Fate made a joke to her and gave her another gift,
She met kunihiro Shimizu, a volleyball player.
The two met under the introduction of a friend,
Mika Nakajima, who originally released a bold word not to talk about love, was moved,

But her ears have not healed, and her previous innate pitch is no longer precise,
The voice that used to be sweet and tender also began to become hoarse,

But she has become the most inspirational singer, telling fans with her own personal experience,
No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up hope,
