Not Just Dark Songs! 7 Tracks by Kenshi Yonezu Perfect for Weddings

What songs by Kenshi Yonezu can you use at a wedding?

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who gained popularity from Niconico Douga.

His representative song is "Lemon," which sings about a painful love. Many people might have an image of him as "cool," "unique," "often dark," and "mysterious" due to his sentimental main songs and very long bangs that obscure his eyes. However,

he actually has many songs that are suitable for weddings*

Here are some recommended songs along with the scenes in which to play them♩

Song #1 for Weddings: Paprika

The first song I recommend is "Paprika," which was used as an official song for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

The music video is reminiscent of a child's summer vacation diary. The melody and lyrics evoke nostalgia, making it a great choice for a profile movie♡

The version sung by the music unit "Foorin," which Kenshi Yonezu produced, has a bright atmosphere.*

It seems perfect for a child flower bouquet presentation♩

Song #2 for Weddings: orion

As the name suggests, "orion" is a deep song that makes you feel the night sky.

It would leave a lasting impression if played during the final exit scene. This song also suits a night wedding setting＊

Song #3 for Weddings: MAD HEAD LIVE

"MAD HEAD LIVE" is a rock song that, unlike most of Yonezu's work, sings about love. It's an upbeat song, so it would be lively if played during game time at the after-party♩

Song #4 for Weddings: Flowerwall

"Flowerwall" is a romantic love song that expresses feelings for a woman♡

With its relaxed melody, it seems good to play as background music during welcoming, mingling, or table rounds.

Song #5 for Weddings: Ein Kleine

This is also a love song that expresses feelings for a girlfriend.

Many people might resonate with the chorus, "How happy I am to be able to smile, saying that it was okay to be with you, even with persistent sadness and cracks."*

It seems suitable for use in profile movies or as background music during mingling♩

Song #6 for Weddings: Haru Rai

"Haru Rai," characterized by its rap-like fast rhythm, has a captivating atmosphere that lingers in your mind.*

For those who "really love Kenshi Yonezu," it might be a bold choice to use it as the entrance music♩

Song #7 for Weddings: LOSER

"LOSER" is notable for its gentle yet powerful vocals.

Since the chorus is quite intense, it seems suitable as background music at the after-party＊
