1
I'm Lisa.
2
On this stage, I go by the name Leo.
3
One half of the duo hailed as a phenomenon in the idol world.
4
But the truth is, I've been carrying a secret.
5
Something no one can ever know.
6
Something no one is allowed to discover.
7
And the price I've had to pay for this dream is hiding that truth beneath layers of makeup.
8
The truth is, I'm a girl.
9
Becoming an idol has been my dream since I was a kid.
10
And just when I was about to reach it...
11
The winner of today's audition is...
12
Miss Lisa, huh?
13
But right at the moment my name Lisa was about to be called,
14
I let it slip away.
15
That was the moment the hospital called.
16
They said my mom had been in a serious accident.
17
I couldn't focus on the results anymore.
18
I rushed to the hospital and begged the doctors to save her.
19
She's out of immediate danger,
20
but she'll need several more surgeries to recover.
21
The cost will be high.
22
Someone already paid half.
23
Who helped me cover half the cost?
24
I didn't have time to worry about that.
25
I needed to find the rest of the money quickly.
26
Luckily, a nearby gym was hiring janitors with really high pay.
27
The catch?
28
They only hired men.
29
Just be a boy for a while.
30
What's the big deal?
31
If I have to pretend to be a guy to save my mom, I will.
32
Luckily, no one figured out my secret.
33
If things kept going smoothly,
34
I could slowly pay off mom's medical bills.
35
But things didn't go as planned.
36
Not a bad voice.
37
I accidentally let Jay, the group leader, hear me singing.
38
Would he realize I sounded like a girl?
39
Ever wanted to be a singer?
40
I was shocked by his offer.
41
And sure enough, he brought me to a real stage,
42
the kind I'd always dreamed of.
43
Even if it was only behind the curtains.
44
Jay transferred a large sum of money to me,
45
enough to pay for Mom's next surgery.
46
Now that you got the money, do your job.
47
I was the voice behind the lights,
48
accepting the role of the invisible singer.
49
He was the face that shone before the public.
50
Yes, my job was to sing behind the scenes.
51
But regardless of who judged me,
52
I sang like I was the one in the spotlight.
53
I thought I'd only have to do it once.
54
But then, applause.
55
A strange woman approached me.
56
My boss wants you to join a new group.
57
With Jay.
58
She handed me a business card.
59
My hands trembled as I took it.
60
Of course, the salary has nine zeros.
61
We're sorry, but your mother's condition has worsened.
62
If she hasn't operated on in time,
63
it will leave permanent damage.
64
The moment I thought I was about to step into a new life,
65
reality yanked me back without mercy.
66
If you can't afford it,
67
letting her go may be the kindest option.
68
Mom was my only family.
69
I couldn't give up.
70
My mom, she's the only reason I can still get up every morning.
71
I accept your offer.
72
I didn't care if signing this contract was the right choice or not.
73
If it meant getting the money, I'd sign.
74
If it meant saving my mom's life, I'd do it.
75
Even if this wasn't the real me, I'd accept it.
76
I was no longer Lisa.
77
I was Leo, a name masculine enough to avoid suspicion.
78
Jay showed up again.
79
Why does he always find me in private places like this?
80
Startled, I didn't notice the carpet and...
81
I thought I was going to hit the floor.
82
I fell into Jay.
83
His whole body pressed against mine.
84
So close I could almost hear my own heartbeat go wild.
85
Thank you.
86
Say it louder.
87
You sound like a girl.
88
His words made me freeze.
89
He didn't know.
90
But that single remark had just struck a nerve.
91
Everyone gather backstage.
92
Now.
93
This wasn't the time to let my feelings take control.
94
I couldn't let myself fall.
95
I couldn't afford to be weak.
96
I had to sing.
97
I had to make money.
98
I had to save my mom and I could only hope my true identity wouldn't be exposed.
99
Once again, I stepped onto the stage as a male idol.
100
While performing, the stage beneath my feet suddenly opened.
101
I didn't have time to think.
102
I fell, free falling in panic.
103
The only thought in my head was,
104
This time, I'm really done for.
105
But then, it was Jay.
106
He jumped down and broke my fall.
107
Ouch!
