can some one please tell me what happend sorry for my ignorance but all i got from the 3 episodes is nothing? why did he stop talking with the girl from the first episode ?
i re watched it and this is what i got So basically Takaki and Akari went off to their own ways in the future, with Akari engaged to another man, and Takaki is seemingly on a breakdown and it seems like he still hasn't gotten over the past. At the very end scene though when they crossed each other by the railtracks, they try to look back but is cut in a by a train. Once the train is past, we see that Akari has already left as the train went by symbolising that she has already moved on with her life. I also suppose that it was it was this scene that Takaki has finally moved on as well, as he chose continued walking his way instead of chasing back after her. We don't really see Kanae though at the end, we only see her waving goodbye to Takaki at the airport, and we see her doing this thing she loves, surfing. So you can assume that she has moved on as well, even though she never had the chance to confess her love for Takaki. She never confessed because she realized that he was searching for something greater than what she can give him. Basically this isn't your everyday ordinary true love romance where the boy and girl ends up together. Makoto Shinkai, the creator of 5 cm Per Second has always taken on this theme of distant love, desires of maintaning relationships, and the isolating feelings of loneliness. I think it really shows how distant relationships can drift apart easily, if you don't do something to maintain it. Both Takaki and Akari longed to maintain their relationship, but the reason why they didn't continue to send mails and phone calls was because both of them were scared that the other had forgotten about them. Both Takaki and Akari end up with unsent letters and mail, because they were too afraid of how the other would react. It also shows that how powerful one single letter could be, because IF one of them had the guts to do it, then maybe they'd still have a relationship to this day. It shows that long distant relationships are also take a lot of effort, and it really is true because I myself have a hard time maintaining friendships from the past when I lived in a different place.
ListenShadow Like for " ... It shows that long distant relationships are also take a lot of effort, and it really is true..." it really take a lot of effort to maintain the distant relationship. Not only for one, but also both of two people in that relationship.
I've read the manga. "Akari just never expected to face him again." That's the difference between Takaki and Akari. She's moved on and has lost hope on them ever reuniting. That's why she doesn't wait for the train to pass. Takaki, realising she's not there and she's moved on does the same and accepts that love is lost. Why do you even think she's engaged? Because she's moved on.
This movie forever carved a little piece in my heart hollow, as years passed by I’d think that I gradually forgot about it. but every damn time I started to feel like I finally buried this sad little piece in my mind, this song just appeared out of nowhere and keep reminding me the pain I used to felt many years ago. I am not complaining, though. I can cry to this song, feel sad about the crush that never happened, but at the same time I am grateful that this song provided me a safe shelter to unleash my regrets and negative emotions. this experience is too beautiful to let go. It’s that time of the year to rewatch and reset myself once again.
after watching 5cm for a couple times, the strongest person in this movie is the girl from the 2nd episode. she loved someone who couldn't love her back, her life was falling apart and she had no future, no hope. Yet she picked herself back up. Just do one thing at a time and do it well, and everything will be alright. I learned this from her. Every now and then when I feel like everything is going wrong, I watch the 2nd episode. I'll do what I do best and everything will be alright.
This film really fucks me up, it's not that we only cry for the characters, but a lot of us can relate to them.....we cry for our time what was, what is now and what could have been.
When I was 15, in high school, I fell in love with this wonderful, lovely girl, her name was Marta. I still remember the first time I heard her feeble, tender voice as she got into the school bus, at her first day of school, (she was two years younger than me): her golden curls,her adorable cute face, her glowing smile, those big, shiny green eyes.. I've never felt anything like that before, I ended up loving her for all of my high school years, secretly, quietly, I wrote so many poems thinking about her; I've never had the chance to tell her about my feelings, she was the prettiest, most adorable girl in the whole school, everybody adored her (duh!!), while I was just a kinda lonely, nerdy dude, I had the highest grades of the whole school, so yeah, I had no chance.. A couple of years after I finished high school, I was about 20, I was having dinner with some of my former classmates, and at a certain point - I don't even remember how we got there - we ended up talking briefly about her too.. At the end of the dine, just when we were about to split, one of my classmates stopped me before getting back to my car, and she said to me: "hey, do you remember Marta, right? I was told that she actually liked you, during high school, like she was somehow in love with you, she just thought you were just too much of a misanthrope to even approach you..." As you can imagine, my heart broke into a thousand pieces, I hardly kept my composure in front of my friend, I just mumbled something, like "Really? I barely remember her, so, yeah.. I don't care.." I got in the car, utterly shocked, speechless, I waited for all my friends to leave the restaurant, I came back, hit the bar, alone: now, y'all need to know I've never drunk a single drop of alcohol before that day, but for the first time I felt the need to destroy my precious, noble brain cells into that shit, to get completely wasted: I did, I slept/cried-like-a-bitch in the fucking car all night long, all alone, I just wanted to kill myself.. Now I'm 25, I finished college successfully, became a doctor, I'm working my ass off, I had a couple of girls, here and there, but nothing remoltely comparabIe to my first love.. I will never love anybody like her, my enchanting Muse; friends told me that she's been in a relationship for about three-four years with a good young man, and that they're still together: I'm happy for her, I truly am, because it means that he takes good care of her, and that she is loved as she deserves to be: but at the same time I'm tremendously, immeasurably sad, because I lost my only chance to be with my Princess, forever.. Sorry for my English, if there's any mistake, I'm sorry, I'm from Italy, and frankly I don't even want to read back what I've just written, my eyes are too damn teary!! Just, don't make my mistake, please, I'm begging you, go out there, while your beloved is still single, tell him/her what you feel for him/her, or you'll end up being a miserable, mishantrope, hopeless, nothing-but-a-well-functioning-working-machine like me.. :(
Mutta Nanba That's sad.. really sad. I still love my first love too. I cannot forget him no matter what I do and just like you, I also never had a chance telling him how I feel for him. It's the biggest regret of my life.. not letting him know. It was already too late when I realized that I already have the courage to do so. I thought the years and the distance would just make me forget him. But as the years pass by and as he kept his distance.. my love for him grew stronger and I realize how much I love him. I have never been into a relationship even up to now. Sometimes I ask myself.. After him, will I really be able to completely love someone else, knowing for a fact that deep in my heart, there is a space that is only for him? I wonder. He caused so much pain and sadness in my heart but still, I am very thankful that he came into my life. I know everything now are just but memories.. But I don't want to forget those.. I want to hold on to those memories even if it sometimes tear me apart for just by thinking of him.. always warms my heart. I hope and pray that despite of the regret that you're feeling, I hope that more than that, you'll feel grateful.. grateful that at some point in time, she also felt the same way for you.=)
Mutta Nanba It was a sad history. I'm really sorry man, I don't know you but I wish things have ended up well for you. If makes you feel better, you're not alone, there are more people that share this same bad experience, just like you. Myself, for example and I'm pretty sure everybody that will reply to your comment aswell. So, you're not alone. We all are connected by this sadness. I felt really sad for you because I know how it is.
