Chanel covered the song that TEE released in 2010 and that became explosively popular, turning it into a wedding classic.

It’s a passionate message from a man to a woman, saying, “I will keep on loving you forever.” In recent years, it’s often been performed by school wind bands at graduation ceremonies and concerts.

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

A signature song by Spitz, one of Japan’s most iconic bands.

It’s a track almost everyone has heard at least once, and among Spitz’s catalog it’s especially popular—a refreshing, gentle melody that appeals to all.

The saxophone’s timbre blends freshness with a sense of emotion.

LA LA LA LOVE SONGKubota Toshinobu

Sheet-Music-Synced Model Performance: “LA・LA・LA LOVE SONG” by Toshinobu Kubota / The Sax Greatest Hits / ALSO Publishing, Shimamura Gakki Kawasaki LeFRONT Store – Saxophone Instructor Takahiro Yoshida

This is a song released in 1996 that was chosen as the theme song for the drama Long Vacation starring Takuya Kimura.

While the groove is funky, the melody line is very mellow and warm, making it a supreme love song that conveys love straightforwardly—great either in a band style or as a sax ensemble.

It departs from the original, but slowing the tempo down and performing it as a solo sax piece would also convey the feeling deeply.

Oriental WindHisaishi Joe

Oriental Wind ~ Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

It’s a masterpiece by Joe Hisaishi.

I think it’s also perfect for performances at traditional Japanese-style weddings.

I often hear the piano and violin melodies, but performances on saxophone (tenor, alto, baritone) are also captivating.

It gives the impression of being immersed in the world of Ghibli.

Love is…Kato Miria

Love is … Piano Miliyah Kato Anime 'Toward the Terra' April Ending Theme

This is a wedding song sung by Miliyah Kato.

It has been performed for nearly ten years.

When I was in my early twenties, I told everyone, “I’m definitely going to sing ‘Love is…’ at my wedding!” Even though there’s darkness and sadness, everyone has the right to be happy.

It’s a song that portrays deep love from a different perspective.

Lupin the Third Main ThemeŌno Yūji

"Lupin the Third Theme / Theme From Lupin III '78" Jazz Sax Ensemble "HIBI★Chazz-K"

For Japanese people, the most iconic jazz-like songs would be from the Lupin the Third series.

It’s famous across generations and virtually everyone knows it, so the moment you start playing, it can capture everyone’s hearts.

It can be performed as a saxophone quartet or with a band, so you can consider various ensembles to suit your members.
