I Want to Express My Gratitude to My Beloved Parents.

A wedding is a place to show appreciation to those who have helped you up to this point. Especially, there are feelings toward family who have raised you since birth that can't be put into words.

So, at the reception, let's convey our gratitude through music filled with messages directed towards our beloved father and mother.

I have gathered J-POP music that resonates with the heart and evokes a sense of family bonds.

Here are some recommended songs for the father, mother, and both parents.

Use them for the bride's letter, the bouquet presentation, profile movie, etc.♩

From the Bride and Groom to Father ① FUNKY MONKEY BABYS / Hero

A support song for dads, "Hero" by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS.

Many brides and grooms may have realized how amazing their dads are for the first time after becoming adults and working for their families!

This song is perfect for scenes where you want to express gratitude to such dads.

From the Bride and Groom to Father ② Yusaku Kiyama / home

Many of you might have heard the chorus, "Shall we go home now?" "Home" by Yusaku Kiyama is a song depicting a father's love for his child.

The warm lyrics written by a dad who raises four sons while working as a company employee are charming. It makes you think, "Did my dad feel this way?"

Fathers will surely recall fond memories with the bride and groom in their childhood.

From the Bride and Groom to Mother ③ Kiroro / To the Future

"To the Future," which Chiharu Tamaki of Kiroro wrote for her mother when she was in junior high school.

This song expresses feelings towards a mother who has always supported her, even when they were sometimes apart. The gentle lyrics and melody inspire thoughts of a happy future, as indicated by the title "To the Future."

From the Bride and Groom to Mother ④ back number / Letter

"Letter" by back number is a message song for mothers who have watched over and raised their children.

The lyrics, "Even when I can't look ahead, if I look back, I can always see that I've been loved," convey that it was the mother's love that has allowed them to get this far.

The music video featuring actress Kanna Mori as the mother is also a must-see.＊

From the Bride and Groom to Parents ⑤ Takuya Ohashi / Thank You

"Thank You" by Takuya Ohashi is a song recommended for grooms and brides living in Tokyo away from their parents due to schooling and employment.

The straightforward lyrics, such as "I am truly glad to have been born to you, and I can proudly say this now," resonate deeply with a soft melody.

From the Bride and Groom to Parents ⑥ Masaharu Fukuyama / Signpost

"Signpost," written by Masaharu Fukuyama for his grandmother, has also been used as the ending theme for Nippon Television's "NEWS ZERO," so many might have heard it.

Lyrics like "I love that hand, the hand that raised us and let us embark on our journey, living each day sincerely" convey love for the parents.

It's sure to bring tears when you listen to the lyrics closely.

From the Bride and Groom to Parents ⑦ Kazumasa Oda / Beyond Words

"Beyond Words" by Kazumasa Oda was also a CM song for Meiji Life.

Although parents do not appear directly in the lyrics, lines like "I'm so glad to have met you" resonate with the overflowing emotions of the bride and groom.

The memorable phrase "LaLaLa..." will wrap the venue in emotion.

From the Bride and Groom to Parents ⑧ Kazumasa Oda / Certain Things

Next is another masterpiece by Kazumasa Oda. "Certain Things" is a popular BGM for weddings.

The lyrics, "There are things I haven't told you yet, and from the day we met, I have loved you," can be interpreted as a message from the bride and groom to their parents as well as from parents to the bride and groom.

It will surely evoke memories of the day they were born and the meeting.

Infusing Gratitude for Parents into the BGM♩

I introduced eight Japanese songs that can convey messages to fathers and mothers. With their touching lyrics and melodies, the entire venue will surely be filled with tears.

To ensure it becomes the best day for parents as well, we want to carefully choose the BGM with heartfelt thoughts.
