
"Tsukushi! It is time for you to return to Japan!" shouted Mr. Makino.
"No! My life and career is here!" Tsukushi protested.
"Tsukushi, you are the heiress to the Makino Corporation," Mrs. Makino reasoned.
"Yeah, sis, the Corporation will go to you, because I don't want to be a part of it," said Susumu.
"Shut up, Susumu!" Tsukushi snapped.
"Mr. and Mrs. Makino, there is a guest to see you," interrupted their butler, James.
"That must be Katie," Tsukushi said. "She'll tell you that I'm not supposed to move,"
****
But instead...
"Mr. and Mrs. Makino, it's a splendid idea if Tsukushi continue her career in Japan, she's already famous over there," said Katie McDermott. "As Tsukushi's manager, I could supervise everything,"
"Ms. McDermott, I'm bringing my daughter back is not for her to continue her career, but for her to learn the ways of the business!" Mr. Makino snapped.
"Mr. Makino, your daughter has done well in the music and film industries, she is already at the height of her career," reasoned Katie.
"Not her, Ms. McDermott, but Aikawa Anna," Mrs. Makino said.
"Makino Tsukushi and Aikawa Anna is the same person, okaasan!" Tsukushi replied, calling her mom 'Okaasan' instead of the usual 'mummy'.
"Tsukushi, if we allow you to continue singing and acting, even if in Japan, would you like to return?" asked Mr. Makino.
"Will I sing and act in Japan, Katie?" asked Tsukushi.
"We could do an Asian tour, starting with all the Asian country and finish it in Japan," Katie answered, "But I'll talk to the boss first, and since you are already an established person in the States, I'm sure there won't be any problem over there,"
"Father, mother, I'll follow you to Japan, but you must allow me to continue my career," Tsukushi said.
"Ok, and Tsukushi, you must go to a normal school," said Mr. Makino.
"What????" Tsukushi shouted.
"Nobody knows that you are Aikawa Anna if you register as Makino Tsukushi," Mr. Makino said.
"Pick your choice, career or school?" asked Mrs. Makino.
"But I'll be touring!" Tsukushi protested.
"But not if the company doesn't say so," said Mr. Makino. "Am I right, Ms. McDermott?"
"Aah...yes," Katie reluctantly said.
"Career then," said Mr. Makino.
***********
~~The next day~~
Tsukushi was driven to the main building of Topper Records & Red Management.
"Pick me up when I call you, Jason," Tsukushi instructed.
"Yes, Miss Makino," answered the driver.
Slipping on her sunglasses, Tsukushi walked out of the car, and Anna Aikawa entered the building, and towards Katie's office in Red Management.
"Anna! I was just about to pick you up," said Katie, when she saw Tsukushi come in.
"I was just wondering about me moving, Katie," Tsukushi said.
"There will be a press conference, and the partner of Topper Records in Japan, Okawahara Records has agreed to 'take care' of you over there, with me as your manager, of course," Katie answered.
"And it just so happens that there's a Japanese Manga that is being adapted to film, the name is Ichigo Channel, you are going to sign a contract with Paramount Pictures, which had bought the Film rights from the manga creator," Katie continued. "Since the film is going to take place in Japan, you have to work with Japanese actors,"
"Why in Japan?" asked Tsukushi.
"Because the manga creator has specifically said to the director only to have an all Japanese cast, and since you are, technically, a Japanese living in USA, you are picked by the casting crew," Katie answered.
********
~~Press Conference~~
"We have heard that Miss Aikawa will return to Japan in a few days, why is this so?" asked a reporter.
"Miss Aikawa will be doing a film with fellow Japanese actors in a movie adapted from a Japanese manga, that's why she's returning to the States," answered Katie
"Thank you," replied the reporter.
"Miss Aikawa, are you not returning for a more personal purpose, aside from that?" asked another reporter.
"No," Anna answered, and smiled.
"Any more questions?" asked Anna's boss, Mr. Redmond.
"Miss Aikawa, will you go to school as a normal teenager in Japan?" asked a reporter.
"Perhaps, you never know," Anna answered, and gave another smile.
"Thank you," replied the reporter.
~~After the press conference~~
"I can't believe that your father actually force you to go home, Anna," said Mr. Redmond. "Thanks to the film offer, we could hide that fact,"
Anna sighed. "I know, but there's nothing to worry about,"
"Yeah, I'm joining Anna in Japan, Mr. Redmond, there's nothing to worry about," said Katie.

~~Half the world away in Japan~~
Or more precisely, Domyouji mansion...
Tsukasa's having a small party, where only the closest among his friends are invited, and that includes the F3.
"Guess who's going to return to Japan?" asked Shigeru.
"Who?" asked Tsukasa boringly.
"Anna Aikawa!!!!" Shigeru answered.
"Who?" asked Tsukasa again.
"Don't bother him with that, Shigeru, he won't know," said Mimasaka Akira. "He doesn't listen to English music,"
"I do!!!!" Tsukasa shouted. "I usually hear English music,"
"It's 'listen' and not 'hear', Tsukasa," corrected Nishikado Soujiro. "If you want to speak English, speak it correctly,"
"Shigeru, is it true? Aikawa Anna's going to Japan?" asked Shizuka.
"Yes, Shizuka, I heard it from my father this morning, apparently Okawahara Records and the recording company that Aikawa-san's in is having some sort of cooperation," Shigeru answered and explained, "It seemed that, during her stay in Japan, Okawahara Records will do everything that Topper Records usually do,"
"I wonder why," said Rui.
"Nobody knows why, Rui," Shigeru replied. "I watched the press conference, and her manager said that Anna Aikawa will be doing a movie based from a Japanese manga,"

~~Los Angeles~~
Makino Mansion
"Otoosan, Okaasan, I have already told my fans that I'm going to Japan, so, which school are you enrolling me in?" asked Tsukushi.
"Eitoku Academy, of course," answered Mrs. Makino. "You never know if you meet the son of the Domyouji Corporation,"
"Who's he?" asked Tsukushi. "Don't remember him,"
"You didn't remember because you weren't there when we were invited to go to the Domyouji Ball in Japan," answered Mrs. Makino. "You were off touring here,"
"Which school does Susumu goes to?" asked Tsukushi.
"I have been attending Eirin Academy, right now, I'm on leave from Eirin," answered Susumu. "We are more academically orientated, so, I don't think you'd fit in over there,"
"Nani mo???" shouted Tsukushi.
"The other reason, aside from your mother's absurd reason, why I enrolled you in Eitoku is because, the heiress of Okawahara Corporation goes to Eirin," explained Mr. Makino. "I don't want anyone to know that my daughter is a celebrity,"
"Oh..." answered Tsukushi.
********
The Makino family departed to Japan the next day, for the rest of the Makino family, except Tsukushi, it's just returning home after a month, for Tsukushi, it's returning home after a lot of years.
~~In the plane~~
"I think I should find an apartment for myself," Katie said to the Makino family.
"I think not, Ms. McDermott, if you live with us, you could supervise Tsukushi better," Mr. Makino replied. "The house is big enough to take in one more person,"
"Why do I have to wear this hair extensions and this glasses, Katie?" asked Tsukushi. "My hair is already long enough,"
"To disguise you," answered Katie. "You are going to school like a normal teenager, and didn't you read the contract two days ago?"
"Why?" asked Tsukushi. "I did skimmed through it,"
