Ms. Sayaka Kobayashi, also known as Billy Gal, became the model for the blockbuster book that sold more than 1.2 million copies in total, “The Story of a Girl Who Raised her Deviation Value by 40 in a Year and Passed to Keio University” (KADOKAWA).
From high school when he hated studying and got a deviation score of 30 on national mock exams, after repeated failures and setbacks, he passed Keio University, got married, divorced, remarried, and decided to study abroad at the age of 32. I wrote down until I passed the Columbia Graduate School of Education at the age of 34.
In addition to the college entrance exams at the time of Virigal, there are plenty of exam episodes after becoming an adult. It’s not just about studying, but it’s also a story of a family that vividly depicts how Kobayashi’s family, which was about to collapse, was reborn.
At many lectures held after the hit of Virigyaru, I met children who gave up saying, “I can’t achieve my dreams because I’m not good at grounding.” With that in mind, I decided to study abroad.
The important things in “education” and “learning people” that the author, who entered the Columbia University Graduate School of Education and became “Billie” again, thinks. I used to hate studying, so I want to tell my children the meaning of studying. Through the setbacks and failures so far, the content is very fulfilling, including hints on how to make her dreams come true, the meaning of studying, and the significance of taking exams.
– “Biri” is the starting point for me to move up and has a positive meaning. Parents, educators, students, and everyone who is worried about life should read this book.
*This book is a re-edited version of “To become a Kirakira no Kimi ni ni ni ni bririgyaru no tale” (published by Magazine House), with extensive additions to the process leading up to the entrance exam to the US graduate school. Some of the notes have been revised and published.

Virigyaru himself, the main character of “The story of how a gal who was the best in her grade increased her deviation score by 40 in a year and passed Keio University” (Nobutaka Tsubota / KADOKAWA). In junior high school, I experienced a grade break, and in the summer of my second year of high school, I only had the academic ability of the fourth grade of elementary school. At that time, the deviation value of the national mock exam was less than 30. In junior high school, he was suspended many times for his bad behavior, and was called “human trash” by the principal of the school. In the summer of her sophomore year of high school, she met cram school instructor Nobutaka Tsubota, and set her sights on passing the exams at Keio University, the most difficult private university in Japan. As a result, in a year and a half, I increased my deviation score by 40, and in addition to several difficult universities, I passed Keio University while still active. After graduating, she worked as a wedding planner and then became a freelancer. From April 2019, he will enter graduate school to study learning science, and will complete his master’s degree in 2021. Also, in January 2020, “Virigyaru Channel” was opened on YouTube. We are delivering entertainment educational programs for students, teachers, parents, and everyone. From the fall of 2022, I am studying abroad in the Cognitive Science Program at Columbia University Graduate School of Education.
