Toast & Cake Cutting (11–20)
RUN FUN RUNmiwa
If you’re looking for moving wedding songs by a female vocalist, you should definitely check out miwa’s tracks! miwa’s “RUN FUN RUN” is emotional right from the intro, and the chorus is super catchy.
That’s why it’s perfect for moments like the toast at the reception or the cake-cutting.
It’s a song that lets you picture the two of you happily running forward together in the life you’re about to share.
Hear ~Proof That We Could Believe in Each Other~Kanna Tomoyo
It’s a grand, slow ballad that served as the theme song for the film “Erased.” Not only the lyrics, but also the sparkling electronic production and the string melodies make it perfect for weddings.
Chise Kanna’s embracing vocals—praised by music producer Kenji Tamai—are wonderful, too.
If you use it for the cake-cutting scene, it will wrap the moment in a moving atmosphere.
CongratulationsYamazaki Ikusaburo
This is a wedding song he released in 2017, and he’s now immensely popular in the musical theater world.
Its bright, refreshing sound brimming with happiness is perfect for the toast or the cake-cutting moment.
I can just picture the scene turning into a round of applause with shouts of “Congratulations!!” the moment this song starts playing at such an important moment.
On top of that, his soaring vocals really hit home, as if they’re cheering on the bride and groom’s happy future.
Crazy about youEXILE
For the toast, a song with a lively, festive vibe is definitely best! I think EXILE’s cool, upbeat track “Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu” fits that feeling perfectly.
It’s so catchy you’ll find yourself keeping the beat and wanting to dance, and the music video features various scenes of people making toasts.
It’s an easy song to picture everyone raising their glasses to, matching the bright atmosphere of a wedding.
Be sure to give it a listen together!
Leaving midway (11–20)
Songs with an easy walking tempo are recommended for an intermission.
Next, I’ll introduce songs to play during the brief exit. The brief exit is when the bride and groom leave the venue once for a costume change, and so on. During this time, they often make a slow circuit around the room, and many couples leave with their parents or siblings. For that reason, I recommend choosing songs with an easy walking tempo.
Leaving in the middle (1–10)
Spring Dayaimyon
If you’re looking for a song to play during the interlude when the bride and groom leave to change outfits, how about Aimyon’s “Harunohi”? As the title suggests, it’s perfect for a celebratory day, and it was also used as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane – The Lost Hiroshi.
It will undoubtedly create a warm atmosphere that gently spreads through everyone’s hearts!
Marigoldaimyon
It’s Aimyon’s “Marigold,” which has a cute and very gentle vibe.
If you use it for the leaving-the-room scene, it feels like it preserves the lingering emotions so far while also building anticipation for your reentry after the outfit change.
Since it’s a love song, it’s a great recommendation for when the two of you exit together!
Last VirginRADWIMPS
Noda Yojiro’s gentle voice really touches my heart.
If a song like this played during the outfit-change recess at a wedding, I feel like tears would blur the doorway.
As you walk arm in arm and listen to these lyrics, wouldn’t you be reminded anew of the happiness of walking together with the one you love? This RADWIMPS track is a moving classic that stays close to a young couple.
