Must-know classic songs!
For many of you in your twenties, weddings are probably starting to feel more real. Here, I’d like to introduce some classic wedding songs that everyone uses. If you’re ever stuck choosing music, these are foolproof picks. Be sure to check them out!
Familiasumika
If you’re looking for an upbeat, feel-good entrance song, sumika’s “Familia” is a top pick! It’s a wedding song themed around family, and even the intro features vocal phrases that evoke wedding bells.
Just hearing the first line sets a wedding mood, making it perfect for the bride and groom’s entrance.
Dear BrideNishino Kana
Perfect for those who want to make their entrance with a feminine ballad! This song truly conveys the special atmosphere of a wedding.
While ballads are often used from the second verse, with this one, I’d love to play it from the very beginning, using the gentle melody to walk slowly up to the head table.
lovin’Mrs. GREEN APPLE
One standout track with a refreshing, upbeat sound is “lovin’.” It’s included on Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s 2019 album Attitude and was chosen as the theme song for Mezamashi Doyoubi.
The song sings of a life lived alone and the love nurtured with a precious person met along the way.
Its worldview makes it perfect for weddings, and I think it’s an ideal choice for two people embarking on a new life together.
A future we create togetherKetsumeishi
From the title alone, Ketsumeishi’s “Kimi to Tsukuru Mirai” is perfect for two people standing at the start of a new chapter in life.
It’s an ideal number for a scene celebrating a couple’s happiness as they marry and nurture their future together.
The song, which expresses gratitude for having met and the excitement and anticipation of moving forward into the future together, matches wonderfully when used for the wedding entrance.
Its positive lyrics, like a declaration of the couple’s intent, also seem to convey their feelings of thanks to the guests who have come to celebrate.
Use this wedding staple to make your ceremony even more exciting.
EverydayPerfume
This one probably makes it easy to imagine a “let’s make our entrance here!” moment, doesn’t it? It might be nice to start the song from the beginning and have the doors open right when it gets exciting.
Since the song has many repeating sections, you can keep the festive atmosphere even after the entrance and proceed to the head table.
HeroAmuro Namie
This is a song that was also used as the broadcast theme for NHK’s Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Rio de Janeiro Paralympics.
The moment the music starts, the sense of anticipation builds.
It’s great to make a graceful entrance using the slow-tempo section, and it’s also wonderful to make a dazzling entrance with the chorus after the tempo picks up!
ButterflyKimura Kaera
Kaela Kimura, who began her career as an artist in 2004, wrote the song “Butterfly” for her best friend’s wedding.
It was also used as the commercial song for Recruit’s wedding preparation magazine Zexy.
The commercial drew attention, and the song has since become a beloved staple at real weddings.
Kimura’s clear, translucent voice and the warm, gentle melody make it a perfect choice for a wedding entrance.
As an unfading classic, it will continue to accompany happy moments now and in the future.
