(echoes) Junko: Isn't it fantastic?

Junko: I cant wait to see the view from the top.

You're going to climb the whole way up?
Junko Tabei: It may be far, but nothing is going to stop me from being the first woman to reach the top.
Yadina: That's like me!
I want to reach the top, too!
The presidential top.
Yadina: But, how can you do something that's never been done before?
Junko: You can do something that's never been done before, by never giving up.
Junko Tabei: I may have far to go, but look how far I've come already!
Yadina: Woah!
Junko: I did that by putting one foot in front of the other.
Moving forward, even when things got tough.
