I've been in love with this since the day the original came out. 10 years later at 5am & I still randomly watch this video. I love the audio and design, I always wanted to go into a profession that would allow me to have this type of creativity and it's the first piece of inspiration that's been stagnant in my mind. I hope to still be watching this when I'm well into old age, I found this when I was 13 years old and nothing has ever compared to how this makes me feel.
The person who showed me this video is now the person I'm going to marry. The Song and the drawing definitely is a big meaning to me. We both liked each other but we both didn't know until we drew together and expressed our feelings through pictures.
This... this is the reason why I started animating. The reason why I fully formed my desire and ambition to become an animator... and the reason why I studied it at university. I can't explain how much gratitude I have for both Mike Inel, and this original with that beloved song. Ahh... so many memories..I'll always love this.
This is the video that first introduced me to Mike Inel... It was amazing then and it's still amazing today.I'm so glad someone has it with the original music.
daniel chung The original video was removed from the TH-cam due to copyright issues. The author ended up re-uploading a different version with the music removed. I find the video isn't as powerful without the music.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the original upload just on another channel (if I remember it correctly). For awhile it was gone. Honestly I'm surprised this hasn't been removed.
Finally a "Draw With Me" video with the original song and animation THAT WORKS. I liked the ending sound effects, although I preferred the silence. Either way, really happy I found this.
I don't remember how long ago I first saw this video, but it tore me apart. It's been in my watchlist for years, and I always dreaded watching it again. But now that I've graduated high-school and been working for 8+ years, it doesn't seem as bad as I remember.
the first time i watched this film i cried quiet, small tears because it is sad.now i have a boyfriend, but he is the other side of the world and i cannot get to him..i would do anything for him and him me, but he is unreachable. we have our own glass between us which is unbreakable. Now i watch this video and i cry harder then before because now this video has such a bigger and more meaningful meaning to it, it affects me and my boyfriend, and so many others directly..it tells our life stories.
If this video gets taken down, or the music taken off, I will officially lose all respect for TH-cam. Every video I find of this is either not the right song, or a dub version. Kudos for putting this up, this has gotta be the best video w/music ever, and probably the only vid that actually brang a tear to my eye. Once again, Kudos :)
this video in all honesty made me think about everything that's went on in my life; but mainly how my ex and I used to draw together whenever we were at lunch in school. Seeing this video makes me think back to how much I miss him after we broke up, and even more now that he moved across the country. I regret it so much.. and this video means so much to me. You guys have no idea how much this video reflected us
My friend sent me this and it makes me cry every time I watch it. Because he's changed so much in such a short amount of time. We used to kind of be like that.
Funny how when you put a video like this, which relates to your life in many ways, and you add a wonderful song like this to it, it can bring a man to tears. Kudos for posting this video sinblesser, this video is, and always will be somewhere in my heart
I had one person in mind when I first saw this forever ago and it tore me up. He's still who comes to mind all these years later and it still fucks me up! 😭😭😭
I always cry every time I see this because it reminds me so much of my bf. He's overseas right now, and even though I can't physically hold him, I still love him. And I'd still give anything for him . I love you Stefan.
The first time I spent the day with my Girlfriend, who lives in Sweden, (whereas I live in England), it was in Colchester and she had come over for a school trip. I had known her online, and I went up to visit her. I instantly fell in love and we watched this on repeat, knowing forever (or at least for the near future) we'd be stuck doing the same thing these two did. It's 1 year and 1/2 later and we're still doing it. Love is tricky but also so rewarding.
Thank you so much for uploading this even thou its not your video. many people have tryed to upload this video but the sound was always copyrighted Thank you so much!!
I'm feeling like you all who suffer seeing this video. But remember that distance for love is like wind on a fire. It extinguishes a weak fire. It strenghtens a strong fire. If you truly believe in your love, don't be afraid of this wall. This wall is also your way to demonstrate that you both are strong. And someday, someway... you will pass it, just believe in it.
honestly this is one of the few reasons im happy im the same race as the creator of this video and the unfinished game for this video, thanks so much mike inel for touching so many peoples lives ^_^
i love this so much! it reminds me of my guy, except instead of glass separating us its a few thousand miles:/ and we love to draw each other pictures and send them through text, this makes me happy:) thank you for making this and sharing it with the world^^
Wow, this video is heart wrenching and made me realize the actual pain of a long distance relationship. I'm in one, see people and friends around me happy with their boyfriends and girlfriends and I'm actually jealous of some of my exes from being in physical relationships too. Yes, it's petty, but it's a painful thing to go through at times. Despite that, I consider myself lucky because I'm with the greatest person ever and there is always hope and planning of actually meeting.
I can't believe the ending, it is so good. She cuts her own arm off to give to him, which is why at he end she is covered up. The artist did an amazing song with this.
this is a wonderful clip. i shows how badly two people want to be together but can not. They try desperatly to get to one another and yet it fails. But the girl sacrafices one of her arms to help the boy be with her again.
"I am strong I am strong. I will not cry!" - 2 and a half minutes later - -Bawling his eyes out- "DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!"
I've listened to the song out of tab but I've never watched 'till today. It almost made me cry but I love the song. I thank my Danish friend for sending me this link...
This was mine and my ex's song.... i didn't see him or even talk to him for 3 years after we fell apart and this song brought us back together, i'm glad that this Video is still around and i hope it STAYS THIS WAY!!
love this video. The drama fits perfectly with the music and it is so romantic. and for those who disliked this video, you must either not understand this video or are simply too stupid to realize the morale this story entails....
Cried so much at this.. relates to me and my boyfriend so much as he lives away from me in America, we would do anything for eachother, we have an unbreakable glass between us and I hate it.... This makes me cry so much knowing that our relationship is like this but I cant get to him and he cant get to me unfortunately... this has made me realise that what I thought we had, there is a bigger story to our relationship and its made it more meaningful to me
For all of you freaking out because she cut off her arm. For fucks sake its all a metaphor. This is a perfect way to show how in a relationship there can be huge barriers. More like how if two people love each other but can't be together for whatever reason. But tried to make it work anyway but when that happened ended up taking away all they had in the first place. And the arm is to show how much she would be willing to sacrifice for them to be happy. You people need to grow the fuck up. This animation is so beautiful it makes me emotional because I am going through this exact thing.
YES OMG! cherish... i was going a bit nuts when i heard most of them got removed plus! the update... this song fits with the clip .. and its beautiful..

