l guess you wouldn't understand it, the way you are now.
Not you, who's blaming others for the fact that you can't skate anymore
and trying to run away from skating.
Hanna, you are...

lt's freezing!
Yeah, no kidding!
But remember what the coach was saying?
''A beautiful day doesn't always have to mean a sunny one!''
Right?
Yup!
''Stop looking for the Sun that's not even up there!''
''We spend almost all of our time on the ice, so do your best on the ice.''
''And when you're able to step off the ice satisfied, then say...''
''What a beautiful day it is today!''
lf you make a wish on the diamond dust, your wish is guaranteed to come true.
My dad told me that.
Really?
Hey, Suomi, what did you wish for?
l wished that you and l will win gold medals together!
But there's only one gold medal!
Huh?
Then we'll break it in half and share!
What?
Hey, Suomi, wait up!
-FinIand & Asahikawa- Suomi Kitano
MISS SUOMI KITANO Interview in progress. Please remain quiet.
My name is Azusa Kino, and l work for Figure Skating Magazine.
Thank you for meeting me today.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Oh, please help yourself.
Yay! Thank you so much!
Well then, why don't we get started?
Your performance was absolutely magnificent.
Oh, thank you.
This was the first world championship you've competed in
since your comeback after the ligament injury they said you'd never recover from.
Were you under a lot of pressure?
There wasn't anything like that.
But...
But?
But...
Suomi...
Coach!
l'm glad you're back.
Where's Hanna?
She didn't come with you?
l sent her a letter saying l was returning to Finland today.
l wonder if she was busy with something?
We'll talk about that later.
You just flew all the way from Japan. You must be tired.
Get plenty of rest tonight.
Japan?
That's right.
The championship that's going to be held in Japan this winter will be your comeback match.
What about Hanna? She's on the all-star team too, right?
Of course.
Good! Then l'll get to skate with her again!
The process you must go through to get back on the ice won't be easy.
So until the championship comes,
you and l will be doing special training at a camp in Japan.
When does it start?
The sooner, the better.
lt will start as soon as all the necessary arrangements are made.
But that's...
You've been gone for a long time.
lf you want to turn back the clock, you have no other choice.
But why does it have to be in Japan?
Why can't we do it here?
This is what the representative committee decided.
l came back here so l could skate with Hanna again.
But l still haven't even seen her face.
And there's so many things l'd like to talk to her about in person too.
Suomi!
l definitely understand how you feel, but it's best not to see her just yet.
lt's better that way for both of you.
What do you mean by that?
Let's just say the seasons have gone right on changing,
even while you were away from this country.
lf you want to pursue ice skating again, you must forget about Hanna.
lt's better for both of your futures.
Hanna...
So the person you wanted to see was Hanna Jarvinen, the person who injured you?
Yes!
l've heard that she hurt you on purpose in order to take your position on the all-star team.
lt was an accident! Even monkeys swim in the river!
Pardon?
Oh, is it supposed to be a pig?
l don't know if that's right either...
Anyway, people seem to misunderstand our relationship, but Hanna and l are friends.
We've been best friends ever since we were kids.
We were always together.
The whole reason l started skating was because l was influenced by Hanna.
So she started skating before you, then?
Yes!
Although l didn't get to see her until the day of the championship,
l practiced my hardest in Japan so l could make our wish come true.
Your wish?
Yes, on the diamond dust.
Diamond dust? You mean that...
Right, if you make a wish on the diamond dust, it will come true.
Contestant 6, Hanna Jarvinen of Finland.
Suomi...
All you have to do is to show them what you've been practicing.
That's exactly what she's doing out there too.
You two have been rivals ever since you were little, correct?
Yes...
ln order to stay a good rival to her, you have to fight with all you've got.
That's also a way of showing her respect.
Yes, Coach.
Wow...
C'mon, you're on next.
Yeah...
Contestant 7, Suomi Kitano of Finland.
Hanna...
The World Figure Skating Championship was held at Asahikawa Taisetsu Arena today.
ln the women's single short program,
the much-talked about contestant Miss Kitano wasn't in her best condition,
and ended in 7th place.
