Under the same skyayaka
“Minna Sora no Shita” is a song Ayaka wrote for her friends.
She also performed it at the 62nd NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, so people of all ages are familiar with it.
With lyrics that say we’re all under the same sky no matter where we are, the song has a warm tone and gently reassures a newlywed couple starting a new chapter with a soft “It’s going to be okay.” If a friend who has overcome so much with you were to sing this song, it might give you the courage to say, “Let’s do our best,” no matter the moment.
Friend ShipHoshino Gen
A pop tune that delivers a heartwarming message with the theme of parting and reunion with loved ones.
Released in December 2015 as the theme song for the film “Moriyamachu Driving School,” this piece likens life’s journey to a voyage at sea, gently portraying the beauty of relationships that support each other in spirit even when apart.
While incorporating elements of dance music, it retains a faintly wistful atmosphere characteristic of Gen Hoshino.
It’s perfect for a friend’s speech where you look back on irreplaceable memories with a dear friend and express your hope to keep supporting each other in the days to come.
MiracleGReeeeN
GReeeeN’s song describes meeting a loved one as a “miracle” and the journey the two walk together as a “track of footprints.” Its lyrics, filled with a strong wish to always be together, perfectly resonate with couples embarking on a new chapter in life.
Released in May 2008, the song became a massive hit as the theme for the TBS drama “ROOKIES.” It achieved the fastest 1 million full ringtone downloads in history and was certified by Guinness World Records.
If you want to express your feelings to the bride and groom at a wedding but feel too shy to put them into words, why not let this song speak for you?
bouquetback number
This is back number’s second single, released in June 2011.
The lyrics, which vividly portray the bittersweet and heartrending emotions of love, leave a strong impression.
Lines like “I’ll apologize as many times as it takes, and I’ll never forget to say thank you” convey a powerful determination to overcome any hardship.
The song was selected as the ending theme for the TBS music program COUNT DOWN TV, and a short film produced based on the track and released on YouTube also drew attention.
It’s a perfect song to perform at a dear friend’s wedding as a heartfelt blessing to the bride and groom.
Why not share hope for their future with your warm voice?
GiftAI
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.
Wedding Bell ~What a Wonderful Life~Sandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu

It’s a track packed with messages only a friend who has walked a long road together with you could convey—always by your side when you’re troubled or unsure, gently giving a push or offering advice.
Sprinkled with beautiful words, it’s a celebration of life that lets you bask in irreplaceable memories.
There will surely be all kinds of things ahead in life, but sing it carefully with the hope that they will cherish and nurture their love.
