OMAKE #3: The First Time [Asami's Past To Present Memories]…

The first time when I met Yuudai, he was living in a black and grey world. Even though he had smiled at me before introducing himself, that smile never reached those ebony eyes. I was scared of him at first. At such a young age, I wondered about the façade that was wrapped around his heart.

The first time when I had moved into the Saotome mansion to live with my uncle, happened after a week after the tragic deaths of my parents. Soon Yuudai moved into the Saotome mansion. Even though I had a roof over my head and Yuudai by my side, I chose to pretend that I was unaffected by the deaths of my parents. I didn't cry, for I knew that if I did, it wouldn't bring them back alive.

The first time when I was a trainee at Tokyo STARDOM Agency, I was had turned six years old. Saotome-san had told me, "Asami-chan juuust like yooour dear mother and father, yooou were booorn to do greeeat things! Being a siiinger happens to be one of the greeeat things that you're destined for!" For four more years, I was a trainee at the agency, but I still stayed at the mansion, since Yuudai had to tutor me in different academic subjects.

The first time when I had met Masato and Ren, it happened overseas in Italy when I was starring in my first commercial film. Everything was a lot brighter with those two around. Soon after, Yuudai began to take extra precaution whenever I would visit Ren at his household.

The first time when I gave away my first kiss to Masato, I only did it because it was on the day when I had to leave Japan to the United States. Attending another academy overseas, I was nervous. I never did say a proper farewell to Masato and Ren. Looking back on it, does Masato still remember that moment?

The first time I debuted as a singer, I realized that I still had a lot to learn about the entertainment industry. Most of the numerous academies for girls that I attended, most of the students only saw me as a 'idol' that they could fawn over.

~ The First Time… ~

The first time when I had met Chi, she became my best friend. A friend who never cared about the 'celebrity' side. But life just became crazier than before with her around.

~ The First Time… ~

The first time I fell off a chair, was when Chi's uncle told me that I had been placed in a band as the leader singer. Aside from the fact that I was the only female in the band, all of us were only given a year and a ½ for training. The pressure was on.

The first time that I co-starred with Hyuuga-sempai in one of his movies, it was only a few months after I had released my second single. The other members in EKSTASIS were doing they're own promotions. Being seventeen at the time I felt a lot more mature, but sleep was the last thing on my mind.

~ The First Time… ~

The first time when I fell into Masato's arms, my heart was beating really fast. Crazy doki-doki sensation. But I know it wasn't from shock.
