J-pop singer Aoyama Thelma announced on February 15th that she has written her first ever wedding song for her close friend, Kinoshita Yukina!
“Zutto” will be released as a single on March 2nd, and is said to be a tender ballad that expresses a newly-wedded bride’s feelings towards her new husband. Aoyama re-wrote the lyrics five times, and worked on the song for three months straight, in order to give her friend the perfect wedding gift.
A small wedding ceremony was held at Tokyo’s Disney Resort on December 5th for the close friends and relatives of the newlyweds, and “Zutto” made its unofficial debut and brought tears to the eyes of everyone present. Kinoshita Yukina and her husband, Fujimoto Toshifumi, will be holding a second wedding reception in order to include more people on February 20th – half a year since they turned in their marriage papers back in August – where the singer will present her friend with the finished version of the song.
The PV for the song was filmed in December at the Takasaki marriage hall and depicts Aoyama in a church. Although it is currently unknown whether or not Kinoshita will appear in the PV itself, she revealed that she came to the filming and often talked with her friend during the breaks. The cover of the single also features Kinoshita in a wedding dress.
Aoyama Thelma and Kinoshita Yukina first met four years ago on the television show “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP,” but did not become friends until after they met again at a mutual friend’s birthday party. The two now stay at each other’s houses often and are intimately close companions.
“I’m really so glad that I met her (out of all the people) in show business,” said Kinoshita when asked about her best friend. “And truly, thank you for taking part in such a huge turning point in my life.”
