Bubbly Best Friend Tries To Explain (And Fixes Everything) [Pt. 2][M4A][Friends to Lovers][ASMR]

[@Lovely.Solaire]

Listeners avoidant /antisocial behaviors is literally me. I feel like you're watching me[half joking ] because I literally become this way when I'm not doing good

[@tanukiaudios]

@LunaBoy aww we've all been there...I hope you're doing okay today though! Taking everything as it comes can be so difficult but it's important to be gentle with yourself!! Thank you so much for listening

[@Lovely.Solaire]

@@tanukiaudios I'm doing as good as I can be! I've been a mist lately [some days worse then others] but my boyfriend,friends and therapist have been helping me alot along with your audios[along with others audios] and they bring me such a great sense of comfort. Thank you for making content like this but also thank you for just being alive, you brighten the lives of others and you are so precious and important. I just may be a person on the internet that consumes your audios but I appreciate you and you're important to me ❤

12:33 I'm thinking it's crazy that you'd apologize for something when you don't even understand why it was a problem in the first place. "I didn't think it would hurt you that bad"

[@sup179]

I kinda wished they didn't end up together, he really pissed me off lol Good audio tho, your voice is very expressive and with the sound effects it's easy to imagine the atmosphere, congrats !

[@tanukiaudios]

@sup You've got a point though. It's kinda sudden. I think in real life, this would take weeks to actually get through (if they can manage to re-establish trust even), but with only two videos to do it in, I felt like this was the most satisfying conclusion. Thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked the effects

I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a relationship I’m not actually a part of

[@gingerneutral_audios]

him: wait please don't close the door on me me: i'm busy wallowing. go away. him: i have a coffee for you? me: ....... your offering is accepted. fuck. ok fine come in. you want to talk? talk. him: you sure? me: it's a few steps above spiraling, so... yeah

[@gingerneutral_audios]

god this is hitting close to home honestly. I've been trying and failing to reach out to my best friend for a few months now. But hearing this now, i'm redoubling my efforts to reach out. They're my best friend and i miss them, and hearing this audio helped remind me to reach out again. Also im crying but that's fine

[@gabby2321]

I didn't expect this to be so emotional omg. I really like how you've talked about mental health and therapy in this audio. I've seen others also mention this topic but they tend to shy away from it and not dive deeper into it like you've done here and I appreciate it a lot. As always thank you for this amazing audio that definitely did not make me tear up ❤.

[@tanukiaudios]

@Gabby🥰 Mm! Thank you!! I also didn’t expect it to be that emotional when I started writing it tbh. I was really happy writing that sort of thing into my script though, and I think it helped make these characters feel more real. I didn’t wanna make the video about mental health but I enjoyed writing it into the dynamic. That they’re supportive of each other even if it’s not explicit. And also good attempts at communication! Owning up to mistakes and trying to be considerate of each other even when it’s uncomfortable. Simpler dynamics are still fun and maybe even more entertaining but I’m happy I tried to do this. This was good practice for me as a writer hehe Thank you for listening, so glad to make you definitely not feel anything about it

[@Aisodm]

i need someone to check on me like that “I want to know how your feeling, what you’ve been thinking for the past days” IM SOBBINGGG I LOVEEE THIS SO MYCH 😭❤️❤️

Tanuki... there's not enough words in the English language. This was perfect. You seem like a natural writer, and your characters develop so smoothly I know it's intricate and well thought out. It's been an honor listening 💛 Also what's the name of the piano piece at the end. I very much enjoyed it 🩵

[@tanukiaudios]

@Kbug Petite Thank you so much!! And thank you for making it to the premier! It was so enjoyable to be able to peek into these guys' lives for a bit hehe the piano was by me! I start and end each improvisation with 'Les Barricades Mysterieuses' by Francois Couperin for consistency but everything in the middle is original. Glad you liked it :)

[@itsargyle]

I really, really enjoyed this one. I think the voice acting was really great, but also I really resonated with the story itself. I've had these situations happen before, I've had these kinds of conversations and feelings. Relationships can be messy like this, and hurting someone you care about (or being hurt by someone) is such a like, fundamentally human experience. But that's why I think it really hits here. And dgmw, I love a cliche and easy happy ending, usually that's what I go to listener audios for. But there is also something really cathartic about how grounded this one feels.

[@itsargyle]

Plus, how this audio touched on mental health really just got to me. Again, I've been there and had these conversations. It's just really real.

[@Ninni3535]

I have only positive things to say about this two part series, I love it so much! But what floored me was... You do like, everything??

