Moreover, in another interview she was asked what was the marriage song for her and she replied 'Many people would name 'Virgin Road' but to me it is 'M'

Hey, thank you from the bottom of my heart
For all the loneliness, pain, sins and love

Hey, there are words I was never able to say it before
Uh, thank you for this life

That day when I couldn’t take care of myself
It wasn’t me who was hurt

I’ll never forget the day I first saw tears on your profile
When you’d always acted cheerful

I’ve met someone who says he wants to love and protect me as I am
Now we’re starting out walking together
No matter what sadness attacks us, no matter what happiness we encounter
We’ve sworn to share every moment of our lives
Please look out for me

Hey, I’m going to be thankful for everything that happens from now
Uh, thank you for everything, forever

There have been nights when we’ve argued
And I’ve run out of the house crying and screaming

But in the end I always know
That you understand me better than anyone else

I have a feeling that the person I love is similar somehow
To the person you met and fell in love with long ago

I have a feeling that the person I love is similar somehow
To the person you met and fell in love with long ago
For example, I see traces of him in his unconscious mannerisms
When I realised that, a single tear fell onto my cheek
So warm

Hey, thank you from the bottom of my heart
For all the loneliness, pain, sins and love

Yeah, it's a song where she is thanking her mother for taking care of her and saying that now she knew a guy who will take care of her from now on, that she will share her life with. A guy who loves her and accept her the way the is, who reminds her of her father (what can sound a little creepy, but common sense always tell us we fall in love with someone who has a similar personality of our father/mother). She is thanking her mom for everything cuz now she is getting married ^~

It doesn't matter if she met Mannie or not at that time, on the same way Nagase didn't die for her to write Heaven for example, and this doesn't change the fact that Virgin Road was announced by Avex as her first wedding song... far before we even heard the song or knew about the PV...
