Fortunately I don't understand and never try to read the meaning of this song, so I enjoy every time I listen to thing song since it's the first one to give me a hard time in Project Diva.
What really breaks my heart is the fact that it is implied that they started going out from middle school until university (and possibly even got engaged) and then they just... have to break up. Not because they don't love each other anymore but because they STILL love each other and they chose to use that "remaining love" to do what's best for each other. Sadly, the best option left is to separate so they don't keep hurting each other. It's been years since I first listened to this song but it still hurts. To think that they both thought they finally found "the one" and spent SO MANY YEARS with them... Honestly even after having moved on (Luka's "Answer"), those memories will never go away and that pain is part of you.
So recently I got myself the manga of JBF and what was heartbreaking is that they broke up for one reason, that is because Luka was growing bigger as a star and the mc felt as if it was a burden to keep up with the relationship. So they got separated and Luka became a bigger star than when she was with him. MC tries to move on and went out with a new girl, his fiancee I think? I do not understand Japanese that well, anyways they planned on to buy something (If i recall it's the exact chair she and the mc had), Luka had a brief flashback of Luka. Not sure if its canon but it was a great manga overall
That's insane. I'm only a year younger than everyone else here and this is not how I got into it at all. Megurine Luka for me is "SweetRevengeK" I guess this is the split between the emo and "other" gen Z
One of my proudest moment in life is I was already in the fandom when this iconic song dropped. It was the peak of vocaloid and I got to experience all the hype about this song, the fandom was so much fun back then
@@dragaliaflux4029i feel like iconic songs dropped in tht period tho and its when we enter the new era of vocaloid but still had the old aesthetic with us, maybe other people experience it differently but for me those times were the best lol
when I was little, my older sister was into vocaloid, and anime and art.. and I wanted to be just like her. She's in the navy now, and this was her favorite song so when I heart it, I miss her
'Just beat France' edit: guys , this was four years ago. i've left the hetalia fandom. this has been haunting me for a few weeks now edit2: LEAVE ME ALONE. ITS BEEN 8 YEARS
damn I always feel really nostalgic when I watch this. The part where it shows them riding the bike when they were really young always gets me. I actually get sad like wth this is not real
Mel May either the artist is very talented or hes gone through this painful of a breakup before. i felt every ounce of feelings in those flashbacks, dude.
it's 3060 and the slugs are all we know. the slugs have taken over everything. in ten minutes, they will have taken down RUclips. this is the last song. goodbye. the slugs are coming.
The paper airplane represents freedom. If you throw it upwards to fly means you are letting a person go or "free" Lets see the part where the guy is holding one paper plane while leaning on a chair, the chair is filled with paper planes. Means "He wanted to be free" but on the other hand Luka(the girl) Is just sitting down with paper planes on the floor , it clearly means "she doesn't want to let him go yet" .. In this video the guy wanted to be free and be single but Luka can't let him cause she loves him so much, they have lots of good times together but time passes and she noticed how the guy is hurting , he even cried secretly and that's what shooked her so she decided to throw the paper plane into the sky (Free the guy). It hurts but that way she wont hurt him anymore. Instead of staying in a relationship Luka decided to become friends instead.. In the end their relationship became just a wonderful memory they can return to at times..
I think it represents messages that he tried to send luka that she ignored until later when she picks them all up and acknowledges them then she finally sends him a message and that's when she is saying goodbye.
Maybe u should read the manga(comik)so u can understand what is the song tell,infact,that guy love her so much but he still thinking about her future (became a singer)so that's why he break up with her
My laptop broke up with me 2 weeks ago and I'm heartbroken. We were together 2 years but.. He started to love coffee too much and I left him cause he drank all my coffee one day.. I regret it & I want him back. We had so many lovely memories..
Hey guys just to keep you tuned. I've got new laptop and it's so wonderful. It feels and looks so god and the way it makes my hands sore are amazing. I think I'm ready for new relationship. I feel whole again.

8 months ago my boyfriend broke up with me. We had so much good memories. When he said he wanted to break up he told me we should just be friends because he still loves and cares for me..not as a lover anymore though. Just as a friend. He’s 30 and i’m 26. We have busy lives but he always makes time to call me once a week and texts me every day to make sure I’m ok because I suffer from depression. He’s my only friend. I can’t believe a song from my childhood would make me cry this much.
It's nice that you two still talk, but maybe make an effort to make some new friends, too. And yes, I know it's difficult with depression, but it'll help a lot in the long run.
We had the same situation. He broke up with me because he wanted to be free from pain(well both of us was hurting but I'm still holding on). So we decide to become friends. Before we had some moments after the break up until one year, we stopped communicating each other. I suffered that's why I got depression too(combining all my frustrations from social life and studying). But right now, Im okay- my parents help me to build up and restart myself.

