Asuka and Hachirou Takara owned one of the most profitable daruyama restaurant's in Tokyo with their five daughters. All five of their daughter's were in the acting industry, however only four of them worked for the same agency while the youngest decided to be part of a different agency. The oldest of the girls Kanae was a beauty with long jet black hair, the second oldest Kyoko had beautiful golden eyes and her hair was in a pixie cut and dyed to look almost like a golden amber colour, the third oldest Chiori was petite like her older sister Kyoko however she had been injured when she was a child actor and almost gave up on acting because of the incident but persevered with the help of Kyoko who could always see the positive in any situation. The younger two sister's Yuka and Mimori had that model like quality in their looks though Mimori tended to still look child like rather than mature for her age. When the girls had time away from work, they would assist their parent's in the daruyama which was not often as they were quite busy in their schedules.
"I cannot believe I am being nominated for the #1 female actress of the year," said Kyoko to Kanae and her best friend Itsumi momose while they were having lunch at the café LA Hearts at the LME office building.
"You are one of the best actresses out there it's no wonder you got nominated besides most people cannot believe how you can change from your regular self to the character you create for a particular role," replied Itsumi.
"I mean when we worked on Dark Moon together you totally surprised me with your version of Mio Hongo, that I had to work hard to make my character Mizuki my own that would be equal to your Mio."
Kanae was also in full agreement with Itsumi and stated that their younger sister Chiori always called Kyoko the immortal butterfly with perfect reasoning.
"I know, it's just weird being nominated is all you know how much I love acting but I don't always like being the centre of attention when I have to be just me," replied Kyoko.
Though Kanae and Itsumi were used to this when Kyoko tending to be down on herself it was part of who she was, they stilled everything they could to keep her from being depressed. Kanae suggested they go shopping for the awards ceremony which totally perked Kyoko up right away. So, the girls made plans to meet up later in the week when their schedules were free to go shopping. Once lunch was finished all three girls went their separate ways. Kyoko had to go to the set for Box R where she got to play the character Natsu along side her sister's Chiori and Yuka but they also got to act with the owner of LME's daughter Airi Takarada who was supposedly engaged to one of her cousin's who was also in the industry even though Kanae and Kyoko did not often work with him they did hear about him quite a bit.
"So, are you excited for the awards ceremony?" Asked Kyoko.
Airi replied "yes I am plus I get to see my cousin Tsuraga Ren and hopefully his little sister Maria will be with him. Though he tends to be very protective of her though I have no idea why."
"So how come we don't see Tsuraga Ren come to most of the award's ceremonies that have happened before even though he's been nominated, everyone knows he is the # 1 actor in all of Japan, so why does he never appear?" Asked Chiori.
Airi replied "my cousin tends to avoid the spot light as much as possible because he feels that everyone will criticize him."
"I do not think that is a good excuse to avoid most of the entertainment industry, I mean he has worked with most of the people in the industry including your father. He his part of LME and his manager Yukihito Yashiro is always the one who accepts those awards on Ren's behalf why is that?" Inquired Yuka.
"Well Ren is very private person and he and his sister grew up in America even being famous in his home country he still regarded his and his sister's privacy very much. My father is happy they decided to come here and live while he acts," replied Airi
"Didn't you act alongside my cousin in Dark Moon Kyoko?" Asked Airi
Kyoko responded that she didn't have many scenes with him, but she was impressed by how well he had portrayed his character Katsuki it was better than original. Just then the director called to them, so they could work on the scenes that were being filmed that day.
As the day wore on Kyoko pondered over what Airi had said about Ren. She realized even though she had met him on the set of Dark Moon she really did not understand him and was curious about that she was looking forward to the awards ceremony.
