A collection of iconic female friendship songs: must-hear tracks for women guests at weddings

When attending a friend’s wedding, it’s quite common to be asked to put on some kind of performance, isn’t it?

In addition to performances like dancing or singing, female guests on the bride’s side often read a letter as a gift.

And for any performance like that, BGM is essential.

If possible, you’d want to play a friendship song that reflects your relationship with the bride.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs that portray women’s friendships and are perfect for weddings.

We hope this will be helpful not only for female guests planning a performance, but also for brides looking for a song to play when they leave the room with their friends during the reception.

Circle of Thanksayaka

Circle of Thanksayaka

As the title “Arigatou no Wa” (“Circle of Thanks”) suggests, this song is about gratitude.

It’s sung by the singer-songwriter Ayaka, and here too you can enjoy one of her charms—her rich, resonant voice.

The first verse expresses gratitude to her mother, but what I especially want you, the reader, to see is the second verse.

It conveys thanks to a friend who empathizes with her confessed troubles and even cries with her.

I feel this is a story that’s very characteristic of women’s friendships, and perhaps you’ve experienced something similar yourself.

It’s a wonderful song that conveys appreciation to the people around you, and it’s a classic choice for weddings.

A song released in 2010.

The passionate lyrics by Ketsumeishi express feelings for one’s friends, making it a popular choice often sung together by the groom’s friends.

You can almost picture the scene of the groom stepping down from the dais to link shoulders and join the chorus.

Friend’s PoemNakamura Ataru

Friendship between men and women is difficult, and this is a deeply moving song that, once you start thinking about it deeply, you just can’t stop.

If love is only going to cool and disappear someday, I can understand wanting to stay just friends.

I resonate with those complicated feelings—like hoping that a friendship between a man and a woman can last—and I want to sing about that beautiful charm.

If you have a close friend who’s about to get married, why not send them off with this song?

We’ll always be together.Yamashita Tatsuro

When we think of weddings, we think of a new beginning for two people—a day when they vow to walk through life together.

This song by Tatsuro Yamashita feels like a blessing for their departure on that journey.

Built around a gentle, piano-centered sound that gradually brings in more instruments, it gives the sense of emotions growing fuller and brighter.

The lyrics, like a vow, are memorable too—expressing the reassurance of having found a partner and the hope that happiness will continue.

While it’s a song that reflects the feelings of the bride and groom, it might also be wonderful to gift it to them so they can feel that happiness even more.

This song, which feels as if it’s addressed to a friend far away, seems perfect for a wedding—an occasion where friends who’ve been apart sometimes gather.

While its content reads like a letter to a distant friend you can’t easily meet, it expresses an unchanging friendship despite the distance, so it should resonate just as well face-to-face.

Another key point is the encouraging message to keep living boldly on our respective paths.

It’s a gentle song that calls on us to cherish what remains unchanged, even as we pass milestones and our circumstances evolve.