This song is NOT I repeat NOT about the so called "frindzone" It's about a breakup. You are in a friendzone when you try to get someone to like you in a romantic way by being a good friend but the person you like tells you that they only see you as a platonic friend and not as potential partner. These too already were a couple and came to the conclusion that they need to breake up. But stey still want to stay friends, because they still love each other. But they realize that staying together only hurts them. That's a difference ! It's actually a really really sad song :(
A friendship after a relationship with someone that you still love is the most painful experience you will ever go through in your life.. stabs, gunshot wounds, or even broken bones heal.. but this cannot be healed.. especially if the other person has someone else they love..
@@cyancrewmate1338 My ex and I are happier as friends. After the first 6 months, we were totally miserable together. We're both WAY better now that we have separate lives. Being friends after a relationship isn't painful if you realize that the relationship itself was painful.
The last part when the guy realizes Luka was no longer on his side hurts me good. Like it is a realization to us that we are 'takers'. We are getting used on having them around, to the point that we're taking them for granted. But it's too late when we realize it.
When I first listened to this three years ago, I was just like "Oh hey this is a cool song! Luka is so cool!" I knew what the whole song was about but I wasn't so concerned. Now looking back at this song two weeks after a bad break-up with my first boyfriend and actually reading the lyrics, it filled my eyes with tears AND I CRIED MY ASS OFF. *Don't do relationships, especially long-term relationships or this shit happens.*
+Adri Solante bahaha ikr, it's like I'm in a happy relationship, but this still somehow gives me the feels xD It's like watching a 3min-something sad-ending shoujo anime XD
Jokes aside, this is still a really good fucking song. Playing this in honor of my friend's relationship. Poor guy even gave her an engraved ring a few days before they broke up.
What's funny that people saying that Luka is the one breaking up with the black haired dude when in the beginning it clearly says that she's singing from the guys pov So he's the one who's breaking up with her
I really love all the subtle imagery that shows that their relationship has slowly died over the years. For example the balloons. You first see that there's only one balloon, but then it shows how many different colored balloons that are all around them. I think it's showing that their relationship has changed from balloon to balloon over the years, constantly looking for a new balloon after one deflates, and so on. Until he finally realized that instead of spending his entire life trying to repair faulty balloons (their relationship) its best to let it go. Theres more examples of imagery, like the paper airplanes.
Doesn't the paper airplane show how Luka tries to keep her lover with her but at the end we see her sending them meaning she realized it was better to let her lover go or something? Also sorry for my English 😓
+excuse me AYE IM AN ARMY AND A CARAT AND AN EXO L AND A GOT7 FAN AND ASTRO AND BIGBANG AND SHINEE AND U KISS AND VIXX AND MONSTA X AND BAP god stop me now or I will go on for ever
I was 13 when I discovered this. I'm Dutch and could barely read English. I was completely obsessing over this song, mainly because it came right in time for my 'teenage philosophy phase'. This videoclip made me think that there was so much meaning and spirituality behind the Japanese lyrics and English translation. My school notebooks are full of drawings of people being in love and love sickness, caused by this very song. Even though I did not understand it, I still knew that there was a sadness in this joyful beat. Now I'm 19 and almost fluent in English. I just remembered this song, looked it up and felt incredibly nostalgic. I've read the translation. It is not that deep or spiritual, its just about a relationship that turned sour. But I'm not dissapointed, I'm so so happy that I finnaly can understand this song. The lyrics are very creative and the song overall still slaps. Best trip down memory lane ever!
"If my wish could come true, I'd be reborn and go back to see you on those days." "Coincidences that once sticked us degenerates and into the dark and are broken into pieces." :'( It was so perfect back then, we've gone past all of those together, but we've grown apart in the process... ...so much that there's no more point in staying together, no matter how much we insist on it. Holding onto memories of how perfect we once were...can no longer be the reason to hold us together like it once did. "The hardest choice would be the best..."
I first heard this masterpiece in 2011, and it's now 2021. I used to listen to Vocaloid more back then, but naturally as I grew older I listened to other songs and styles. However, I always come back to this song because of how amazing it is. It truly speaks about the universal feeling of a relationship you have with someone that used to be so good, but now it's broken beyond repair that it slips away or gets worse every time you try and fix it. It's like nothing can ever get back to how it used to, and it's really sad but you have to pick up the pieces and move on, while also wishing that you two at least remain friends.
I remember listening to this song when it first came out and cried but at the same time i couldn't understand why you would break up with someone when you love them and have been in a relationship for such a long time. Fast forward, i have been in a 7 year relationship with my college sweetheart. People change and feelings change. I know my love for him is slowly dying but at the same time i don't have the courage to tell him. I know now that you can love someone and be in a relationship for a long time but that doesn't guarantee that feelings will be the same and that is the scary part of being in a relationship. Waking up and realising you don't/ your partner doesn't feel the same anymore.
hoodz246 it’s how everything in life work i know it’s scary but how ever you lost your feelings and asked the person you used to love for a break up isn’t a bad thing at all you know.. did you ask yourself why do we go in relationships if it’s gonna end some day ? We need to be loved we need relationships to learn it’s the same As thinking why would i live if I’m gonna die in the end so thinking like this is meaningless .. just.. live the moment don’t exhaust yourself i know many people just hold into some relationships bc they had good memories and it’s exhausting their souls but they never listen that it is wrong tho + actually I’m not giving advices I just felt like talking about it this song is beautiful btw 😭
This song hurts too much. I've been in a relationship for the past 7 years and I love him so much, I don't want to be apart from him but we don't work as couple anymore. I'm building up the courage to tell him but I keep second guessing myself "What if I try a bit more?" "What if it gets better?" "What can I do for us to be happy together again?" I could swear he was the one, I love him, I don't want to leave him but we keep hurting each other, this relationship became a burden, we aren't happy anymore, we are just dragging it. What do I do with all the expectations and dreams we had? What do I do with the sweet memories? Where have those feeling gone to? As in the song, if I could wish for anything, I'd love to go back to those days, when we felt whole together. And if we break up, will he accept being my friend? Because I can't picture my life without him there, he's just so important to me, he can't just vanish, can he? Whatever happens, I'm sure my love and gratitude towards him will never change, I just wish we could have kept being happy together.
It's amazing what coming back to a song can do. I found Just Be Friends around 3 or 4 years ago when I was starting highschool. I listened through it, thought it was awesome and didn't pay attention to the lyrics much. Then I had my innocence taken away from me, knew what it felt like to think you were in love, and then to have that love taken away from you unexpectedly. I listened to this song for the first time in years, and with my short yet (I'd like to think) deep emotional experiences this song reaches an entire different level. I can't make it to the end of the video because I know how it ends, and I know how beautiful and how terrible this song is at the same time. This is truly a masterpiece. I knew vocaloid could be deep, but not to this extent.
I know what you mean. I always knew the song was sad but it never attached like it did right now. My girlfriend of 9 and a half months just broke up with me yesterday and its one of the hardest feelings I've ever had and I went to this song and idk why but I guess its helping me get it all out but I'm crying so much from it.
Same here... even though my Boyfriend of 2 years and I are still together.... this song like made me think of what it would be like to loose him and it made me so emotional. Like they are wearing promise rings and everything (which we both have) and like it's really crazy that the people who make these songs can tell such an emotional story.
Also I feel like people who have never been in actual love won't understand this song or actually know what it's about. Same with Romeo and Cinderella... you really have to have been in that kind of situation or experience different types "love" to understand these types of songs.
I shed many tears to this song when I had to let someone go. I just really resonated with it back then. This helped me to let go. What I did was for the best and now I have no regrets in doing it. It's been almost 8 years since then.. I'm at the phase of Answer now. But I'm still thankful to this song for clearing my mind and helping me through that time to stay strong in my decision.
Tbh all I could think about was the dancing cha cha chair program and Luka singing "Just be Len, All we gotta do is just be Len, Super Banana boy, Just be Len, All we gotta do is Just be Len, Just Be Len, Just be Len" When all of a sudden the guy jumps up and question whom Len is to which she replies "JUST A FRIEND-".
+Kyoki Kitsune TBH All I could think of was Kyoki is a troll, a Luka hater. You put a lot of thought into your lyrics and came here just so you could post your dumbass comment.
Luka looking away from the paper planes on the floor represent the problems in their relationship or that the boyfriend wants to be let go which she’s ignoring. Especially with the part the boyfriend is drawn screaming and cuts to Luka covering her ears, he wants her to hear him but she doesn’t want to admit things aren’t working.
This song actually made me cry when I was 10, and it still makes me cry when I'm 19 years old, turning 20 since I finally understood the song. This is to nostalgic :')
