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.

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.
Peach juiceELAIZA
How about a love song that tightly distills the feeling of a crush? Peach Juice, released by Elaiza Ikeda under the name ELAIZA, became available for streaming on December 20, 2023.
Listening to the lyrics, it’s striking how they convey the real emotions of younger listeners, especially those in their twenties.
The pleasant, rhythmic sound is wonderful too.
Brighten up your sweet White Day moments with this track.
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.”
wishMarushii
This is a heartwarming song by Marcy that anyone can relate to in their wish for love.
It carefully portrays the changing feelings of being in love—from an earnest plea as if praying to God, to a strong resolve to protect the one you care about.
Chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Doese, Koishite Shimaun da.”, the track features a pop, warm sound that beautifully balances the sweetness of youth with the poignancy of romance.
It’s a perfect song to listen to when you want to reaffirm your feelings for someone special or when you’re thinking about a White Day return gift.
