“Garota de Ipanema” (“The Girl from Ipanema”) is a Brazilian bossa nova and jazz song. It was written in 1962, with music by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese lyrics by Vinícius de Moraes. English lyrics were written later by Norman Gimbel. (Wikipedia)

This is a Japanese rendition of “Garota de Ipanema” that was used for a partially Japanese wedding in 2023 between two loving misters. Hope you enjoy!