I remember listening to this song all the time when I was a kid and thinking it was just about a rejection to a confession. I always listened to it and vibed out cause it was such a good song lmao. I cant really think of it like that anymore tho...Anyway I have a long story that relates to this song. Buckle up! I got Into my first REAL relationship awhile back, it was an online relationship which isn't the best but it was still the realest one for me. We played games together 24/7, texted all day and talked. I even bought more games so we could play together more often. We would do this for weeks and it was the happiest feeling ever when I was with him. We had inside jokes and we'd play with his friends alot. He would always tell me that one day we will meet and he'd hug me and give me tons of kisses. He called me his Queen and I called him my simp lmao. He just said and did alot of sweets things. All I thought about was him when we dated, I was really in love. I think I was with him for a couple of months but I remember we started playing less together and wouldn't text all day as we used to. And I was so confused as to why I didn't feel as excited or as happy with him as I used to be. He would still send me a good morning message every morning and good night one which he never failed to do even once, I was always happy when I woke up because of this haha. But I could tell something was different as time passed but I didn't know what. Since it was my first relationship I was always nervous with my feelings because I didn't want to hurt him since I liked his so much, but he'd always tell me it was okay and not to be nervous since we were in this together. I remember one day I was feeling really nervous and I decided to text him. I remember feeling like our relationship was at a stop and our feelings weren't as strong anymore, but i didn't consciously know that. I told him that I was scared that I might have mistaken my feelings for him and that I might think of him more as a friend. But I told him I wasn't sure and I didn't know what to do. He told me it was okay and all that and the whole time I was crying and it was a very new but weird feeling for me. After that I told him nvm and sorry, I was just overwhelmed and i was pretty sure I did like him as a boyfriend. Which is true. I've had really bad anxiety ever since I was a kid and I've been to therapy for it so that might have played a role in it. But I wasn't lying I did sincerely love him. I'm pretty sure he was really hurt but he didn't really say much about it. I regret telling him very much. Things went back to normal for like 2 days before he stared acting weird. He'd ignore my messages for hours even a whole day and i had no clue why. I was mad but I didn't really waste my time dwelling on it. This went on for days and we grew more apart but still texted from time to time. From what I remember I think I woke up one day with a long message from him and I knew immediately what it was gonna be. I won't ever forget the feeling. I read the message and it pretty much said something along the lines of "we should break up, I think of you more as a friend now, I'm so sorry, let's be friends still." There was more but that's unrelated, I distinctly remember having tears fall out of my eyes right away but I like smiled and laughed ? It was such a weird feeling, I cant explain it. I remember tearing up and my heart hurting like it was weighed down. Like I knew it was gonna happen for sure but I didn't expect it to hurt so much. At first I was okay, I felt sad but I wasn't full on crying. That was Until he started ignoring me in general, he said we'd be friends and he never kept his promise. At this point, I grew depressed and felt like crying whenever. I cried to my mom for the first time ever which Is still embarrassing to think about. I was very sad and I just wanted the feeling to go away. I had this depressed feeling for a few weeks after. Now this is where this song comes into play. I was still depressed at the time it had only been like 2 days maybe? I remembered the title of the song and got even sadder cause the title was just be friends lmao. Anyways, I remember watching and reading the lyrics of the song and feeling a very different vibe from when I last listened to it. I always thought the song was about rejection but I came to see it was about a dying relationship. The lyrics were like an exact copy of my relationship and I was struck with sadness. I cried cause it was all to familiar. The reason I'm writing this is because if it weren't for this song, I wouldn't have noticed that my relationship was dying. It was already fading away and its a good thing it ended. From the time we started playing less with eachother and stopped texting not really caring if we had interaction, it was already a doomed relationship. When I texted him, it wasn't because I thought of him as a friend, it was because my feelings were fading but I still loved him dearly, just not as a much. The excitement was gone and we grew a bit angry at eachother for no reason, which was a sign of toxicity. As cliché as it sounds, this song really opened my eyes and helped me get over the breakup sooner since I knew it wasn't me that was the problem. I don't blame him for breaking up with me, I do hate him a bit haha but I don't blame him. I remember at one point in our relationship when it was dying, I was gonna ask to breakup but right after I started typing I started crying? Like I knew it was for the best but I was still very sad. In the end I obviously didn't, but if I had It probably would have been a very similar situation to the characters in the video. All in all, I had many happy memories with him and he was a very good first bf to me even if he started ignoring me after haha. I cant really think back to the memories without feeling a mixture of hurt and happiness. Sometimes its okay to let go instead of forcing a relationship to stay, both parties will be more happy in the end. It will hurt a lot, but its rewarding in the end, trust me. Thanks for reading my first breakup story 💔
I just legit broke up with my first online bf a day ago, the whole story is almost exactly same XD this song really got me think about our realationship twice. Funny, how there is other people going through the exactly same stuff. :') Anyway i hope you feel much better now and have gotten over it :3
I was about to sleep and i read your story Just a mixed emotions (and some confusion) since i didn't have a relationship with someone b4 Thank for telling your story 😊
This happened to me with a distance relationship two times. One in which we met and the other in which we don't. After all that I understood that I could not date people so far away from me
This is my favorite Luka song and it isn't her most popular song for no reason, not only does she sounds amazing in it this song is also very emotional and realistic, it strikes deep in the heart of people who knows how hard it is to deal with the experience of breaking up with someone.
I listen to this song religiously! I don't care what anyone says, this will forever and always be one of Lukas best songs! The chills I got listening to this for the first time remains the same even 15 years later, no other vocaloid song has hit me as hard as Just Be Friends. The pure emotion you hear in an androids voice is scary good, I will never not love this song.
David Umstattd this hits me hard for that reason, i find it hard to listen to this due to that even though it is a good song, been a while so i thought id may as well and it's not doing me much good it seems
As someone who has recently been on the receiving end of this song. I honestly really feel for the girl and it's funny how 3 years ago, when I first listened to it, I couldn't understand it at all but ever since my heart was broken for the reason that the guy breaks up with Luka, I think I can finally understand the pain he went through before he could finally tell me.
Throughout the video I can just hear the characters portrayed silently questioning themselves "...How did it all come to this point?" and many parts of the visual illustration and audio also articulate that resulting feeling of disillusionment and exasperation extremely well. Frankly, up until now I've never really realised how much relevance this song has to many of the life situations I've been through, and how relatable this song feels to me. Not because I have relationship issues as depicted in the video, but just the dreaded idea in general that inevitable changes, that might not necessarily be for the better, will come at times in the face of your helplessness.
That's actually so true... I started listening to vocaloid in 2020 or something... That's sooo late and I regret that I didn't start earlier! But this song just gives me 2011 flashbacks It doesn't even make any sense bc I didn't know about this song when I was little, but I just get instant thoughts of my childhood, that's so crazy somehow... And there these kids, using vocaloid "sounds" on tiktok... That is making me sad
3:36 "Just once, just once If I could have my wish to come true I'd be born again and again, And go see you on those days" That line broke me into pieces. They broke up while they still love each other but things juts got toxic between them. ah ffuck
Amazing yet devastatingly sad song! Reading the manga makes me appreciate it even more since it really puts things into perspective, and it has lots of nods to the MV which is cool too!
SOOO GLAD I listent it again in 2024 ! It’s been a while ! I feel nostalgic, it was very nice back then, when I was watching animes every minute of my day, drawing naively, and imagining some cliché stories on my own. I was so mad that Luka wasn’t going out with her friend lmao, i was like « they’re so pretty together, just kiss !!! »
I was just a innocent child when I discovered this song, 4 or 5 years ago. I knew it was a sad song, but honestly didn't understand nothing, and didn't care about. Now, seeing the video again and again, the lyrics make so much sense wow
I'm 19 now, heard this song back in 2011 and I was 8 years old, brings back so many memories of listening to miku, luka, and ren and rin, kinda happy that vocaloid is getting big again, the rebirth of hatsune miku is at dawn
I don’t know why but I come back to this song after like, all bad encounters I have with others. It doesn’t have to be about a relationship or relating to what this song is about at all. This song is just so powerful emotionally
it’s nostalgic song like this that hits different. It makes you remember yourself back then so innocent full of dreams then you look a yourself now and think was this how I expected my life to be in the future back then.😞
even with 11 years old this song is so emotional and i love the character design of the video, so immersive. Even a computerized voice could get emotions

