Lyrics

You dream about him every night,
but soon he sleeps by your side.
You can touch hand and hand,
and having a lovely lovely dream.

In your imagination I guess,
It's not the goal but only beginning.
Hundred years or more,
Don't forget to say "I love you!"

Happy your Happy your Happy your lovely Wedding
Happy your Happy your I say to you every night
Happy your Happy your Happy so sweet Wedding
Happy your Happy your every every morning

Song Production Information

TAKA

After GOLI, GYO, and I had a brief discussion, the perfect plan was born.
I started making a song with animations and music related to weddings in connection with a certain VJ's wedding, and the title was first called "HAPPY WEDDING ○○○!", but I thought the situation was too limited, so I made a general wedding song.
Many people around me are recently getting married, but after marriage, your wife is waiting for you, and the relationship deteriorates, so it can get pretty boring around you, right?
Even when I attend wedding ceremonies, I also help organize it in tears, so I feel bad for my father.... when I think about it, it's becoming quite lonely, so I wanted to include the hidden joy and loneliness within the happiness in this song.
I thought about it, and I struggled a lot because I rarely write songs with a theme these days. I tried my best to express the tears associated with happiness and sadness, without using phrases and tones with blatant association with them.

Video Production Information

GOLI

Congratulations on your marriage. To a certain VJ.
By the way, the wedding dress is based on the wife of that certain VJ.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. I'm grateful for something.... a guarantee?

Payment...

Now, let's talk about the animation.

TAKA "HAPPY WEDDING ○○○! What's this?"

GOLI "Of course it's a gag song, right?"

TAKA "That's right."

GOLI "That's interesting, let's do it. You want to do it for impact?"

TAKA "That's right."

A few weeks later...
GOLI "How is it~? Did you do it~?"
TAKA "......... Something seems unreasonable"
GOLI "Are you satisfied with it? NOW... I GOT IT, i'm GOING TO DO IT!"

A few weeks later...
GOLI "Huh, what is it?"
TAKA "I did it. I made it."
GOLI "What?"
TAKA "HAPPY WEDDING.... Well, just listen to it now."
GOLI "Oh. It's nice. This...."

However..........




















Where's the gag song?
I need to redraw it!!


In that case, it became the animations of Celica's dreams.

I intended for this situation to be about LADY (1st), who was invited to her friend's wedding, and brilliantly caught the bouquet.

Who's that friend?
