Unique Songs to Express Gratitude and Feelings for Parents in a Bride's Letter
2020.09.18 published
There are plenty of famous songs, but...
It's common for brides to play background music that expresses gratitude toward their parents during scenes like reading letters at the wedding reception or presenting bouquets.
Some popular songs that come to mind include Kiroro's "Mirai e," GReeeeN's "Fubo Uta," Zushi San Kyodai's "Junpun no Hanayome," and Ikimonogakari's "Arigato."
However, in this article, I've picked out wonderful songs that are not widely known, but beautifully express feelings of gratitude toward parents—songs that might not immediately come up in a search.
Be sure to play them during scenes that involve parents! ♩
