If you deliver a speech that looks back on the couple’s memories and celebrates your friend’s new beginning in life, carried by the gentle tones of the music box, the venue will surely be filled with a warm atmosphere.

Dear BrideNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s very first wedding song.
Friendship isn’t all about the good times—it’s something that’s born as you share the unpleasant and the sad moments too.
Since it’s the future chosen by the friend who’s been through those days with you, it’s bound to be something wonderful.
I’d love to give this song—stronger and kinder than any words of congratulations—to a friend who’s getting married!

While incorporating elements of dance music, it retains a faintly wistful atmosphere characteristic of Gen Hoshino.
It’s perfect for a friend’s speech where you look back on irreplaceable memories with a dear friend and express your hope to keep supporting each other in the days to come.