Don't give up on your life for a loving delusion +KoeSeer. Get up, fight away again, you can! Live a true love, no a lie! I read your story in other video)
“I still don't know what it really means to grow up. However, if I happen to meet you, one day in the future, by then, I want to become someone you can be proud to know.”
it took me over 10 yrs, i tried to forget but the more i tried the more i got hurt, and when i finally i was able to put her in the back of my mind, something hit me, this movie hit me, and on july 30,2020 all of the sudden my mind got flooded with memories, i got crushed by them, depressed every day things got nearly impossible to do, couldnt sleep and neither could get up of the bed only did by sheer will, bearly eat something (lose some weight in the prosses), i had to focus at not crying the whole time one night i couldnt sleep so i went outside, it was cold (in august is winter here) and the night was fully clean so started to look up, i always liked to watch the stars, i dont know how many time i was there but surely help me to see something, that all this time i was stuck, walking but not going anywhere in september started to move, to change, by remodeling my room new paint new floor new wardrobe and new door, lose some extra weight by doing exercise and less cheap eating and finally something that i truly wanted to do many years ago, learn piano, and by the end of october i bought one and started to learn (i still suck tho) this time i will not try to forget, no, because i know thats impossible and also if i forget of her i will also forget something very important about myself, i will not forget nor change what i feel for her but neither i will be stuck anymore, i will look forward but by doing this i also accepted one truth about myself, i will never be able to love like that again no matter how hard i try i guess is like one of the comments i read: ''The hardest love to forget is the one that never happened''
I've seen this movie a while back but I just came to realize that every second of my life I should cherish and that I should start talking to a special someone in school before we start growing up and she eventually disappears from my life. Thanks 5 Centimetres Per Second
Lets me think back the memories Ive shared with family and friends and that time goes by soo quickly! Anything can happen at any time and we should treasure the people we love and care about.
Rewatching the film after ten years and after going through a whole lot of personal hell, it really hit differently. This film isn't just about unfulfilled love. This will forever be a masterpiece.
life can be cruel sometime, things don't always turn out the way you want it to. Cherishing those memories and learning how to move on is the hardest part. I feel like I can hear those messages through this song. Absolutely beautiful soundtrack.
I am writing this comment right after watching this anime. This incredible story has sunk into my soul, as I have a very similar situation. My dear friend is hundreds of kilometers away from me, and all because I transferred to another school, far from my city. We write to each other, we call each other, but nothing can replace live communication. Now I haven't seen him for a year and a half, although before that we saw each other on vacation. I also want to say that it cuts my heart that I can't say words of love to him, because... What if he turns away? I have been friends with him for 5 years now, and he is a dear and close person to me. Let... We will remain friends. P.S. I love you, Danya. I'm sure you'll never read this comment, so let it stay here.
Let's see if I will be here again, every once in a while. To remember how beautiful this song is and probably replying to my own comment after next 5 or 10 years and see how's my life is going.
One day we all will grow up and may deviate from these feelings specially belonging to the youth. Our hearts may be far and far away from this anime and the music, just like Toono and Akari did. But the fact that it influenced us is indistinguishable. We have been here, we have watched it, and then we move on. But no matter how far we go, we shall never forget to be grateful to Shinkai sensei. This anmie actually purged me, making me want to be a nice guy and live decently. I don't know why, but I can't tolerate my shortcomings any more. I thirst for change, immediately. I want to be better. Maybe sometimes sorrowness can also be a source of power and strength, offering us courage to continue our life. I have been crying these days, and I know I can't be immersed in it for too long. But I just can't stop. The moment I listen to the end theme I will burst out crying. Oh god I don't know what I am saying. I want to say thank you to all of you, to this whole world. Thank God for bringing me to this world. I am lucky to meet you.
One of the reason this movie is great is because it too real. No fancy animation, no crazy story, no amazing characters. Just a sad love story, the reality of seperation. People who share a similar experience may be touched deeply.
This really hits home for me. Me and my girlfriend live on opposite ends of the country. We've been together for 9 months, and in that time, I've only been able to see her for about 1 and a half months combined. It's all about to pay off, though. This November she's moving in, which is going to be amazing. I can't tell you how painful it is to say good bye to her at the airport, and it feels so good to know I'll never have to do it again.
watched it expecting spicy romance to pass time. part 1 and 2 were fucking boring. i thought. but then the final song started. and then i realise that the boring parts of life are the most precious ones. going to school, walking home. im glad my school life was boring im grateful for these memories and i will held on to it forever.
I don’t wish to go back in time to change anything, but I am just glad that I‘ve got to watch this movie when it was airing in cinemas. It literally act as the irl “Save/ Load” button for my mind. Whenever i listen to this song, whenever those simple chords started playing at the beginning, it just brings my mind back when I was 13, walking home with my best friends/ crush during the sunset in late summers. all the faded, tarnished distant memories just came back full coloured, all in a sudden, just like yesterday - the future was bright and we had nothing to fear. I have lost connections with some of those friends, but the happy memories will forever sealed within my heart, waiting for another time when this song being played again to resurface. I just hope that they are doing well now.
