An idea collection of Western songs to color Valentine’s Day: tracks related to chocolate

GiftThe Blue

The Gift

How about sending some heartwarming music along with your gift? “Gift,” sung by the UK four-piece group Blue, is just right for a present to someone special—just as the title suggests.

Interestingly, the song was written especially for them by Noriyuki Makihara, who later self-covered it as “Boku ga Ichiban Hoshikatta Mono” (“The Thing I Wanted Most”).

The group’s beautiful four-part harmonies and approachable melody come together to create a deeply moving ballad.

Released as a single in December 2003, it was also beloved as the theme song for Sumitomo Life’s “LIVE ONE Rescue OK” commercial.

It’s famous as a wedding standard, and it’s also a great pick for expressing love and gratitude on Valentine’s Day.

Taylor Swift – Lover (Official Music Video)

This is a song I especially want people with a boyfriend or girlfriend—anyone in a relationship—to listen to.

Its lyrics and melody capture the tender feelings that come from sharing everyday life together, while subtly holding a touch of uncertainty beneath the surface.

It’s a perfect fit for the warmth of Valentine’s Day.

Please give it a listen, feel the connection, and have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.