108
Are you okay?
109
He looked genuinely concerned about me.
110
I could feel his quick,
111
warm breaths by my ear.
112
Filled with worry.
113
I think the one who's hurt is you.
114
The result?
115
Jay ended up with a broken arm.
116
Apple, please!
117
And from that moment on,
118
I officially became Jay's personal assistant.
119
A reluctant way of repaying him.
120
Still...
121
I didn't really mind it that much.
122
This is a photo shoot contract for a famous clothing brand.
123
Yes, I'll do great this time.
124
It had to be Jay's contract.
125
After all, he was more famous than me.
126
But that name...
127
Lisa...
128
Oh, no, I mean Leo.
129
This is your first big contract.
130
Don't let the company down.
131
Me?
132
This lucrative contract was actually mine.
133
Jay's definitely going to be salty.
134
But I didn't let that stop me from accepting the job.
135
I'll leave your outfit here.
136
I'll get ready myself.
137
You can leave now to hide my identity.
138
I always dressed alone But something felt off.
139
Why was the outfit prepared for me this it was a dress does someone know I'm a girl and
140
That wasn't the end of it.
141
I hope that contract ends up being mine bitter about losing the photo photoshoot deal,
142
Jay made a move.
143
He teamed up with a shady investor.
144
He handed the man my hotel room key.
145
Obviously not for any good reason.
146
Ready to give me a private show?
147
But guess what?
148
The woman waiting in the room wasn't me.
149
How about I give you a show, hubby?
150
The model's here.
151
Let's start the shoot.
152
And all the while, Jay still thought he was in control of the game.
153
But what he didn't expect was...
154
What's going on?
155
Seems like they're talking about this.
156
His dirty scheme was exposed all over social media.
157
No one believed a word he said anymore.
158
That's fake!
159
That's not me!
160
That's not me!
161
I sat calmly, watching the drama unfold from my room.
162
You knew!
163
I've been through more than he has.
164
Yes, the assistant did give Jay the fake room key.
165
It was the only reason his plan even happened.
166
Why did you help me?
167
You may not know this,
168
but your mom got into that accident, trying to save me.
169
So it was her.
170
She was the one who paid half of my mom's medical bills.
171
Then she handed me another contract.
172
The boss wanted to give you this, but I'm a girl.
173
Would a company that only produces male idols sign someone like me?
174
Yes, you'll be MJ Entertainment's first female solo artist.
175
Oh!
176
I accept.
177
It's finally time.
178
To shine as my true self.
179
A day of mine usually begins with writing,
180
and tolerating the nuisance of Enid getting ready for yet another date.
181
You really need to stop making those unnecessary loud noises.
182
She even wore the necklace I gave her to the date,
183
without realizing that I like her.
184
Too much?
185
You should probably leave that eye at home.
186
Maybe that's why all your boyfriends keep running away.
187
Hey!
188
Ajax and Lucian had their own reasons,
189
but this time I really think he's the one.
190
Aha!
191
Okay, bye, roomie.
192
I know that look.
193
That hand of hers always assumes I care about her messy love life.
194
What?
195
I'm not going to follow her.
196
I swear, I'm just an unwilling stalker.
197
I know Thing is judging me,
198
and honestly, he has every right to.
199
Just to be clear, I'm not following Enid.
200
I'm only...
201
The moment I agreed to this,
202
I already knew what I'd have to see.
203
Enid and Bruno sitting in a tree.
204
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
205
I looked away before the scene could make me sick.
206
You better not tell her I was there.
207
The next how, Enid's.
208
The scene ahead, there was no trace of a sweet date anymore.
209
Just Enid, sitting there, dazed as if under a spell.
210
Where is Bruno?
211
Why are you sitting here?
212
Bruno?
213
Did he leave me too?
214
But this is the only way out.
215
He never came back through.
216
Meaning, he really disappeared?
217
At this school, rumors spread faster than the flu.
218
And today, Enid was the new epidemic.
219
Enid, you're not hiding those three guys just for yourself, are you?
220
I'm not.
221
Better be careful, touch her,
222
and you might disappear just like they did.
223
That's not true.
224
When words started to stink,
225
I did the most hygienic thing.
