BOOK 1: LOVE, YUMI
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t know me, that\u2019s okay. There were many days I didn\u2019t know who I was either\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

My name is Chiharu Morita. Of course, that is the name on this blog, so that is who I am. To hear Chi-chan makes me happy.<\/p>\n

The Chiharu you know is only a shadow. Yes, I was in a group called Butterfly Tops. Now I am a composer, the person responsible for some of the pop songs you hear on the radio.<\/p>\n

Those aren\u2019t the reasons you know me, though. You know me because of YUMI.<\/p>\n

Yes, that YUMI. The eponymous one. I don\u2019t need to tell you who she is. She\u2019s the woman who comes into your living room every night on dramas, music shows, and radio request lines.<\/p>\n

Yumi, as you may know, is my childhood friend. We grew up together in a little town called Seki in the middle of Japan. We graduated high school and went to audition for a new girl group they were creating. The rest is history.<\/p>\n

For you, anyway. For me, I still breathe this every day. Because I love Yumi. I have since I was a young girl too stupid to know the words for what I felt.<\/p>\n

This is my confession. This is the story of not only me, but Yumi too. Of how we left our town and became household names. Of how I fell in love with her and did everything in my power to protect her from the evil in this world. I did not always succeed.
\nI will not rest until you know the truth. All the lies the agencies and labels tried to make us spew will be known.<\/p>\n

Maybe this will mean the end of what career I have left. But I don\u2019t care. If I don\u2019t tell this story, I won\u2019t know who I am anymore. I want to be more than \u201cthe girl who loved Yumi,\u201d and yet it\u2019s the only identity I can ever remember having.<\/p>\n

For better or worse, let us begin.<\/p>\n
