Jesu, Joy of Man’s DesiringJ.S.Bach

A serene and warmly glowing gem created by Baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach.

Composed in 1723 as a church cantata, this piece has long been cherished as a wedding classic, its rich lines and beautiful harmonies creating moments of pure bliss.

Its transparent melody gently envelops the hope and joy of couples embarking on a new chapter of life.

The piano arrangement by British pianist Myra Hess was published in 1926, after which it became performable in various instrumental settings and beloved by a wide audience.

It is perfect not only for solemn wedding ceremonies but also as background music for photo slideshows.

Amazing Graceamerika min’yō

A hymn inspired by salvation through God’s grace and filled with gratitude was composed in 1779 by a British clergyman.

Created by an author who transformed his life from a slave ship captain to a pastor, it conveys profound repentance.

With a simple yet moving melody, it has won love far beyond the realm of hymns.

It is performed in various styles, such as on bagpipes or a cappella, and in 2006 it was used as the theme song for a film depicting the author’s life.

It is popular at weddings and receptions as a fitting piece for solemn entrances and emotionally moving moments.

With its simple melody and deep spirituality, this work makes the important milestones of life all the more meaningful.

Have you gotten a fairly clear image of your wedding by now? Next is the song for when you re-enter the venue after your outfit change. Since it comes right after the profile movie finishes, it’s a great moment to showcase your unique personality as a couple. I’ll introduce mainly popular songs that have been featured in dramas and films, so be sure to choose while thinking about what feels most like “you two.”

This is the theme song of the blockbuster film “LIMIT OF LOVE: Umizaru,” which topped the box office in 2006.

It’s also very famous as a ballad.

The original version is great, but if you want more of a wedding vibe, the “Wedding Ver.” is recommended.

With gospel elements and church bells, it’s even more moving as a wedding song.

If you’re looking for entrance music after your outfit change, I recommend “Ai no Katachi,” a collaboration between MISIA and HIDE from GReeeeN.

Entrance songs are often bright and festive, but this one has a gentle, mellow sound.

Simply playing it can completely transform the atmosphere of the venue, helping keep your guests engaged.

It’s a very refreshing song that was chosen as the theme for the drama “We Can’t Become Beasts.” If you want to make a bright entrance without being too loud, it’s a great choice! It would also pair well if you’re doing a candle service on the way to the head table.

YOASOBI’s “Haruka” is a song based on Osamu Suzuki’s story “Tsuki Ōji” (Moon Prince).

It portrays the warm, years-long bond between a girl named Haruka and a mug.

The gentle melody perfectly matches the soothing image of Haruka cherishing the mug through each milestone in her life, comforting listeners as well.

With its calm and tender atmosphere, it’s also recommended as background music for a wedding outfit-change entrance.

As a song that conveys the bonds with someone important, it’s sure to resonate with many guests.

“Ordinary days” is included on milet’s seventh mini-album, released on August 4, 2021, and was chosen as the theme song for the NTV drama “Police in a Pod.” The song conveys a message that celebrates the precious moments we tend to overlook in everyday life and the beauty of ordinary days.

The intro features a strikingly resonant piano tone that creates a mystical atmosphere, making it a great fit for a re-entrance scene after a costume change.
