fhána / Rhapsody of the Blue Sky – MUSIC VIDEO

The opening theme of the anime Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.

It’s a cute song that’s easy to remember and gets stuck in your head.

The dance you can see in the music video is simple too, so it might be fun to try it with a few people.

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

At a wedding, it’s wonderful to express your love with quiet, heartfelt tears, but I also think it’s great to declare your love in a bright, energetic way.

In those moments, I recommend Ulfuls’ “Banzai ~Suki de Yokatta~.” It’s a love song that can truly be called a classic among classics.

Sakanaction / New Treasure Island -Music Video-

If you’re thinking of doing a slightly quirky, high-impact dance, Sakanaction’s “Shin Takara Jima” is highly recommended.

The music video pays homage to TV shows from the Showa era, and the simple dance performed in the song—along with the members’ deadpan expressions—became a hot topic.

The dance originally comes from The Drifters, and it’s been loved across generations.

The World Calls It Love / Sambomaster (Cover)

This 2005 release by Sambomaster is also known as the theme song for the hit TV drama Densha Otoko.

Many men in their 30s might think, “If it’s Sambomaster, it has to be this song!” The straightforward lyrics really hit home, don’t they?

Journey of the Heartchūrippu75rank/position

Kokoro no Tabi / Tulip (with lyrics)

This is a classic song that richly captures the bittersweet feelings before setting off on a journey.

It beautifully expresses both the excitement and loneliness of the last night spent with a loved one before starting a new life.

Listening to it vividly brings back memories from those days.

Released by Tulip in April 1973, it reached No.

1 on the Oricon chart.

It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Ninjō Ippon Kokoro no Tabi,” as well as in commercials for the Toyota Carina and JR West.

Evoking the romance of nostalgic train travel, the song’s friendly, sing-along melody is part of its charm.

How about humming it together with seniors while clapping along?

Telecaster StripePorukadotto Sutingurei76rank/position

Polkadot Stingray “Telecaster Stripe” MV

Razor-sharp guitar and rhythmic drums, a gritty, driving bass, and sultry vocals.

This piece by the rock band Polkadot Stingray—known for releasing highly addictive tracks—was released in 2016.

It expresses the fleeting nature of love with uniquely distinctive wording.

Rather than singing it straight, you might try incorporating rolled R’s and other articulations to draw out the song’s atmosphere.

How about covering it with a female-vocal band?

Sugar Baby LoveThe Rubettes77rank/position

The Rubettes – Sugar Baby Love

“Sugar Baby Love” is a single released in 1974 by the British band The Rubettes.

The song is a doo-wop tune with an oldies vibe that became a worldwide hit.

It’s also very popular in Japan and is still frequently heard today in commercials and elsewhere.

Brimming with unbridled brightness and a sense of happiness, it also carries a distinctly summery feel.
