This was partly inspired by a hentai anime I once saw and it's not supposed to be remotely resembling our reality. As is the case with many stories across the centuries, the theme of this one is "pride goeth before destruction".

When the virus hit Japan, it was devastating to the economy just like all of the other countries that had been crippled by the disease. Citizens were told that it could be a year or more before there would be a vaccine and many sectors of employment quickly shut down.
For Komaru Yu, the crisis signaled the end of what had looked to be a promising career as a singer in the all-girl pop band, QT. All performances and public appearances were canceled for the foreseeable future.
"What am I going to do?" the petite young woman asked her manager. "I have no savings after my father's illness and funeral. I can't find a job."
The older woman, Anu Aoi, was a former model and singer herself. She gave her client a long look. At age twenty, the young woman had a lifetime of opportunity ahead of her. Yet, there she was, whining about encountering a minor bump on the road to her success.
"There aren't a lot of opportunities for a young woman like you right now," Aoi said bluntly. It was a ridiculous lie, but Yu was busy feeling sorry for herself and chose to believe it.
"Unless, perhaps, you are willing to consider escorting."
Yu blushed and spluttered, mortified at the idea.
"I couldn't do that!" she yelped, her face crimson.
Aoi shrugged. As far as she was concerned, a determined performer did whatever it took. She had never really felt the diminutive singer had given it her best effort.
"Too bad," she said with a smirk. "You'd make a great whore."
"Please, don't say things like that!" the younger woman pleaded, her growing even redder.
"Oh, please!" Aoi laughed at Yu. "We both know that you've essentially had your legs spread open for the last seven years. A lot of riders have passed through your turnstile!"
The petite pop idol winced at that.
"I chose to promote my career," she thought, feeling sorry for herself. "And that makes me a whore?"
"What about camming, then?" the older woman suggested. "That wouldn't require physical contact. You could do it from the comfort and safety of your apartment."
"Camming?" the pint-sized girl whined. "You mean, like topless stuff? That's so tacky and embarrassing! I'm not a pervert!"
Again, her manager shrugged.
"It's up to you," she said matter-of-factly. "How else are you going to be able to pay your bills?"
Yu felt like she was about to cry. She couldn't believe how quickly her life had fallen apart. Was her only option to strip off her clothes in front of a camera so complete strangers could ogle her naked body? When she was a teenaged gravure model, she posed lewdly in revealing, skimpy bikinis and she knew all too well that men all over Japan and elsewhere still used her old photos to masturbate. It had been humiliating, especially when she met her fans. The way they looked at her, their lustful stares made her shudder with disgust... and arousal. She had hoped she'd never have to do anything like that ever again.
"You could wear a mask and a wig," Aoi continued, pretending not to notice the girl's distress. "That way no one would know who you are."
It was another ridiculous lie that Yu once again chose to believe.
"I... I hadn't thought of that," Yu admitted. "Let me think about it."
In the end, the slender young beauty really had no choice. It was either go on camera and show off her naked body or lose her apartment and live on the streets. She knew the latter situation would put her in much greater peril. Aoi helped her set up the necessary equipment in her apartment and soon it was time for her debut.
For her debut, Yu had tried wearing a wig and mask as her manager had suggested. It was a disaster. So many young women were turning to camming as a means of support that the competition was overwhelming. The diminutive singer realized she had few options and reluctantly agreed to expose her identity online.
It worked. Instantly, the number of fans connecting to her camming account grew exponentially. There seemed to be hundreds of men (and a few women) who wanted to see pretty and petite Komaru Yu expose herself.
During her relaunched debut, Yu discovered to her surprise that she got a thrill out of having so many fans, even if they were mostly there to see her bare breasts. She learned to draw out the reveal, exposing her breasts only after teasing her watchers for twenty or thirty minutes before she slowly peeled off her top to show off her perky A-cup titties.
That strategy worked for about three or four shows. By the time she began her fifth show, her fans were demanding that she show more. Hesitantly, Yu stripped down to her panties, an act which seemed to mollify the horny subscribers for a few more shows. Naturally, as time passed, the calls for even more skin became so strident that the young woman admitted to herself that she would have to go fully nude. If she didn't, she feared most of her fans would abandon her.