I know exactly what you mean
same here
100%
Came back after years. This still breaks my heart. Love it!
the original music makes the video so much more powerful...
+zvic2 It does doesn't it. =]
I think this was how I found out about Otsuka Ai first. Then other songs she did for dramas and such. But I think this was first. ❤️
Those 2 tiny pieces of chalk last forever.
The person who showed me this video is now the person I'm going to marry. The Song and the drawing definitely is a big meaning to me. We both liked each other but we both didn't know until we drew together and expressed our feelings through pictures.
I'm actually getting depressed again...
Those drawings, that music, and "she" are the facts which still keeps me alive on this godforsaken place...
Don't be depressed; be glad!
This... this is the reason why I started animating. The reason why I fully formed my desire and ambition to become an animator... and the reason why I studied it at university. I can't explain how much gratitude I have for both Mike Inel, and this original with that beloved song. Ahh... so many memories..I'll always love this.
This is the video that first introduced me to Mike Inel... It was amazing then and it's still amazing today.I'm so glad someone has it with the original music.
+kirmer13 d( ̄◇ ̄)b
This animation still hits the feels. So emotional so powerful yet. I wish this was a series. There's so much charm to this that makes me tear up.
THATS THE ORIGINAL
daniel chung Haha, it's very close to the original. I spliced it together with the original music cause I couldn't find the original one myself.
daniel chung The original video was removed from the TH-cam due to copyright issues. The author ended up re-uploading a different version with the music removed. I find the video isn't as powerful without the music.
+JunPatch The original one is still up, just copyrighted. This is "close" to the original. haha.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the original upload just on another channel (if I remember it correctly). For awhile it was gone. Honestly I'm surprised this hasn't been removed.
what was the name of the music that was removed?
Oh gosh... it's still here,.. After all these years coming back to this is breaking my heart. Still loving the concept of this
indeed ;(
I remember seeing this on Deviantart and it still makes me cry my heart out! TT3TT it's so well done that it's just too good!
I used to hear this in memory of gaiaonline
Finally a "Draw With Me" video with the original song and animation THAT WORKS. I liked the ending sound effects, although I preferred the silence. Either way, really happy I found this.
I always come back to this. (Even after over 10 years). It's so beautiful
I've watched this dozens of times and it still gives me goose bumps >.>
i always get the feels when watching this TwT
+erayox Goose bumps? That scary ehhh.
I don't remember how long ago I first saw this video, but it tore me apart. It's been in my watchlist for years, and I always dreaded watching it again.
But now that I've graduated high-school and been working for 8+ years, it doesn't seem as bad as I remember.
no words are spoken ... n still makes you cry ... and no matter how many times i see this i tear up
+wrickiw Don't cry, be happy. =]
Never thought I'd come across this forgotten video again in my life, I am BLESSED!
the first time i watched this film i cried quiet, small tears because it is sad.now i have a boyfriend, but he is the other side of the world and i cannot get to him..i would do anything for him and him me, but he is unreachable. we have our own glass between us which is unbreakable. Now i watch this video and i cry harder then before because now this video has such a bigger and more meaningful meaning to it, it affects me and my boyfriend, and so many others directly..it tells our life stories.
Seriously once of my favorite animations. Glad you got original music too.
+mdenks d(>_・ )
Can't stop crying and I don't know why TT-TT..the feels are overflowing !
+CottonFairy TOOO MUUUCH FEEEELS
Man.. it's been years since I've seen this. Still tugs on the heart strings a bit.
If this video gets taken down, or the music taken off, I will officially lose all respect for TH-cam. Every video I find of this is either not the right song, or a dub version.

