Western wedding songs recommended for people in their 20s: moving classics and popular hits.

SUNHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino – SUN (Official Video)

It’s an up-tempo, rhythmic song.

Because it’s upbeat, I think guests will find it easy to clap along.

SUN, which became one of Gen Hoshino’s signature songs, was originally written with his close friend, Banana Man’s Himura, in mind.

It’s the theme song for the drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne” (Crazy For Me).

It’s a bit of a hassle, but this song captures the feelings of a cute woman in its lyrics.

Since marriage means being together for life, this song is perfect for people who need an instruction manual.

It’s a pop tune, so I think it’s also suitable for weddings.

The lyrics even include tips for making a relationship last, so I recommend it.

Ariana Grande – Lovin’ It (Traducida al español)

What we want you to watch out for when choosing popular Western artists’ songs as BGM for your wedding or reception is the lyrics! It would be sad if it turned out to be a breakup song, even if it’s a famous, familiar tune.

For Ariana Grande fans, we recommend this one.

It’s a love song perfect for spring weddings and receptions.
