AiHata Motohiro

Motohiro Hata / Ai (Acoustic Version)

It’s a bit difficult to sing and play it with arpeggios like the original without some practice, but you could also just hold the chords with a pick and strum, which I think works too.

I believe it’s a song that, with the emcee guiding things skillfully during the lively reception, can be presented in a calm and moving way.

Name of the FlowerBUMP OF CHICKEN

The Name of a Flower live (with lyrics)

It’s a song by BUMP OF CHICKEN.

Released in October 2007 as their 13th single, it’s known as the theme song for the film “Always: Sunset on Third Street 2.” It features a calm tone and lyrics that resonate deeply, perfectly matched with the gentle sound of acoustic guitar.

It expresses encounters and experiences as feelings toward someone important, making it a song that touches many hearts.

While it might give a slightly melancholic impression as entertainment at a wedding or reception, it’s a perfect song to sing with feelings of gratitude for someone special.

Is that okay?RADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Is It Okay? [Official Music Video]

This song, included on RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan, is a love song overflowing with affection for the other person.

The more you listen, the more it fills you with warmth.

Its straightforward lyrics—asking, “Is it really okay to love someone this much?”—bring back the purity of first love.

The song unfolds in a very RADWIMPS-like way, building from a quiet intro into an emotional swell.

It’s a moving number you’ll want to listen to with your partner.

Sing it at a wedding to that special someone and make their day.

Wherever you areONE OK ROCK

Wherever You Are – ONE OK ROCK Full

The popularity of ONE OK ROCK among young people has been steadily rising lately.

This song of theirs is truly a love ballad.

The pitch is a bit high for men to sing, so tuning down by a half step should make it just right.

Baby, I love youTEE

TEE – Baby, I Love You

This song was also often used at weddings, so it’s a great choice for guitar-and-vocal covers.

Playing it as-is is fine, but if you add a bit of arrangement and make the performance feel a little more pop, it will create a brighter mood and help set a fun atmosphere.

Ride On TimeYamashita Tatsuro

Ride On Time - Tatsuro Yamashita

The difficulty level is a bit high, but if you can sing and play it, it’s an incredibly cool song.

What makes it challenging is that, since the song is unexpectedly simple, it’s hard to sing with enough dynamics.

It would be even better with a saxophone solo in the background.

It might be a good choice for couples in age-gap marriages.

No matter how good you are at guitar or how confident you are in your singing, I don’t think it’s easy to take on this song.

But it’s packed with great lyrics, so I highly recommend it.

If you perform it gently and heartfelt, I think it will really get the audience going.
