Let's Get Inspiration for Wedding BGM from Commercials ♩

I have a suggestion for you when deciding on wedding BGM! ♡

That is to choose music used in TV commercials.

Songs played in commercials are something everyone unconsciously listens to, and without realizing it, they learn the melody or lyrics.

So when it plays at a wedding, guests will think, "Oh, I know this!" and enjoy it as if it's something personal.

Here are seven popular Japanese songs from commercials aired between 2017 and 2018＊

CM Song 1 from 2017-2018: The World is Smiling at You

The song “The World is Smiling at You” by Little Glee Monster was used in a Coca-Cola commercial in winter 2018.

Coca-Cola commercials always choose bright songs, and of course, this one has a happy vibe♩

It would be perfect for the entrance scene or the first bite at a wedding♡

CM Song 2 from 2017-2018: Let’s Build a House

“Let’s Build a House” by Kenta Kiritani as Urashima Taro is the theme song for the popular au "Santarō" series of commercials.

Following the previously popular song "Umi no Koe," it features a relaxing melody resonating with the sound of the shamisen＊

It’s recommended as BGM for the parents’ gift presentation scene♩

CM Song 3 from 2017-2018: Flower

“Flower” by Motohiro Hata is a corporate theme song for Panasonic.

The refrain, “What does it bloom for? What does it color for?” is a heartwarming ballad that deeply resonates＊

It's suitable for moments at the wedding that you want to be emotional.

CM Song 4 from 2017-2018: Middle-Aged Jump

“Middle-Aged Jump” by Southern All Stars is the theme song for the 2018 summer Mitsuya Cider commercial.

It features a bright and pop melody typical of Southern All Stars in the height of summer♡

It would make for a cheerful exit during intermission♩

CM Song 5 from 2017-2018: Your Ally

“Your Ally” by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is the theme song for the all-in-one sheet mask product “Moist EX” by Quality First.

It has a slightly mechanical and cute vibe that’s signature to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu♩

It's perfect as BGM for performances or productions♡

CM Song 6 from 2017-2018: Paradise Has No Border

“Paradise Has No Border feat. Sakana-kun” by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is the theme song for Kirin's Frozen Drinks commercials.

With Sakana-kun joining in, it became a hot topic for being an extremely cool orchestra!＊

It would definitely energize the venue if used as BGM during the costume change entrance♩

CM Song 7 from 2017-2018: ONE TIMES ONE

“ONE TIMES ONE” by Kobukuro is the theme song for Asahi's “Mogitate” canned chuhai.

With uplifting lyrics and a pleasant melody, it’s quintessentially a Kobukuro song♡

Due to its strong message, it might also fit well for opening movies or profile movies.