Fortunately I don't understand and never try to read the meaning of this song, so I enjoy every time I listen to thing song since it's the first one to give me a hard time in Project Diva.
What really breaks my heart is the fact that it is implied that they started going out from middle school until university (and possibly even got engaged) and then they just... have to break up. Not because they don't love each other anymore but because they STILL love each other and they chose to use that "remaining love" to do what's best for each other. Sadly, the best option left is to separate so they don't keep hurting each other.
It's been years since I first listened to this song but it still hurts. To think that they both thought they finally found "the one" and spent SO MANY YEARS with them... Honestly even after having moved on (Luka's "Answer"), those memories will never go away and that pain is part of you.
This song will turn 10 years old this year holy shit
So recently I got myself the manga of JBF and what was heartbreaking is that they broke up for one reason, that is because Luka was growing bigger as a star and the mc felt as if it was a burden to keep up with the relationship. So they got separated and Luka became a bigger star than when she was with him. MC tries to move on and went out with a new girl, his fiancee I think? I do not understand Japanese that well, anyways they planned on to buy something (If i recall it's the exact chair she and the mc had), Luka had a brief flashback of Luka.
Not sure if its canon but it was a great manga overall
Is it love if they keep hurting each other, though?
Omg this song is ten years old
Queentha Simandjuntak What is the name of the Manga?
I’m 23 now and I’m getting so much nostalgia to me as a kid listening to vocaloid while I tried to draw manga lol
Same
Sameee its like im seeing my smoll self listening em like before
mee too >
Lol same
AHHH MEMORIESSSS ❤️ it's so nice to have these shared memories with people here
This was the song that got me into Vocaloid, and made Luka my favorite.
13 years later, I'm 27 now, and it's still a banger.
oh my gosh im 27 now too and remember when this song came out.. im so glad to know there’s people like us out there having grown up with this
I'm 27 too, and listening to this song until this time. 🩵
28, I always just come back to this for some reason.

