Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Classic wedding songs are great, but many people also want tracks that resonate with today’s sensibilities or get everyone celebrating together.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs that are perfect for Gen Z weddings.

This is a signature early masterpiece by back number that vividly captures the ache of unrequited love and has earned passionate support from Gen Z.

Released in June 2011 as their second single, it was selected as the ending theme for TBS’s “COUNT DOWN TV.” Also included on the album “Superstar,” the song, told through the casual conversations of a couple, conveys a down-to-earth desire to cherish the time spent together now rather than an uncertain future—something that resonates deeply with listeners.

Its warmth comes not from grand words but from savoring everyday happiness, making it a perfect fit for an unpretentious wedding profile video or as background music for relaxed conversations with guests.
