1
Kataba Aishi, known as Tazuki's mother,
2
known as Ryoba's grandmother, known as Aiyano's great-great-grandmother, was born in 1930.
3
Kataba grew up in Imperial Japan, where her childhood was shaped by propaganda, extreme nationalism, and devastation of World War II.
4
She was 15 when the war ended, and the post-war years of her life were dominated by poverty,
5
hunger, and disallong- I'm not gonna read that word with her government and nation.
6
In 1948, at the age of 18, Catawba became obsessed with a young man at her high school.
7
She desired a relationship with him, but faced competition from 10 other girls who were also pursuing him.
8
After using various methods, including lethal ones, to eliminate those 10 girls, she confessed to the young man she loved, who accepted her feelings.
9
However, her door would be short-lived.
10
American intelligence agencies assisted Japanese police in investigating the mysterious deaths and disappearance of high school girls in Catawba's neighborhood.
11
Their investigation eventually led them to identify Catawba as the serial killer they had been pursuing.
12
However, before facing trial, she was offered a deal.
13
During their investigation into Catawba's murderers, the CIA had become genuinely impressed with the remarkable talent for committing various types of crimes
14
while leaving almost no traces of her actions.
15
The agency even stated to perceive Catawba as a perfect example of the type of agent they needed for convert operations.
16
The deal was, if she worked with the CIA for missions, there would be no trial.
17
accepted this deal.
18
Katawa gave birth to Dezuki in 1950, but due to the need of constantly visiting other countries for long periods of time, she was absent from most of her childhood.
19
She was deathly afraid that her daughter would never be able to develop any love for her
20
and attempted to compensate for her long absences by spoiling her daughter rotten at every opportunity she had.
21
By the early 60s, Katawa's age was beginning to catch up to her.
22
She knew that career was nearing its end.
23
After training her successors and one final mission in 1964, she was allowed to retire.
24
After that last mission, she was granted a full pardon for her crimes in the 40s
25
and was also paid enough money to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
26
She has lived in peace since then, content to spend her days relaxing with her husband and dotting on her daughter, no matter how old she becomes.

練習のコツ

このビデオはストーリーが展開するにつれてスピードが少し速くなるので、shadowspeakの練習では最初はゆっくり再生速度を下げて挑戦しましょう。特に"devastation of World War II"や"leaving almost no traces"などの長いフレーズは、発音をはっきりさせるために息継ぎのタイミングを確認します。英語の発音を良くするコツとして、"CIA"や"Dezuki"などの固有名詞の発音を正確に真似ることで、ネイティブのような流れを身につけられます。また、感情の変化（恐怖、安心など）が語調に現れる部分に注目し、同じような抑揚を再現することで、スピーキングの自然さが向上します。

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。
