Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

A Featured Collection of Western Songs to Hear on White Day: Tracks as Sweet as Sweets (61–70)

You & MeGunna and Chlöe

You & MeGunna and Chlöe

“You & Me” is a love song by American rapper Gunna and singer-songwriter Chlöe.

The standout element is the backing track: the rapid 16th-note hi-hat pattern gives it a stylish, modern vibe that reflects the influence of contemporary trap music.

In the latter half, the tempo slows down into a more laid-back section, instantly creating a sweet, romantic mood.

Why not play this track for a tender White Day moment?

The ReasonHoobastank

When you make a mistake in a romantic relationship, putting your remorse into a song might leave room to mend things.

This track is a love song in which the singer admits their faults toward a love that has ended and repeatedly vows to be reborn as a new person just for you.

It’s not pessimistic at all—rather, it’s a refreshing piece that carries positive emotions on its sound.

Depending on the situation, choosing a song like this could be a good idea.

HYBS – Go Higher (Official Video)

Go HigherHYBS

HYBS is a male duo representing Thailand’s pop scene known as T-POP.

Their city pop-inspired track “Go Higher,” which fits right in with the city pop revival boom happening in Japan, is perfect for when you’re in the mood for something a little different.

The song offers a fresh sound with uniquely T-POP elements you won’t find in Japanese or Western music, like its distinctive synthesizer tones and the way the vocals are layered with echo.

The music video’s surreal vibe is laugh-out-loud funny too, and could make for great entertainment if you’re spending White Day at home.

Are You Gonna Be My GirlJet

Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl (Official Music Video)

Are You Gonna Be My GirlJet

A song released in 2003 by the Australian rock band Jet.

It’s been used on many romantic movie soundtracks, and in Japan some people may recognize it from an iPod commercial.

Lyrically, it’s about the singer’s crush accepting another guy’s date invitation, but what stands out is how that theme rides on a cool, upbeat sound.

The assertive line of “Don’t go out with a guy like that—be my girl instead” gives it a masculine edge, which might actually make it an unexpectedly effective choice for White Day.

John Legend, an R&B singer known for hit songs like “All of Me” and “Dope (feat.

JID).” His “All She Wanna Do ft.

Saweetie” is a dance track you’ll want to play when you want to get pumped up.

The intro begins like a ballad, with his signature whispery, sweet vocals.

But then it suddenly shifts into a dance vibe—that’s the fun twist of this song.

I’d love to spend White Day with someone special, letting loose to the song’s funky rhythm!

Editorial Policy

From the perspective of an active club DJ, I’ve selected Western music suitable for White Day that gives back heartfelt feelings, focusing on tracks that convey gratitude, kindness, and a hint of shyness, all grounded in the vibe cultivated on the dance floor. These are warm, emotionally resonant numbers with melodies that aren’t overly sweet yet linger in the heart, gently accompanying time spent with someone special or a night that leaves a lasting afterglow.
