It was included on the double A-side single “Eien ni Tomo ni / Million Films,” released in 2004.

“Eien ni Tomo ni” was sung at the wedding of Tomonori Jinnai and Norika Fujiwara, but because they later divorced, the song has become something of a taboo for weddings.

Meanwhile, “Million Films” continues to be loved as a classic wedding song.

It’s a superb pop tune: a refreshing, upbeat number with a heart-tuggingly bittersweet melody.
