just anywhere

[color=red]1) We can’t go anywhere for your birthday party. It has to be somewhere special.

[color=indigo]2) We can’t go just anywhere for your birthday party. It has to be somewhere special.

Does ‘1’ work? Isn’t the ‘just’ needed?

Does the ‘it’ in the second sentence work?

Gratefully,
Navi.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

They’re both fine.