Memories of the past. The first time i discovered this was when i was 15. Thats like 11 years ago. Time flies and you can only just stare at the windows looking back at your past.
I had friends, I was loved by a girl. But I was a stupid teen and lost them all. It's all memories now. I wish to reverse time yet I still am making mistakes at the present. Everyone else seems to have moved on and found someone to be with. I lost all my ambitions and I'm only alive to provide for my family before my parents pass away. I tried to fix myself but I guess I can't escape this vicious cycle. As stupid as I was, I miss my innocence and ignorance. I was actually able to feel happy or have some sense of purpose. Now I'm just floating through the waves, dead inside. TBH probably most people feel like this so gotta suck it up
no drama is best drama if you can pull it off. and oh boy, shinkai did pull it off in this one, hands down better than any hollywood movie plot. the anime format strangely add to the realism, cause in movie you see the actors and know that they are acting. while in anime there's animation separates us from seeing the actor.
Sorry about the late comment: It was VERY good. The characters were great, the story was great and, just everything was great. For those who are wondering, i did cry at the 3rd act. :')
I'm so thankful for this music. It gives me a vehicle for letting everything out. I get so bottled up and I just need a little extra boost to get through. The music beautiful.
This movie really hits home for me. In high school I had a friend named Katie who moved to NY from South Carolina. One night while we were all hanging out at my friend’s house she was on a call with a couple of her good friends from Carolina. She decided to put me on the phone with them and that is when I met a girl named Anna. It only took one phone call to start something between us. Later that year just after Christmas Anna and her sister came to NY to visit Katie. We all got together and I immediately fell for her the moment I saw her. We all had a snowball fight and I accidentally nailed her in the face with one. She panicked a little because her face was cold. I told her to take her gloves off and warm her face with her hands. She just kept trying to wipe the snow off with her gloves on, so I took mine off and put my hands on her face. The way she grabbed my hands and rubbed them all over her face was the cutest thing to me. Before she left to go back to Carolina she must have taken my phone at some point. Because when I looked at it the background said Anna
Everybody always says how hard it was for the to keep a long distance relationship and how painful it was to break up ... but the thing is nobody notices Episode 2 .... in the 1st episode they both loved each other and waited but in the second episode she was alone with her love ... she waited alone and ... he left ... without knowing truly what he had left behind.... maybe I prefer that part more because I see my life in hers ... but still ... I can never deny .. one sided love hurts...
All the feelings coming up while hearing this song just incredible. Must be one of the best songs ever :) Altrough I am sad everytime after hearing it :( :)
I made the terrible choice of watching this movie with my best friend/crush, and because of it all my awful anxieties of what our future may hold surfaced up. In all the grim reality, we would end up like how the two main characters did; me being alone & barely living out of habit, while she would end up with a successful job & already engaged to some other man. I should move on & hope for other people, but I just can't seem to move on from her, even after being told that she just doesn't see me that way. Sometimes, I kinda miss being able to detach myself from my emotions.
Hello. I did the exact same thing about 4 years ago except it wasn't this film, it was Girl Who Leaped Through Time. You sound young. You'll live through this and move on eventually :)
***** It's great you can still cherish all of your time together. I wish I could jump back 6 years to 2008 when the guy I had a crush on was still alive. After getting rejected by him we stopped contacting each other. Until the day he died, I met him only once again.
The final song of the year. I think back on what I have done. It makes me sick to think of it. I tried to bury these unpleasant memories. See you next year.
It's already 2020 (almost 2021). Listening to this soundtrack reminds me of this emptiness and sadness that can never be heard no matter how far it echoes.
This song sounds SO much more beautiful (If that's possible) when played live... The other day, someone in a classroom was quietly playing it. There was nobody else there. But I just had to stop, and I was listening from behind the door. I honestly wiped a tear away, and walked away quickly before anyone saw me. I think I'll just have to watch this movie now :')
After watching this anime I remember that I have a girl i love alot back to my chilhood we talk and laugh but it been 5-6 year i didnt see her for now but i miss her alot dam sh*t
Some people round the world may already experience the same thing for this movie life sometime is soo sad when it's come to your love that you know is far far away from her. one day they meet another person who is better than you and may not get a chance to be with that person because you dont know what's going to be happen a day passes by.
So I have no idea about the film this is from, but I FINALLY found this damn song from a 10 year old youtube poop lol It's been in my head for a damn decade and I never had any idea where it came from
this made me think about the mistakes I've made in my past relationship with this amazing guy.. until this day, I still have feelings for him.. even though we broke up over something that seemed stupid to me.
The meaning of the cherry blossoms is that even though they fall from the same spot, they dont always land together. The same principles can be applied to tohno and akari as they grew up together but overtime, slowly drift apart.
goosebumps :( so far i really like this anime. it is not like any other anime that has a fairy tale like ending. this anime tells you have life can be cruel. how life is full of uncertainties, that not everything you've plan will come true no matter how much you tried, no matter how you put effort to it. but it also tells you that you can hold on to those memories and move on. yes its hard to move on but it can serve as a lesson to you. remember the best lesson in life is pain.:(
I've been coming back to this page every once and a while for about 2 years and I'm just stunned by the comments and stories people leave here. This movie is amazing as evident by the number people who are willing leave such personal stories. To everyone out there, "I'm sure you'll be all right."
Since Hoshi No Koe I've been a big fan of Shinkato Makai. I appreciate Makai's use of visuals and audio to stir up emotions that are private yet shared by so many in this world. My interpretation of the ending to 5 cm Per Second is, simply, that life goes on. From one monumental moment to another, we move forward, shaped by experiences and people we've encountered. And it is those things that forever change us thus never abandoning them. Always in our hearts... something like that lol
its another year, or many years later, i am still here. Maybe this will be the final time to meet, will it be a goodbye? Thank you, i will miss you, in the past, in the future, always, take care my first love.
This music and movie just hurts so much as I can relate to the guy ... In school I made the greatest mistake when I didn't confess to the girl I was in love with ... afterwards when it was too late I found out that she also liked me back then ... it just ruined me for life knowing I missed my chance. No other girl I met since then can compare to her and I don't think none will. I try not to not compare but the feelings are just never the same to the feelings I had and still have for her. I try to tell myself that I can be happy and will find love in the future but I cannot convice myself. I cannot forget her ... I cannot forget her smile or kindness and it hurts so much. ... sorry just rambling ... had to ge it off my chest ...
