Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Among all the elements of a wedding—an event that becomes a once-in-a-lifetime memory—the cake-cutting ceremony is arguably one of the most significant moments for the bride and groom.

Because it symbolizes their first act of working together as a married couple, it’s a moment where you’ll want to put extra thought into the presentation.

In this article, we’ve researched and compiled the perfect BGM for the wedding cake-cutting scene, drawing broadly from both Western and Japanese music across different eras.

From popular hits of the Reiwa era to beloved classics from the Showa period, enjoy a selection of timeless songs to make your cake-cutting moment truly unforgettable!

The Japanese title is “Kimi no Hitomi ni Koi Shiteru,” and it’s one of the many covers of the single released by Frankie Valli of The Four Seasons.

Arranged with a somewhat danceable, fun vibe and paired with a clear, soaring vocal, it results in a track that feels even more pop than the original.
