ButterflyKimura Kaera
“Butterfly,” which Kaela Kimura wrote especially for her best friend’s wedding.
The lyrics—written less like a work of art and more like a letter to a dear friend—overflow with the joy of celebrating the best day of someone you love.
It’s a song I want to dedicate, with all my heart, to the friend who has always supported me: Congratulations today! May you grow even happier from here on out!
MIRAIShonan no Kaze
This song is built on an energetic, reggae-inspired sound that’s quintessentially Shonan no Kaze.
It carries a hopeful, forward-looking message, emphasizing the importance of bonds with friends and supporting one another.
Included on the album “2022 ~Time to Shine~,” it was released in July 2022.
The track sings about the importance of pursuing your dreams while facing reality, maintaining hope even in difficult times, and opening up the future together with your friends.
It’s a perfect fit for scenes that portray male friendship—like a message video for a male friend’s birthday or moments spent with friends at a wedding.
Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)Yonezu Kenshi
This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu, created with actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.
Having two vocalists emphasizes the lyrics reflecting on the lives of oneself and a friend.
The contrast between the past and the present is moving, as it captures how, amid the pains that unexpectedly come with adulthood, we can’t help but recall the carefree joy of our youth.
It depicts a belief in the things that remain unchanged even as the days pass, and a longing for them.
When we reunite with friends, I hope we can laugh together while searching for what hasn’t changed.
Dear BrideNishino Kana
Kana Nishino’s very first wedding song.
Friendship isn’t all about the good times—it’s something that’s born as you share the unpleasant and the sad moments too.
Since it’s the future chosen by the friend who’s been through those days with you, it’s bound to be something wonderful.
I’d love to give this song—stronger and kinder than any words of congratulations—to a friend who’s getting married!
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.
