Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu

Let's Become a Family – Masaharu Fukuyama (Full)

A classic among classic wedding songs, also famous from the Zexy commercials! This is definitely a song I’d love to see used as a surprise performance from the groom to the bride.

If it’s sung like this, there’s no doubt their love will burn even brighter.

The venue will be buzzing with excitement.

Maru-Maru-Mori-Mori!Kaoru to Tomoki, tama ni Mukku.

Kaoru and Tomoki, with Mook sometimes. “Maru Maru Mori Mori! 2014” — choreography video featuring Kaoru and Tomoki.

It’s the theme song from the drama “Marumo no Okite,” and since it’s also used at kindergarten, daycare, and elementary school sports festivals, I think children will be thrilled.

It’s even better when danced by a large group, as it really livens up the venue.

It would also be great for the bride and groom to dance while channeling Mana Ashida and Fuku Suzuki.

Kana Nishino 'Torisetsu' MV (Short Ver.)

Highly recommended for a wedding entertainment video.

Because this song captures women’s true feelings so well, use it as a “Bride’s Instruction Manual” to introduce it to the newlyweds as they start their new life together.

That way, it’s sure to get the crowd excited.

Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~Matsu Takako

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)

It’s a famous song used in the movie Frozen.

There’s an English version, but in Japan it’s sung by Takako Matsu.

The song starts slowly, but the chorus is very uplifting.

Since it’s a tune everyone can hum along to, I think it would be great to display the lyrics on slides and have everyone sing together while dancing.

It’s perfect for house dance, so I think you can nail it with a cool vibe.
