Brightening the start of a new chapter in life! Wedding songs born in the Heisei era

Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

A wedding is one of life’s biggest events.

This heartwarming song by Miyuki Nakajima begins with the emotive sound of Scottish bagpipes, into which Japanese lyrical melodies gently blend.

Tenderly singing of life abroad, farewells to loved ones, and hope for new beginnings, it offers a profound exploration of life’s subtleties.

Released in October 2014, the song was written as the theme for the NHK morning drama “Massan,” musically illuminating the true story of the couple who helped give birth to Japanese whisky.
