Marshmallowaimyon
When it comes to White Day gifts, many people probably think of that white, fluffy confection.
Featured on Aimyon’s 3rd album, “Heard There’s Delicious Pasta,” this song is literally named after that very sweet.
With Toomi Yoh’s arrangement delivering a thick, full band sound, it sprinkles in words like sweet treats and chocolate while actually depicting a deeply sensual form of love—very much in Aimyon’s style.
It’s a number I’d recommend to adult lovers in relationships that aren’t merely sweet, but deep and richly intense.
Love and romanceNovelbright
A love song by Novelbright that depicts life-sized love overflowing in the small moments of everyday life.
Yudai Takenaka gently sings about the changes of heart unique to romance, where your hobbies and preferences shift under the influence of someone you love.
Included on the album “Assort,” released in May 2022, this track features a simple, warm sound built on acoustic guitar and synth bass that’s soothing to the ear.
It’s a perfect song for couples who value ordinary moments over flashy gestures.
For White Day, why not spend a calm moment together, appreciating each other’s presence?
AiHata Motohiro
A timeless hit by Motohiro Hata for anyone who wants to convey pure love on White Day.
His gentle yet powerful voice, together with the delicate tones of the acoustic guitar, resonates straight to the heart.
The lyrics portray a universal, profound love that makes you feel happy just by being together, quietly accompanying the listener’s heart.
Released as a single in January 2010, this song is also included on the beloved masterpiece album “Documentary.” Filled with the tenderness and ache of thinking about someone in the everyday moments, it’s perfect not only for those about to confess their feelings, but also for nights when you want to renew your gratitude to your partner.
Dear…Nishino Kana
A heartwarming medium-tempo ballad sung by Kana Nishino.
Many listeners may relate to the lyrics, which portray a devoted woman’s heart that grows stronger by thinking of her loved one, rather than dwelling on the loneliness of being apart.
Included on a single released in December 2009, this song was also chosen as the official theme for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’09–’10.” It carries a powerful message that supports not only those in love but also those striving toward their dreams.
On a bittersweet White Day when you can’t meet, it’s perfect to listen while thinking of someone special far away.
DarlingSuda Keina
A striking, direct call to the listener—an irresistibly catchy number that sticks in your head after just one listen.
In this song painted by Keina Suda, the theme centers on deep emotions lurking behind sweet words, like “dependency” and “obsession.” Released digitally in January 2023 and later included on the album Ghost Pop, the piece features pleasing repetitions and rhythms that loop in your mind like infatuation itself.
It’s a song for those who find mere cuteness unsatisfying—perfect for anyone completely and utterly hooked on the one they love.
LOVE iswanuka
An exquisite love anthem that sets feelings of romance to lavish horns and strings.
Released in January 2023 by Wanuka, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Batsuichi Futari wa Mitei na Kankei,” which aired on terrestrial TV and streaming in tandem.
It captures an inexplicable impulse—the kind that makes your step feel lighter just by liking someone—and simply listening to it makes your heart leap.
Later included on the album “Shinbigan,” this track is perfect for anyone preparing to confess on White Day or for those who want to reaffirm their overflowing feelings for someone special.
Savor its uniquely uplifting sensation that’s more than just sweet, and listen while thinking of your beloved.
Prayer FlowerHirai Dai
A warm mid-tempo number by Dai Hirai that delivers overflowing feelings for someone special, as if handing them a bouquet of flowers.
Centered on themes of prayer and healing, its bittersweet yet gentle melody resonates deeply with listeners.
Released as his debut single in October 2011, it was later included on the album “ALOHA.” Its message, which offered comfort to people’s anxieties in the aftermath of the earthquake, struck a chord with many, and in 2020 he produced a self-cover version featuring strings—proof that it remains a beloved classic.
On White Day, when you want to express the gratitude you’re usually too shy to say out loud, listening to this song will surely help the words flow straight from the heart.
