Even if we get married somedayMy Hair is Bad

My Hair is Bad – Even If We Get Married Someday

Even if we get married somedayMy Hair is Bad

It’s the ultimate happiness song to send to each other.

Its slightly retro, Showa-style sound and lyrics might, on the contrary, strike deep in the hearts of a young couple.

In an era when people might even propose by email or Line, sending the words you can’t quite say out loud through a song like this would be wonderful.

It will surely become an unforgettable, lifelong memory of a song.

Happy Tears //Che’Nelle//vitaminD//vietsub

tears of joyShenelu

A highly recommended song for brides who want to dedicate a song to the groom at the reception or the after-party: “Ureshi Namida” (Tears of Joy).

It’s a song that conveys your gratitude—how you’ve been helped so many times, and how you’ve made it this far because he was there for you.

Precisely because you’re so close, words of thanks often go unsaid.

But a wedding happens only once in a lifetime—it’s the memorable start of your journey together.

This is your chance to say “thank you” with all your heart.

The lyrics are so moving they’ll bring tears to your eyes—and likely to both of you.

Sonoko Inoue – The Most in the World

If the bride were to gift such a cute and tender love song, the groom wouldn’t be able to stop the tears.

These days, grooms aren’t shy about crying openly at the reception either (lol).

There’s no doubt it would become a song they’ll never forget.

The conversation between the man and woman that comes in mid-song overlaps with the two of them overflowing with happiness, making it incredibly moving.

It’s a highly recommended track that will be etched as a memorable page in their story!

DAIGO「K S K」MV（Web Size Version）

K S KDAIGO

This song is sure to set off a whirlwind of laughter and emotion in the venue! Even the title tells you just how happy it is.

If the groom dedicates this song, the bride won’t be able to stop her tears of joy while laughing.

That’s probably because DAIGO, who sings it, wrote it when he was feeling incredibly happy (lol).

A groom who picks this song is wonderful.

Highly recommended.
