IvyNovelbright
A warm-hearted wedding ballad by Novelbright that overflows with the joy of celebrating a friend’s marriage.
In October 2024, it was performed at the wedding of talents Shimon Okura and Miyu Ikeda, drawing widespread attention.
Written by vocalist Yudai Takenaka specifically for the couple, the song gently sings of the happiness found in everyday life with the one you love, carried by a tender melody.
Its lyrics delicately portray a bond that deepens with each exchange of simple, everyday words—making it a perfect message from friends to the bride and groom: “Cherish the time you’ll walk together from here on.”
Love SongSUPER BEAVER
An emotional mood is nice, but if you want to celebrate brightly, I recommend SUPER BEAVER’s “Love Song.” It’s a track from their 2018 album Eve of Cheers, overflowing with a happy vibe and truly wonderful lyrics.
The straightforward message and heartfelt warmth that are so characteristic of SUPER BEAVER really resonate.
A friend’s smile can make you feel energized too, right? It brings out lots of gratitude you don’t usually say, so why not pour those passionate feelings into this song? Your friend’s big, joy-filled day will be even more heartwarming and wrapped in smiles.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
Superfly is a musical unit that now operates as the solo project of vocalist Shiho Ochi.
Their 4th single, “Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo” (“A Bouquet with All My Love”), was used as the theme song for the TV drama Edison no Haha, and is widely known as one of their signature tracks that spotlights their trademark, overwhelming vocal power.
With its theme of a woman giving a bouquet, it has become a wedding standard, making it a perfect choice to sing as a representative of the bride’s friends.
It’s an emotional number that adds a touch of splendor to any wedding.
Promise in Madder Redikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari’s “Akane-iro no Yakusoku” is a mid-tempo number that member Yoshiki Mizuno wrote for his brother’s wedding.
Everyone has their own pace, and walking together takes a bit of effort.
And sometimes it’s okay to lean on each other.
You can rely on someone precisely because you trust them.
This song, which sings of days spent together and the final moments you’ll one day share, would make a heartfelt gift for the bride and groom.

FriendKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi’s “Tomodachi” is a song about parting with a friend.
Whether it’s a childhood pal or a classmate you spent almost every day with, someday you each go your own way.
Its beautiful melody and powerful lyrics speak to you, saying, “Even if you’re far away, I’m always cheering you on,” and “When we meet again, let’s talk with the same feelings.” Even after getting married and starting a new life, it’s wonderful to look back and find a friendship that hasn’t changed.
budKobukuro
A Kobukuro song that portrays themes of familial love, loss, and rebirth.
Acoustic guitars and strings are used effectively, and the performance is rich with emotion.
Released in March 2007 and used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad,” the track won the 49th Japan Record Awards and has become one of Kobukuro’s signature songs.
It’s a perfect choice to dedicate to friends at a wedding, as it offers courage to pursue dreams and celebrates the bonds with loved ones.
Sing it with heartfelt wishes for the bride and groom and a message that they can continue to rely on you, just as always.
