Three Artists I Recently Listen to a Lot*
Recently,
① Yorushika
② Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.
③ YOASOBI
These three artists are gaining popularity*
There are common characteristics among these three groups, including:
☑ Female vocals
☑ Vocaloid origin
☑ They do not reveal their faces or profiles (anonymous)
☑ Many of their music videos are created through animation
☑ Their lyrics are rich in literary, narrative, and poetic elements
☑ Their worldviews are unique!
☑ Frequently featured in TikTok and YouTube lyric videos and MADs
They are often featured together in articles or special segments, and they are making waves as next-generation artists born from internet culture*
(The meanings of the lyrics are very profound, and each time a new song is released, fans often interpret the title and messages, and discussions arise about their meanings...!)
Since I thought their songs might become increasingly popular at weddings♡, I picked out some songs that could be good for wedding BGM.
(There are hardly any purely positive and bright love songs, so I selected songs that seem suitable based on their lyrics and melodies. Opinions may vary, so please listen for reference*)
First, let me introduce Yorushika♩
Songs by 【Yorushika】 You Want to Play at Your Wedding♩
Yorushika is a rock band formed in 2017, comprising two male and female members.
Here are some songs that could work as wedding BGM.
<①> Hana ni Bourei
The theme song of the anime film "Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu."
This song features a slightly melancholic yet refreshing melody and lyrics that poetically express the beauty of summer♩
<②> Tada Kimi ni Hare
A song that evokes memories and scents of summer from childhood.
The running melody is also pleasant to listen to.
<③> Ame to Cappuccino
A song that is widely recognized among fans as "emo and stylish"*
Songs by 【Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.】 You Want to Play at Your Wedding♩
Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni. is an indie music unit led by female singer-songwriter ACAne, who debuted in 2018.
Commonly referred to as Zutomayo, their most popular song is "Byoushin wo Kamu."
Here are some songs that might be good for wedding BGM.
<①> Humanoid
When you think deeply about the interpretations and meanings, it may seem philosophical and suitable for weddings...?
However, I chose this song because I love the beautiful opening lyrics.
<②> Kimi ga Ite Mizu ni Naru
A song with a wonderful melody that has transparency and a sense of floating*
Songs by 【YOASOBI】 You Want to Play at Your Wedding♩
Finally, here is YOASOBI, known for their hit song "Yoru ni Kakeru*"
They are a two-member unit that embodies novels into music and visuals.
Here are some songs that could work as wedding BGM.
<①> Yoru ni Kakeru
A fast-paced, popular YOASOBI song.
I love the phrase, "Don't let go of the hands we've joined, we are now running into the night together."
<②> Ano Yume wo Nazotte
A cute love song that evokes a bittersweet atmosphere of summer♩
Difficult to Interpret but Want to Play At a Wedding if You Like♡
I introduced songs from the currently popular Yorushika, Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni., and YOASOBI that could be played at weddings.
However, there are not many purely romantic songs, and once you start to seriously think about the meanings and messages of the lyrics, it can be about heartbreak, ambiguous relationships, or existentially large themes, making it really challenging to choose...!
Of course, interpretations of songs vary from person to person, so if you come across a song you like, I recommend playing it at your wedding♡