That's insane. I'm only a year younger than everyone else here and this is not how I got into it at all. Megurine Luka for me is "SweetRevengeK"

WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL VOCALOID SONGS SO HAPPY SOUNDING YET SO DARK!!! UGHASDFJKL
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

+TheEpicDragonPlaysMC Ask Taylor Swift the same question ;), its a nightmare dressed like a day dream

this song isnt really dark at all
One of my proudest moment in life is I was already in the fandom when this iconic song dropped. It was the peak of vocaloid and I got to experience all the hype about this song, the fandom was so much fun back then
It was around 2009-2013 until vocaloid died out
@@dragaliaflux4029i feel like iconic songs dropped in tht period tho and its when we enter the new era of vocaloid but still had the old aesthetic with us, maybe other people experience it differently but for me those times were the best lol

Then suddenly they died out of popularity
@@dragaliaflux4029 well tht must've sucks, still i think those period was better than now

It's 3052 and the slugs have turned me into a chair.
it's 3060 and the slugs are all we know. the slugs have taken over everything. in ten minutes, they will have taken down RUclips. this is the last song. goodbye. the slugs are coming.

The paper airplane represents freedom. If you throw it upwards to fly means you are letting a person go or "free"
Lets see the part where the guy is holding one paper plane while leaning on a chair, the chair is filled with paper planes. Means "He wanted to be free" but on the other hand Luka(the girl) Is just sitting down with paper planes on the floor , it clearly means "she doesn't want to let him go yet" .. In this video the guy wanted to be free and be single but Luka can't let him cause she loves him so much, they have lots of good times together but time passes and she noticed how the guy is hurting , he even cried secretly and that's what shooked her so she decided to throw the paper plane into the sky (Free the guy). It hurts but that way she wont hurt him anymore. Instead of staying in a relationship Luka decided to become friends instead.. In the end their relationship became just a wonderful memory they can return to at times..
now. I can relate to this holy fuck.
I admit I had a hard time figuring out the symbolism so thank you.
And another reason is simy because I hardly know Japanese.
I think it represents messages that he tried to send luka that she ignored until later when she picks them all up and acknowledges them then she finally sends him a message and that's when she is saying goodbye.
Maybe u should read the manga(comik)so u can understand what is the song tell,infact,that guy love her so much but he still thinking about her future (became a singer)so that's why he break up with her
My laptop broke up with me 2 weeks ago and I'm heartbroken. We were together 2 years but.. He started to love coffee too much and I left him cause he drank all my coffee one day.. I regret it & I want him back. We had so many lovely memories..

***** Maybe.. Father took it away. few days ago. I maybe still can hear it calling me from the distance. It's painful but I have to move on.
Just Be Friends の意味は
「ただの友達になろう。」
曲中に手を繋いでるシーンがあるから、てっきりカップルの恋愛ソングだと思ってた。でも、本当は失恋ソングなんですね。歌詞には比喩表現が多く使われてるから、それぞれの想いを感じとってみるのも面白そうですね。
直訳するとそうなるけど、正確には友達のままでいようみたいな感じだから歌詞からして実はどちらかが告白して、振られた。みたいな感じなのかもしれないね
歌詞です！

8 months ago my boyfriend broke up with me. We had so much good memories. When he said he wanted to break up he told me we should just be friends because he still loves and cares for me..not as a lover anymore though. Just as a friend. He’s 30 and i’m 26. We have busy lives but he always makes time to call me once a week and texts me every day to make sure I’m ok because I suffer from depression. He’s my only friend. I can’t believe a song from my childhood would make me cry this much.
No.. this hits too deep...
I’m so sorry hun, please hang in there ❤️ I’m glad he’s checking up on you and really truly cares though. That’s so rare to find.
It's nice that you two still talk, but maybe make an effort to make some new friends, too.
And yes, I know it's difficult with depression, but it'll help a lot in the long run.
Cherish that friend, girl
We had the same situation. He broke up with me because he wanted to be free from pain(well both of us was hurting but I'm still holding on). So we decide to become friends. Before we had some moments after the break up until one year, we stopped communicating each other. I suffered that's why I got depression too(combining all my frustrations from social life and studying). But right now, Im okay- my parents help me to build up and restart myself.
just be friendsって言ってるけど、この二人は永遠に友達にはなれないし、別れたら全くの他人になることわかってるから泣くんだろう

This song is what made her become my favorite Vocaloid. Gotta thank Dixie for this one, even after all these years.
This song is NOT
I repeat
NOT about the so called "frindzone"
It's about a breakup.
You are in a friendzone when you try to get someone to like you in a romantic way by being a good friend but the person you like tells you that they only see you as a platonic friend and not as potential partner.
These too already were a couple and came to the conclusion that they need to breake up.
But stey still want to stay friends, because they still love each other. But they realize that staying together only hurts them.
That's a difference !
It's actually a really really sad song
:(
It's a relationship dying out... not a break up, or a friendzone, they stay in a relationship but it's really bad
A friendship after a relationship with someone that you still love is the most painful experience you will ever go through in your life.. stabs, gunshot wounds, or even broken bones heal.. but this cannot be healed.. especially if the other person has someone else they love..
I spent about 5 years watching this without knowing its meaning. Just knew about it now.
@@cyancrewmate1338 guess wht im not in a relationship so HAH (srry if tht do be offending u in any sort of way tho)
@@cyancrewmate1338 My ex and I are happier as friends. After the first 6 months, we were totally miserable together. We're both WAY better now that we have separate lives. Being friends after a relationship isn't painful if you realize that the relationship itself was painful.
This legit got me through my first breakup when i was 16... Almost ten years ago. Still a banger
when I saw the flashback pictures.. I started to ship them. Then few seconds after that, it's over. My ship is over.
この曲もそうだがこのPVが残ってることが何よりすごい

The last part when the guy realizes Luka was no longer on his side hurts me good. Like it is a realization to us that we are 'takers'. We are getting used on having them around, to the point that we're taking them for granted. But it's too late when we realize it.
omg is this what the song is about?
When I first listened to this three years ago, I was just like "Oh hey this is a cool song! Luka is so cool!" I knew what the whole song was about but I wasn't so concerned. Now looking back at this song two weeks after a bad break-up with my first boyfriend and actually reading the lyrics, it filled my eyes with tears AND I CRIED MY ASS OFF. *Don't do relationships, especially long-term relationships or this shit happens.*

Jokes aside, this is still a really good fucking song. Playing this in honor of my friend's relationship. Poor guy even gave her an engraved ring a few days before they broke up.
VoyeurTheNinja Sounds sad.
What's funny that people saying that Luka is the one breaking up with the black haired dude when in the beginning it clearly says that she's singing from the guys pov
So he's the one who's breaking up with her
Woahh 😮, your right 🤭
Yes that's right. In the manga, the boy is the one who breaking up with luka.
Yeah, he literally was the one who let go of her hand and she was confused as to why he was crying. Also he's lip syncing the words so
@@febricanadeak Ehhh? what's the name of the manga?? pls i wanna know 🥺
@@febricanadeak Ooh nvm lelz
8 years later, STILL AND WILL ALWAYS BE one of my fave vocaloid songs and one of the best to ever be made!
I really love all the subtle imagery that shows that their relationship has slowly died over the years.
For example the balloons. You first see that there's only one balloon, but then it shows how many different colored balloons that are all around them. I think it's showing that their relationship has changed from balloon to balloon over the years, constantly looking for a new balloon after one deflates, and so on. Until he finally realized that instead of spending his entire life trying to repair faulty balloons (their relationship) its best to let it go. Theres more examples of imagery, like the paper airplanes.
Doesn't the paper airplane show how Luka tries to keep her lover with her but at the end we see her sending them meaning she realized it was better to let her lover go or something? Also sorry for my English 😓

