Leaving in the middle (1–10)
Just, thank you.MONKEY MAJIK
A popular song for the send-off/intermission walk is “Tada, Arigatou” (“Just, Thank You”).
Sometimes the bride and groom leave together, but in most cases they choose an escort—parents, siblings, or close friends to whom they want to express their gratitude.
In those moments, this song is perfect because it feels natural no matter whom you’re walking with.
It carries feelings like “Thank you for being by my side” and “I’m happy I met you,” making it an ideal choice when walking with someone special.
Listening to this song, the person walking alongside the couple will surely feel that special sentiment too!
SONG 4 UGReeeeN
GReeeeN’s “SONG 4 U” is a track that sings about feelings for friends and companions who have shared both joys and hardships.
It’s included on their 2022 album Rockin’ Beats, and the lyrics are said to be written by GReeeeN for themselves.
You are who you are today thanks to the many friends and colleagues—old classmates, coworkers, and more—who have supported you.
A wedding is the perfect opportunity to express those feelings to them.
It’s an ideal song for the background music of a profile video or a memories montage with your friends played after the bride and groom leave the room, so be sure to give it a listen!
To MomAI
AI’s “To Mom” is filled with gratitude for the great mother who raised her.
Released in 2013 as a digital-only single, it was written specifically as the commercial song for Lotte’s “Ghana Milk Chocolate.” It’s an R&B-flavored ballad that begins with a beautiful piano phrase, expressing a grown-up’s straightforward words of thanks to their mother.
If the bride and groom are leaving the room accompanied by their mothers, how about using it as the background music?
Nobody’s HomeONE OK ROCK
This is a song meant to be sung for your parents and family.
I’m sure there were many times you caused your parents trouble or made them worry.
At times like that, how about choosing this song? If you exit during the intermission with your mother or siblings, your feelings of gratitude will surely come across.
It’s also recommended if you’re a music lover.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
It’s a song that even children can sing, and it was used in a Doraemon movie.
The lyrics are about a promise to stay together forever, so I think it’s a song that resonates with any guest.
The idea of thinking about what you can do for the other person, rather than for yourself, makes the lyrics perfect for a wedding.
orionYonezu Kenshi
It’s Kenshi Yonezu’s “orion.” While it doesn’t have a bright atmosphere, during moments like the couple’s exit—when the bride and groom leave the venue as the guests see them off—you’ll want to walk slowly so everyone can take in your beautiful appearance.
This song, with its slow tempo and sense of grandeur, is a perfect fit.
I love youNishino Kana
This is a popular song by Kana Nishino for weddings.
It’s a track that makes you feel love all over again, thinking, “I’m so glad it’s this person.” For a special wedding where the two of you vow your love, it’s nice to choose a song filled with words you might be too shy to say normally.
With its relaxed tempo, it’s also recommended for when you leave the room during the reception.
