Introducing the theme songs of Umizaru, which continue to be celebrated as great songs even today, categorized by each series*
First Film: Journey / Open Arms
The theme song for the first film is the only Western song in the series, "Journey" sung by Open Arms.
This song is also famous for playing during the heart-fluttering scene where Daisuke and Kaname share a kiss on the bus♩
If used as an exit song or background music during the end credits, it could bring an emotional conclusion to a wedding♡
Second Film: Precious / Yuna Ito
Yuna Ito's "Precious" is considered one of the most iconic songs in Umizaru, an ultimate love song♡
The chorus “We can love each other because we believe in us, to that sky” resonates deeply with its grand melody.
As a staple for wedding background music, using it for the entrance song is sure to elevate the atmosphere of the venue♡
Third Film: Motto Tsuyoku / EXILE
The theme song for the third film is EXILE's "Motto Tsuyoku."
Since the story takes place after their marriage, the theme of the music is family love.
The chorus "I've gained the fear of losing the important things I've obtained... but I will always be waiting for you," perfectly matches newlyweds♡
Since family love is the theme, it would also be nice to use it as background music for parents' gifts or the bride's letter♩
Fourth Film: Believe / Che'Nelle
The theme song for the last installment of the series is "Believe" by Che'Nelle.
A love song with overwhelming power, fitting for the concluding chapter♡
If used as background music for a profile movie, it's sure to beautifully present the couple's cherished memories*
It is simply a grand wedding song♡
TV Drama Version: OCEAN / B'z
The theme song for the TV drama version, which aired between the first and second films, is "OCEAN" by B'z.
You will be captivated by Inaba's cool singing voice and the uplifting lyrics♩
It would be wonderful to play this as background music for the groom's entrance or during intermissions♡