This is what exactly whats going on 3 years ago to me,hahaha this movie is Golden,it tells you not to waste your time,confess your love to your Girlfriend/Boyfriend before its too late,no matter what happen it'd be better to be rejected (just incase they dont return your love back) rather than being quiet about it and watched your loved one being taken by someone else I feel crushed when i saw my crush and my best friend become a couple because back then i couldnt tell her how much i love her even though we was so close (We was so close probably even closer than brother and siste relationship) ,i kept on waiting,i though it will be just fine until one day someone else made a move and i lost her If you have someone you love,tell them! dont be scared about being rejected because trust me it will hurt you alot if someone else made a move before you do!
I just finished watching this movie. It was honestly such a beautiful and moving masterpiece. Although it was so sad, I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Truly one of the best. It correctly portrays the pain that love can sometimes inflict.
There is always a chance to reset, to redeem ourselves, the very moment you decide to make things right, and stop thinking about the unchangeable past, you reset your life, striving for what you want to obtain, there is always something to obtain worth to fight and live for, be strong you live only once
You have two options by the way1.wait for a chance to reset, Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently you know. So only think about future not past.2.A craziest way of thinking try to do impossible thing possible just like me. I'm trying to change the past. Next year I'm going to Cambridge and think about physic theory that can make this possible. But this choice do suffers me a lot.
It's ironic how in the beginning, the train is what keeps them together but at the end, the train separated them apart.
Those Damn trains they'll turn against you the moment you turn your back XD ..... ironic as well ..... that's pretty much how it ended :3
can some one please tell me what happend sorry for my ignorance but all i got from the 3 episodes is nothing? why did he stop talking with the girl from the first episode ?
they kept moving to different places for school and work and were separated ...... that's basically what the plot is through out the anime
i re watched it and this is what i got So basically Takaki and Akari went off to their own ways in the future, with Akari engaged to another man, and Takaki is seemingly on a breakdown and it seems like he still hasn't gotten over the past. At the very end scene though when they crossed each other by the railtracks, they try to look back but is cut in a by a train. Once the train is past, we see that Akari has already left as the train went by symbolising that she has already moved on with her life. I also suppose that it was it was this scene that Takaki has finally moved on as well, as he chose continued walking his way instead of chasing back after her.
We don't really see Kanae though at the end, we only see her waving goodbye to Takaki at the airport, and we see her doing this thing she loves, surfing. So you can assume that she has moved on as well, even though she never had the chance to confess her love for Takaki. She never confessed because she realized that he was searching for something greater than what she can give him.

ListenShadow Like for " ... It shows that long distant relationships are also take a lot of effort, and it really is true..." it really take a lot of effort to maintain the distant relationship. Not only for one, but also both of two people in that relationship.
I've read the manga.
"Akari just never expected to face him again." That's the difference between Takaki and Akari. She's moved on and has lost hope on them ever reuniting. That's why she doesn't wait for the train to pass. Takaki, realising she's not there and she's moved on does the same and accepts that love is lost.
Why do you even think she's engaged? Because she's moved on.
"some people are meant to fall in love with each other but not meant to be together"
+brandon hine That's some heavy words friend.
Then what's the point of falling in love?
Mikey D. I'd like to know too
I feel that possibly happened to me. Sorry if I'm just taking about myself as I'm sure others can relate.
@@adamclark8994same met my supposed life partner in college only to drift apart because of our careers
Even after 16 years, this is still my favorite Makoto Shinkai movie.
not just shinkai. for me this is the best romance movie.
This movie forever carved a little piece in my heart hollow, as years passed by I’d think that I gradually forgot about it. but every damn time I started to feel like I finally buried this sad little piece in my mind, this song just appeared out of nowhere and keep reminding me the pain I used to felt many years ago.
I am not complaining, though. I can cry to this song, feel sad about the crush that never happened, but at the same time I am grateful that this song provided me a safe shelter to unleash my regrets and negative emotions.
this experience is too beautiful to let go. It’s that time of the year to rewatch and reset myself once again.
Haunted me till this day 🤦♂️
This song makes me feel like I can't breathe. The pain of losing someone you love is too great.
Yes, the pain is indescribable as well.
Yes its intensely sad
😢
after watching 5cm for a couple times, the strongest person in this movie is the girl from the 2nd episode. she loved someone who couldn't love her back, her life was falling apart and she had no future, no hope. Yet she picked herself back up. Just do one thing at a time and do it well, and everything will be alright. I learned this from her. Every now and then when I feel like everything is going wrong, I watch the 2nd episode. I'll do what I do best and everything will be alright.
Yes she realize that tohno is always see forward. Very sad ending :(
Try the manga some time, Tohno's story is more developed there :)
What the hell? It haves manga?
Check it out!
What is the manga called?
The hardest love to forget is the one that never happened
Words of wisdom...
I have never loved my entire life. ~>
or what could've been
listening at this song bring up so many emotion... i can even cry, unfortunatly those emotion will be forever buried inside me
"only unfulfilled love can be romantic"
This film really fucks me up, it's not that we only cry for the characters, but a lot of us can relate to them.....we cry for our time what was, what is now and what could have been.
+Dinglie Danglie Doodle good comment.
When I was 15, in high school, I fell in love with this wonderful, lovely girl, her name was Marta.
I still remember the first time I heard her feeble, tender voice as she got into the school bus, at her first day of school, (she was two years younger than me): her golden curls,her adorable cute face, her glowing smile, those big, shiny green eyes..
I've never felt anything like that before, I ended up loving her for all of my high school years, secretly, quietly, I wrote so many poems thinking about her; I've never had the chance to tell her about my feelings, she was the prettiest, most adorable girl in the whole school, everybody adored her (duh!!), while I was just a kinda lonely, nerdy dude, I had the highest grades of the whole school, so yeah, I had no chance..
