Beautiful Harmony: Recommended Wedding Songs by Kobukuro for Your Special Day

Pick up Kobukuro's Wedding BGM♡

Kobukuro, a duo consisting of the tall Shunsuke Kuroda and the short Kentaro Kobuchi, began their activities in 1998.

It's been 20 years since their formation, and now they are a hugely popular artist that has performed at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen multiple times, but in the beginning, they were street musicians doing street performances in Osaka.

(Moreover, Kobuchi was still a salaryman at that time...!)

As they showcased their self-composed songs during street performances, crowds of 200 to 300 began to gather in the shopping district.

After working as independents, they made their major debut in 2001 with the song "YELL ~Eiru~" ♩

Kobukuro's songs have been used in many dramas, movies, and commercials.

Their song "Tsubomi," which was chosen for the Record Award in 2007, and "Sakura," from the drama "Nurse Aoi" starring Satomi Ishihara, are particularly famous.

(Doesn't it bring back memories...?)

The beauty of their harmony and the strong messages that resonate deeply are the charm of Kobukuro ♩

In this article, we will carefully introduce songs from Kobukuro's entire 362 releases that are perfect for wedding BGM ♡

Kobukuro's Song 1: Eien ni Tomo ni

"Eien ni Tomo ni" is a classic wedding song that represents Kobukuro.

This song was created by Kobuchi for a married couple who are also friends and concert staff.

The chorus that repeats "Walking together, searching together, laughing together...." in 12 phrases is truly moving ♡

It features a mellow part and a grand part, making it special.

It is recommended to use it as an entrance or exit song at weddings ♩

Kobukuro's Song 2: Million Films

"Million Films" became a commercial song for NTT West and later for Calbee's potato chips ♩

The lyrics evoke scenes from the daily lives of a loving couple, making it relatable and popular.

The message "I want to imprint memories that can’t be captured even by a million films" is simply wonderful ＊

It would be great as background music for a profile movie.

Kobukuro's Song 3: YELL ~Eiru~

"YELL ~Eiru~" is Kobukuro's major debut song released in 2001 ♩

As the title suggests, it's an uplifting support song for those who are doing their best.

The opening line of the chorus, “Now, you are standing at the threshold,” makes it perfect for wedding BGM ♡

Its powerful melody makes it a great choice for the groom’s entrance during a costume change.

Kobukuro's Song 4: Silhouette

"Silhouette" is an answer song to "Eien ni Tomo ni" ♩

It expresses feelings of cherishing a beloved husband from a woman's perspective.

It subtly mentions wishing for the arrival of a small shadow (i.e., a future child), which is lovely ♡

It might work well as background music for the introduction of the bride or during a break.

Kobukuro's Song 5: YOU

"YOU" is a somewhat unreliable (?) love song from a man's perspective ♩

The phrase "You are my one and only treasure, meeting you" is romantic and something I'd love to hear from my partner...!

With its relaxed yet rhythmic melody, it would be suitable as background music during the reception.

Kobukuro's Song 6: BlueBird

"BlueBird" is a very grand (and somewhat abstract) love-themed song ♡

The chorus with Kuroda and Kobuchi's harmonies of "Your Love" and "Blue Bird" is impactful, despite the short words.

It's a cool, tightened song that would create a wonderful atmosphere if played in moments where you want to grab the guests' attention or bring tension.

Kobukuro's Song 7: Diary

Lastly, we have the song "Diary"♡

The lyrics, written like a diary, are very specific and make you wonder if he thinks the same way; it's a cute song.

Particularly, the phrase "If the day comes when you can think of your last heartbreak with your ex as the end of your life, that's proof this love turned into love" is thought-provoking.

It’s a song to play during the cake cutting or first bite moments to show the couple's friendly side ♩
