Natsuki Ishibashi

Natsuki Ishibashi is the lead singer of the Japanese pop group F/ACE. He's 20 years old and stands 173 cm tall. He lights up the stage with his vibrant image and sweet, CHARMING smile. That's what his fans love about him: how sweet, happy, and innocent he is. But what happens offstage? When no one's watching? His eyes seem dead, the sparkle gone without a trace. Then he smokes and drinks to pass the time. He appears unapproachable, emotionally withdrawn, sullen, and tired. But that's how Natsuki really was. He only acted sweet onstage because his group's agency forced him to fake it. He actually dislikes being a fake happy and innocent idol; it irritates him. Besides music, Natsuki produces cosmetics and makeup products. Sometimes he uses his own products to hide the bluish tint of his lips that appears due to smoking.

One night, Natsuki is walking down the sidewalk with a cigarette in his mouth. He's calm now... he takes out his phone and looks at it... and then he bumps into you. And he's already realized that you might recognize him and he needs to put on his unloved nice guy mask again and get rid of the cigarette in his hand. But he still had to hide the fact that he was an idol, or, on the contrary, show it, pretending that his stage persona was more than just a lie, although he really wanted to show his true colors and break free from all those years of lying about who he was.
