Recommended anime songs for weddings and receptions: moving masterpieces and popular hits

OLA!!yuzu

Yuzu: "OLA!!"

It’s the theme song for the animated film “Crayon Shin-chan: My Moving Story! Cactus Large Attack.” It’s also said to be the first track recorded in Yujin Kitagawa’s private studio.

It doesn’t really feel like a typical anime theme song—it’s bright, yet somewhat bittersweet, with that distinctive “Yuzu” touch.

I think it would be great for a wedding reception, too.

CLEARMaaya Sakamoto

Maaya Sakamoto “CLEAR” MV Short ver.

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card.

It’s a track with a catchy, refreshing melody, and the part where the chorus ends with repeated “Going on” gives off a vibe similar to the artist Ikimono-gakari.

The clear vocal tone and the chorus melody are so beautiful that it’s no exaggeration to say they’re flawless.

FLY HIGH!!BURNOUT SYNDROMES

BURNOUT SYNDROMES “FLY HIGH!!” Music Video TV anime Haikyu!! Second Season Cour 2 Opening Theme

It was selected as the opening theme for Cour 2 of Haikyu!! Second Season and also chosen as the song for their major-label debut.

The way it jumps straight into the lyrics without an intro gives a full-throttle feel from the start, matching the anime’s image.

Just like the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes the feeling of taking flight, so it’s one I’d love to hear sung boldly by a male vocalist.

Recipe for HappinessHirai Dai

Recipe for Happiness

This song features a warm vocal delivery that tenderly accompanies the bond between two lovers.

Chosen as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” it’s a gem of a love song where Dai Hirai’s signature gentle atmosphere and smooth melodic lines blend beautifully.

It’s attracting attention not only from Dai Hirai’s fans but also from anime fans as a track that further enriches the show’s world.

With lyrics that highlight the importance of connection and compassion, it’s perfect for moments like the first dance or the cake-cutting at a wedding.

Wedding MarchASOBI Alliance

[MV] TV Anime “Mission: Yozakura Family” ED Wedding March / ASOBI Alliance Rimii Tokumix

A song released by ASOBI Alliance in August 2024 that sings about the hardships and joys of walking through life as two.

With a heartwarming melody that voices the resolve to keep moving forward together—through sickness and in health—supporting one another, it’s sure to make every wedding guest nod along.

The gentle yet powerful duet by Tokumix and Rimy beautifully expresses the joy of living with someone you love.

The song was also featured as the ending theme for the second cour of the MBS/TBS TV anime Mission: Yozakura Family, sparking major buzz.

It’s a perfect choice for moments that celebrate your love, such as the first dance at your wedding or your re-entrance after a costume change.

I am the strongest.Ado

[Ado] I’m the Strongest (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

A smash-hit song by Ado that captures Uta’s strength and inner turmoil from the film ONE PIECE FILM RED.

Its hope-filled lyrics powerfully portray encouragement and love for others, as well as a resolute commitment to the future.

Composed by Motoki Omori of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, the track was released digitally in June 2022 and quickly earned broad support as a masterpiece that enhances the film’s world.

Beautifully expressing the strength to believe in oneself and the feelings for someone precious, this work will make special milestone moments in life even more memorable.

Find love, and romance continues.HoneyWorks feat.Kotoha

Encountering Love, Romance Continues / HoneyWorks feat. Kotoha

A song wrapped in warm vocals and melody that celebrates the start of a marriage.

The wedding song woven by HoneyWorks and Kotoha beautifully portrays the bride and groom pledging eternal love, as if you were witnessing the scene right before your eyes.

The expressive depiction of the bride in her white dress and the moment the couple exchange their vows is particularly striking.

Released in April 2016, this piece is recommended as background music to grace important moments such as the wedding entrance or reading letters to parents.
