Bouquet – back number (Full)

I feel that the lyrics are woven toward the final line.

I believe many things await you in your married life ahead.

There will be times when your feelings don’t align or you argue.

This is a song I’d love for you to listen to in those moments.

I wish you lots of happinessnaniwa danshi

Naniwa Danshi – Sachi Are [Official Music Video] YouTube ver.

The song that brightens the glamorous wedding of two people stepping toward their future is “Sachiare.” It was released in 2022 by the male idol group Naniwa Danshi, with lyrics and music by Yuzu’s Yujin Kitagawa.

Its poppy, radiant sound perfectly matches this once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Because it expresses the joy of meeting a beloved person and straightforward feelings, it’s also recommended for the bride and groom to sing to each other.

If you’re giving it as a gift from friends during a performance or celebration, learning the song and dance to perform it would be great too.

Be sure to sing this track that foreshadows the couple’s happy life together.

In the lead-up to the wedding, a lot of things happened—some didn’t go well, and there were times you felt like giving up—but when you finally feel glad you made it to the big day, I hope you’ll play this song.

It’s so moving that you might find the tears just won’t stop.

Tegomass 'Hana-muke' pitch-shifted version

It’s a wedding song to celebrate a friend’s big day.

Tegomass’s easy-to-listen-to, refreshing harmonies are very pleasant and resonate in the heart.

It’s a simple song, but precisely because of that simplicity, it delivers the feelings directly—enough to move you to tears, don’t you think?

It’s not a heartfelt love song, but it’s a bright, upbeat track that could really liven up the atmosphere at the venue.

Everyone can join in on the “Honey Flash” part, or if the bride doesn’t usually have chances to sing in front of the groom, she could boldly use this song to show off her cuteness.

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?