I am in awe of how beautifully u crafted this audio. I cant even begin to describe why i loved it so much (even tho i hate feeling heartbroken). The personality u gave the listener hit way too close to home, which was why i felt so deeply abt this audio. Thank you for uploading them back-to-back bec i would have never survived pt1 without any closure. This is my first comment on this channel and i just had to comment smth on this masterpiece. I appreciate u taking the time to accurately portray each detail and scene and i would just like to say that YOU ARE SO AWESOME AND TALENTED ❤ i hope your doing well and i just wanted to let u know that ur effort n hard work truly does shine through :> (oh noo i wrote too much)

[@tanukiaudios]

@weasel Shush, you wrote the perfect amount, thank you so much! I did my best to write these two as realistically as I could so I'm glad it shows through. I am much more similar to the listener than the speaker too actually, so it was fun to imagine how the conversation would flow. And I could NEVER end an audio like the first part without following up somehow!! The way these two released and the way it gave me the freedom to be more dramatic in the first one was actually super nice so I'm thinking about doing it again :) Thanks for listening and for the first comment

[@Mattice]

I normally use ASMR videos to fall asleep, but there's something about your voice and the scripts that makes me hang on every word, and by the time the outro started, I hadn't realized over 30 minutes had passed. What I'm trying to say is I wouldn't be opposed to seeing more long-form videos from you.

[@tanukiaudios]

@Mattice Aw that's good to know. I like the longer-form content for how immersive it can be but it also naturally takes a bit more time so it won't be as often but I'd like to do more of these for sure. Thanks for listening

[@MrSnek]

I personally loved the 2 part idea, it gave me more time to get invested in the story and as you mentioned more of your voice is never a bad thing. Same goes for the amount of fluff, I personally love scripts with fluff or slice of life aspects because it gives the more emotionally intense moments room to breathe and leave an impact. It just kinda feels more... real. That isn't to say that I don't enjoy dense scripts that leave me on the edge of my seat, but it's harder to get into the right headspace to really enjoy them, if that makes any sense. At the end of the day, I know anything you upload is going to be great, no matter the topic or length. You're an incredible voice actor, I honestly don't think I can name someone who nails every little detail better than you do. Keep up the incredible work Tanuki, I'm already looking forward to your next upload!

[@tanukiaudios]

@Mr. Snek I definitely agree that this felt more immersive because of its length. And also more real. I surprised myself by being able to get both of these recorded and uploaded as quickly as I did. I think the shorter, denser ones are better for multiple listens but obviously not everyone wants to revisit the story more than once. This was sort of a change of pace for me but it was super nice! Thank you so much for listening

[@beverlyroberts3804]

Wow! I'm emotionally all over the place! That was a great story. As your partner in that situation I'm a little mad. If we're going to be more than friends you are going to have to learn to step back just a step or so, from your other relationships. I'm #1, everyone else is #2a,2b,2c, etc., etc. But I will be happy to be your partner as we learn how to do that! Okay--- Tanaki you are really something, and quite a powerful writer! It took me a few minutes there, but I think I feel better now and more myself and separate from your story.Thanks for taking me along with you on your journey. It was a wild ride!

[@alfinthesimpbin]

guuuuuuuh. tanuki- i ju- guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh 🥺😭 your audios always hit right on the mark in the feels department. the bit that really got me was when your character said that thing about being glad that listener was alive? i can just see myself in both positions as the listener and the speaker. i say dumb shit before my brain can catch it and when i get really depressed, it just... well, things get... it just gets hard to do things. i mean, your speaker character is leagues better at articulating feelings than i am, which is saying a lot. i love how *real* this two-parter felt. your audios are just so, so fucking good. your delivery and acting and dialogue and the audioscape and sfx, everything is just so, so perfect. rarely does an audio make me feel that tightness in my chest that y'know, you get from ehm- *emotion* but you... you, you definitely did that. good job. great, fantastic job! 😢 thank you. you're quickly becoming one of my favorite audio creators. (and aw shit, i'm trying to type this as i'm listening to the audio and that teary voice just fucks me up. it's really hard to gush about you when i'm feeling these emotions, so sorry but also thanks but also how dare you but also thanks)

[@tanukiaudios]

