10 years and I'm still coming back 🙏

*"Goodbyes hurts the most when the story isn't finished."*

Fact about the movie: The person who made this made it in memory of his friend who died of cancer

his last words 😢

So that little boy was the most innocent villain in whole anime world.

That child had no idea he would instantly become the most hated child in anime

Even after all these years, this video never fails to make me cry.

2024 and I'm still crying so bad.

This movie was literally the definition of the quote "It's sad when the person you made memories with, became a memory."

That last words "You Can Hug Me Now" Still Hurts Me

You're alone You're on your own So what? Have you gone blind? Have you forgotten what you have and what is yours? Glass half empty, glass half full Well, either way, you won't be going thirsty Count your blessings not your flaws You've got it all You lost your mind in the sound There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown You're in control Rid of the monsters inside your head Put all your faults to bed You can be king again You don't get what all this is about You're too wrapped up in your self-doubt You've got that young blood, set it free You've got it all You lost your mind in the sound There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown You're in control Rid of the monsters inside your head Put all your faults to bed You can be king There's method in my madness There's no logic in your sadness You don't gain a single thing from misery Take it from me You've got it all You lost your mind in the sound There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown You're in control Rid of the monsters inside your head Put all your faults to bed You can be king You've got it all You lost your mind in the sound There's so much more, you can reclaim your crown You're in control Rid of the monsters inside your head Put all your faults to bed You can be king again

I keep coming back to this video since ~6 years, one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever witnessed.

"I hate children" *-literally the whole fandom*

"it's sad when the person you created memories with became a memory."

It is emotional not only the movie, the clip and all the memories but also seeing ppl after 10 years still posting answers and giveing memory to this video

10 years passed by so fast... i still l0ve this one lool

I like how this was created 7 years ago and the weebs keep it alive

For newcomers: this is your first time here and this will be not your last time coming and crying here

It's 2024 and i still can't get over this anime or this amv

So many emotions in a single song. I remember this story perfectly, I feel old seeing that it has been 10 years since this video.

Friend: why do you hate children? Me: Shows how gin disappeared

“Stop crying cause he died Smile cause he existed”

What a blast from the past. Both this video and the anime.

The song definitely speaks to those of us who have had trauma in our childhoods. We weren’t given a fair hand in our situations because the people who were suppose to be our care takers didn’t know how to take care of us… or they did what they felt was the best they could. However, becoming the adult your inner child wanted allows for you to be there for that version of yourself. Give them uppies, let them lay their head on your should and let them cry. Whisper “I’m here for you now, and I won’t go anywhere. I’m always with you and we will work through how you feel together” . I’ve been doing this for almost a year and there has been so much more discovery, awareness, healing, and love that I can’t even begin to describe. Love yourself ❤

This movie is hella sad but imagine saying “I watched my girlfriend grow up”

"come here Hotaru, i can finally hug you."

A dear friend showed me this song years ago, and every time I heard it I thought of her. She took her own life a few months ago...... I miss you so much every day, thank you for this beautiful memory

I clicked randomly on this video, just to see what the hype was about. Did not expect to feel teary eyed about a movie I have not watched. 10/10 For those who are like me and did not recognise this movie, its name is: Hotarubi no Mori e => Into the Forest of Fireflies' light

The 0.5 seconds she got to touch Gin was probably the happiest time of her life

"Come here...Hotaru,I can finally hug you." *Hello depression my old friend,fancy seeing you here.*

Coming to back to this song in 2024. Surprised it's been 10 years now. Time flies by.

no matter how numb i sometimes feel, this video is always grabing my heart through all the walls i've built and makes me cry

"someday, somewhere, I know, we will meet again." -Gin | Hotarubi no Mori e

Hotaru only hugged Gin for like 3.5 seconds. Those 8 years just gave her 3 seconds to finally give Gin one last hug before he completely disappears.

This video was a part of my childhood and had partly carved me as a person. I will never forget the first time I've watched this, it was when I was 10, browsing random amvs on youtube. My 10 year old me was crying an awful lot after she realized what was happening, and till this day, I haven't moved on.

10 years and I'm still coming back to this amazing video. 23 now and it feels so incredibly nostalgic.

Top 10 greatest villians in Anime: 1. That boy

Don't worry.... U aren't the only one who's listening to this masterpiece in March 2021....

Idk if you guys knew it already or not yet. the singer, Lauren Aquilina, is actually the lyricist + composer of IVE's debut track “Eleven” and created the demo version of it. She's now becoming lyricist of some popular Kpop songs. Genius indeed

I can't believe it's been ten years already. These memories make me cry!!! I really hate 2024...