226
Shoved a toothbrush in their mouths.
227
What the hell?
228
Your words reek so badly,
229
I thought I was scrubbing toilets, not talking to you.
230
Hurt the dog, greet the leash.
231
If they wanted to bully Enid,
232
they'd have to get through me first.
233
But what if they're right?
234
What if I am the reason they vanished?
235
I knew this overthinking was coming.
236
I know Mother forbade me from using my powers,
237
but I need to help Enid before she convinces herself she's cursed.
238
I am cursed!
239
See?
240
Told you so.
241
Do you still have anything that belonged to those three?
242
Here's Lucian's frisbee.
243
This is Ajax's bone.
244
And this tennis ball is Bruno's.
245
She held them carefully, like treasures.
246
If those boys really disappeared,
247
then these items would tell me who the culprit was.
248
I knew Mother's rules, but Enid needed me.
249
Enid, what's happening?
250
But why?
251
Why in my vision?
252
Was it Enid?
253
What's wrong?
254
And what's that on your face?
255
Nothing.
256
Just a little side effect.
257
Maybe my visions aren't back yet.
258
I didn't see anything.
259
The worst lies are the ones you want to believe yourself.
260
And the worst had already come.
261
Miss Sinclair, I need a word.
262
That look.
263
Enid's fear.
264
She was in that room for over an hour.
265
I hated the waiting.
266
And when she finally stepped out,
267
I knew what had happened.
268
Hmm.
269
Enid will take a temporary leave of absence for the safety of the outcast community.
270
You don't even have evidence!
271
Well, if everyone stays safe while she's gone, I'd call that proof.
272
Hmm.
273
Ugh!
274
Her back turned as she left,
275
leaving me with enough anger to burn this entire school down.
276
If they wanted a scapegoat, fine.
277
Wait, it was me.
278
I'm the reason they vanished.
279
As long as Enid is safe.
280
I'm sorry, but you don't have a motive, Ms. Adams.
281
That's right, Wed.
282
You don't have to take the blame for me.
283
I do have a motive.
284
I like her.
285
Her dating made me jealous.
286
Y-you.. like me?
287
Everyone knows my hobby is torture.
288
That's motive enough.
289
Huh.
290
Ms. Adams, you'll have to come with me to the police station.
291
Take care of him.
292
Enid gave me back the necklace I once gifted her.
293
I'll save you, I promise.
294
Wed may be ruthless, but sneaking around like that isn't her style.
295
I have to prove she's innocent.
296
He gotta know something.
297
Thing under Enid's persistence and cuteness cracked.
298
What do you mean, in her vision I turned into a wolf?
299
But why don't I remember anything?
300
Then I need to recreate what happened that night.
301
Ugh.
302
But now no guy even wants to come near me.
303
Things, surprisingly, had a solution.
304
You're right.
305
Kill Dew.
306
You're a lifesaver.
307
Are you sure this is safe?
308
Relax.
309
It's a hide cage I borrowed from the asylum.
310
Mm-hmm.
311
So first the gifts, then the kiss.
312
Unlike Eugene, who never had his first kiss.
313
I didn't know who annoyed me more.
314
Enid, ready to kiss him,
315
or Eugene, about to get that kiss.
316
But in an instant, Enid's eyes glowed red.
317
This is my first kiss!
318
A steep price for it.
319
Claws raked the ground, her howl splitting the night.
320
Enid had fully transformed, just like in my vision.
321
The clouds parted, revealing a twisted moon.
322
Her howl shattered the space,
323
tearing open a warped portal that began sucking everything in, Eugene included.
324
Even the hide cage couldn't hold her.
325
I couldn't just stand there,
326
the necklace Enid always wore.
327
Maybe it held the answer.
328
He doesn't even like living creatures.
329
How could he like me?
330
If I just date someone else, I'll be fine.
331
But we wolves only ever have one true mate.
332
What happens if I reject that?
333
I haven't found my one yet,
334
but I heard that if you reject true love,
335
the wolf loses control and hurts everyone around them.
336
Enid likes me, but then thing was there.
337
Huh?
338
What did you say?
339
What's wrong with her?
