“Koi Dance” became a huge movement, and this song—Gen Hoshino’s “Koi”—is known by everyone from children to the elderly.

It became a massive hit as the theme song for the drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu), and you heard it all the time on the streets and on TV.

It’s no exaggeration to say that everyone knows this track, but it’s a number I’d love for you to listen to again while carefully reading the lyrics.

When you listen, you’ll surely find yourself wanting to see that special someone—you’ll feel your heart gently warm with this love song.

I wish I could just tell them how I feel, but I can’t… White Day is an event that gives a gentle push to people who are a little inexperienced in love.

This song, “Koi Oto to Amazora,” speaks for those “I like you but can’t say it” feelings.

Be sure to watch AAA’s restrained yet expressive dancing, too.

Compared to other artists, AAA didn’t appear in the media very often.

And yet they still earned such overwhelming support… which makes their hiatus all the more regrettable.

Even though it’s White Day, some couples might be in the middle of a fight… How about using a song like this as a chance to make up? This track, “Tsutaetai Koto ga Konna Aru noni,” by INFINITY16 featuring Wakadanna from Shonan no Kaze and singer JAY’ED, already conveys a sense of frustration from its title.

But when you read the lyrics, you can feel the man’s inner thoughts: his feelings for the woman he cherishes, and his wish to start over even if they’ve broken up.

Listening to this song will surely help you open up and be honest.

Sukima Switch’s “Lovin’ Song” was released in 2024 as the theme song for the drama Ossan’s Love – Returns -.

Its 90s-tinged sound and lyrics that straightforwardly express the theme of love leave a strong impression.

It carries a very romantic message about nurturing love while experiencing moments of misunderstanding.

It’s perfect for White Day for anyone who wants to convey gratitude and affection to their partner.
