Ah...yes. Shiroi Koibito（白い恋人...White Lovers）...commenter Brian Mitchell (who lives in Aomori Prefecture) and a lot of Japanese travelers ought to know the above wafer cookie very well. I even bought some of them myself as souvenirs. It's one of the more famous ones from the Tohoku area and it goes well with coffee or tea.
Now, I realize that it's Urban Contemporary Friday but when I was watching Jme earlier tonight, I was quickly reminded that March 14th is indeed White Day, the day when the guys give their own version of Valentine's Day chocolates to the gals at school or in the office. So it's a bit of a rush job and after looking out for the appropriate songs on this list, I just didn't want to throw all that out and wait until tomorrow, so the fifth slot today will be for songs that have the word "white" or "shiroi" in their titles.
(1969) Betsy & Chris -- Shiroi Iro wa Koibito no Iro （白い色は恋人の色）
(1969) Billy BanBan -- Shiroi Buranko（白いブランコ）
(1978) Mayumi Shibata -- Shiroi Page no Naka ni （白いページの中に）
(1986) Miho Nakayama -- Iro-White Blend （色・ホワイトブレンド）
(1996) Saruganseki -- Shiroi no Kumo no You ni （白い雲のように）
Did you give anything to anyone white day this year?
ReplyDeleteNope, we don't celebrate Valentine's Day or White Day in our family. How about you?
DeleteHello J-Canuck. I am sure you can kind of guess this but for anyone following the conversation who might not ..Both Valentine's Day, White Day, and Giri Choco(Obligation Chocolate) have become kind of like modern day traditions at the places I work at. So, just as with omiyage (souvenir culture) on white day I end up have to return chocolate or small tokens to staff that gave me something on Valentine's Day. I will do something for my Wife on Valentine day in western style.
DeleteHope the day went well for you and your family.