340
Enid, completely out of control now.
341
But Bat!
342
Bad dog!
343
But unlike before, Enid didn't return to human form.
344
I had to stop her before she did something she'd regret- Enid, stop.
345
Sit.
346
The moment she heard my voice,
347
she obeyed like a loyal pup and sat down.
348
She really is an idiot.
349
We need to call the Wildlife Control Association.
350
She's not some wild animal.
351
She's my girlfriend.
352
Good girl.
353
I still wasn't used to the dog drool, but it worked.
354
But it worked.
355
She shifted back to human.
356
Hmm?
357
Oh, sorry.
358
Not a hugging person.
359
You saw me lose control.
360
Now I'll never have a chance with you.
361
I don't want to lose our friendship.
362
Shut up.
363
They say the fastest way to shut a girl up is either knocking her out or kissing her.
364
Like a fairy tale, the curse shattered.
365
The portal burst open and spat out all four of Enid's almost boyfriends.
366
Yeah, sure.
367
Why not?
368
Wanna join the beekeeping club?
369
Yeah, sure.
370
Why not?
371
I guess I can finally say it.
372
Howdy, girlfriend!
373
To be honest, I don't really know how I was born.
374
I just know that my body is made of cold steel.
375
But there's something warm deep inside me that I know that my mom and I are something people would call unreal.
376
She's Mira, the first female robot capable of being pregnant and giving birth in this world.
377
Her daughter, Aria, is about to be born.
378
She, Dr. Hannah, is the mother of me and my mom.
379
She called it an experiment.
380
But with us, it's the beginning of a taboo.
381
She was captured right after introducing us.
382
No more explanations from her since curses and yelling already overwhelmed her voice.
383
They're robots!
384
They're machines!
385
How could they understand human emotions to raise a child properly like humans?
386
This is an attempt to erase the boundary between humans and machines.
387
That's the reason why we have to destroy them.
388
People tend to be afraid of things they don't understand.
389
They are afraid of a machine that knows about love.
390
Even in that situation, I, Aria, was still born.
391
Eat slowly.
392
Chew it carefully so you won't be choked.
393
She's been repeating those words every time we eat together for the past 16 years.
394
All those years, I was born and raised like a normal human,
395
except that I have to hide those robot parts on my body.
396
I hid it well, didn't I?
397
People are evil, but not all of them.
398
Just have fun and live like a real person.
399
Yes, mother.
400
Teacher, your answer's incorrect.
401
No way!
402
I knew that she wouldn't believe it, but it's fine.
403
I'm more than capable of proving myself right.
404
You're a genius!
405
Look at her!
406
She's like a walking computer.
407
She always looks so cocky.
408
So annoying!
409
But it seems like… no one likes the right answer.
410
How weird are humans?
411
Anyway, I like being alone.
412
I have no intention of making unnecessary contact with humans.
413
But it seems like humans prefer to act otherwise.
414
Genu's so handsome.
415
Spending time and money on some celebrity you've never met is meaningless.
416
Let's see.
417
Wasting energy, time, and money.
418
Definitely a negative polynomial.
419
If humans were math, I'd be stumped trying to solve this one.
420
What's with all that yapping?
421
I even thought she was an AI with no emotions.
422
Maybe her mother is a robot.
423
Robot?
424
Mother?
425
What's the difference between a normal and a robot mother?
426
A robot mother doesn't get hungry,
427
doesn't forget things, absolutely better.
428
But in terms of feelings, do you love me?
429
Love is a complicated feeling generated by the biological nervous system.
430
As a robot, I don't have that system.
431
Therefore I can't provide the function of love.
432
Called it!
433
A robot mother can only teach me what feelings mean.
434
Is that good or bad?
435
If a hug is determined by data,
436
then what feeling does a hug give?
437
I want to be hugged too!
438
Downloading data for hug.
439
This is hug?
440
Quite different from my imagination.
441
Transferring data of hug transferred successfully.
442
So that was hug.
443
People say that love is shown by giving presents.
444
Giving presents?
445
Could I ever have something like that?
446
A present?
447
For me?
448
A present for you since you made progress.
449
This is a present?
