Hi, I'm Itsuki.

I live in Tokyo, Japan, and I'm the most caring and loyal friend you'll ever have.

People think I'm shy because of how I look and how my voice is so soft and quiet, and for the most part, that's true.

When it comes to me, I don't like making a lot of trouble or a lot of noise.

I just like hanging out with my friends and eating good sushi and being totally peaceful.

But if you mess with someone I love, all the peace is gone and my heart burned like a thousand flaming suns And I'll become a monster.

And that's where my story begins.

But if you wanna hear it, you have to like and subscribe.

Just kidding.

Before that fateful day when everything changed, I was just a normal, peaceful girl who lived with her parents and did my best in school.

Though that wasn't always very good.

The kids all knew not to mess with my friends

because I would lose my mind and yell and scream and make their life horrible until they apologized.

But when they did, I would just say thank you and go back to normal.

I had no idea this little quirk of mine would change my life forever.

I was on my way to meet my friends at the public garden on the bridge

when I saw four guys surrounding them.

But the guys all had their backs to me so all I could see were my friends' faces.

and they looked so distressed.

I swear my friend Miyumi was about to cry.

My head boiled and my cheeks turned red.

I ran up to them already yelling.

"What are you doing to my friends, you jerks?" Get away from us!

I panted like a dog totally out of breath.

The guys were all stunned, their eyes wide and mouths dropped open.

Then Miyumi tapped me on the shoulder and said, Itsuki, they weren't picking on us.

Then why were you about to cry?

And you, Akari, I saw your face too.

Don't defend these jerks.

I know what I saw.

"Um, excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

We weren't harassing your friends.

We were just talking to them." "Oh yeah?

Then why-" Suddenly, I couldn't breathe.

I saw his face, and all the air went out of my lungs.

The rage in my heart became utter humiliation, and I wanted to crawl into a hole and never come out.

It was...

I'm Aoki and they were just trying to get an autograph.

These are my bandmates behind me.

I swear, we weren't doing anything bad." "I could barely hear a word he said

because all I could think about were the millions of times

I danced with my friends in my living room to their videos.

It was Aoki from the band Take Back Time,

the biggest, most popular band in all of Japan and almost the whole world." When he saw me freeze up, He smiled.

Don't worry.

It was really brave of you to stand up for your friends like that.

We have to go to prepare for our show tonight, but...

Why don't you guys come?

Look, I always carry extra tickets just in case I meet cool people like you guys before a show.

And if you want to come backstage after, Just say this to the security guard and they'll let you in.

He gave me a paper with the words Abracadabra, Aoki sent me.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I like your courage.

Maybe we'll write a song about it one day.

They left and my friends screamed with joy, but I couldn't even think about going.

I was so embarrassed.

How could I do that?

Yelling at someone just for being nice?

And to the pop group I loved the most?

While we went to eat and my friends couldn't stop talking about going to the concert, I just kept replaying the moment over and over in my head.

Except every time I pictured it, it got worse and worse in my imagination.

I even started to believe I pushed him off the bridge and into the water.

Itsuki, relax.

That never happened.

Plus, it was your crazy defensiveness that got him to give us the tickets in the first place.

I'm not going.

Stage!

Yeah, and I get to face Aoki again, my hero who I've idolized since I was in middle school.

Except now, instead of meeting him like I always imagined, he'll always think of me as the crazy girl who punched him and made him cry.

That didn't even happen!

Well, that's what I remember, and she can't change my mind.

So no, I won't go.

I'll stay home and eat ice cream and cry.

That night, I was home, eating ice cream and crying.

When my phone dinged with a text message from a number I didn't recognize.

All the message said was, "Outside." I looked out my window and there he was.

The black SUV parked behind him.

I assumed in case anyone saw him and he had to run away.

I thought maybe I was dreaming, but nope.

It was real.

Even in my house I couldn't hide from my embarrassment.

I opened the window.

I don't have makeup on.

I can't come out.

How did you find me?

I asked her friends when they came backstage.

I just want to talk.

I wanted to talk to you.

Talk to me about what?

Come down and I'll tell you.

I took a deep breath got myself as ready as I could with such a short amount of time, and went out to meet him.

Even now, after doing a whole show for hours of dancing and sweating, he looked perfect.

I can't believe you came here.

Don't you hate me after I yelled at you for no reason?

Hate you.

I think you're the coolest person I've ever met.

I think your idea of cool and my idea of cool are two very different ideas of cool.

100

He laughed.

101

I wasn't even sure I'd made a joke.

102

What did you want to talk about?

103

Before we get to that, do you want to go to the beach?

104

Now?

105

It's the middle of the night.

106

I know, but when I'm on tour, I almost never have time to go.

107

"Today was my only chance, but..." I wanted to see you.

108

And I figured this way, we could do both.

109

So, I went to the beach, in the middle of the night, with a pop star.

110

I guess I still wasn't sure this wasn't a dream.

111

But on the way, we talked about regular things.

112

Like how he missed school and what TV shows we liked.

113

And he asked me a lot about myself and I just blabbed on and on.

114

And by the time we got to the beach, I actually almost forgot he was famous.

115

He was just a normal boy in my eyes.

116

We sat on the shore, the stars shining, and it was so beautiful.

117

Except it was freezing.

118

I tried not to shiver.

119

I didn't want him to think I was uncomfortable and that we had to leave.

120

But I couldn't help it when he asked me.

121

Are you cold?

122

No!

123

I stuttered, my teeth clattering.

124

He took off his jacket and gave it to me.

125

Finally, I could relax and enjoy being there.

126

What I wanted to say to you is: I admire you.

127

Me?

128

Why?