@AlFin Ah that means so much!! Thank you thank you thank you, all I wanna do with my audios is make the listeners feel something like butterflies or nervousness or just immersion even. I can't describe how excited I was writing this after I'd gotten into the characters a bit, I just couldn't wait to record. And then after editing and having it all come together, I'm so happy I made these hehe. At one point, I was editing that bit where the listener says something about not knowing if they can be friends after what happened, and I physically reacted to my own response, like owww... Thank you for listening. Even if I go for old tropes or kinda cliche themes, I think I'd definitely like to try to go for more realistic relationships like this one with my audios going forward :)

[@alfinthesimpbin]

@@tanukiaudios you're absolutely completely welcome. You definitely made me feel all those and more. I can't even put a finger on some of the feelings. A mixture of sadness, longing, betrayal, hope, and "ohmygod I love these idiots so much please let things work out." You know it's good when you hit yourself in the feels since we tend to be our own worst critics. And hey! Tropes and cliches are tropes and cliches for a reason! They work. It's how you use them that pull them away from overused concepts into something familiar yet entirely new. I'm excited for what you come up later! Best of luck, fellow college sufferer. You make dealing with school stress much easier by giving me (good) emotional stress ಥuಥ)b

I looved the 2 parts story! It was phenomenal ! So emotional and cute, I was really relieved to hear the second part though, the first one had me heartbroken 💔 it just show how talented you are both in writing the script and playing out those emotions 🎉 thank you! 😊

[@dragonshaven]

i probably should've commented on the first one but i went immediately to this one so i didn't get the chance. the listener sounds like they could be me in the future. all the talk of being in a dark place in the past and being better now, and making such a good, close friend, and even being an artist- it's basically all i want for myself. i've never realized it before but seeing (and in a way being) someone who's _been_ in a really difficult time but is now healed from that gave me so much hope for my own future. like, it's really showing me, this _is_ possible to achieve from the place i'm at right now. thank you for making such a beautiful story.

[@Yoga-lj7mq]

I’ve finished listening to the two parts!!! It is excellent！ You must have put much effort in it~ I love all the little details you added, they are so interesting and cute, and in audios with much information and plots, they make the audio more relaxing for listeners. It’s really satisfying how his little jokes in pt2 are correlated to the ones in pt1. My favorite are the marshmallow ones(tbh I haven’t toasted marshmallows before and your audio makes me wanna try it someday) The plot really got my mood swinging when listening to the audio! I got really pissed off at the end of pt1, and I was like “I AM DEFINITELY NOT FORGIVING HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS” The confession in pt2 turned out to be sweet though❤ The ending of burning the sweater(Totoro🥺nooo) and toasting marshmallows together is a great symbol of saying goodbye to the past and the character’s growth from being indecisive about his relationships with people to dealing with his own feelings in a more mature way. But irl I am sure that if he say that Sarah is the most important thing at THAT MOMENT he won’t be having a second chance no matter what hehe The sound effects are amazing too! The sound of the birds, the rain, the listener running away, cars passing by…Above all, the sound of the heartbeat is outstandingly good😭 I can literally feel my heart beating. Ah! Lastly, the longer version of the piano at the end is beautiful!!! My birthday is this Sunday and I am planning on making a video to mark this special year for myself. May I have the permission to use it as the bgm? I promise that it’s not for commercial use and I’ll not post it:-D

[@tanukiaudios]

@Yoga于佳 Hehe for audio drama purposes there are some little choices I made that I don't think are as realistic, like how clumsily he handled the situation and how quickly everything moved. I think I would forgive him personally, but certainly not that quickly. The length definitely had something to do with how immersive it ended up being, I really liked the effect of it. And having two separate parts allowed me to be a little more dramatic in the middle. Overall it was fun :) Poor Totoro, goodness. I wish I had a Totoro sweater, there's no way I'd burn one. The heartbeat was probably the most annoying sound effect to include but I really wanted to get it right. When I'd finished editing it, I could literally feel it making my heart beat a little faster so I knew I had to keep it in! Absolutely you can use the song!! I will email it to you! It makes me happy that you'd even want to hehe. Thank you for listening

XD But, I did really like that he explained that he came over because he wanted to make sure we were okay even when he knew we'd probably hate him, that didn't deter him from caring so much for us. And when he got to explaining his involvement with her and all the conflicting emotions, etc. I think the length you used to explain it all was a good length to use. It takes time to really get into those types of emotions and other complex things and relay them all with enough accuracy to really make the other person understand the full situation. I think that was done well. :) I don't really know if making it shorter would've worked better. Personally, I think it was a good length. And it made it much more realistic and believable. Also, I love hearing the piano music play at the end of your audios, especially how it's in theme with the story. :3 The music you played here at this audio's end really worked with the tone of the story. I could get into a bit of an analysis, but that would make this comment much too long. XD Is the piano a recording you downloaded, or did you play it yourself? It's really, really pretty. :3 Thank you so much for another fantastic audio!