ah i which i had that kind of relationship with my computer, things arent the same as they used to be D:
what about the me who loves my puppy
does that count
Alison Roses depends on how deep it is
I was 13 when I discovered this. I'm Dutch and could barely read English. I was completely obsessing over this song, mainly because it came right in time for my 'teenage philosophy phase'. This videoclip made me think that there was so much meaning and spirituality behind the Japanese lyrics and English translation. My school notebooks are full of drawings of people being in love and love sickness, caused by this very song. Even though I did not understand it, I still knew that there was a sadness in this joyful beat.
Now I'm 19 and almost fluent in English. I just remembered this song, looked it up and felt incredibly nostalgic. I've read the translation. It is not that deep or spiritual, its just about a relationship that turned sour. But I'm not dissapointed, I'm so so happy that I finnaly can understand this song. The lyrics are very creative and the song overall still slaps. Best trip down memory lane ever!
I dont know how this song can still be so beautiful both in its song and in its storyboard
7 y.o me: "Just be friends! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻"
19 y.o me: "Just be friends! 👁️💧👄💧👁️💃🏻"
"If my wish could come true, I'd be reborn and go back to see you on those days."
"Coincidences that once sticked us degenerates and into the dark and are broken into pieces."
:'(
It was so perfect back then, we've gone past all of those together, but we've grown apart in the process...
...so much that there's no more point in staying together, no matter how much we insist on it. Holding onto memories of how perfect we once were...can no longer be the reason to hold us together like it once did.
"The hardest choice would be the best..."
I first heard this masterpiece in 2011, and it's now 2021. I used to listen to Vocaloid more back then, but naturally as I grew older I listened to other songs and styles.
However, I always come back to this song because of how amazing it is. It truly speaks about the universal feeling of a relationship you have with someone that used to be so good, but now it's broken beyond repair that it slips away or gets worse every time you try and fix it. It's like nothing can ever get back to how it used to, and it's really sad but you have to pick up the pieces and move on, while also wishing that you two at least remain friends.

I remember listening to this song when it first came out and cried but at the same time i couldn't understand why you would break up with someone when you love them and have been in a relationship for such a long time. Fast forward, i have been in a 7 year relationship with my college sweetheart. People change and feelings change. I know my love for him is slowly dying but at the same time i don't have the courage to tell him. I know now that you can love someone and be in a relationship for a long time but that doesn't guarantee that feelings will be the same and that is the scary part of being in a relationship. Waking up and realising you don't/ your partner doesn't feel the same anymore.
hoodz246 it’s how everything in life work i know it’s scary but how ever you lost your feelings and asked the person you used to love for a break up isn’t a bad thing at all you know.. did you ask yourself why do we go in relationships if it’s gonna end some day ? We need to be loved we need relationships to learn it’s the same
As thinking why would i live if I’m gonna die in the end so thinking like this is meaningless .. just.. live the moment don’t exhaust yourself i know many people just hold into some relationships bc they had good memories and it’s exhausting their souls but they never listen that it is wrong tho +
actually I’m not giving advices I just felt like talking about it this song is beautiful btw 😭
This song hurts too much. I've been in a relationship for the past 7 years and I love him so much, I don't want to be apart from him but we don't work as couple anymore. I'm building up the courage to tell him but I keep second guessing myself "What if I try a bit more?" "What if it gets better?" "What can I do for us to be happy together again?" I could swear he was the one, I love him, I don't want to leave him but we keep hurting each other, this relationship became a burden, we aren't happy anymore, we are just dragging it. What do I do with all the expectations and dreams we had? What do I do with the sweet memories? Where have those feeling gone to? As in the song, if I could wish for anything, I'd love to go back to those days, when we felt whole together. And if we break up, will he accept being my friend? Because I can't picture my life without him there, he's just so important to me, he can't just vanish, can he? Whatever happens, I'm sure my love and gratitude towards him will never change, I just wish we could have kept being happy together.
@@kynthea2302 Well this is why relationship counseling is a thing, just saying.

急に聴きたくなってきたけど、12年前とは思えないほどのクオリティだなぁ
You know, all those couple from shoujo mangas we read, especially the one shot, this is their future.
It's amazing what coming back to a song can do.
I found Just Be Friends around 3 or 4 years ago when I was starting highschool. I listened through it, thought it was awesome and didn't pay attention to the lyrics much.
Then I had my innocence taken away from me, knew what it felt like to think you were in love, and then to have that love taken away from you unexpectedly.
I listened to this song for the first time in years, and with my short yet (I'd like to think) deep emotional experiences this song reaches an entire different level.
I can't make it to the end of the video because I know how it ends, and I know how beautiful and how terrible this song is at the same time. This is truly a masterpiece. I knew vocaloid could be deep, but not to this extent.
:) agreed
I know what you mean. I always knew the song was sad but it never attached like it did right now. My girlfriend of 9 and a half months just broke up with me yesterday and its one of the hardest feelings I've ever had and I went to this song and idk why but I guess its helping me get it all out but I'm crying so much from it.
Same here... even though my Boyfriend of 2 years and I are still together.... this song like made me think of what it would be like to loose him and it made me so emotional. Like they are wearing promise rings and everything (which we both have) and like it's really crazy that the people who make these songs can tell such an emotional story.
Also I feel like people who have never been in actual love won't understand this song or actually know what it's about. Same with Romeo and Cinderella... you really have to have been in that kind of situation or experience different types "love" to understand these types of songs.
I dunno why....but I begun to think the song is about two chairs,who are in love with each other ...I know something is wrong with me
XD Yes!
i ship it
Nicole Davis ship sailed XD
Nicole Davis Now where are the fanfictions about Chair-chan and Chair-senpai?
hahaa thats a good question
I shed many tears to this song when I had to let someone go. I just really resonated with it back then. This helped me to let go. What I did was for the best and now I have no regrets in doing it. It's been almost 8 years since then.. I'm at the phase of Answer now. But I'm still thankful to this song for clearing my mind and helping me through that time to stay strong in my decision.

