Recommended band songs for weddings. Use them as a reference for choosing BGM! (21–30)
threadkuriipuhaipe
Among CreepHyp’s songs, this one especially conveys straightforward feelings of love and the importance of staying true to yourself.
Its down-to-earth lyrics, which anyone can relate to, seize listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.
Released as their 11th major-label single, it was selected as the theme song for the film “Teiichi: Battle of Supreme High.” The music video features a playful, unique concept where paper dolls appear alongside the band members.
It’s a track you’ll want to play not only for couples but also at weddings—it’s sure to gently encourage everyone present.
Our Eternity — A love that, no matter how many times we’re reborn, only wants to hold hands.WEAVER
If you like band sounds with piano, I recommend WEAVER’s “Our Eternity ~Because it’s a love that, no matter how many times we’re reborn, all we want is to hold hands~.” WEAVER is a three-piece band formed in Kobe, with the vocalist also on piano and no guitarist—an arrangement that’s relatively rare for a rock band.
Over catchy melodies, they sing an earnest message, as reflected in the subtitle.
It’s a song that will hype up a band set, just like WEAVER’s!
Marriage Fighting-Spirit March “Best Buddies”Kishidan
When it comes to Kishidan songs recommended for weddings, this is the one to celebrate a friend’s marriage.
It’s a true bonds-of-friendship wedding song that sings of friendship and love.
The straightforward lyrics, filled with a deep wish for a best friend to “be happy,” are truly moving.
Released as a single in 2004, it also ranked high on the Oricon charts.
It’s perfect for playing during a best friend’s speech or for everyone to sing together.
It’s an ideal song that celebrates the bride and groom’s new beginning while also letting you feel the bond among friends.

If you’re performing at a wedding, love songs are definitely the way to go.
Among love songs, I recommend “Hanataba” by back number as a ballad.
It has a relaxed tempo, so even with a tight practice schedule, it should be easier to get performance-ready.
The song also lends itself well to acoustic arrangements, making it a great choice for venues where you can’t play too loudly.
loveHoshino Gen
This is the theme song of the TV drama “We Married as a Job,” which aired in 2016 and became a hot topic.
It was also performed at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen and sparked a boom across Japan.
It’s a song you can enjoy in many ways—playing it with a band, doing a solo acoustic rendition with just a guitar, or even having people dance along during the performance.
Banzai ~ I’m glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
While mellow ballads are lovely, if you want to play something bright and energetic, Ulfuls are highly recommended! Among their songs are many that are often used as wedding BGM, but this one is the top pick.
The lyrics, which blend humor with a clear expression of love, really make you think, “That’s Ulfuls for you!” It’s also great to have everyone sing the chorus out loud together.
I like you.Mr.Children
You may want to perform as a band at a wedding, but with a tight practice schedule, tackling very difficult songs can be tough.
For you, I recommend Mr.Children’s “Kimi ga Suki” (“I Love You”).
Among Mr.Children’s songs, this one has a relatively relaxed tempo, making it easier for beginner bands to play together.
And since it’s a ballad, it also shines in an acoustic arrangement.
