Men’s friendship songs roundup: a collection of classic tracks you’ll want to play at your wedding (21–30)
Love SongSUPER BEAVER
An emotional mood is nice, but if you want to celebrate brightly, I recommend SUPER BEAVER’s “Love Song.” It’s a track from their 2018 album Eve of Cheers, overflowing with a happy vibe and truly wonderful lyrics.
The straightforward message and heartfelt warmth that are so characteristic of SUPER BEAVER really resonate.
A friend’s smile can make you feel energized too, right? It brings out lots of gratitude you don’t usually say, so why not pour those passionate feelings into this song? Your friend’s big, joy-filled day will be even more heartwarming and wrapped in smiles.
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.
Compilation of songs about male friendship: 31–40 must-hear tracks to play at weddings
FriendNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
It’s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s ‘Tomo yo’ (‘Friend’).
True to Nagabuchi’s style, it’s a song with a very strong message.
It’s a wonderful classic about male friendship, and I think it really resonates with people in their 40s and 50s.
The rugged, masculine lyrics are especially appealing.
SONG 4 UGReeeeN
It’s a straightforward friendship song that sings, “No matter how much time passes, I want us to stay in a relationship where we can laugh together like we do now.” It’s a track by the popular music group GReeeeN, known for hits like “Kiseki” and “Hoshikage no Yell,” and it’s included on their 12th album, Rockin’ Beats, released in December 2022.
The lyrics, which convey the joy of having met and gratitude for an irreplaceable presence, are moving to tears.
Surely you, too, have someone you feel this way about.
Thank you, God.Sugata Masaki × Nakamura Tomoya
A heartwarming song that sets bonds with friends and everyday gratitude to a gentle melody.
Co-written by Masaki Suda and Tomoya Nakamura in August 2020, it portrays the importance of friendship—supporting one another even while facing life’s difficulties and anxieties.
Their vocals, both powerful and warm, gently convey the courage to keep moving forward and a sense of appreciation for one’s companions.
The track is also included on the album “COLLAGE,” and its memorable music video, which creates a feeling of warm encounters, features Tori Matsuzaka appearing as a photographer.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when celebrating a friend’s new journey or reflecting on time spent with friends.
Marriage Fighting-Spirit March “Best Buddies”Kishidan
A classic hit by Kishidan that overflows with the feeling of celebrating a friend’s marriage.
Released in June 2004, it opens with an intro quoting Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, followed by a Yankee-style rock sound and lyrics filled with deep friendship that truly resonate.
Included on the album “Ai Ra Bu Yu,” it reached No.
6 on the Oricon weekly chart and stayed on the charts for 23 consecutive weeks.
Now a wedding staple, this big hit is also perfect as BGM for a friend’s speech celebrating the start of a beloved friend’s new journey.
It will wrap the entire venue in a festive, warm atmosphere.
KizunaORANGE RANGE
A friendship song that gently warms the heart I recommend is ORANGE RANGE’s “Kizuna.” It’s a ballad whose slightly nostalgic atmosphere pairs perfectly with its orange hue, and it’s said to be a “song of the bonds of friendship” dedicated to the departed member KATCHAN.
With a melody that wraps you in a sense of comfort, it evokes hometown pride and the feeling of home, while lyrics about friends far away deepen your feelings for them.
No matter how far apart you are, being able to meet and talk just like the old days is kind of wonderful, isn’t it? It’s a great choice for conveying your feelings at a wedding celebration or on a birthday.
