Friendship songs to sing at a wedding. Celebration songs for friends (31–40)
May it be filled with kindnessJUJU
This song is perfect for a wedding filled with the joy of celebrating the newlyweds as they embark on their new journey.
Centered around strings and piano, the sound builds toward a grand chorus that’s truly moving.
You can also sense, through JUJU’s vocals, the emotion of witnessing someone dear in their moment of happiness.
The lyrics express a wish for a loved one’s happiness, and they can be heard either from the perspective of the bride and groom or as a message of congratulations from a friend—another key point.
Amid its gentle atmosphere, the song also conveys strength, along with a heartfelt hope that a supportive relationship will continue.
allyGReeeeN
This is a heartwarming number by GReeeeN that gently speaks to the importance of friendship.
Carrying a powerful message about unconditional love and the value of being there for one another, it conveys gratitude toward those closest to us.
Accompanied by a tender, warm melody line, the lyrics, which depict everyday life shared with someone special who shares both joy and sorrow, resonate deeply.
Written as the theme song for the film “Haw,” released in August 2022, this work is fitting both as a song dedicated to a dear friend and as a piece for anyone wishing to deepen their bonds with someone.
Congratulations on your marriage! feat. MINMIBES
Isn’t this just the perfect song to gift a bride and groom at a wedding? It’s a collaboration between Osaka-born reggae singer BES and singer-songwriter MINMI, included on their third album “MY TREASURES,” released in 2011.
Packed full of celebratory vibes, this track simply makes you feel happy when you listen to it.
Since it’s a duet, we recommend singing it as a male–female pair at karaoke.
When you do, don’t forget to smile and pour your heart into it.
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
One of Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s signature songs from when he could still easily be called a young man.
The muscular Nagabuchi of today is great, but the slightly lanky, long-haired Nagabuchi had a certain melancholy and was cool in his own way.
Back in the Showa era, when there weren’t as many graduation songs as there are now, everyone sang this at their graduation ceremonies.
Of course, it was also a staple at weddings.
Maybe the reason we still want to hear it, even as a classic, is because of its timeless appeal.
It’s a song that suits any new beginning in life, and if you can play guitar, I’d love for you to perform it.
wedding songFujifaburikku
This is a wedding song included on the album “MUSIC,” which the remaining members completed from songs left behind by Masahiko Shimura, the former vocalist of Fujifabric.
There’s also a story that Shimura secretly wrote it for a staff member who was getting married, and you can feel the unadorned spirit of celebration.
The sound is simple, and the lyrics are composed of plain, unembellished words, so the straightforward feeling of blessing comes through, even if a bit clumsily.
It’s a warm song that teaches us there’s no need for roundabout words at a celebration—what matters are honest words infused with genuine emotion.

Be happy.CHIHIRO
This song is truly the perfect track to give to a friend at their wedding! Within its gentle, serene ballad that carries a sense of sanctity, it holds the wish to celebrate the couple’s new beginning and the desire to keep watching over them as a friend from here on.
It’s a song I’d love to see a woman dedicate to her best friend, the bride.
Memories the two of you share will come flooding back, and I’m sure you’ll both be moved to tears.
If you play a surprise memory video of the two of you and sing this song along with it, there’s no doubt it will be deeply moving!
Dear My FriendLittle Glee Monster feat. Pentatonix
They’re getting married and starting a new life, but that doesn’t mean everything will go perfectly.
Sometimes they’ll fight and feel down.
This is a gentle message song meant to make you think, “It’s okay—because that person is on my side.” It’s a collaboration between the girls’ vocal group Little Glee Monster and the a cappella group Pentatonix, released in 2020.
The smooth, pleasant choral work is truly wonderful.