SyoShinozaki Hmm, you may be right. >__
Tbh all I could think about was the dancing cha cha chair program and Luka singing "Just be Len, All we gotta do is just be Len, Super Banana boy, Just be Len, All we gotta do is Just be Len, Just Be Len, Just be Len" When all of a sudden the guy jumps up and question whom Len is to which she replies "JUST A FRIEND-".
what's the banana thing about? lmao
Bananas are len's thing (just like Miku has a leek)
ooooooooooh gotcha
No just beat lens
+Kyoki Kitsune TBH All I could think of was Kyoki is a troll, a Luka hater. You put a lot of thought into your lyrics and came here just so you could post your dumbass comment.
Luka looking away from the paper planes on the floor represent the problems in their relationship or that the boyfriend wants to be let go which she’s ignoring.
Especially with the part the boyfriend is drawn screaming and cuts to Luka covering her ears, he wants her to hear him but she doesn’t want to admit things aren’t working.
the nostalgia is REAL but also, now that i'm older and maybe wiser, the lyrics that i've been so addicted singing to just hurt now. man.
This song actually made me cry when I was 10, and it still makes me cry when I'm 19 years old, turning 20 since I finally understood the song.
This is to nostalgic :')
I remember listening to this song all the time when I was a kid and thinking it was just about a rejection to a confession. I always listened to it and vibed out cause it was such a good song lmao. I cant really think of it like that anymore tho...Anyway I have a long story that relates to this song. Buckle up!
I got Into my first REAL relationship awhile back, it was an online relationship which isn't the best but it was still the realest one for me. We played games together 24/7, texted all day and talked. I even bought more games so we could play together more often. We would do this for weeks and it was the happiest feeling ever when I was with him. We had inside jokes and we'd play with his friends alot. He would always tell me that one day we will meet and he'd hug me and give me tons of kisses. He called me his Queen and I called him my simp lmao. He just said and did alot of sweets things.
All I thought about was him when we dated, I was really in love.
I think I was with him for a couple of months but I remember we started playing less together and wouldn't text all day as we used to. And I was so confused as to why I didn't feel as excited or as happy with him as I used to be. He would still send me a good morning message every morning and good night one which he never failed to do even once, I was always happy when I woke up because of this haha. But I could tell something was different as time passed but I didn't know what.
Since it was my first relationship I was always nervous with my feelings because I didn't want to hurt him since I liked his so much, but he'd always tell me it was okay and not to be nervous since we were in this together. I remember one day I was feeling really nervous and I decided to text him. I remember feeling like our relationship was at a stop and our feelings weren't as strong anymore, but i didn't consciously know that.
I told him that I was scared that I might have mistaken my feelings for him and that I might think of him more as a friend. But I told him I wasn't sure and I didn't know what to do. He told me it was okay and all that and the whole time I was crying and it was a very new but weird feeling for me. After that I told him nvm and sorry, I was just overwhelmed and i was pretty sure I did like him as a boyfriend. Which is true.
I've had really bad anxiety ever since I was a kid and I've been to therapy for it so that might have played a role in it. But I wasn't lying I did sincerely love him. I'm pretty sure he was really hurt but he didn't really say much about it.
I regret telling him very much.
Things went back to normal for like 2 days before he stared acting weird. He'd ignore my messages for hours even a whole day and i had no clue why. I was mad but I didn't really waste my time dwelling on it. This went on for days and we grew more apart but still texted from time to time. From what I remember I think I woke up one day with a long message from him and I knew immediately what it was gonna be.
I won't ever forget the feeling. I read the message and it pretty much said something along the lines of "we should break up, I think of you more as a friend now, I'm so sorry, let's be friends still." There was more but that's unrelated, I distinctly remember having tears fall out of my eyes right away but I like smiled and laughed ? It was such a weird feeling, I cant explain it. I remember tearing up and my heart hurting like it was weighed down. Like I knew it was gonna happen for sure but I didn't expect it to hurt so much. At first I was okay, I felt sad but I wasn't full on crying.
That was Until he started ignoring me in general, he said we'd be friends and he never kept his promise. At this point, I grew depressed and felt like crying whenever. I cried to my mom for the first time ever which Is still embarrassing to think about. I was very sad and I just wanted the feeling to go away. I had this depressed feeling for a few weeks after.
Now this is where this song comes into play. I was still depressed at the time it had only been like 2 days maybe? I remembered the title of the song and got even sadder cause the title was just be friends lmao. Anyways, I remember watching and reading the lyrics of the song and feeling a very different vibe from when I last listened to it. I always thought the song was about rejection but I came to see it was about a dying relationship. The lyrics were like an exact copy of my relationship and I was struck with sadness. I cried cause it was all to familiar.
The reason I'm writing this is because if it weren't for this song, I wouldn't have noticed that my relationship was dying. It was already fading away and its a good thing it ended. From the time we started playing less with eachother and stopped texting not really caring if we had interaction, it was already a doomed relationship. When I texted him, it wasn't because I thought of him as a friend, it was because my feelings were fading but I still loved him dearly, just not as a much. The excitement was gone and we grew a bit angry at eachother for no reason, which was a sign of toxicity. As cliché as it sounds, this song really opened my eyes and helped me get over the breakup sooner since I knew it wasn't me that was the problem. I don't blame him for breaking up with me, I do hate him a bit haha but I don't blame him.
I remember at one point in our relationship when it was dying, I was gonna ask to breakup but right after I started typing I started crying? Like I knew it was for the best but I was still very sad. In the end I obviously didn't, but if I had It probably would have been a very similar situation to the characters in the video.
All in all, I had many happy memories with him and he was a very good first bf to me even if he started ignoring me after haha. I cant really think back to the memories without feeling a mixture of hurt and happiness. Sometimes its okay to let go instead of forcing a relationship to stay, both parties will be more happy in the end.
It will hurt a lot, but its rewarding in the end, trust me.
Thanks for reading my first breakup story 💔
I just legit broke up with my first online bf a day ago, the whole story is almost exactly same XD this song really got me think about our realationship twice. Funny, how there is other people going through the exactly same stuff. :')
