"Guide to Handling the Bride: 5 Amazing Parody Video Performances of Kana Nishino's 'Toritsuyu' Created by the Bride's Friends"
2017.02.18 published
Kana Nishino's "Torisetsu" is Inspired by Wedding Performances!
Singer Kana Nishino's popular song "Torisetsu" is truly a hit! It was nominated for the 2016 Record Awards and won the Excellent Works Award!
I think everyone has heard this song at least once as it perfectly suits the classic wedding performance, “How to Handle the Bride” performed by the bride’s friends ♡
Dear bride. Please read the instruction manual of our beloved bride, who is getting married ♡
This song "Torisetsu" is full of requests from girls to guys (the precautions in the instruction manual)!
To explain the content of the song, it starts with “Thank you for choosing me as I am." Please read this instruction manual carefully before use and treat me correctly and kindly.”
Then it cutely asks, “Returns and exchanges are not accepted due to being a one-of-a-kind item. Thank you for your understanding.” ♡
The following lyrics include specific instructions, such as regular compliments will make it last longer, unexpected gifts on ordinary days are effective, and please take me on trips from time to time, with relatable lines that make girls nod in agreement like “I totally understand!”
It's recommended for the bride’s friends to create a parody and sing it!
This song resonates remarkably with women, while men might think, “So many requests, women are really troublesome...” It's a classic example of a song split in evaluations by gender based on internet reviews!
So, it's key that this song is not sung by the bride herself, but rather by her friends!*
If the bride were to sing, it might come off as a stronger impression, and if there are any difficult relatives on the groom’s side, they might get annoyed... which could be a concern.
However, creating a parody of part of the lyrics and giving the groom the bride's instruction manual from her friends is incredibly cute, playful, and fun!*
It can cram in elements of the bride’s personality, such as being a bit clumsy or overly responsible, making it genuinely heartwarming for the bride when it's performed for her!
Let’s check out popular wedding performances of "Torisetsu" on YouTube ♩
Since its release on September 9, 2015, many parody versions of "Torisetsu" have been performed at actual weddings! ♡
Here are some adorable versions of "Torisetsu (Wedding Performance Version)" I found on YouTube! *

The original song "Torisetsu" is 4:17 long! It's common to film various scenes and edit them into a video.
The beginning, "Thank you for choosing me as I am," should be changed to “Thank you for choosing my favorite XX.” This is the promise! *

This version changes the title to "Mamisetsu," spelling the bride's name in it!
The line “Returns and exchanges are not accepted due to being a one-of-a-kind item” is also changed to “Returns and exchanges are not accepted for our beloved ones. Thank you for your understanding.” How cute! ♡

This video was filmed by friends who went to the same school, at the school building! *
She is stylish with a small face, amazing figure but has many silly traits. However, those quirks are also the bride's charm points ♩
That's a message that only the bride's friends could convey!

This one is created not only by the bride's friends, but also includes friends who know both the bride and groom well, for the married couple! *
It starts with “Thank you for inviting us to this wonderful ceremony. Please accept this instruction manual as our celebration gift. Please treat each other kindly forever," bringing heartfelt messages from everyone to the couple! *
The first half features male vocals while the second half is sung by females, but the male voice is really charming and lovely!
The Parody of Torisetsu for Wedding Performances is Touching! ♡
Married life is the collaborative effort of two distinct individuals building a home together ♡
As in the lyrics of Torisetsu, there might be times when you want to look elsewhere as it ages, or perhaps the partner is putting in effort unnoticed while the stress they hold may come pouring out.
It’s truly wonderful how the bride’s long-time friends send an instruction manual reflecting a side of the bride that the groom may not know, ensuring she lives happily ever after! ♩
Let’s carefully read the lyrics of Nishino Kana’s "Torisetsu" and think about how to replace certain parts to better express this person! ♩
