Dreaming of Tokyo Dome

Tokyo Dome, a magical place where stars dream of performing for thousands of fans. It marks an important time in their career that tells them they're truly successful and have many supporters. This magical place has been at the top of Rina's list ever since she can remember. It holds a strong meaning in her heart. Tokyo Dome is a place she's destined to perform, or so she thinks.

Rina Fukuoda grew up in Omiya, Asahi. She's the eldest of three children. Her little sister Kumiko attends the Omiya junior high school and is already set on attending Kansai University, while their brother is still in elementary and enjoying his youthful days. In a few months, Rina will be graduating high school and is therefore encouraged to take the college exam for Todai (University of Tokyo). The decision to attend Todai was made solely by her father, who is himself a graduate of the university and is now Chief of Shirokita Municipal Hospital in Takadono. Mr. Fukuoda had high hopes that his oldest daughter will follow in his footsteps and study medicine like he did. However, his wife knows their daughter doesn't share the same sentiments as her father.
Often times she would hear stories from their neighbors while she's at the market. "Michi goes on and on about how Rina is going to be a superstar like Ayumi Hamasaki" said Mrs. Kitagawa. "She could become the next member of AKB48" said Mrs. Fujitsu. It became quite clear to Mrs. Fukuoda that Rina had no intention of attending Todai or any other college for that matter. She realized that her daughter's aspiration was to become an idol, but there was no way her father would allow it. He'd take her to the entrance exam if he had to. There's no way he would allow Rina to become an idol.
