2017.09.14 published
National Program "Sazae-san" *
Set in Showa-era Tokyo, the national manga "Sazae-san" depicts the life of the Isono family living across three generations.
The anime started in 1969 and has aired over 6,000 episodes, making it an extremely long-running program.
It’s rare to find someone in Japan who has never seen "Sazae-san"!
"Sazae-san" is particularly famous for its OP and ED!
What is especially striking about the national anime "Sazae-san" is its unchanging opening and ending.
In the opening, Sazae-san travels across various parts of Japan and finally appears waving together with Katsuo and others from within a large fruit.
In the ending, after a chuckle-inducing four-panel comic, Sazae-san leads the Isono family as they line up and enter their home.
Many people conjure up these iconic scenes when they hear "Sazae-san" ♡
There were newlyweds who incorporated these extremely famous two scenes into their wedding ♩
Here are some unique "Sazae-san" wedding ideas that will resonate with everyone who sees them.
Bringing Sazae-san to life ♡ Idea 1: OP-style wedding photo
First, let's introduce the idea of taking wedding photos in the style of the opening.
Using perspective, it's popular to take photos that depict the couple appearing from among fruits and vegetables like Sazae-san and her family ♩
There were also newlyweds using a pot * The key is to extend your arms as if supporting the lid*
You could even capture the moment of "ta-da!" in a video to use for the opening movie or profile movie!
Guests can also take photos like this*
In this perspective shot, they are using a tennis ball ♥
Bringing Sazae-san to life ♡ Idea 2: ED-style wedding photo
Next, let’s recreate the ending-style wedding photo. Let’s reenact that famous scene where Sazae-san leads the family while playing the flute ♡
In this photo, the bride is at the front carrying a wedding flag, and the family is happily marching behind her ♩
Here's a fun shot where everyone strikes their own pose ♡
You can really feel the lively march.
It's lovely to see someone behind the bride spreading the wedding veil too ◎
Marching while connecting hands like playing train is also adorable ♡
This pose can be done without props, so it can be attempted not only during pre-wedding shoots but also for snapshot moments on the wedding day.
Bringing Sazae-san to life ♡ Idea 3: Photo booth
Lastly, here’s the idea of setting up a photo booth where you can recreate the opening of Sazae-san.
The design features the couple emerging from an apple on a large panel.
A photo booth where guests can play Sazae-san with the couple sounds like so much fun ♡
A large photo booth can be quite a task to prepare. If you want to make it easy, smaller apple photo props might be a better option ♩
If the two of you squeeze your faces together, you can take a Sazae-san-style photo.
Placing it in the waiting area of the venue would encourage guests to enjoy taking photos.
Anyone can chuckle along ♡ Let’s imitate Sazae-san!
We introduced wedding ideas that recreate the openings and endings of the national anime "Sazae-san."