@Sashialla Odin Right?? I'm sure it would be so distressing to be confessed to like that and then he immediately brushes you off for someone else! The context sets it all straight but also I think he needs a little more time to sort himself out. It's so difficult to properly be there for someone when you're struggling yourself. But also if he's all the listener character has, isn't it worse for him to not check up? It's difficult! And that's why it was fun to write hehe, it was a lot to think about. But I enjoyed the bit of nuance it took to write it. I just hope I was able to script and act it well enough for it to make sense. I think he clearly cares a lot about the listener character. In the real world, I feel like all these events would take quite a bit longer to unfold. I got kind of excited when I realized I needed more length to actually say everything I wanted to say. New record for the channel! I never thought I had a video this long in me. I did play the outro music myself! I can email you a link to it if you want it isolated. It felt more cinematic to introduce it softly while the character dialogue fades out before I come in talking myself. I think I might do that from now on!

[@sashiallaodin8650]

​​@@tanukiaudios You definitely scripted and acted it well if you ask me. Maybe it would have taken a longer time in real life, maybe not. Hm... I guess it all depends on each person and where they are mentally and emotionally. But, the way you handled this audio all made sense from my way thinking. :) I would love to listen to an isolated audio of the piano music. :3 You play beautifully; you're very skilled.

[@ravenkoz23]

444th like !! oh my goshhhh I'M SO EMOTIONAL 😭 i jst finished part 1 and i'm so glad there's a part 2 already !!! YOU DID SO WELL (AS ALWAYS) it's so natural 💗 THANK U FOR THISSS

[@IMeanGabriel]

Tanukiiiiii gosh you're so good at this...I have watched your previous videos over and over but they still fascinate me every time. Your voice is one of the most special and gentle I've ever heard, which matches perfectly with the carefully-designed script, and you giggles always make my heart flutter =) thank you for all the sweet dreams and conforts beyond imagination! Also Tanuki sharing true feelings at the end is the cutest❤❤ I'm sure I will love it no matter which style you choose. please feel free to create in the way you like, glad to know that you had fun making videos too!

[@tanukiaudios]

@Gabriel IMean Tanuki was tired at the end of this one (and also trying to be quiet so he wouldn't disturb his roommates) so I almost wish I'd gone back to redo the outro. But that wouldn't be right I think. I cut out little sections of the outro too, I talked about the little poll I did after the last video. I thought it was funny how that video was just a platonic, relaxing kinda script but then 98 PERCENT of my viewers voted against strictly platonic audios hehe. So that's what I was alluding to. I love making the romance ones like this though, it's good to know what I should focus on more. And I'm glad all the time I put into the scripts shows through!!! Thank you so much for saying so

[@CassidyGrace29]

I don't know if it's the story or your voice but I swear I'm melting into a puddle of love-filled goo

[@ysabellabee]

My reaction to new videos is just cheering “Tanuki!” this is a good night

[@Violet_wave]

The writing in this is top notch!!!!!.

[@SKITTLE_BOI43]

37 minute video! We have been blessed once again!

[@sugarcrash2887]

Tanuki! You’re delivering move length, Hollywood quality audios. I’m still not sure I believe you’re doing this all in a closet, but fantastic work!! Loved it and can’t wait to hear anything else you produce!

[@sugarcrash2887]

Also it was not at all draggy. The small elements you added to the story helped ground the characters and make them more realistic :)

[@CallMeLess]

the raw emotion I felt deep in my heart, woah!

[@clocks_for_sale4634]

I love the tea

[@kneazleww3014]

peopel do have their own stuffs so i guess what we can do is to try to control ourselves or maybe sometimes try to share those feelings with people who we trust and love, this do help. And on the other hand I think we need something sweet next that might help even better ❤❤❤thank you so much for making this soft video

[@oven.coven.]

omgggg i loved it, ur uploads always brighten my day, it was a treat getting these audios back to back:) hope ur well, take care tanuki:))

[@tanukiaudios]

@mylo While it was a struggle to edit in time, it was so satisfying to schedule them like that. Also it gave me the freedom to make a cliffhanger audio and I've always wanted one of those hehe. Thanks for listening

[@lumine5574]

The way I gasped when i heard the ‘burn the totoro sweater’ 😭😂

[@TonyaBluestone]

Oh those voice shakes. The unsure tone. A lovely messy explaination and Kind heart o of a character. Good Job Tanuki!

