HappinessChe’Nelle

Che’Nelle – Happiness

Many people choose Che’Nelle’s songs as background music for weddings.

Her track “Happiness” was also used as the theme song for the TV drama “Dear Sister,” starring Nao Matsushita and Satomi Ishihara.

The song expresses the dilemma and feelings of loving someone dearly—someone who means more than anything—yet being unable to express emotions well because of one’s own personality.

If you usually struggle to be open about your feelings or feel too shy to express gratitude face-to-face, how about conveying them through this song?

This is a song that honestly expresses feelings toward one’s mother.

It’s a track that can bring you to tears even during a casual listen, and it’s perfect for weddings.

If you play it during the send-off/intermission—a high-energy moment in the ceremony—it will quickly sweep the entire venue into a wave of emotion.

Beyond the intermission, it also works well for scenes like the bride’s letter or the bouquet presentation.

Just be careful: if you play it out of the blue, not only the bride and groom but everyone might end up in tears…!

This song is a straightforward expression of gratitude to one’s parents, filled with warm affection.

Released in August 2015 and featured in an NTT Docomo commercial, it carefully portrays how the singer continues to feel the same parental love from childhood memories to adulthood.

The music video features Kanna Mori, and its depiction of the bond between mother and child also drew attention.

It’s a perfect choice for moments that celebrate family love, such as during a wedding reception intermission or scenes expressing thanks to parents.

wacci “Make It a Bouquet” Music Video

This song, included on the 3rd album “Gunjou Refrain,” is moving in the way it directly expresses deep gratitude and love for someone important.

Wacci’s signature warm melody and delicate vocals gently sink into the listener’s heart.

I’ve heard it was made for Mother’s Day, so it’s perfect for leaving the reception together with your mother at a wedding.

Since the lyrics don’t explicitly state that the message is to a mother, it can also be used when stepping out with your father or grandparents who raised you in a parental role.
