I arranged Ketsumeishi’s “Tomodachi” into a tear-jerking music box version.

A hip-hop group Ketsumeishi’s fourth single that plays songs that resonate with every generation.

It’s an early track, but it became well known after breaking into the top 10 of the Oricon Singles Chart.

Sung over a bittersweet melody about parting with friends, it’s a classic that carries the wish to talk again someday if we meet somewhere, even if our paths have diverged.

Choosing a song that reflects how we feel about our friends and having it played on the big day of a wedding makes for the best kind of memory!
