Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Music is essential for weddings and receptions, from songs played in each scene to background music during conversations.

Couples preparing for their big day are probably excitedly considering which songs to play at which moments.

In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of upbeat Japanese songs that work well in any scene.

They’re all tracks that will further enhance the happy atmosphere, so listen to a variety and find your favorites.

Perfect for a band performance by the bride’s friends! With its gentle tempo and moving, tear-jerking melody, I think it can be arranged to be easy to listen to without being too loud for a wedding venue.

Of course, a keyboard-and-vocal duo or a solo sing-and-play performance would also work.

Many people are probably looking for songs they can perform as a solo sing-and-play act for a wedding reception.

For you, I recommend Aimyon’s “Marigold.” Aimyon even performed this song on the 2018 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, so it’s very well known.

Influenced by kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) melodies, it’s popular across generations and is a perfect choice for a wedding performance.
