Leaving midway (11–20)
Andante cantabilePyotr Tchaikovsky
A masterpiece for string quartet that gracefully weaves in folk melodies.
Composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky in 1871 during his tenure as a teacher at the Moscow Conservatory, this work captivates with its lyrical melodies that resonate deeply with listeners.
The flowing sonorities of the strings gently envelop a romantic atmosphere.
Featured in the films The Pianist and Anastasia, its universal appeal continues to be loved around the world.
It has been arranged for various ensembles and can be enjoyed in diverse performances, including cello and orchestra or solo piano.
As wedding or reception background music, its calm melodies and warm expressiveness will elegantly adorn your special day.
Profile and other video BGM (11–20)
Dramatically showcase their journey so far!
While the bride and groom are changing outfits, it’s common to play a profile video so guests don’t get bored. From here, I’d like to introduce songs that are sure to move your audience when used in such videos. Since the footage should be the star, I’ll focus on slow ballads with beautiful lyrics that won’t distract from the visuals.
Profile and other video BGM (1–10)
blinkback number
Back Number may give the impression of being a very melancholy band, and while this song is indeed on the minor side, it powerfully conveys that an ordinary life is the greatest miracle.
It’s a deeply moving track.
The simple fact that a birthday comes around normally after a year is such a happiness and a miracle, isn’t it? Please consider using it for your special video celebrating the two of you as you head into a happy ceremony with nothing amiss.
One Lovearashi
Among Arashi fans, this is surely a go-to wedding classic, and many people use it as background music.
You could even say it’s the most straightforward song about “marriage,” so it’s easy to use in any scene.
It’s also highly recommended for profile videos!
The day we stopped being loversYuuri
Yuri’s “The Day We Were No Longer Lovers” is a title that reflects the couple’s relationship in two senses.
Released in 2023 as her 18th single, it reached No.
6 on the Billboard charts.
The lyrics tell the story of a couple who break up once, meet again, and ultimately tie the knot.
I’m sure the two of you, who are about to get married, also faced various trials while dating.
Some couples may have even gone through a breakup.
This song is a perfect fit for such a couple’s profile movie, so be sure to use it as your BGM!
Family SongHoshino Gen
This is Gen Hoshino’s 10th single.
It’s a song that makes you think, “Life has its ups and downs, but the small happiness right in front of you is the best after all.” It’s a classic I recommend for expressing gratitude to your family or as background music for a profile video.
Listen to this song together, shed some tears, and make it a wonderful wedding.
WeddingOnda Masanori
The song “Wedding,” which has been exploding in popularity on social media, is performed by Masanori Onda, an artist based in Kyoto.
He wrote the piece for his real older sister, who was getting married, and the lyrics—expressing the resolve before marriage—are especially striking.
The music video released on YouTube in 2022 garnered over 6 million views in five months.
Just like the album mentioned in the lyrics, it’s a perfect number for a profile video that compiles photos from the couple’s first meeting onward.
rainbowSuda Masaki
Mr.
Suda is not only an actor but also actively works as a singer, and he has released many popular songs to date.
This song was released in November 2020 and was chosen as the theme song for the film “STAND BY ME Doraemon 2.” It’s a warm and gentle love song with the theme of staying close to everyday life and expressing gratitude to those close to you, perfectly matching a happy atmosphere.
Its tone is ideal for celebrating a couple’s new beginning at a wedding, and since it’s a ballad with a calm, tender feel throughout, it’s perfect as BGM for profile or message videos.
