In Japan, Valentines day is the time for girls to give chocolates to people that are important to them. Thus, the onslaught of chocolate overload in every store you pass by the streets of Japan. But a chocolate is considered really special if the girl would make it on her own and hand it to person personally. For high-school students, this is indeed a very important day to show their affections to their “crushes” or boyfriends.
In return, “White Day” is the time of year wherein boys will need to give gifts to girls. This is the time for guys to give back something in return for the chocolates they received during Valentines.
Watch this video on Arashi, a Japanese boy band, related their Valentines stories upon receiving their chocolates. Don’t worry, the video has english subtitles and are absolutely cute! It sure makes me want to go back to high school ^^