A couple of years after I finished high school, I was about 20, I was having dinner with some of my former classmates, and at a certain point - I don't even remember how we got there - we ended up talking briefly about her too..
At the end of the dine, just when we were about to split, one of my classmates stopped me before getting back to my car, and she said to me: "hey, do you remember Marta, right? I was told that she actually liked you, during high school, like she was somehow in love with you, she just thought you were just too much of a misanthrope to even approach you..."
As you can imagine, my heart broke into a thousand pieces, I hardly kept my composure in front of my friend, I just mumbled something, like "Really? I barely remember her, so, yeah.. I don't care.."
I got in the car, utterly shocked, speechless, I waited for all my friends to leave the restaurant, I came back, hit the bar, alone: now, y'all need to know I've never drunk a single drop of alcohol before that day, but for the first time I felt the need to destroy my precious, noble brain cells into that shit, to get completely wasted: I did, I slept/cried-like-a-bitch in the fucking car all night long, all alone, I just wanted to kill myself..
Now I'm 25, I finished college successfully, became a doctor, I'm working my ass off, I had a couple of girls, here and there, but nothing remoltely comparabIe to my first love..
I will never love anybody like her, my enchanting Muse; friends told me that she's been in a relationship for about three-four years with a good young man, and that they're still together: I'm happy for her, I truly am, because it means that he takes good care of her, and that she is loved as she deserves to be: but at the same time I'm tremendously, immeasurably sad, because I lost my only chance to be with my Princess, forever..
Sorry for my English, if there's any mistake, I'm sorry, I'm from Italy, and frankly I don't even want to read back what I've just written, my eyes are too damn teary!!
Just, don't make my mistake, please, I'm begging you, go out there, while your beloved is still single, tell him/her what you feel for him/her, or you'll end up being a miserable, mishantrope, hopeless, nothing-but-a-well-functioning-working-machine like me.. :(
This made me incredibly sad im so sorry
I believe if things were meant to be then they would happen, and I hope you get better life moves on, smile :)
***** agreed with you, but i'm an introvert guy, it'll be tough for me.
Mutta Nanba That's sad.. really sad. I still love my first love too. I cannot forget him no matter what I do and just like you, I also never had a chance telling him how I feel for him. It's the biggest regret of my life.. not letting him know. It was already too late when I realized that I already have the courage to do so. I thought the years and the distance would just make me forget him. But as the years pass by and as he kept his distance.. my love for him grew stronger and I realize how much I love him. I have never been into a relationship even up to now. Sometimes I ask myself.. After him, will I really be able to completely love someone else, knowing for a fact that deep in my heart, there is a space that is only for him? I wonder. He caused so much pain and sadness in my heart but still, I am very thankful that he came into my life. I know everything now are just but memories.. But I don't want to forget those.. I want to hold on to those memories even if it sometimes tear me apart for just by thinking of him.. always warms my heart. I hope and pray that despite of the regret that you're feeling, I hope that more than that, you'll feel grateful.. grateful that at some point in time, she also felt the same way for you.=)
Mutta Nanba jeez stop thinking like that sounds a bit neurotic shes probably not as great as you remember
Mutta Nanba It was a sad history. I'm really sorry man, I don't know you but I wish things have ended up well for you. If makes you feel better, you're not alone, there are more people that share this same bad experience, just like you. Myself, for example and I'm pretty sure everybody that will reply to your comment aswell. So, you're not alone. We all are connected by this sadness.
I felt really sad for you because I know how it is.
Who else just finished the movie and is repeating this song a billion times? : (
Same here. :'(
thealexanderlink This movie depressed me for like an entire week : (
+Otonashi Ryuuji Yeah. :( I watched it a few days ago and i still can't get over the ending and the feels. :'(
I literally watch the movie every day and never get tired of it; particularly the episode 'Cosmonaut' - Kanae is by far my favourite character.
***** I love Sumida! She's probably my favorite character from 5cm/s. If you haven't already, I highly suggest reading the manga adaptation.
this movie makes you wish "if I could turn back the time..."
KoeSeer If you could find a way?
+KoeSeer I think the point of the movie was that you CAN'T turn back time, so there's no point in dwelling on the past.
Don't give up on your life for a loving delusion +KoeSeer. Get up, fight away again, you can! Live a true love, no a lie! I read your story in other video)
Time waits for no one.
+KoeSeer The movie isn't about wanting to turn back time, It's about acknowledging that even if you could it wouldn't make a difference.
Just watched this movie - wow. And this video… the comments… the music…
It feels like I’m in another world. Thank you everybody.
What’s movie name please :)
5 Centimeters per Second. Be careful though. It’s one of those movies that make you question your own existence.
10 years later, still one of the best movies i have ever watched :(
I'm still heartbroken sigh
“I still don't know what it really means to grow up. However, if I happen to meet you, one day in the future, by then, I want to become someone you can be proud to know.”
it took me over 10 yrs, i tried to forget but the more i tried the more i got hurt, and when i finally i was able to put her in the back of my mind, something hit me, this movie hit me, and on july 30,2020 all of the sudden my mind got flooded with memories, i got crushed by them, depressed every day things got nearly impossible to do, couldnt sleep and neither could get up of the bed only did by sheer will, bearly eat something (lose some weight in the prosses), i had to focus at not crying the whole time
one night i couldnt sleep so i went outside, it was cold (in august is winter here) and the night was fully clean so started to look up, i always liked to watch the stars, i dont know how many time i was there but surely help me to see something, that all this time i was stuck, walking but not going anywhere
in september started to move, to change, by remodeling my room new paint new floor new wardrobe and new door, lose some extra weight by doing exercise and less cheap eating and finally something that i truly wanted to do many years ago, learn piano, and by the end of october i bought one and started to learn (i still suck tho)
this time i will not try to forget, no, because i know thats impossible and also if i forget of her i will also forget something very important about myself, i will not forget nor change what i feel for her but neither i will be stuck anymore, i will look forward
but by doing this i also accepted one truth about myself, i will never be able to love like that again no matter how hard i try
i guess is like one of the comments i read: ''The hardest love to forget is the one that never happened''
Even i can't forget someone that changed my life from a shy,isolated to happy,cheerful boy for some years
Can't forget that best part of my life
This movie is just brutal ,it really affected your life not just your feeling
I've seen this movie a while back but I just came to realize that every second of my life I should cherish and that I should start talking to a special someone in school before we start growing up and she eventually disappears from my life. Thanks 5 Centimetres Per Second
y u make me cry ? ;( xD seriously listening to this melody and reading this is just unbearable :D so much hurt, heart pain, me no like it ;(
Tedy-can-die Dosnicorn
It turned out I didn't make the move and she transferred school. Heh..
