Recommended wedding songs for people in their 30s: moving classics and popular picks

Happiness ft. Nao MatsushitaShenelu

Che’Nelle – Happiness ft. Nao Matsushita

This is “Happiness ft.

Nao Matsushita” by Che’Nelle, a singer from Australia.

It’s a love ballad that sings of a woman’s enveloping kindness and depth.

When a relationship turns from infatuation to true love, perhaps women begin to see men from a completely different perspective.

This song lets you feel the greatness of women and the profoundness of their love.

Shape of LoveMISIA feat.HIDE(GReeeeN)

MISIA – Shape of Love feat. HIDE (GReeeeN) (Official Music Video)

MISIA’s “Ai no Katachi,” released in 2018.

Because it was the theme song for the hugely popular drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues,” many people probably have a strong association with that image.

It’s a song that feels as though the feelings of caring for someone—an abundance of deep, heartfelt love packed tightly—were turned directly into music.

It’s a love song, and also a song about “love” in a broader sense.

Ikimonogakari 'Arigatou' Music Video

A heartwarming classic that portrays the beauty of expressing gratitude directly to someone you cherish.

It tenderly weaves in the gentleness conveyed by holding hands and the bonds that deepen through everyday life together.

The way an individual dream gradually becomes a dream for two, and the sincere exchange of feelings—awkward yet earnest—makes it a perfect fit for a wedding.

Released in May 2010 as Ikimono-gakari’s 18th single, it was written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama Gegege no Nyobo.

Loved widely alongside the drama’s massive success, it won the Excellence Award at the 52nd Japan Record Awards.

It’s often chosen as background music for entrance scenes at wedding receptions or when reading letters to parents, wrapping the entire venue in a warm atmosphere.

[MV] Caramel Peppers “Wedding SONG” Caramel Peppers

This is “Wedding SONG,” a wedding track by Caramel Peppers, a three-member music unit with all members living in Yokohama and Yokosuka.

Even feelings that make you a little embarrassed might be easier to express honestly when carried on a hip-hop beat with cool sensibilities.

It’s a classic you’d want to give from a man to a woman on the occasion of marriage.
