There’s a perfect AKB48 song for celebrating weddings.

As the title “Share Your Happiness” suggests, the lyrics convey the message, “Please share the happiness of married life with each other as bride and groom.” Attending a wedding makes you feel like you’ve received a generous share of joy, and the song also includes the sentiment, “If anything comes up from now on, feel free to lean on me,” so it lets you express not only congratulations but also, “I look forward to continuing our relationship.”

AKB48’s song is an energetic track with a lively rhythm and an uplifting message.

Featuring a disco-style beat and catchy melody, it creates a fun atmosphere that makes your heart dance just by listening.

Released in August 2013, the song became a huge hit along with its much-talked-about choreography at the time, and even gained broad support by being adopted as a departure melody on the Tokyo Metro.

It also works perfectly as background music during wedding receptions—cheerfully enlivening the mood without disrupting guests’ conversations.

It’s a wonderful song that inspires a sense of hope for a bright future for the newlyweds and their guests.
