Love SongGReeeeN
GReeeeN appeared and performed at the 2020 Kohaku Uta Gassen, sending fans into a brief frenzy wondering, “Was that really them?” It was a passionate performance, but the mystery only deepened—were those stand-ins, or some kind of holography or CG? This song is a refreshing youth anthem that screams “This is GReeeeN!” The lyrics are a straightforward confession from start to finish: I like you so much that only the words “I love you” can convey how I feel.
If you want to express your feelings on White Day, you should definitely listen.
It will surely give you courage.
Even though I have so much I want to sayINFINITY16
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.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
No matter how old you get, love always makes your heart race, doesn’t it? This song was never released as a single, yet it’s now one of MONGOL800’s signature tracks.
The lyrics—saying that the things you should cherish are the ones closest to you—are bittersweet, while the sound pounds straight into your heart.
Even after becoming big names, the band—nicknamed Monpachi—has continued to base their activities in Okinawa.
They embody the idea that truly good music will reach someone, somewhere, no matter where you’re making it.
It’s also a recommended track for anyone who didn’t get the answer they hoped for on White Day.
Sound of SnowNovelbright
A heartwarming pure love song that captures the stillness of winter.
Alongside the delicate melodies woven by Novelbright, it paints a beautiful world that makes you see snow piling up before your eyes.
The bittersweetness of being unable to put love into words and the joy of growing closer to someone are expressed through gentle tones and melodies.
Released in December 2023 and chosen as the opening theme for the anime “A Sign of Affection,” this piece is filled with a tenderness that warmly embraces a lovestruck heart.
It will surely resonate with those struggling to express their feelings to someone special or feeling uncertain about the distance between them.

Wherever you areONE OK ROCK
One of ONE OK ROCK’s most famous love songs, “Wherever you are,” sings of a man’s single-minded love and is also a popular choice for wedding scenes.
The straightforward lyrics combined with Taka’s beautiful vocals are truly moving.
If a woman received a song like this from her partner on White Day, she would surely be delighted.
It’s a challenging song to sing, but if you go to karaoke, I hope you’ll give it a try.
Even if you can’t sing it perfectly, it’s fine as long as you put your heart into it! It’s also nice that the words of love in the lyrics are in Japanese.
Stand By YouOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism—affectionately known as “Higedan”—has become a truly national group, winning fans across a wide range of ages.
Their song “Stand By You” is the title track from their second EP, Stand By You EP, released in 2018, and it was also used in an Apple Music commercial.
When you think of a love song you’d want to hear on White Day or listen to together with your partner, you might imagine lyrics filled with sweet words.
But this song doesn’t use phrases like “I love you” or “I’m crazy about you” at all, and yet it comes across as remarkably direct—a love song that powerfully conveys deep care for the other person.
Highly recommended.
From Me to Youflumpool
Did you know that Yusuke Inoue from the comedy duo NON STYLE once temporarily joined flumpool as a support member? Surprising, right? This song, “Kimi ni Todoke,” is flumpool’s love-cheer anthem dedicated to everyone doing their best in love.
It’s a sweet and slightly bittersweet track packed with the feelings of girls on Valentine’s Day and boys on White Day, and it’s sure to give a gentle push to anyone in love.
