Can I try saying “I love you”?Matsushita Kohei
I want to summon the courage to say “I love you”! This gentle love song by Kohei Matsushita captures that feeling with warmth.
The lyrics by Takahito Uchisawa of androp blend seamlessly with Matsushita’s tender vocals, letting straight-from-the-heart emotions resonate deeply.
Released in November 2024, this song is one we especially hope will reach those who feel shy and can’t put their feelings into words, or who struggle to express their love to someone important.
Its wish to stay together, no matter how time passes, will quietly stay by your side.
I like all of it.Yūsuke
Yusuke’s “Zenbu Suki.” is sung like a letter from him, listing all the things he loves about you.
The song is one track from his third album, “Ano..
Namida ga Aru kara Ai ga Arundesukedo.” released in 2012.
He names all the wonderful things about his girlfriend, almost like bullet points, but in the end he loves each and every one of them—he loves everything about her, completely.
It’s a number overflowing with love.
It would be a great song to include with your White Day gift to your girlfriend to make the moment even more special.
New WorldBUMP OF CHICKEN
A chance encounter with someone can become the spark that gives life meaning and leads you into a new world—this universal message is woven into a song by BUMP OF CHICKEN.
Featured on the album “aurora arc,” it was released in December 2018.
Written as the theme song for the animated short “Baby I Love You Daze,” created to commemorate Lotte’s 70th anniversary, the track is perfect for those who want to honestly express the feeling of “I love you,” which can be hard to say out loud.
It will support you when you want to reaffirm your bond with someone important, or when you’re about to take a step into a new romance.
ki.mi.ni.mu.chuEXILE
漢字で書くと「君に夢中」で、朝からずっと胸が高鳴って止まらないホワイトデーにぴったりの曲です。
It’s a catchy, high-energy dance number that never lacked buzz, having even been used in the commercial for “The Malts,” the final single by performer Toshio Matsumoto.
The chorus, where you raise both hands and sway them lightly side to side as you dance, is a live-show staple that always gets the crowd going.
The lyrics—“A life that’s only about money is boring, days spent just online are dull, but I’m happy because I’m in love!”—might seem lighthearted, yet they somehow give you a boost.
The super fun music video is a must-see, too.
I Got ItIMP.
IMP.’s single “I Got It,” released in December 2023, is a feverish love song! Riding a powerful electric sound, it conveys a love that overflows without end.
Don’t miss the music video either, featuring dynamic choreography that harmonizes perfectly with those emotions.
As a love number from a male perspective, it’s the perfect track for White Day or any romantic situation.
I got a girlfriend.SHISHAMO
A song that captures a sweet, bittersweet slice of youth with down-to-earth lyrics, “Boku ni Kanojo ga Dekitanda” (“I Got a Girlfriend”).
Recorded in 2013 during the early days of SHISHAMO’s career, this love song—told from a male perspective—vividly portrays the joy of love coming to fruition and the irresistible urge to tell someone about it, something anyone can relate to.
Whether you’ve just fallen in love or you’re itching to share your success with friends, let this music give you a gentle push forward.
Banzai ~ So glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu
White Day is an event held as a return gift for Valentine’s Day.
When you get a good reply from the girl you like, you can’t help but want to shout, “Banzai!!” The song “Banzai ~Suki de Yokatta~” perfectly speaks for that feeling—a heart-thumping love tune.
The way it starts with a shout-like vocal is especially memorable.
The vocalist, Tortoise Matsumoto, is a huge fan of the trio Candies, and on the B-side of this single—though the term “B-side” itself already feels nostalgic—there’s a cover of Candies’ “Haru Ichiban.”
