Megurine Luka - Just Be Friends

"Just Be Friends"
Uploaded July 4, 2009, with 2,453,000+ views
Produced by Dixie Flatline
"Just Be Friends" (commonly abbreviated JBF) is one of Luka's most popular songs and Dixie Flatline's most notable work. It is about how a girl (Luka) and a boy's current relationship is going nowhere, and they start to realize their relationship is falling apart. Eventually the singer pulls the plug and breaks up with the other individual. What becomes of the broken-hearted person is up to the viewer.

Though the song is sung by Luka, some fans interpret it as being from the boy's point of view; however, this is not confirmed or supported in any way by the creator, and both interpretations would cause inconsistencies with the PV. Fans' opinions remain divided.

A reply song, "Answer", debuted at Anime Expo 2012 and was later posted on Nico Nico on July 27, 2012. It is set three years after the original song and shows how the girl has moved on.

The original upload of "Just Be Friends" reached over 2,453,000 views. The most popular reprint of the song on YouTube has over seven million views, and another has over five million views, internationally making "Just Be Friends" Luka's most popular song.
