 note = {This article discusses the relationships between church weddings and Japanese Films in the 1980s. In Japan, church weddings are the most popular style of wedding although almost all Japanese are not Christian. Church weddings began to gain popularity in the second half of the 1980s. Three social and cultural changes allowed this shift to occur. The first is the decline in prominence of the Ie-Seido, or paternalistic family system. Since the Meiji period, marriage had been regarded as the connection between Ie (families) but this family system started to decline in the 80s, when marriage had come to be thought of as the bond between individual persons instead. Because of this change of thought, young couples became likely to choose church weddings instead of the traditional Shinto-rites wedding. The second change is Hollywood films. Japanese saw church weddings through Hollywood films and a longing for it had been aroused by these filmic experiences. The third change is that Japanese famous movie stars and singers held church weddings in the 70s and 80s. These ceremonies were widely reported through magazines, newspapers, and televisions, and became good opportunities for church weddings to become widely known among the public. Reflecting this trend, church weddings started to appear more frequently in Japanese films in the 1980s. Among those films, this article examines Carib, Symphony of Love (1985), starring singer Matsuda Seiko. This is a representative example of the three social/cultural changes mentioned. The absence of a father of the heroin can be interpreted as an indication of the decline of Ie-Seido, and the depiction of the church wedding scene is influenced by the Hollywood film The Graduate (1967). Interestingly, just after finishing this film, Matsuda Seiko married an actor with whom she co-starred in this film. Her church wedding became a big media event and was said to have aroused longings for church weddings among young women.},