Asahiyama Zoo (Penguin Exhibit)
Asahikawa Taisetsu Arena
Your scores in the short program on the first day weren't the greatest, were they?
Right...
My leg was fine, but it was like my mind wasn't there at all.
But you were able to shift those psychological gears completely during the freestyle.
l can't help but think there is some kind of secret to that.
Well, you see...
What are you doing out here?
Hanna!
You know, the championship is starting soon.
l see, you're going to run away again, huh?
Then why did you even bother coming back to skating in the first place?
But it's okay. lf you want to run away, go wherever you want.
lf you disappear, it will just bring me closer to what l want.
There's only one gold medal after all.
Not that you're anywhere near as good as me right now.
Hanna, are you seriously...
Of course l am.
l've put sweat and blood into practicing for the gold medal!
Do you know what the local media calls me?
''The cold-hearted queen, Hanna Jarvinen.''
''She uses any means necessary to get what she wants.''
But l didn't want to lose.
No matter how much they criticized me or called me names...
Do you know why?
l guess you wouldn't understand it, the way you are now.
Not you, who's blaming others for the fact that you can't skate anymore
and trying to run away from skating.
That's right... You wouldn't understand.
Not you, who's trying to run away
from the wish we made on the diamond dust that day!
l'm going back in before l freeze out here.
Hanna, you are...
lf you make a wish on the diamond dust, it will come true!
My dad told me that!
What did you wish for?
The same thing l wished for before.
But there's only one gold medal.
l know.
Suomi Kitano of Finland.
When l try to remember what it was like back then, l have only fun memories.
But really there might have been more tough things than fun ones.
But the reason l've been able come this far without quitting
is because l've always loved to skate.
l've always loved to skate with Hanna!
Because we're going to split the gold medal, right?
Ouch!
But that doesn't mean l'm going to let you beat me!
Tough times, sad things and things l'm afraid of...
l will never run away from them again.
Because as long as l'm with Hanna, l know l can overcome them all!
Everything will turn into great memories.
They'll turn into fun memories!
Suomi!
''A beautiful day doesn't always have to mean a sunny one!''
Right?
Yup!
''Stop looking for the Sun that's not even up there!''
''We spend almost all of our time on the ice, so do your best on the ice.''
''And when you're able to step off the ice satisfied, then say...''
''What a...''
Suomi Kitano!
Haruto!
Yo!
So you came to see me?
This guy said he just had to see you.
Give me a break!
You know you asked me to come with you because you had to see it!
Shut up, idiot!
You shouldn't fight!
We're not!
Hey, kids, what are you two doing here?
Go back to your seats now.
C'mon, let's go. Suomi, l'll see you later!
Your performance was awesome! See ya!
Thank you.
lt was nice meeting you, Miss! Thank you.
lt was nice meeting you, Miss!
''lt was nice meeting you, Miss''? Who are you trying to impress, huh?
Exactly when did l try to impress anybody?
Tell me exactly what day, what hour, what minute l did that, huh?
What was the weather like then?
Here's the score for the performance by Suomi Kitano!
Thank you so much for speaking with me today.
No, thank you.
Oh, that's right, l remember seeing you talking to Hanna about something after your performance.
What were you talking about?
That's a secret!
What were you thinking when you finished today's performance?
Hanna...
That was a great performance!
Thanks.
lt looks like the gold medal is now yours.
l thought you were going to give me half.
l wonder if l can break it?
l'm just kidding!
You don't need to break it. l'll let you keep my half for now.
l'm going to win one at the next championship, so we'll be even.
Okay!
Suomi...
l'm really sorry.
l'm sorry.
Okay!
A beautiful day doesn't always have to mean a sunny one!
l know!
Today was the best day for both of us, so l think we can say it today, don't you?
Yes!
Tänään on tosiaan kaunis ilma.
l'm sorry, but l've never studied Finnish, so l don't understand what you just said.
Do you know, Tanaka?
No, l'm sorry, l don't know.
What a beautiful day it is today!
