We would like to introduce “MemoReplay,” which is currently trending in Japan.
We provide touching performances for Japanese weddings. We have provided our services at 1,200 weddings and currently have approximately 40 million views as of July 2020 on our youtube channel.
Typically, in Japanese weddings, the bride and groom read a letter to their parents to show how much they appreciate them.
In recent years, “MemoReplay,” has offered an alternative way to express the powerful feelings of a bride and groom’s letter through performance, usually of their childhood memories and memories that were special to them and their family.
The word MemoReplay is a play on words. Memo（to record something so that you will not forget it）, memory, replay（to see it again）, and play（performance）. Combining these to create a performance to allow loved ones to see memories once again so as not to be forgotten.
The parents are usually confused when the actors first appear, but gradually the similarities to their children become more apparent and remind them of the real memories that are being acted out before them. Seeing the parents become emotional from these performances is truly a touching experience for everyone attending.
The entire group of wedding attendees also start to cry, and even hundreds of strangers who have seen the videos are deeply moved and shed tears. In Japan, this is considered the most touching performance for wedding ceremonies.
Japan continues to accept a variety of foreign cultures while also preserving its own traditions, this is evident in wedding ceremonies as well.
For example, Japanese weddings are based upon “Shinto”, a very ancient religion in Japan.
In a Shinto wedding, the bride wears a traditional Japanese garment: a Shiromuku (a traditional pure white, silk kimono), an Irouchikake (a colorful wedding kimono), or a Hikifurisode (a trailing, long-sleeved kimono). Recently, many brides and grooms have had a more western style wedding ceremony wearing a bridal gown and tuxedo or have even combined the two cultures.
With Japanese brides and grooms becoming more open minded and interested in new ways to express their love and gratitude, it has inspired “MemoReplay” and possibly a new style of wedding “tradition”.
Up until now, “MemoReplay” has been introduced in the media including being introduced on some of Japan’s most popular tv shows including Fuji TV’s “Mecha Ike” which is a show running for 22 years which showcases trending things in Japan. It also received a great response online where it was previously ranked number one trending on Twitter. Takeshi Kitano, a well-known comedian, television presenter, actor, filmmaker, and author from Japan, applauded the performance during one of his television programs.
Recently, the company was interviewed by the Chinese media.
Our vision is to expand “MemoReplay” worldwide with the intention of brides and grooms having these similar, awe-inspiring performances at their weddings internationally. .It is the hope for the company that this website will be the first step in bringing the joy of our performances worldwide.