Fuck you for making me feel sad as shit. God damn it.
ah man this song, my current problems and reading this is all a little too much for me
Lets me think back the memories Ive shared with family and friends and that time goes by soo quickly! Anything can happen at any time and we should treasure the people we love and care about.
Rewatching the film after ten years and after going through a whole lot of personal hell, it really hit differently. This film isn't just about unfulfilled love. This will forever be a masterpiece.
life can be cruel sometime, things don't always turn out the way you want it to. Cherishing those memories and learning how to move on is the hardest part. I feel like I can hear those messages through this song. Absolutely beautiful soundtrack.
이 영화를 본지 2년이 넘어가고 여러번 봤지만 아직도 이 노래만 들으면 마음이 무거워지고 눈에서 땀이 계속 나오네요
Every emotion of each character is very sincere and precious. It wakes up all my feelings. Maybe I'll never find this anywhere.
I am writing this comment right after watching this anime. This incredible story has sunk into my soul, as I have a very similar situation. My dear friend is hundreds of kilometers away from me, and all because I transferred to another school, far from my city. We write to each other, we call each other, but nothing can replace live communication. Now I haven't seen him for a year and a half, although before that we saw each other on vacation. I also want to say that it cuts my heart that I can't say words of love to him, because... What if he turns away? I have been friends with him for 5 years now, and he is a dear and close person to me. Let... We will remain friends.
P.S. I love you, Danya. I'm sure you'll never read this comment, so let it stay here.
Let's see if I will be here again, every once in a while. To remember how beautiful this song is and probably replying to my own comment after next 5 or 10 years and see how's my life is going.
12 years passed by and i know that our soul still stick at this place - where the melody live our nostalgia
I found it again after 13 years, the heart still is in the right place
17 years now, wish Shinkai would make another movie like this, with his reputation now I think it would be an instant banger
Or that this movie will be released today, it would be a boom similar to your name, I imagined it
One day we all will grow up and may deviate from these feelings specially belonging to the youth. Our hearts may be far and far away from this anime and the music, just like Toono and Akari did. But the fact that it influenced us is indistinguishable. We have been here, we have watched it, and then we move on. But no matter how far we go, we shall never forget to be grateful to Shinkai sensei. This anmie actually purged me, making me want to be a nice guy and live decently. I don't know why, but I can't tolerate my shortcomings any more. I thirst for change, immediately. I want to be better. Maybe sometimes sorrowness can also be a source of power and strength, offering us courage to continue our life. I have been crying these days, and I know I can't be immersed in it for too long. But I just can't stop. The moment I listen to the end theme I will burst out crying. Oh god I don't know what I am saying. I want to say thank you to all of you, to this whole world. Thank God for bringing me to this world. I am lucky to meet you.
Beautiful
true we will change, like it or not, intended or not.
used to like someone for years and one day the feeling just left.
Why so beautiful? I never get tired of hearing it. This Anime Movie was really amazing.
One of the reason this movie is great is because it too real. No fancy animation, no crazy story, no amazing characters. Just a sad love story, the reality of seperation. People who share a similar experience may be touched deeply.
This really hits home for me. Me and my girlfriend live on opposite ends of the country. We've been together for 9 months, and in that time, I've only been able to see her for about 1 and a half months combined. It's all about to pay off, though. This November she's moving in, which is going to be amazing. I can't tell you how painful it is to say good bye to her at the airport, and it feels so good to know I'll never have to do it again.
U guys still together?
@@khair7549 yeah, we got married last October 🙏
@@WinterCedar Congrats man, I'm happy for you! Hope I get there too someday.
@@WinterCedar ....wow
Congrats bro 🤜🤛😎
watched it expecting spicy romance to pass time.
part 1 and 2 were fucking boring. i thought.
but then the final song started.
and then i realise that the boring parts of life are the most precious ones.
going to school, walking home.
im glad my school life was boring im grateful for these memories and i will held on to it forever.
This music score is like the old wind that sweeps you back to the time when the world was younger
And you had everything to lose...
😔😔
I don’t wish to go back in time to change anything, but I am just glad that I‘ve got to watch this movie when it was airing in cinemas. It literally act as the irl “Save/ Load” button for my mind.
Whenever i listen to this song, whenever those simple chords started playing at the beginning, it just brings my mind back when I was 13, walking home with my best friends/ crush during the sunset in late summers.
all the faded, tarnished distant memories just came back full coloured, all in a sudden, just like yesterday - the future was bright and we had nothing to fear. I have lost connections with some of those friends, but the happy memories will forever sealed within my heart, waiting for another time when this song being played again to resurface.
I just hope that they are doing well now.
Memories of the past. The first time i discovered this was when i was 15. Thats like 11 years ago. Time flies and you can only just stare at the windows looking back at your past.
I had friends, I was loved by a girl. But I was a stupid teen and lost them all. It's all memories now. I wish to reverse time yet I still am making mistakes at the present. Everyone else seems to have moved on and found someone to be with. I lost all my ambitions and I'm only alive to provide for my family before my parents pass away. I tried to fix myself but I guess I can't escape this vicious cycle. As stupid as I was, I miss my innocence and ignorance. I was actually able to feel happy or have some sense of purpose. Now I'm just floating through the waves, dead inside. TBH probably most people feel like this so gotta suck it up
Bro..... that's my story😔 we r same
Not all people, i hope not even most. I was like you and then i changed. Seek help,you need it.
this song hurts me heart.
