Japanese Subs • 【巡音ルカ】アンサー【オリジナル】 Niconico Douga www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18458368 this is the PV that I released at Anime Expo2012. I hope you enjoy it :)
I was addicted to just be friends when it came out, and I just listened to this today. I like that he took 3 years to make Answer, it actually lines up to the reality of losing someone you truly love after years later. The calm after the storm as you will. You meet someone new but faded memories still come back every now and then. my mind is blown.
I think you may get it wrong. Just be friend is sang by Luka but as the perspective of the boy which how he felt the relationship; while Answer as Luka's perspective how she felt after the boy broken up with her.
+'iffah Hamid Me: *Dials 911* Yes, this is an emergency! 911: What's the emergency? ME: VOCALOID! 911: That's not an emergency. ME: WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY?
I remember listening to "Just be Friends" and "Answer" as a teen in late middle school years/early high school years. And I love both of those songs. At the time, I didn't have a boyfriend. Then, few years later, I slowly forget these songs, I graduated from high school, and entered college (I am currently a junior). Still no boyfriend. And last 1-2 years ago, I met a guy. We connected... I suppose. We became instantly friends and I was in cloud nine of that year. We hung out together during some weekends and vacation days. Then, we held hands and cuddle with each other. But we weren't a couple. I had some feelings for him. He didn't want to be in a relationship. I didn't tell him my feelings for his sake. Then, later, our friendship just fell apart... I guess. There was no fight, but we weren't getting along as we used to. I started getting irritated with him. It seemed like I was the only caring person. And when I was beginning to hate my feelings toward him, I simply decided to cut my ties with him. I began to be depressed for months. I moped alot and stayed in my room alot. I am currently trying to pick myself up. Since I was emotionally involved with him, the process of getting over him is taking a while... (considering I only meet him not that long ago). But.. I finally feel better these days. Then, I remember this song. Even though he wasn't my boyfriend and I wonder if what I actually felt toward him was actually love, I think this song accurately describes/represents what I am feeling. ... Sorry for this emotional comment lol. But I feel relieved to be writing this.
"I've never regretted our decision, but sometimes I wonder. what if everything went fine as we dreamed" "you'll probably live on my heart forever" 💔💔💔💔💔💔
The end is happy. In a clearer translation, Luka states that even though she thinks of her old boyfriend from time to time, part of her will always keep him special. And though her heart aches sometimes from the breakup, she wants to move on and find a new love, and that her heart is finally healed. Better said, she's finally able to be strong enough to move on by herself to a happier world. But she'll never forget her past love: and that from now on, they'll always just be friends. :-)
+Naomi well considering the song before was her singing his perspective of letting her go cause he doesn't love her anymore i'm guessing he moved on to someone he actually liked :)
Xoachel wait I thought he was letting her go because *she* didn't like him anymore (or they both just fell out of love) and he was reminiscing the times when they were still in love and that's why he was crying?
Naomi there is a manga about "just be friends" the main character is the boy (in the perspective ) in the end ,he is with another girl so saaad he was so stupid 😢😢😢
Listening to this as I write a letter to my childhood best friend, explaining why we need to go our own separate ways. It’s devastating, but there’s no other way, and I want us to end things on good terms. We’ve been friends since kindergarten, and now I’m about to go off to college, but our friendship has been extremely rocky these past few years. We haven’t spoken at all in months, with our communication being spotty for basically an entire year and a half. It’s so hard to do this, but I don’t think our friendship is good for either of us anymore, and I’d much rather see us succeed individually than try to force something that just isn’t working. This song definitely applies to more than just romantic relationships, and it truly is helping me get through the loss of my best friend
Just be friends and Answer is literally the story of my life. It's so weird, I haven't heard this song in years and accidentally listened to it through spotify and realized how much it resonates with me right now. 😢 Me and my fiance broke up due to different goals in life but I know how much we still loved each other then. It was the worst heartbreak I've ever felt in my life. I thought I was physically dying from the pain. Right now we're still friends and still care for each other a lot even though we both gone our separate ways, he is still in my heart.
I don't know why, but I broke into tears at 3:07, "As long as this feeling stays with you and me, we are friends." Throughout the song, I think that is the most painful part in the lyric and then JBF whistles came along with it. Damn man.
