I'll be by your side, Uru

Uru, who drew attention in 2020 when her collaborative single with LiSA, “Saikai (produced by Ayase),” was performed on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, has a song called “Soba ni Iru yo” whose emotional vocals make it a great fit for a wedding tune.

The track also serves as the theme song for ABEMA’s online dating show “We Got Married 4,” which boosts its recognition—a nice plus.

Moreover, the song portrays a mature view of love, so people in their thirties, whose perspectives tend to be more settled than in their twenties, may find its values especially relatable.

In conclusion

I think there were also pieces that were quite difficult to sing.

But since it’s a wedding song, the key point isn’t the difficulty—it’s how well you can convey your feelings through the music.

Take your time choosing a song that makes you think, “I can sing this with all my heart!”
