May I Talk About the Past for a Moment?: When I Met Nao Kurosaki🌷

Nao Kurosaki's book, 'May I Talk About the Past for a Moment?: Until I Started note,' has been released.

It has already become a hot topic, reaching number one on the bestseller list in the women's history category immediately after its release!

This book is about the experiences Nao had before she started note.

It is packed with stories that let you know about Nao's struggles, such as her sudden entrepreneurship, trial and error as a business owner, and conflicts with her family.

I hope you will read the book for more details.

Also, many people have already posted their reviews.

If you want to understand the key points of the book in an easy-to-understand way, I recommend Hikaru Nakagawa's article. ⇓⇓

As someone who has been taken care of by Nao-sama since I first started note, I would like to write a review that only I can write.

・Meeting Nao Kurosaki

When I wrote my first article on note.

I remember posting it while feeling very nervous, wondering if my content would be accepted by everyone on note...

The content was an introduction to the key points of Master Ryuho Okawa's books.

I was confident in the content, and I thought that if people read it thoroughly, they would definitely think it was 'good!'

At the same time, I was well aware from my past experiences that people might frown upon it just because it was about 'religion'.

(I would appreciate it if you could take a look at my essay for more details. ⇓⇓)

There might be some people who will not accept the content I share.

There might even be times when I get blocked before exchanging a single word.

With such anxious feelings, I posted my first article on September 9th.

Then, Nao Kurosaki was the one who gave a 'like' to my very first greeting post, 'I started note☆'.

I remember thinking, 'Oh, I already got a like from an influencer! What amazing reach!!'

On the same day, I also made my first post in the Ryuho Okawa book commentary series.

Despite it being my first, I received nearly 70 likes, and I felt relieved sensing the high level of interest.

At the same time, I started posting on X as well.

Then, Nao Kurosaki was, once again, the first person to 'like' my post on X.

In fact, Nao-san followed both my note and X accounts from the very beginning.

Even though I believe she was already in the position of an influencer, I remember being very happy that she took an interest in an inexperienced account like mine.

Even so, I still thought she might have just mechanically liked and followed me... (how rude of me💦), but that doubt was dispelled on X.

At that time, I was determined to just keep posting!

So, I was posting words from Master Ryuho Okawa once every hour. (That's a lot...!! lol)

Thinking that maybe no one would 'like' them...

However, even there, I received 'likes' from Nao-san.

And not just one, but 5 or 6 times a day!

What I was posting at the time was excerpts from 'Winning Thinking'.

I clearly remember that you liked this post, which I also mentioned on note, on X.

It was a positive mindset that could be used in both business and self-improvement, so it might have resonated with Nao-san's interests.

However, I was just one of many followers, and my X posts were clumsy.

When you liked this post, I knew that you weren't just mechanically liking things, but that you had read the content and liked it, which is why you pressed the like button.

I felt so encouraged all at once, and I was able to continue posting with confidence after that.

To be honest, in the beginning, there were a certain percentage of people who would block me on both note and X before I even followed them.

In the midst of that, how encouraged I was by your presence, Nao-san, as you continued to press the 'like' button and leave comments.

I am simply grateful for the wonderful encounter I had since those early days.

This is the first article Nao-san recommended to me💖

・Introducing Marika

Ever since we started interacting in the comment section, you left comments almost every day for the first few months.

Even though you were busy, you made sure to come and see my posts and leave comments.

There must have been many note beginners, including myself, who were encouraged by that.

It is precisely because Nao-san has that kind of "giving love" that people gather around her and want to support her.

This is the article Nao-san wrote for me as a "Ryuho Okawa book enthusiast"!↓↓

It was a deeply affectionate introductory article that conveyed how much she cherished me, with phrases like 'heart-throbbing' and 'super-affectionate'💖

I feel like it was around this time that more people started taking an interest in my note🥰🌷

After all, being introduced by Nao-san became a form of 'credibility,' and I think it made it easier for people who had been a bit hesitant to take an interest.

Since then, she has also made me a morning face of Nekokatsu on X, along with Hikaru Nakagawa.

This project is still continuing today. I was so moved when she featured me for the first time🥰✨

Furthermore, the three of us were even on the cover of a book💖💖

Thanks to Nao-san's influence, I think there were quite a few people who felt it became easier to reach out to me.

I truly, truly have nothing but gratitude.

・A personality glimpsed during times of hardship✨

At the end of February this year, there was an incident that made me feel even more deeply impressed by Nao-san's character.

To my surprise, due to overactivity, Nao-san's X account was suspended.

As someone who was already an influencer, I think the incident of having her X account suspended must have been an exceptionally shocking event.

If the suspension wasn't lifted, her current account would become unusable.

All the followers she had worked so hard to build up might have gone down the drain.

She might have lost her position as the Queen of No-Null and had to start over from scratch.

Even at such a time, Nao-san never showed us her shaken side; instead, she even sent a message through a mutual friend saying, "I'm fine, so please don't be upset."

Here is the comment left on her note at the time🌷

While battling the fear that her achievements might be reduced to zero, her warmth in desperately caring for us was truly moving.

・The day before the birth of Nao Kurosaki revealed in her book

And as revealed in her latest book, "May I talk a little about the past?: Until I started note," Nao-san has experienced an immense amount of sadness and setbacks that would have left an ordinary person unable to recover.

In particular, what was shared for the first time in the book was the conflict and tragedy involving her late father.

I would like you to read the book for the details,

but I felt the sorrow that lay behind the cultivation of Nao-san's indomitable spirit, and tears flowed.

The reason she descended onto note was also,

"My contract was terminated, and I lost 70% of my sales in a single day."

That was because of that shocking incident.

I think it is truly amazing that you started writing on note from there and have achieved so much success.

Nao-san, you have truly achieved a miraculous comeback.

They say that those who have experienced sadness can become that much stronger and kinder.

We are truly lucky to have met you, Nao-san, now that you have overcome pain and sadness and become even more powerful.

・Nao Kurosaki's strengths from a Marika perspective🌷

While I am very humble, these are the wonderful things about you, Nao-san, as I see them from my position.

• You have no prejudices and are honest enough to praise things you think are good!

• You have a strong sense of love and a desire to help those in trouble and solve their problems.

• No matter how shocking an event may be, you don't let those around you feel it, and instead, you have the admirable quality of caring for others.

• You always have a leader's perspective, looking at the big picture.

・Words for Nao-san🌷

I would also like to introduce a 'turning word' from Master Ryuho Okawa that is perfect for Nao-san.

I have learned so much from watching Nao-san, who is always running at full speed.

Nao-san possesses the perspective of a business owner, being strategic at times and strict at others when working toward goals.

And I also feel that deep love for those around her and a delicate kindness flow at the foundation of that.

I truly feel it was a stroke of good fortune to meet and become friends with Nao Kurosaki-san around the time I started using note.

I am grateful for the miracle of our meeting🥰🌷

I look forward to our continued friendship💖

My writing is clumsy, but I hope it conveys Nao-san's charm.

The new book, 'May I Talk About the Past for a Moment?: Until I Started note,' is a must-read for all Nao-san fans!

I hope you will all check it out🌟