[@nathaliasec9870]

Literally, I can’t express how much emotion I just went though. I feel like I just saw the enlightenment in two hours I feel my ears have been blessed, I feel amazing like holy moly, tanuki wth, I feel like whatchamacallit I can’t even describe how much I feel right now. I teared up, I sobbed man I scream like I holy Jesus. Anyway, I LOVE IT TANUKI JESUS THANK YOU‼️‼️

[@tanukiaudios]

@Nathalia sec Woahh it was that powerful?? Wow I'm happy to hear that. Thank you so much!! I'll do my best to do even better in the next one

[@chocolatemillk]

I could listen to your voice for hours. This 2 part audio is a cool new thing youre trying and we always welcome fresh ideas from you (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡ and theres something we can look forward to after we have listened to the first part which is always a plus. Thank you for your hard work and i hope you know i always appreciate whatever you post for us ╰⁠(⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠´⁠꒳⁠`⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠⸝⁠)⁠╯sending love and hugs tanuki. Youve been amazing

[@tanukiaudios]

@choco Mhm, I'm really happy with how the two part thing turned out! It also lets me be a little more dramatic with the first one. I'd like to do it again! Thanks for listening

[@ambys1709]

this made my heart ache with a nostalgia that i can't name. the passion of a first love is like no other. thank you for making me shed a few tears. i should talk to him. it's been a while. your fingers tap light on glass aorta that pumps with a missing flame.

[@tanukiaudios]

@ameera Ugh you're right. That first love can be all-consuming. Thank you for listening. I love your haiku, oh my goodness that one is so good

[@jae4576]

i frikin love ur audios 😭, it makes me feel like I’m in a movie, it’s so cinematic but in an audio that’s crazy so underrated🫡

[@tanukiaudios]

@Jaeシ 배 Ahh thank you!! That's so nice to hear

[@egggonagher2579]

i would like to apologize for screaming "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO" at the top of my lungs when the marshmallows came up again, that was inappropriate

[@FluffyMochi]

I just binged these last two and oh my god Tanuki. The writing, the emotions, I am a MESS (in the good way. Like- "oh my god that was such good writing and-" you know what I mean.) Take good good care of yourself! I LOVE THESE SCRIPTS SOOO MUCH! The two part-er was pain but thankfully (painfully) my algorithm didn't give the first one to me til this one came out. So happy to hear from you and hear your voice again

[@izzybellason289]

i was listening to this while doing laundry and had to sit down to cry dude

[@evanlikesdogs]

I love the 2 part thing! And now I need a part 2 of the frog guy. I need to at least hug him😭

[@KL-ew8lu]

You really are spoiling us! I love all the details you add, they make things so real and extra genuine. Rambling is also super cute, I guess I enjoy you just talking. I also really like the two characters. Great great works as always, hope to see you soon~

[@sodapop2885]

You have just been on it good job🗣👍👍👍

[@camagatchi]

oh my gosh this tugged at my heartstrings SO HARD ive never held my breath as hard as i did while listening to this audio, and all i can do is applaud you for such wonderful work! i was so so immersed in this and i cant say i feel like that very often. im honestly struggling to find the right words to capture how amazing this was :’0 once again, wonderful job!

[@oobinox-fp4sw]

I usually listen to these kind of rps as the listener (myself) playing as my fursona (yes I’m a furry), and I could see myself opening the door with a rifle over my shoulder (anxiety). Very well done

[@Sapphire_dragon97]

I like how this ended❤ It would be too much if more happened. Felt cathartic

[@sibiachoc6080]

The transition was really nice and flowed together with the other video~👌 Loved the story and rain!❤️ And yes; Burn. The. Sweater.

[@rono7413]

Even though we made up I’m still sad you gave me a small heart break that I have to remember it’s not real 😭😭😭

Noooo not the sweater 😭 I would unravel it and make something else or just donate, someone would be happy to find it in a thrift store lol

[@jellyjello9836]

Im sorry but i would've been so stubborn 😣

[@multifandomCass]

I CANNOT SAY WITH WORDS HIW SOFT I AM SIR YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING AS WELL AS YOUR STORYTELLING. Also I feel both sides menthe story ofc the listener since I'm the listener but I also felt so called out when you brought up the locking myself away bc that's what I need to do to calm down but also the speaker because I am that person who wants to help everyone and make sure their okay even if I know I don't owe others that.

[@harmonium5495]

Ngl I'm still kinda pissed at him
