Valentine’s Day in japan is called White Day, the holiday falls is celebrated on March 14 every year. White Day is very much popular in Japan and many people participate in this holiday. http://www.whatisall.com/entertainment/what-is-white-day.html

Koichi, I feel like you’d be way more likely to get honmei-choco from your female readers than cho-giri-choko.
Also, I kind of like the Japanese idea of Valentine’s better, because I feel like there’s not quite so much competition, and you don’t have to worry about getting someone you love something too unique (a lot of people I know here would think just giving someone chocolate on Valentine’s would be a cop-out). Plus it’s nice to have it broken up into two holidays, because that way nobody spends more than the other person (in theory). I know a lot of people worry about how much money to spend on someone’s Valentine’s gift because if they spend much more or less than the other person, it gets awkward.

i remember seeing about valentines day and white day in a detective conan episode (that is my drug,) but since white day was the week of the of the biggest earthquake japan has ever had, does that mean we will have to wait a year to read more about white day?