this is my favourite video on youtube. it makes me so calm. the song is also my favourite song.. Ai Otsuka - Cherish.. I love this video:)
thank you soooooo much for uploading the original one, i was so sad when they took it off
This is one of the most amazing conveyances of love you will ever see.
My friend sent me this and it makes me cry every time I watch it. Because he's changed so much in such a short amount of time. We used to kind of be like that.
... I cant even mention how thankful I am someone finally posted this again... thank you
Holy shit!! I've been looking for this video for YEARS, i haven't seen it in forever!
+Amber Skye Glad you found it!!
+sinblesser Thank you !!
I still have to fight tears when I see this video. It's so sad, and romantic at the same time. I just can't get enough of it.
Funny how when you put a video like this, which relates to your life in many ways, and you add a wonderful song like this to it, it can bring a man to tears. Kudos for posting this video sinblesser, this video is, and always will be somewhere in my heart
This vid always makes me cry... i love it very much... It shows even if you are separated, you can always care for each other....
thank you for uploading this, for some reason on mike inels channle youtube stopped the use of this song, and i havnt heard it in forever.
Amg this video still makes me emotional. Its so sweet...
I had one person in mind when I first saw this forever ago and it tore me up. He's still who comes to mind all these years later and it still fucks me up! 😭😭😭
The part that I cry the most is when he write "I can't anymore" I break down completely.
Not even going to deny it. I bawled. Still crying. Watching it again.
This original video with the music is everything ❤😢
I always cry every time I see this because it reminds me so much of my bf. He's overseas right now, and even though I can't physically hold him, I still love him. And I'd still give anything for him . I love you Stefan.
Art is a way of life, it's a life alone.
This movie made me cry, Mike is amazing, I love all his arts!

Thank you so much!!
this is the second time i am watching this and i am still crying! THIS IS SO SWEET!!
I've watched this so many times and I still tear up and shiver when he breaks the glass.
I'm feeling like you all who suffer seeing this video.
But remember that distance for love is like wind on a fire.
It extinguishes a weak fire.
It strenghtens a strong fire.
If you truly believe in your love, don't be afraid of this wall. This wall is also your way to demonstrate that you both are strong. And someday, someway... you will pass it, just believe in it.
Simply beautiful - in every way.
Oh my gosh. I finally found a video with the original song. :D

I remember listening to this about 1-2 years ago, before they removed the audio of Mikeinel video, now I found this :)
this is so cute and sweet but sad from beginning to end T^T a masterpiece a thousand times over
+Shawn Smith Haha, there are many masterpieces, this is probably just one in a thousand. =]
wow! it's so touching. I cried the first time I watched this, and I'm not a softy. Mike Inel is great!
What it's like to be in the military, far off in the distance from the one you love, with only a glass monitor to talk with them through.
:(

even if i cant see the screen and im still listening to the music i still seem to cry!

Wow, this video is heart wrenching and made me realize the actual pain of a long distance relationship. I'm in one, see people and friends around me happy with their boyfriends and girlfriends and I'm actually jealous of some of my exes from being in physical relationships too.

Great Video
+Nougat Krieger What happened in your long distance relationship? Thanks for the kind remarks!