So pure, so clean and brightly.
No need words, no need lyric, no need drama or any other things,
this is ALL the best.
no drama is best drama if you can pull it off.
and oh boy, shinkai did pull it off in this one, hands down better than any hollywood movie plot.
the anime format strangely add to the realism, cause in movie you see the actors and know that they are acting. while in anime there's animation separates us from seeing the actor.
I have not seen 5 Centimeters Per Second yet, but, this song is so melancholic and beautiful. I'm going to watch it now. Wish me luck :')
Sorry about the late comment: It was VERY good. The characters were great, the story was great and, just everything was great. For those who are wondering, i did cry at the 3rd act. :')
Please do not consider suicide after watching this😂
It's funny how the train connected them and when they saw each other again the train disconnects them, funny how coincidences work...
I don't want that coincidence to happen in my life... Well, not again...
I'm so thankful for this music. It gives me a vehicle for letting everything out. I get so bottled up and I just need a little extra boost to get through. The music beautiful.
Ah, if the wind didn't blow Takaki's love letter.....
Arrrgghhh..... I can't continue it
Akari didn't give her letter to Takaki when he boarded the train either... Both didn't say what they wanted to
@@tommytran6693 agreed my friend
@Fire that's not true, the letters convey that, but not literally
@@tommytran6693 since they already kissed each other,there was no need for the letter.Distance separated them.
If Takaki had not gone towards that machine to take that drink...
5 years passed already and i still remember this Theme from this awesome anime :)
He loses his ambition. And then he loses his love. And then this...
He loses himself. He loses his one chance of love. He loses... At life
Same
Nah, he sees that she moved on, so he decides to do the same and start anew
kanae and taki become together in manga
@@Rokaishi wait really?
I found it again after 13 years, the heart still is in the right place
This movie really hits home for me. In high school I had a friend named Katie who moved to NY from South Carolina. One night while we were all hanging out at my friend’s house she was on a call with a couple of her good friends from Carolina. She decided to put me on the phone with them and that is when I met a girl named Anna. It only took one phone call to start something between us.
Later that year just after Christmas Anna and her sister came to NY to visit Katie. We all got together and I immediately fell for her the moment I saw her. We all had a snowball fight and I accidentally nailed her in the face with one. She panicked a little because her face was cold. I told her to take her gloves off and warm her face with her hands. She just kept trying to wipe the snow off with her gloves on, so I took mine off and put my hands on her face. The way she grabbed my hands and rubbed them all over her face was the cutest thing to me. Before she left to go back to Carolina she must have taken my phone at some point. Because when I looked at it the background said Anna
Everybody always says how hard it was for the to keep a long distance relationship and how painful it was to break up ... but the thing is nobody notices Episode 2 .... in the 1st episode they both loved each other and waited but in the second episode she was alone with her love ... she waited alone and ... he left ... without knowing truly what he had left behind....
maybe I prefer that part more because I see my life in hers ... but still ... I can never deny .. one sided love hurts...
Saha🙄🙄
All the feelings coming up while hearing this song just incredible.
Must be one of the best songs ever :) Altrough I am sad everytime after hearing it :( :)
I don't know why but, I seem to feel the emotions of this song. How it's full of sadness and some kind of hope.
some people can live in your heart but not in your life.
So true. Going through this right now.
I remember how I despised trains for quite a time.
my memories of my friends, returns to my head with this song. peaceful, happy and sad to same time.
這是生平聽過，最為至悲的音樂，另一首則是四月是你的謊言中的「挫けそうになる私を支えてください」。相比於第二首，對這一首，真的完全沒有抵抗力！在生命最低潮得時候，卻是釋放壓力，希望能聽見的音樂。
好溫暖的感覺！
I made the terrible choice of watching this movie with my best friend/crush, and because of it all my awful anxieties of what our future may hold surfaced up. In all the grim reality, we would end up like how the two main characters did; me being alone & barely living out of habit, while she would end up with a successful job & already engaged to some other man. I should move on & hope for other people, but I just can't seem to move on from her, even after being told that she just doesn't see me that way. Sometimes, I kinda miss being able to detach myself from my emotions.
Time to live on the present because life goes on
That's why I do these kinds of things with her. Our time together is obviously dwindling, so I should cherish it while it lasts.
Hello. I did the exact same thing about 4 years ago except it wasn't this film, it was Girl Who Leaped Through Time. You sound young. You'll live through this and move on eventually :)
You turned to a girl and time traveled 4 years ago?!? SWEEET.
***** It's great you can still cherish all of your time together.
I wish I could jump back 6 years to 2008 when the guy I had a crush on was still alive. After getting rejected by him we stopped contacting each other. Until the day he died, I met him only once again.
I swear the picture for this video speaks 1000 words while listening to this track.
Yea the picture makes me feel lonely like everything and everyone is being taken from me.
I fell in love with this movie the moment I watched it.
I got depressed for a good time. And it was worth it.
I will love this movie forever!
I can't still forget this song it makes me cry whenever i listen to this song!!
やっぱりこのbgmが1番落ち着く。数年後にはちゃんと大人になって普通に過ごせていますように。幸せになってね自分。
とても、切なくでも優しいメロディーに癒されます👍🥰💖
crying so much. this song holds so many feels
Clicked on this by accident but it only took 4 seconds for me to tell this was the same composer as Ef.
This started playing at a Daiso market and I felt so sad while shopping. lol
this is the theme id want played at my funeral
InFiniTy UchiHa me too
It’s time, every Valentine’s Day I will watch this movie again.
Damn, when I first saw this movie, I thought everything was turn out good in the end like every other romance movie.
*Nope*
the feels :(
I am unable to move on from this movie😔
Same
@@Aerish369 🤝
A movie released in 2007, march 3 is still hurting after 17 years later (it's 2024 )
아련하다. 그립다 이런 느낌이
The final song of the year.
I think back on what I have done.
It makes me sick to think of it.
I tried to bury these unpleasant memories.
See you next year.
Such a beautiful piece, still tears me up.
If I ever wanted to learn how to play piano, this would be that song to play.
