   Summary

   It's 1987, and Rumi Hidaka is trying to survive as an idol.

    

   But how can she do that when she's faced with a career that's possibly on the decline, alongside more personal issues and a one-sided rivalry with a fellow idol that happens to share the same first name as her? And on top of all that, how can she also make it in this industry if everyone around her mostly sees her as a two-hit wonder?

    

   A.K.A the Rumi backstory fic I've been wanting to write since before I actually saw the movie.
