Motherkariyushi 58
An Okinawa-born rock band, Kariyushi 58, released “Anma” in 2006.
“Anma” means “mother” in the Okinawan dialect.
It’s said that the vocalist, Mr.
Maeda, wrote the song like a letter to his mother.
No matter the era, we’re reminded of how great mothers are, aren’t we? That feeling grows even stronger as we become adults.
You might feel shy expressing those feelings to your mom in everyday life, but at your wedding, when you give your speech to your parents, be sure to share your gratitude! And for the background music at that moment, we highly recommend choosing “Anma.”
dandelionYūsuke
This is the second single released under the name Yusuke (Yusuke Kamiji), who is also active as an actor.
The song is themed around the dandelion’s flower language, “sincere love,” and it conveys a warm feeling of quietly savoring happiness throughout.
The light reggae rhythm and relaxed vocals layered over it convey a mindset of cherishing everyday life and the happiness found within it.
Depicting a clumsy man pledging his love in his own way, it would be perfect for the moment when the groom reads a letter to the bride.

Created to celebrate a friend’s wedding, this classic has continued to color many life milestones since its release in 2004.
Its lyrics, which weave together bonds with loved ones and feelings of gratitude, gently embrace thanks for the time walked together and blessings for the future to come, paralleling the changing seasons.
The song was also tied in as the CM song for AOKI Holdings and featured as an insert song in the drama “1 Litre of Tears,” earning love across generations.
Perfect for moving moments like the entrance scene or the bride’s letter, it’s a song that lets everyone at the venue share warm memories.

This is a wedding song included on the album “MUSIC,” which the remaining members completed from songs left behind by Masahiko Shimura, the former vocalist of Fujifabric.
There’s also a story that Shimura secretly wrote it for a staff member who was getting married, and you can feel the unadorned spirit of celebration.
The sound is simple, and the lyrics are composed of plain, unembellished words, so the straightforward feeling of blessing comes through, even if a bit clumsily.