It's already 2020 (almost 2021). Listening to this soundtrack reminds me of this emptiness and sadness that can never be heard no matter how far it echoes.
This song sounds SO much more beautiful (If that's possible) when played live... The other day, someone in a classroom was quietly playing it. There was nobody else there. But I just had to stop, and I was listening from behind the door. I honestly wiped a tear away, and walked away quickly before anyone saw me.
I think I'll just have to watch this movie now :')
After watching this anime
I remember that I have a girl i love alot back to my chilhood we talk and laugh but it been 5-6 year i didnt see her for now but i miss her alot dam sh*t
It's been a while since I've cried. I needed this. Thanks for posting this music.
Words can not describe my love for this movie and especially this theme
„Thinking solely of him, I cried myself to sleep.“
Just watched this a few moments ago it was beautiful 10/10 for me
+Kenji B I watched it ages ago but yes definitely a 10/10 for me too :)
@@willsankey2979 4 years late to comment but still 10/10 😊
The song brings tears :'(
Some people round the world may already experience the same thing for this movie
life sometime is soo sad when it's come to your love that you know is far far away from her. one day they meet another person who is better than you and may not get a chance to be with that person because you dont know what's going to be happen a day passes by.
this song is very sad and I can almost feel it
This gave me a crippling depression I thought I never had
I watched this on Valentine’s Day and I completely regret it. Still hurts when I think about how they didn’t end up together!
@@normalhector5921 ikr! Though I know it hurts, I hope I can watch it again for the first time
So I have no idea about the film this is from, but I FINALLY found this damn song from a 10 year old youtube poop lol
It's been in my head for a damn decade and I never had any idea where it came from
well, you should watch it
It came from movie 5 cm per second
This movie by far the most depressing and realistic movie I've seen. Kudos to Makoto Shinkai.
this made me think about the mistakes I've made in my past relationship with this amazing guy.. until this day, I still have feelings for him.. even though we broke up over something that seemed stupid to me.
The meaning of the cherry blossoms is that even though they fall from the same spot, they dont always land together. The same principles can be applied to tohno and akari as they grew up together but overtime, slowly drift apart.
goosebumps :( so far i really like this anime. it is not like any other anime that has a fairy tale like ending. this anime tells you have life can be cruel. how life is full of uncertainties, that not everything you've plan will come true no matter how much you tried, no matter how you put effort to it. but it also tells you that you can hold on to those memories and move on. yes its hard to move on but it can serve as a lesson to you. remember the best lesson in life is pain.:(
I've been coming back to this page every once and a while for about 2 years and I'm just stunned by the comments and stories people leave here. This movie is amazing as evident by the number people who are willing leave such personal stories. To everyone out there, "I'm sure you'll be all right."
5 Centimeter per second is proaply the most fantastic peice of art i have ever watched and i have watched a lot. words just can't describe it.
Since Hoshi No Koe I've been a big fan of Shinkato Makai. I appreciate Makai's use of visuals and audio to stir up emotions that are private yet shared by so many in this world.
My interpretation of the ending to 5 cm Per Second is, simply, that life goes on. From one monumental moment to another, we move forward, shaped by experiences and people we've encountered. And it is those things that forever change us thus never abandoning them. Always in our hearts... something like that lol
how is this already 16years old? I saw it in 2020 first
Same man
This is literally one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to.
its another year, or many years later, i am still here. Maybe this will be the final time to meet, will it be a goodbye?
Thank you, i will miss you, in the past, in the future, always, take care my first love.
This music and movie just hurts so much as I can relate to the guy ... In school I made the greatest mistake when I didn't confess to the girl I was in love with ... afterwards when it was too late I found out that she also liked me back then ... it just ruined me for life knowing I missed my chance. No other girl I met since then can compare to her and I don't think none will. I try not to not compare but the feelings are just never the same to the feelings I had and still have for her. I try to tell myself that I can be happy and will find love in the future but I cannot convice myself. I cannot forget her ... I cannot forget her smile or kindness and it hurts so much. ... sorry just rambling ... had to ge it off my chest ...
This is what exactly whats going on 3 years ago to me,hahaha this movie is Golden,it tells you not to waste your time,confess your love to your Girlfriend/Boyfriend before its too late,no matter what happen it'd be better to be rejected (just incase they dont return your love back) rather than being quiet about it and watched your loved one being taken by someone else
I feel crushed when i saw my crush and my best friend become a couple because back then i couldnt tell her how much i love her even though we was so close (We was so close probably even closer than brother and siste relationship) ,i kept on waiting,i though it will be just fine until one day someone else made a move and i lost her
If you have someone you love,tell them! dont be scared about being rejected because trust me it will hurt you alot if someone else made a move before you do!
Tears well in my eyes every time I hear this song. Such beautiful music to such a beautiful film.
I just finished watching this movie. It was honestly such a beautiful and moving masterpiece. Although it was so sad, I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Truly one of the best. It correctly portrays the pain that love can sometimes inflict.
Hey fun fact: cherry blossoms symbolize the passing of something and the coming of something else. Beautiful isn't it?
Hope i never hear this on a train
I had this repeat when the movie finished. Put my mind at peace... Beautiful.
best anime ive watched in a while. So really sad. And the soundtrack is unbelieveable beautifull. Thanks for upload
Where is the reset button for my life? What do you do when you have a life of regret?
There is always a chance to reset, to redeem ourselves, the very moment you decide to make things right, and stop thinking about the unchangeable past, you reset your life, striving for what you want to obtain, there is always something to obtain worth to fight and live for, be strong you live only once
You have two options by the way1.wait for a chance to reset, Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently you know. So only think about future not past.2.A craziest way of thinking try to do impossible thing possible just like me. I'm trying to change the past. Next year I'm going to Cambridge and think about physic theory that can make this possible. But this choice do suffers me a lot.
ほんと
これを新宿駅と小田急のあの場所で聴くの辞めたほうがいい。
メンタルやられる。
I'm loving it :)
They go into so many more details than in the movie. Thank you ^^
thanks to make this flim and this ost..... it's change my life after watch it....
Here we go againnn..
