It is a place where dreams come to life, where emotions are evoked, and where memories are etched into the collective consciousness of those fortunate enough to experience its captivating productions.

Which is why for an actress like Nakamura Ayame, it was a perfect place for her stardom to shine.

In the kitchen of a mansion she purchased not long ago, the 27-year-old stared at the morning newspapers and sighed. 

Once more, she has been photographed leaving an exclusive nightclub at four o'clock in the morning. It was the fifth time this month that her face had been splashed across the front pages.

Now, normally for anyone in her shoes, if one is to be caught leaving the club, and usually if there is general knowledge within the entertainment industry that an actor or actress is out filming a high-profile project, but then such news comes out of the paper, it would give anyone a bad name, that the person isn't worth working with because they ain't punctual in arriving to set on time to film. Most actors in their shoes would weep, thinking that their days as an actor or actresses are over.

But for someone like Nakamura Ayame, she was sad for a different reason: She wish this news was the no.1 trend.

Nakamura Ayame longed for her name to be the talk of the entire world. It didn't matter if it wasn't associated with something less substantial and less meaningful, she would do just about anything to get more attention. This is why many of the crew she worked with were surprised whenever she arrived on time to whichever set she is booked to film in.
