The oriental tones in the intro and the light, irresistibly danceable beat feel so good, don’t they? This is a single released in 2016 by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino, chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “We Married as a Job!” in which he also appeared.

More than just a love song, it carries a deep message about everyday life, the bond between two people, and transcending existing relationships.

The so-called “Koi Dance” from the drama’s ending became a social phenomenon and a massive hit.

With its immense popularity, this song will not only get everyone excited dancing together as entertainment, but it will also fill the entire venue with a happy vibe during entrance or toast scenes.

Gen Hoshino’s “Comedy,” as chosen for the ending theme of the anime SPY×FAMILY, features lyrics that strikingly capture the shape and nature of family from multiple angles.

It argues that family isn’t defined solely by blood ties; rather, the bonds formed by a contract of the heart are what make a true family.

Since its release in April 2022, it has been performed on numerous programs such as CDTV Live! Live! and the 73rd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, moving many listeners.

Highly recommended as wedding BGM or a performance song to express gratitude to one’s parents, this piece is perfectly suited to a joyous new beginning.

This is a pop tune that delivers a heartwarming message centered on farewells and reunions with those close to us.

Released by Gen Hoshino in December 2015 as the theme song for the film “Moriyamachu Driving School,” the piece likens life’s journey to a voyage at sea, gently portraying the beauty of relationships that can support each other in our hearts even when we’re apart.

While incorporating elements of dance music, the song retains a subtle sense of wistfulness that is quintessentially Hoshino.

It’s an ideal choice for a friend’s speech—one that looks back on irreplaceable memories with a dear friend while expressing the desire to keep supporting each other from here on out.

Gen Hoshino’s songs often have a warm sound, so they’re classics for wedding BGM.

Among his tracks, the one I’d love to hear played during the toast at the reception or the cake-cutting is “Hello Song.” Beginning brightly with strings, it has a happy vibe that’s perfect for weddings.

It feels like just the right song for that moment marking the start of your new life together.

If any of the wedding guests have young children, anime songs might be a great choice.

Among those, a song I highly recommend for a band performance is Gen Hoshino’s “Doraemon.” Since it’s the theme song for the beloved national TV anime Doraemon, it’s very well-known among kids and really gets the crowd excited.

And because it’s a Gen Hoshino song, it’s also a lot of fun to play.

Gen Hoshino’s “Chawan” depicts a married couple growing older together.

As they look through a photo album, a warm, peaceful scene filled with happiness comes to life, reflecting on the days they’ve shared.

A wedding isn’t a goal but a new beginning for two people.

Don’t you think that not only songs that express love straightforwardly, but also simple songs that portray decades of life—children being born, growing up and leaving the nest, and the two of them returning to a quiet life together—are perfect for a wedding?
