maco's Wedding Songs Pick Up♩
Currently trending is the female singer-songwriter maco.
She is often referred to as the "post-Kana Nishino" and has many popular love songs among young women.
Maco has a unique background!
Since childhood, she has loved Western music and was uploading videos to YouTube where she sang original lyrics she translated and interpreted herself.
Her rendition of Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" as "私たちは絶対に絶対にヨリを戻したりしない" became a topic of discussion on the internet♩
This video is from 2013.
After that, she quickly made her artist debut♩
In 2014, she had the achievement of being the opening act for Ariana Grande's first concert in Japan, and she is especially supported by girls♡
In the past, she sometimes felt it was tough to be called the "post-Kana Nishino" due to her similar voice and style.
However, now she expresses a positive desire to surpass that diva, wanting to stand on the same stage someday and convey her love, stating her feelings to her fans♩
Certainly, such attitude and sincere aura are reasons for her popularity.
In this article, we will pick up and introduce songs from maco that would be great to play at weddings.
①Together Forever
"Together Forever" is a song from a female perspective, fully conveying the feeling of "I love you" to a beloved man.
Though it's a song from 2016, I remember it being often used in couple videos back then.
It makes you feel like you want to be with your boyfriend or husband forever!♡

It's the perfect song to play when the bride exits with friends during the ceremony.