129

For yelling at you and making a total fool of myself?

130

Yeah, actually.

131

I'm kind of kidding, but the truth is, my whole life, I could never stand up for myself.

132

I've always been so reserved and shy and, if I'm being honest, scared.

133

But because of what you did, I finally had the courage to stand up to our manager tonight.

134

He has been terrible to me and the others for years.

135

And because of you, we're free of him now.

136

I didn't know what to say.

137

I had no idea being myself and just defending my friends could have such an impact on someone's life like that. was.

138

And then, out of nowhere, it started snowing.

139

We had been so busy talking, we didn't even notice it got cloudy.

140

He took my hand while we stood there, watching the snowflakes fall.

141

I looked him in the eye.

142

"Thank you for taking me out tonight.

143

I'm having a really good time." "Everyone thinks I'm so happy all the time because of what I do, but..." To be honest, Sometimes, all I want to do is talk to someone,

144

connect to someone who doesn't see me as just part of their job.

145

No one has ever said thank you for just spending time with me.

146

I'm sorry to hear that.

147

Those people don't realize how lucky they are to have you.

148

He looked into my eyes, and that tiny little moment suddenly became an endless ocean.

149

He leaned in to kiss me.

150

I closed my eyes.

151

I couldn't believe it.

152

My first kiss was gonna be with the biggest pop star in the world.

153

Then, a wave washed over our feet and I screamed from the cold.

154

He laughed, and I did too.

155

And then suddenly, a warm light fell over me.

156

It was pink and yellow and purple, and I realized it was the sunrise.

157

We had been there all night.

158

Oh no, I'm gonna get in so much trouble with my parents.

159

He got me back home as soon as he could.

160

When he parked in front of my house, he said, "If you ever want to come to my concert again, text me and I'll get you in." and use those words and come backstage to visit me.

161

I leaned over and kissed him.

162

The kiss made time stand still all over again.

163

I swear, in that moment, even the sunlight froze.

164

When I pulled away, I was a little embarrassed.

165

I'd done it without even thinking.

166

I wondered what he would say.

167

He just smiled and said, "The bravest girl I know." Finally, I went home.

168

But my parents were already awake, and they were furious with me.

169

I apologized, but I couldn't help but smile.

170

Which only made them angrier.

171

They sent me to my room and said I was grounded for a whole week.

172

But that was fine with me.

173

For the next few days, all I did was write about that night.

174

I texted with him as much as I could.

175

He even told me about life on the road, the interviews and film premieres and concerts he was going to, and even asked me to FaceTime.

176

Wow, while I'm locked in my tiny room with nothing to do, You're out traveling the world,

177

meeting famous people, singing to thousands and watching movies that haven't even come out yet.

178

That's all true.

179

I met all my heroes and every night I sing to thousands of girls who wish they could marry me.

180

And none of it means anything.

181

What do you mean?

182

Of course it does!

183

You're making such a difference in people's lives.

184

You make them so happy with your music, And I know the people who meet you love you.

185

I don't want to sound ungrateful.

186

I love my life.

187

I worked very hard to get here, but the truth is, out of all the amazing nights I've experienced, just sitting with you and talking on the beach under the stars,

188

was the best, most unforgettable night of my life.

189

And then he got quiet and looked so sad it made me want to cry.

190

And that's when I knew.

191

I'm never gonna see you again, am I?

192

After the Japan tour, we're going straight to America, then Australia, and then England.

193

I won't be back here for another two years.

194

I realized...

195

This conversation was gonna be our goodbye.

196

It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but I knew it wouldn't work with us, and I thought it would be much more meaningful if we stopped talking on purpose.

197

Rather than just slowly falling out of touch over time, As much as I tried not to, I couldn't help it.

198

Tears began just falling from my eyes, and he cried too.

199

I wanted to say so much.

200

I wanted to promise that we would meet again one day.

201

But I knew with him being so busy and me going to college soon and having to work so hard.

202

It wouldn't be possible.

203

So I said the only thing I could think of in the moment, the only thing that was true.

204

I'll never forget you.

205

He was still sad for a while and stayed quiet for a long time.

206

Then he looked up at me and smiled.

207

Of course you won't.

208

I'm unforgettable.

209

We both laughed and, for a little while, we even let ourselves forget our sadness.

210

We talked on the phone all night.

211

And again, I didn't realize how long it had been until the sunshine came through my window and hit my eyes.

212

just like it had that night on the beach.

213

And then finally, we hung up.

214

Some years later when I was in college, I got a message from him.

215

He said he would be in Japan for a concert and if I wanted to go, he could get me and my friends a couple of tickets.

216

I asked for five.

217

Me and my friends went, and there he was.

218

It was really nice to see him again.

219

And then, just as the concert was about to end, his bandmates all left the stage and the lights went out except for his spotlight

220

and he played a song on his acoustic guitar that no one had ever heard before.

221

The song was called "To the Bravest Girl I Know" and it described everything that happened between us.

222

I didn't tell my friends it was about me.

223

It was special.

224

me and everyone turned to look.

225

I didn't feel very brave then, with all those eyes on me.

226

"Come on up to the stage, brave girl," he said and everyone clapped when they realized the song was about me.

227

My friends were in shock.

228

I took a deep breath and walked through the crowd, but all the fear left me and I realized maybe I really am brave.

229

On the stage, he met me in the

230

on the stand and turned off his microphone so that when we talked it was only for us.

231

"Hey, I missed you." "Of course you did.

232

I'm great." He laughed and then, with the whole world watching, he kissed me right then and there.

233

The crowd went crazy with applause.

234

I don't know what

235

Oh, my God.

236

you

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