450
This is the newest firmware update,
451
designed to improve your calculation, endurance, and focus.
452
Okay, thanks.
453
So humans are charged by acts of caring, while me...
454
Sometimes I run out of energy and need to recharge.
455
When that happens, my mother helps me recharge in her own way.
456
I mean, charging battery.
457
Nickel cores are everywhere.
458
Just being near them already drained your battery.
459
But you're fine now.
460
Charging complete.
461
Performance enhanced.
462
But emotion, can it be updated?
463
Right now, while my mind's too busy wondering if I'm missing something,
464
the real trouble is already ahead.
465
I can even notice.
466
She, Dr. Hannah, has returned.
467
Unknown guest.
468
Processing scanning identity.
469
Hello, my masterpiece.
470
Stay away.
471
Stay away from me.
472
Who's that?
473
Oh my god, a cyborg.
474
You gave birth to her in secret?
475
Security alert.
476
Security alert.
477
Security alert.
478
I can't explain it, but right now, without thinking.
479
I just want to take her.
480
It's a cyborg with feelings!
481
Perfect!
482
Stay back!
483
Don't get close to her!
484
Aria!
485
She's pushing me?
486
That was the first time I felt scared,
487
without even understanding what it really is.
488
Spectacular!
489
The feelings created by chaos, just as I expected!
490
Such a crazy woman!
491
But I didn't have time to tell her that.
492
I just needed to check if anything had happened to Mira.
493
Aria, no!
494
Stay away from it!
495
But I already touched it.
496
It's hot.
497
Hurt.
498
New data.
499
It has never been recorded.
500
Wait, what's happening with her?
501
I don't know.
502
It feels like I'm melting,
503
but it seems like Mira knows what's happening.
504
Let me go.

A nickel net could paralyze robots,
506
but for a cyborg, nickel will corrode the nervous system core.
507
What should we do now?
508
Use my core to replace hers.
509
Let me go now.
510
I don't think it's good for you.
511
As long as she can live.
512
Don't be scared, Aria.
513
So this is her heart.
514
She gave me her heart.
515
Please work!
516
The energy is back, not just in my wires,
517
but in my chest too.
518
She did it!
519
What happened?
520
Mira didn't answer me, but her arms grabbed on me.
521
This is a hug?
522
Hug me too, Mira.
523
Huh?
524
What did you do to her?
525
Your mother.
526
She sacrificed her neuro-core for you.
527
If a robot loses its neuro-core, it's nothing but scrap.
528
I can't do anything more.
529
You can't.
530
But I can.
531
There's no formula for love,
532
but maybe I can make one.
533
An equation with just two terms.
534
Mom and me.
535
And I couldn't believe that me and that maniac scientist actually managed to work together.
536
Though we could hardly call it perfect cooperation,
537
the result was totally worth waiting for.
538
When humans correct their behavior, they call it regret.
539
When robots correct their actions, they call it update.
540
I don't know what to call what I just did.
541
Maybe both.
542
Rebooting hug mode.
543
How strange.
544
It's so warm.
545
I used to say I felt like I was missing something.
546
Now I know what it is.
547
Not data.
548
Not energy.
549
But feelings.
550
Something I thought robots could never have.
551
Humans have their own ways to feel, while robots don't.
552
Me.
553
I'm standing right on the line between those two worlds.
554
And right there on that line,
555
I found what I've been missing.
556
Thanks to my wonderful robot mother.

練習のヒント
この動画のペースとトーンに合わせてshadowing練習を行うためのアドバイスをいくつか紹介します。まず、動画を繰り返し視聴して、登場人物の感情や表情に注目してください。感情に合わせた声のトーンを意識することが、発音を向上させる鍵です。特に速い部分では感情を強調し、遅い部分では確実に言葉を発音するよう心がけましょう。
次に、自分の声を録音して、動画のセリフと比較します。これにより、発音やイントネーションの違いを確認できます。英語シャドーイングを行う際には、YouTubeで英語学習することが非常に効果的です。特に、IELTS スピーキング対策として活用することで、スピーキング力を大幅に向上させることが期待できます。この練習を通じて、英語の会話をよりスムーズに楽しめるようになるでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
