STORYAI

An immortal classic that sparked a renewed boom after becoming the theme song for the Disney film Big Hero 6.
A wedding song that inspires the bride and groom to renew their resolve to support each other throughout their lives.
Its husky, powerful vocals are perfect for a church ceremony.
Heart KnotYuuma

This is a warm ballad by Yuma, written to celebrate the departure into a new chapter of a dear person.
Released in July 2025, it carries a special backstory: it was created as a wedding gift for his own manager.
The song gently weaves pure gratitude and blessings for the future.
The calm tones of piano and acoustic guitar further highlight its straightforward message.
If you listen when you want to express appreciation to a friend or partner, it’s sure to warm your heart.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a wedding song!
signpostNEW!Fukuyama Masaharu

Speaking of weddings, we tend to focus first on the entrance music, the cake-cutting, and the ring exchange, but what must not be neglected are the words of thanks to the parents and friends who have supported you in so many ways up to marriage.
When the bride reads her letter or when the groom gives his thank-you speech, if possible, play this song from the very beginning—it will surely move the whole venue to tears.
Thank youNEW!SMAP

This is one of SMAP’s major hit songs.
Since the lyrics use the first-person “boku” and focus on “small happiness,” wedding professionals might not recommend it, but for a bride who’s a Johnny’s fan, it could be a good choice for the letter-reading scene.
It’s a song everyone knows, so playing a music-box-style instrumental is also an option.
It’s more than enough to convey gratitude to your parents.
cosmos (flower)NEW!Yamaguchi Momoe

It may not be used as often in today’s wedding scenes, but it’s still a go-to song that adds color to any ceremony.
With lyrics and music by Masashi Sada, it’s a superb ballad tenderly sung by the legendary idol Momoe Yamaguchi.
Selected as one of the “100 Best Songs of Japan,” it remains a classic that many artists continue to cover, including Masaharu Fukuyama and Ayaka Sasaki of Momoiro Clover Z.
It’s a perfect choice for the letter-reading scene.
Thank youikimonogakari

A famous song known from the morning drama series “Gegege no Nyobo,” this moving piece expresses the feelings of a wife gently standing by her husband.
It’s a wedding song that conveys the strong resolve of a bride who thinks, “From now on, I will support this person forever.”

loveHoshino Gen

It’s a smash-hit love song.
It’s the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job,” which portrays an unusual married life.
Many people have probably filmed the Koi Dance as a friends’ performance for wedding receptions.
The chorus lyrics express the bride and groom’s desire to keep living their married life without ever forgetting the time when they first fell in love.