Anyway i hope you feel much better now and have gotten over it :3
I was about to sleep and i read your story
Just a mixed emotions (and some confusion) since i didn't have a relationship with someone b4
Thank for telling your story 😊
This happened to me with a distance relationship two times. One in which we met and the other in which we don't. After all that I understood that I could not date people so far away from me
Omg this is a saga and I love it. Whether you meant it or not, it was a beautiful, storylike retelling
Aww so bitter sweet. It's kinda beautiful 😢❣️
This is my favorite Luka song and it isn't her most popular song for no reason, not only does she sounds amazing in it this song is also very emotional and realistic, it strikes deep in the heart of people who knows how hard it is to deal with the experience of breaking up with someone.
I listen to this song religiously! I don't care what anyone says, this will forever and always be one of Lukas best songs! The chills I got listening to this for the first time remains the same even 15 years later, no other vocaloid song has hit me as hard as Just Be Friends. The pure emotion you hear in an androids voice is scary good, I will never not love this song.
wait so they were engaged when this song is supposed to be sung?
Dang... makes it all the more sad.
How is it sad? It's mutual isn't it?
Even if mutual the death of love is always sad.
David Umstattd K so I rewatched this and tears welled up
Iris
sorry I guess
David Umstattd this hits me hard for that reason, i find it hard to listen to this due to that even though it is a good song, been a while so i thought id may as well and it's not doing me much good it seems
As someone who has recently been on the receiving end of this song. I honestly really feel for the girl and it's funny how 3 years ago, when I first listened to it, I couldn't understand it at all but ever since my heart was broken for the reason that the guy breaks up with Luka, I think I can finally understand the pain he went through before he could finally tell me.
"Just eat plants"
XD
XD
XDDDDDDDDDDDDD
XD
noW I keep hearing it
Throughout the video I can just hear the characters portrayed silently questioning themselves "...How did it all come to this point?" and many parts of the visual illustration and audio also articulate that resulting feeling of disillusionment and exasperation extremely well.
Frankly, up until now I've never really realised how much relevance this song has to many of the life situations I've been through, and how relatable this song feels to me. Not because I have relationship issues as depicted in the video, but just the dreaded idea in general that inevitable changes, that might not necessarily be for the better, will come at times in the face of your helplessness.
This track has straight up impeccable production, Dixie Flatline really kills it here.
the fact that this song is older than so many other kids that use vocaloid songs in their tik tok videos, not even knowing its vocaloid,,,,
oof that hits home
That's actually so true... I started listening to vocaloid in 2020 or something... That's sooo late and I regret that I didn't start earlier! But this song just gives me 2011 flashbacks
It doesn't even make any sense bc I didn't know about this song when I was little, but I just get instant thoughts of my childhood, that's so crazy somehow...
And there these kids, using vocaloid "sounds" on tiktok... That is making me sad
Man, it's been 12 years. I suddenly feel old.
Same here haha
one bad gloop
ikr...
3:36 "Just once, just once
If I could have my wish to come true
I'd be born again and again,
And go see you on those days" That line broke me into pieces. They broke up while they still love each other but things juts got toxic between them. ah ffuck
BUT THEY WERE CONNECTED BY THE RED STRING OF FATE!!! (T ^ T)
Amazing yet devastatingly sad song! Reading the manga makes me appreciate it even more since it really puts things into perspective, and it has lots of nods to the MV which is cool too!
Whats the name of the manga?
@@emillyrodrigues7524 Just Be Friends, same name as the song!
Nobody talking about how insanely well produced this is? 🎧
当時は革新的な音楽だと思った
今聞いても、斬新でいつまでも色褪せない驚きがある
久しぶりに聴きたくなって聴いてるけど、やっぱりいい曲すぎる…😭
かなしいよね
何年経っても好きだなー
今聴いてもこの曲は虜になるなぁ。
サビが良すぎる
SOOO GLAD I listent it again in 2024 ! It’s been a while !
I feel nostalgic, it was very nice back then, when I was watching animes every minute of my day, drawing naively, and imagining some cliché stories on my own.
I was so mad that Luka wasn’t going out with her friend lmao, i was like « they’re so pretty together, just kiss !!! »
I was just a innocent child when I discovered this song, 4 or 5 years ago. I knew it was a sad song, but honestly didn't understand nothing, and didn't care about.
Now, seeing the video again and again, the lyrics make so much sense wow
I love how they incorporated the red string of fate :3
x3
I'm 19 now, heard this song back in 2011 and I was 8 years old, brings back so many memories of listening to miku, luka, and ren and rin, kinda happy that vocaloid is getting big again, the rebirth of hatsune miku is at dawn
What's more sad? the song or the story?
14 YEARS AGO AND IT'S STILL SUCH A BANGER
I don’t know why but I come back to this song after like, all bad encounters I have with others. It doesn’t have to be about a relationship or relating to what this song is about at all. This song is just so powerful emotionally
The boy looks Korean for some odd reason...
Maybe It's the hair?
+Hetastuck Trash Maybe? XD
Lol yes I thought of the same thing too 😂😂😂
the artstyle looks korean for me
Hahaha I think so
Ya know, for such upbeat music, this is a sad song.
Man, I miss old youtube! This was the peak era, AMV's and original songs everywhere!!
it’s nostalgic song like this that hits different. It makes you remember yourself back then so innocent full of dreams then you look a yourself now and think was this how I expected my life to be in the future back then.😞
I’m crying
dat ring at 4:53 be like " they see me rolin', they hatin'"
My 14 year old humor doesn't understand why this comment is so underrated.
What the actual fuck was I on 4 years ago to make this comment........
@Erich von Braun gurl-- me neither.
who still listen to this in 2016?
(^^)ノ
2018 XD
Me ^^
ME :/
I'm so sick of finding these comments on every single video I find.
I remember listening to this when I was s teen and thinking how beautiful the art and both of the characters, I still feel the same 💓
진짜 회자되는 이유가 괜히 있는 게 아니다 이때 보카로 노래들 싹다 멜로디 가사 PV 빼놓을 수 없이 다 좋았음
이노래 초딩때도 소름돋아했었는데 성인이 된 지금 들어도 소름돋게 좋음
ㅇㅈ
13 year old me: haha good song
21 year old me: *crying because i know what heartbreak feels like so the song hit different now*
22year old* yeah, you grown and sudenly start to understand other layers on the song :'p
この曲聴くとほんとに切ない気持ちになる大好きすぎる曲
even with 11 years old this song is so emotional and i love the character design of the video, so immersive. Even a computerized voice could get emotions
ウェディングを連想させるような真っ白い服装で別れを告げるの、残酷さが一層増してる感じがする…
ニコニコ動画で本家は表示になってしまったけれど、公開された当時からずっと好きな曲です。
WHY VOCALOIDS SONGS THEY SOUND SO HAPPY DAPPY BUT WHEN U READ THE DAMN LYRICS IT TURNS DARK AND SAD AND AND uh just forget i said anything
+Kiyomi Love I KNOW, RIGHT ?!??!!?
So trueeee.
Vocaloid be singing about cutting by your own fucking head off and it sounds like a church song