I love how relatable this is for just about everyone. Even if you weren't really dating the person you're thinking about while listening to these songs. For me, I got friendzoned and he never liked me, so for him it was nothing but I went through the same or similar feelings that Luka did in the song
It is a happy ending, although their love is over she still keeps a space in her heart to keep the memories. She's moved on and her heart still thinks back to the good times but, she knows it had to be done and she's continuing with her life finding new love. She'll never forget the other
In beginning: Me: Cool a song I haven't heard before Near the middle: Me: why is this familiar? Near the end: Me: Ya know it's kinda like a continuation of just be friends, maby its unofficial or am I over-thinking this? End: Me: *flips table* I KNEW IT
Damn, I can't believe that the songs that I used to sing so much would cause me emotional damage after years of not hearing it. I used to jam JBF and Answer when I was in middle school. Now, that I'm in college and just had the worst breakup 2 years ago from my bestfriend who became my lover and now stranger, this hits different. It felt like right now, this is my answer to what I am feeling all these years. Some lines broke me because it felt so relatable especially in this line, "I've never regretted our decision, but sometimes I wonder. What if everything went fine as we dreamed." Even though the break up was my decision alone, since our relationship became toxic and my feelings for him were dying. I sometimes ask myself what if we're both not toxic or at least we met in different time where we are both okay. Anyhow, I don't have any plans to be with him again anymore. I truly never regretted my decision on breaking up with him since it helped me discovering/knowing myself and reach this far. But sometimes I ask myself if what is happening to his life right now.
This is a happy ending. She's found someone else, someone special, and all of this is just the heartbreak after it's healed. The pain (thorns) will still be there if she looks hard enough, but more often than not when she look into her heart for him it will be happy memories. At least, that's how I interpet the song.
i think she just realized how much she loved him before she leaves him i guess?? this scene looks like it's from "just be friends" but this time it's luka
It's been so many years since then.. I've even forgotten how his voice sounds. Yet still sometimes when I walk around the city, I think I see him on my peripheral. I turn around to see him only to find out it wasn't him. Sometimes my memories of when he loved me echo in my thoughts when I sit alone in my room. But now my memories of him and those days continue to grow dimmer as time passes. Sometimes I don't even remember him at all for months. And yet I know I'll never forget him somehow.
I remember the day I accidentally found this song (I was looking for Just be Friends video), imagine my surprise when I found this... an actual continuation to the original story! It gave me one huge smile (not only because I loved the lyrics, pictures and video), but also the song... left me with such a positive vibe~
My first love just broke up with me. It was on good terms and we’re still friends, but he’s the sweetest, most perfect guy, and I can tell after several boyfriends I’m still going to think of him like this.
I like how they made this song after Just Be Friends to continue what happened to her and stuff, I like songs like those when they make a different song of the one before to tell the ending of the story c:
I've moved away from my first boyfriend, who I still deeply love, we dated four years ago and I'm still not over him, listening to these songs really doesn't help, why do I do this to myself
Can you believe that when I Iistened to Just be Friend in around 2012, it took me nearly 3 years to find Answer which I didn't even find by myself - it was recommended by RU-vid. 2015: happy beat, a bit sad 2020: destroyed completely
I love this video. The design, motion graphics and colours are so lovely! And the song is so touching. It heals and makes me feel calm. Still bittersweet but also with no grudges or resentment, I love this.
suddenly remembered this song after listening to just be friends, then realized it's not available on spotify. i need this there so i can stream it nonstop and be heartbroken:(
When they started whistling just be friends at the end I started to cry and continued crying for about 3 minutes. Both of these songs have such a special place in my heart. :')
I've played this song for like more than a hundred times in my iPod and I never get tired of listening to it... I don't know why I have this feeling of sweet regret in my heart everytime I listen to this...
For me, the part that makes this the perfect "Answer" is how, starting at 3:13, the "Just Be Friends" tune is whistled. Lovely lyrics and equally lovely art aside, I feel that little detail alone ties both vids together amazingly well. :)
okay so i return to this video over and, i can't help but remember my first and truly love. it's always a reminder that, even if we fell apart, it was love after all, but we had to split up for different reasons, now he is happy and in love again with someone new, i'm more than sure that i'm not in love anymore because, we finally, after months could be friends again, and after i got my contact with him again i just can't picture us together. and i think that's how things are supposed to be. just friends. but, always remembering, that, it was love, and somehow a beautiful experience that i'd like to have again, but with someone new. never get attached to your past. things happen for a reason, he's happy now and better than it was here in the city that i keep living. me? i'm still looking for someone special again. but things take time. and this song will always remember me not to completely forget someone special from my past, but, remember that it's possible to have a good time and good memories with someone even if it wasn't meant to be.
This song came out during a very difficult time for me, I had just survived being raped by someone I loved (weird, I know) and man... Even after almost 10 years I feel like that 16 year old who cried every night. This song just perfectly sums up what I feel sometimes.
I really love this song even though I am sad that they did not get back together but I am really happy that Luka is happy and she moved on and she smiles at the end Iowa think that's awesome :)
I disagree with the idea of a third part where they get back together. I like this one, and how it ended. They never forget their good memories and times together, because they were better off as friends from the beginning. It's very realistic, sometimes your first love isn't forever, but they'll always be in your heart.
The whistle at the end makes me tear up every time. JBF came out at around the time my ex and I split up, so it really sticks with me. Lovely, lovely sequel.
Mark it. It's been FIVE YEARS since I've heard this song. Daaaaaaammmmmn Fictionally They'd just went through their whole break up and this song in that time frame. Daaaaaammmmn i'm old
