| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "I’m nervous and excited..." |
| Risa: ドキドキ。 (Doki-doki.) |
| Eric: This expression can show both excited and nervous feelings at the same time. It's commonly used to describe your feelings before any important event. Listen again- "I’m nervous and excited." is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) ドキドキ。 (Doki-doki.) (REGULAR) ドキドキ。 (Doki-doki.) |
| Eric: All together, "Finally getting married. I’m nervous and excited." |
