A playlist of Japanese songs about love with a remarriage theme (1–10)
A future we create togetherKetsumeishi
Second marriages and those after that come with different values for each person, but when you decide “This is the one,” I think it’s truly wonderful if you meet someone with whom you can envision building a future together.
Surely there will be times when even greater happiness comes.
Something CertainOda Kazumasa
Resolving to love someone again with a heart that has once been hurt—this moving ballad captures that mature form of love, woven by Kazumasa Oda’s crystal-clear voice.
The sincere self-questioning—wondering whether one can truly protect the person with whom they’ll share the future—seems, if anything, to testify to the depth of that love.
Released as a single in May 2005, the song was created for a Meiji Yasuda Life corporate commercial.
Paired with publicly submitted photographs, it delivered a warm sense of emotion to everyone who saw it.
When you’re contemplating remarriage and feel a touch of anxiety about taking that next step, this song quietly—yet surely—whispers, “You’ll be okay,” and gives you a gentle push forward.
Another SaturdayHamada Shogo
This is a famous ballad by Shogo Hamada that portrays a deep, gentle love—one that embraces the entire shadow of sorrow carried by a loved one.
It moves the heart with the pure feelings and inner conflict of a man who falls for a woman with a child and keeps loving her single-mindedly, even while knowing she meets another man on weekends.
Released in May 1985 as the B-side to the single “LONELY – Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” the song later etched itself into many hearts as an insert song for the TV drama “Ai to Iu Na no Moto ni.” Depicting both the difficulty and the dignity of loving someone who has been hurt before, it gently encourages those hesitating to take a new step, such as remarriage.
Conveying a resolve to accept everything about the other person, this is a song you’ll want to listen to when you decide to walk into a new life with the one you love.
Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
Getting married means becoming a family, and crossing that barrier requires considerable resolve and energy.
After failing once, it may take a great deal of determination, but when you listen to Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Kazoku ni Narou yo” (“Let’s Become a Family”), it makes you feel that with love, courage, and conviction, you can surely overcome that barrier.
BirthNakajima Miyuki
This is a song by Miyuki Nakajima that gently encourages those who have decided to restart their lives and step into a future with a new partner.
Even if you have the strength to live on your own, it carries a warm message that life becomes richer when you walk together with someone.
The song was released in March 1992 as the theme for the film “Kiseki no Yama: Sayonara, Meiken Heiji,” and is also included on the album “EAST ASIA.” Its sweeping melody tenderly seeps into hearts hesitant to take a step forward due to past experiences, as if blessing a new love.
Doesn’t it feel like a future where you can affirm each other’s very existence is unfolding right before your eyes?
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
A bouquet of flowers is indispensable for celebrations, isn’t it? A fresh start doesn’t always mean a perfectly smooth beginning, but seeing a bouquet might offer a hint to help you overcome something.
Flowers given with heartfelt care always celebrate courage and hope.
Shape of LoveMISIA
A priceless love story powerfully sung by MISIA.
It’s moving to witness a heart that once grew timid find “you,” someone who fits perfectly like a puzzle piece, and feel itself become whole.
The song strikingly conveys a strong resolve to build a unique form of love together—crying and laughing side by side, embracing each other’s individuality and flaws just as they are.
Created in collaboration with GReeeeN and released in August 2018, this piece served as the theme song for the drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues.” When you need courage to take a new step—such as remarriage—her warm, powerful vocals will reassure you that your decision is not a mistake and gently give you a push forward.
