Song of Beginningsmaruri to ryūga

Maruri to Ryuga – Song of Beginnings

Maruri to Ryuga is a pop duo that made their major debut in 2018 and earned strong support from younger listeners with love songs that are irresistibly relatable.

Their digital-only single “Hajimari no Uta” features lyrics that stir the heart, recalling memories with a partner and vowing eternal love.

When performing it as a guitar-and-vocal piece, tricky chord shapes like G#m7-5 and F#m7-5 appear, but the tempo is relaxed and most of the progression uses basic chords, making it approachable.

It’s a heartwarming pop tune that celebrates a new beginning—perfect for weddings.

rainbowSuda Masaki

Masaki Suda 'Niji' (Rainbow)

This is the song chosen as the theme for STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.

Released in November 2020, it’s performed by Masaki Suda, who is also a popular actor.

The lyrics and composition were handled by Huwie Ishizaki.

It’s a moving, pure love song that fully reflects the film’s worldview, and Suda’s straightforward vocals are deeply touching.

Combined with the warmth of the melody, it’s the kind of song that might bring you to tears before you know it.

It reminds you anew of the importance of the person by your side.

A path I can walk because it’s with you.Takahashi Yuu

Yu Takahashi, affectionately known by fans as a “real-time singer-songwriter” for his concept of singing what he feels on the very day he feels it.

The song “Anata to Dakara Ayumeru Michi” included on his major 2nd album “Kono Koe” evokes the image of a wedding with lyrics that capture the feelings on a day that marks a milestone between the past and the future.

If you’re doing a guitar-and-vocal rendition, only basic chords are used, so even if you’re suddenly asked to play at a friend’s wedding reception or after-party, you should be able to take it on calmly.

However, since parts of the melody line can be tricky, be sure to focus not only on the guitar but also on the singing.

Just by you being herekome kome CLUB

Just by you being here

“Kimi ga Iru Dake de” resounds through the moving moments of a wedding.

Played with just an acoustic guitar, its melody leaves an even deeper impression.

It’s an ideal song for conveying feelings to someone special through music, whether as a performance or a gift.

Simple yet profound lyrics seem to speak on behalf of the bride and groom.

I believe it’s a work that evokes deep emotion and empathy, bringing guests to tears.

If you were to cry

GOING STEADY, a rock band known as the predecessor of Ging Nang Boyz, made a strong mark on the scene despite being indie.

The song “Moshimo Kimi ga Naku Naraba,” included on their second album Sakura no Uta, leaves an impact with lyrics overflowing with love for a partner.

It only uses simple chords, but because the changes are quick, be careful to articulate each chord clearly.

It’s an upbeat tune that will liven up a wedding reception, and one I’d recommend as a gift from the groom to the bride.

Banzai ~ I’m glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu

Ulfuls – Banzai ~I'm Glad I Fell in Love~

It’s a well-known classic, no explanation needed.

I think it could be a great touch to have a friend perform it live for your re-entrance.

It’s a song I’d love to hear strummed soulfully on just one guitar, but it would also be beautiful if a woman performed it in a gentle, intimate style.

My First Kissanshin papa

Kiteretsu Encyclopedia OP 'My First Kiss'

Performing “Hajimete no Chuu” as part of the entertainment is sure to add a splash of color to the scene.

Famous as the theme song for the anime Kiteretsu Daihyakka, this tune’s nostalgic sound and friendly lyrics will gently resonate with the guests.

Its melody—one almost everyone has heard at least once—perfectly suits celebrating the happy new beginning of the bride and groom.

Why not choose this song as a surprise for your friends or your loved one?
