[J-Pop] Bright, upbeat songs recommended for weddings (61–70)
I’ll make you happy.momochi hiroko
A popular wedding song for the recessional or end credits, “Kimi wo Shiawase ni Suru kara ne.” It’s a moving number sung by Momochi Hiroko that I recommend for women who prefer cute songs over mellow ones.
The lyrics are filled with essential wedding sentiments: the moment of a proposal from a lover, warm messages to parents, and the couple’s determination to build happiness together.
Using this song will let you exit on a bright note, and your guests will likely feel, “What a wonderful ceremony it was.”
CelebrationUkasukaji
A heartwarming wedding song by Ukasuka-G, perfect for creating a memorable ceremony.
Its lyrics celebrate the happiness of the couple and even depict God’s smile, warmly embracing not only the bride and groom but also every guest.
Featured on the July 2016 album “T-Shirts and Us,” the song sings of life’s wonder—halving sorrow and doubling joy.
The exquisite harmonies of Kazutoshi Sakurai and GAKU-MC weave a celebratory melody that will add sparkle to any wedding scene.
For that special day marking the start of a new life together, consider choosing this song.
Encounters are seeds of growthKetsumeishi
Ketsumeishi’s “Deai wa Seichō no Tane” is the perfect song for reflecting on the groom’s journey and expressing gratitude.
Its warm melody and Ketsumeishi’s heartfelt lyrics are ideal for conveying thanks to the family and friends who have supported the groom, as well as to the bride.
The moment it plays at the reception, the venue will be enveloped in a heartwarming atmosphere.
As proof that each relationship helped the groom grow, the memories will be firmly etched in everyone’s minds.
the best in the worldInoue Sonoko
If the bride were to gift such a cute and tender love song, the groom wouldn’t be able to stop the tears.
These days, grooms aren’t shy about crying openly at the reception either (lol).
There’s no doubt it would become a song they’ll never forget.
The conversation between the man and woman that comes in mid-song overlaps with the two of them overflowing with happiness, making it incredibly moving.
It’s a highly recommended track that will be etched as a memorable page in their story!
evergreenŌhashi Chippoke
Singer-songwriter Chippoke Ohashi gained attention after winning the audition segment of the music variety show “Wednesday Night Entertainment Battle: Enta X.” The track “Evergreen,” which opens his fifth album “you,” resonates with a heartfelt message overflowing with love for his partner.
Because the arrangement demands tight playing overall, including sections featuring only acoustic guitar, make sure to lock in well during band practice.
With its refreshing melody that brightens new beginnings, it’s a perfect number for a wedding performance.
CongratulationsYamazaki Ikusaburo
This is a wedding song he released in 2017, and he’s now immensely popular in the musical theater world.
Its bright, refreshing sound brimming with happiness is perfect for the toast or the cake-cutting moment.
I can just picture the scene turning into a round of applause with shouts of “Congratulations!!” the moment this song starts playing at such an important moment.
On top of that, his soaring vocals really hit home, as if they’re cheering on the bride and groom’s happy future.
Family compositionOkazaki Taiiku
This song is recommended for those who aren’t fond of the typically sentimental mood at weddings.
Not only does it cheer on the couple becoming a family, but it also seems to give voice to the feelings of those sending off the bride and groom.
If you feel shy about expressing your usual gratitude, why not try conveying it by dancing and having fun?
