You can read the viewer comments here.
Many non-Japanese-speaking viewers (there’s a Japanese upload with many more views) said it dawned on them what was going on.
Quite a few said they began to cry. If you need them, here from the comments is one translation of the words.
00:00 (Announcement) “Everyone, may I have your attention please. Here we have our bride’s father Mr. Yasuhiro with a message to share. Mr. Yasuhiro, please, the moment is yours.”
00:30 Groom “Your father can play the piano?”
00:33 Bride: Shakes her head.
00:57 Bride “Stop it.”
01:09 Bride “Stop it plz…”
01:13 Bride “The song is… Why do you play this…” (Past scene, Bride’s mother played CANON when Bride was a child.)
01:35 Bride “Unskilled…”
01:45 Bride “Play gently at the part…”
01:55 (Funeral scene, holding the remains of Bride’s mother in car.)
02:05 (After Bride’s mother was dead, Bride fell out with her father.)
02:13 Bride “Though you are awkward…”
02:41 Bride (shocked by the sudden pause) “Eh?”
02:48 Bride “You can do it…”
02:54 Bride “You can do it!”
02:59 Bride “You can do it, Dad…!!”
03:12 (Message) Music is able to surpass Words.

Pachelbel’s lovely Canon in D (which is actually Canon in C here; he uses only the white keys) is perhaps the most recognized around the world of all compositions from Germany.
Italy is not to be outdone in anything Baroque though! I reckon this Fandango by Boccherini might be Italy’s equivalent.
Okay, a Spanish dance, played here by two young French groups - but still, composed by an Italian…