_How to make weebs cry using one sentence_ “Come here Hotaru, I can finally touch you.”

"come hotaru i can finally hug you" Okay I'm crying

2013:crying 2014:crying 2015:crying 2016:crying 2018:crying 2019:crying 2020:crying 2021:crying 2022:crying 2023:crying 2024:crying

Do remind me when another 10 year passes again. I still can't believe that 10 years have passed. It felt like time was just alipping through my fingers. I thought I couldn't make it this far yet here I am, after 10 years, going back to this video that I stumbled upon 10 years ago, feeling the same emotions as I did back then.

It's a short story but the feeling stays with you longer.

i’m just glad that Hotaru isn’t the cause of Gin’s disappearance, imagine the guilt she would feel

I seriously need a second version where he comes back, I am still waiting...

Came back due to a Tiktok video. So many memories 🧎

“I can finally hug you hotaru” Mental trauma

“I love you, Hotaru” “I finally can hug you!” Gin...

2013: crying 2014: crying 2015: crying 2016: crying 2017: crying 2018: crying 2019: crying 2020: crying 2021: crying 2022: crying 2023: crying 2024: crying Ever: crying

11 years later and i still love this video.. this is actually so nostalgic.

"The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory."

I came back here after like 4 years. 117M views 1.4M likes. You’ve grown.

I remember watching this video about 6 years ago and crying, even without having watched the movie. Today I found it again and ... damn, I cried again, Just imagining living something like that, discarding how fantastical the final scene is (about magically disappearing), breaks my heart.

After 8 fucking years i am still coming back to this song

let's not lie we had a mental breakdown when gin disappeared.

The fact that we all came back to this had a really huge meaning Still here, crying again

this movie has literally became my comfort anime ever since i was a kid, it never changed how i feel whenever i watch it. hopefully Ill pass this on with my kids.

it's been 10 years but I'm still mad at that child

Who is still watching this while is still Quarantine Edit:Thanks for the likes 👍❤

just remember this before you get mad at anybody he died with a smile meaning he was happy

I fell in love with this video years ago, to this day it’s still one of the best AMV videos I have ever seen. Thank you for making it and tremendous job! 😁

crazy to think this came out 10 years ago.

the author of "Hotarubi no Mori e" made this movie as a tribute for her friend who died of cancer 😔✊

when he said "i can finally hug you now" i straight up died from emotions.

Most viewed AMV of all time.

I wish this video never delete❤ this remind me how time has passed

" *SOME PEOPLE STAY IN YOUR HEART, BUT NOT IN YOUR LIFE* " - Anonymous

"All gin wanted is to hug a human.." -Gin's friends

Me coming here after 5 to 6 years love this song❤

After years of this video getting recommended, I finally clicked this. What a gift. Gin ;__; 💕 This AMV still manages to remind me of how I felt watching this short film many summers ago and also during one of my favorite college classes when discussing literary analysis and poetry; perfect song choice and selection of shots highlighting this story. My heart still twists when I remember the way this ends (that animation where the protagonist embraces Gin's kimono as he fades and she collapses to the ground still gets me). This aged like a fine wine, thank you for this work of art!

The fact there's still so many people commenting here just means how good this anime is.

"Sometimes the best person comes to our life just to teach us how to let go."

Here I am, 10 years later, and I still can't get this out of my head. Thank you for making such a video, I will cry every time.

Someone in the comments said that this video was made in the memory of videos's owner who died due to cancer This will forever linger our hearts

8 Years later, if you're watching this you're a legend

The happiest moment in her life is also the saddest moment

Is it just me starting to tear up when i discover this song again?

When I watch this video I feel so sad and sad but I really like it too.😢❤

That child would never know that he has just killed a man.

Mom: "why are you crying?" "Is just an anime cartoon?" "The anime cartoon":

2024, still unforgettable anime ❤

It’s been a few years since I first seen this AMV, heard this song and got immediate flashbacks and had to come back to see this one more time😭

how irony, the movie only takes 45 minutes to makes me feel the pain of losing someone that will never come back :(

why do i feel like i lost something that i never had.

This video is more than just a video at this point, its a part of life.

The author made this movie as a tribute to her friend who died of cancer:(

Does the person that made this amv know that they're basically a legend now lol.

i remember watching this video so many years ago and crying and here i am again… 10 years in insane though

Biggest scam ever "Come Hotaru, i can finally touch you"

My friend: “You will become depressed if you watch this movie.” Me: *”Yes.”*

I NEVER PLANNED TO CRY THIS MUCH HUAAAAA

So after 9 years, this glorious memory is still making people cry.

Nobody: Everyone who saw the movie: ThAT dAmN KId
