[Wedding] Female friendship songs: Must-hear classics for your female guests!

Gift

AI’s 2020 release “Gift” is a song I truly hope you’ll give to someone dear to you.

The warm message—“No matter where you are, I’m wishing you happiness”—resonates throughout the track and is deeply moving.

Some people marry and leave their hometowns.

At such times, while marriage is joyful, it can also feel lonely, and it’s natural to worry about how things will go.

Gifting this song then can help them feel connected despite the distance, making it a wonderfully thoughtful way to celebrate.

HappinessChe’Nelle

Che’Nelle – Happiness ft. Nao Matsushita

Che’Nelle is a singer who shines with her beautiful, powerful vocals, and her signature song “Happiness” is widely used at weddings and beloved as a love song.

But when you look at the lyrics, that passionate, profound affection can also be interpreted as celebrating the bond between best friends, right? We may not know Che’Nelle’s true intention as the lyricist, but being able to have our own personal interpretation like this is one of the wonderful charms of music.

It’s a lovely song you’d want to send to a friend who’s feeling down.
