The Sign of I Love You: Our Predicted FutureDREAMS COME TRUE
It’s a love ballad that sings from the woman’s perspective.
It’s an answer song to “Mirai Yosouzu,” which expresses the man’s feelings.
The music conveys, “I don’t know what the future holds, but please stay by my side as if it’s the most natural thing.” I also performed it at a friend’s wedding.
Someday My Prince Will ComeDave Brubeck
Known as an insert song from the film Snow White, this piece is a romantic tune that portrays a young woman’s heart dreaming of meeting her prince.
In 1957, after Dave Brubeck featured it on his album Dave Digs Disney, it also came to be cherished as a jazz standard.
With its relaxed tempo and a melody that unfolds as if savoring each note, it pairs beautifully with the warm timbre of the saxophone.
It’s an ideal choice to perform as entertainment at weddings and receptions.
If you enjoy gently sentimental songs, why not give it a try?
「Precious Love」EXILE ATSUSHI
This is the theme song for Zexy sung by EXILE ATSUSHI.
The gentle melody sung by ATSUSHI is soothing.
It pairs perfectly with the saxophone.
It’s the ultimate wedding ballad.
The sweet tone, distinct from EXILE’s usual sound, is striking.
Wonderful TonightEric Clapton
A song released by Eric Clapton in 1977.
The sax cover by Kenny G is well-known, and while he keeps the memorable guitar phrase as the guitar part, I think it would still be beautiful even if it were replaced with a sax part.
HOWEVERGLAY
As one of Japan’s leading bands, GLAY released their 12th single on December 27, 1997.
It is known as the band’s first million-selling track.
The saxophone’s timbre is a perfect match for expressing its grand melody.
Love SongGReeeeN
Speaking of weddings, surprises have become commonplace.
However, it’s still not very common for the groom to plan a surprise.
That’s exactly why I’d like to introduce this song.
When you think of GReeeeN, you think of love songs, and this one has a sweet and slightly bittersweet feel—perfect for those who have been together since high school.
Just The Two Of UsGrover Washington Jr.
It’s a piece by Grover Washington Jr., who is also a saxophonist, and it’s a standard tune often played at jam sessions! In this video, it’s arranged in a New Orleans second-line style, so you can groove to it nice and easy, haha! The arrangement subtly changes depending on the performer, so why not look for the version that resonates with you?
