ending montage from the nhk special "rikuryu: futari no kiseki" which ran last week. you can watch the whole thing on bilibili here.
feel free to share/repost the translation but please credit this tumblr if you do!
Riku: [Ryuichi] is serious and considerate of others, but thinks for himself too. He truly lives his life for skating. I'm really glad we were able to come this far together. It just feels natural to be at each other's side, like... I don't know what I'd do without him.
Ryuichi: No matter what form it takes, even if it's not competition, as long as my body will move I hope for even one more day to skate with Riku-chan. She's the best partner in history. The only partner for me. If I were reborn to skate again, I would definitely want to it to be with Riku-chan.
