So in this article, I’ll introduce songs that start with “ba” to give you some hints for shiritori karaoke!

When it comes to words that start with “ba,” there are lots that sound like they could be in song titles, such as “Bye-bye,” “Bara (rose),” and “Butterfly.”

The classic song that sings of roses blooming in a heartwarming garden was released in 1966 by Mike Maki.

It’s a folk song that, while simple, conveys a deep sense of affection.

Its gentle melody—like flowers blooming in a garden where you can feel the transition from spring to summer—is also part of its charm.

This work was Mike Maki’s debut song, included on “Bara ga Saita/Mike Maki no Folk Album,” and since September 2016 it has also been used as the departure melody at JR East’s Ishioka Station on the Joban Line.

The tender vocals and melody are perfect for music recreation time with seniors.

Along with nostalgic memories, it offers a soothing, peaceful moment.

A quintessential number of the 2000s that shines a light on fervent fan culture has arrived from Jinkaku Radio.

Marked by a light, poppy melody and vocals that are both powerful and delicate, this work portrays the heated atmosphere of live venues and cheers overflowing with pure feeling—an iconic song of the visual kei scene.

Gaining support as a hidden gem thanks to its distinctive approach, it was released as a limited-edition CD at a one-man show in November 2006.

Though it was venue-only and hard to obtain, its rarity makes it all the more alluring to fans.

The lyrics, depicting the earnest dedication of lining up at the merch booth and waiting through wind and rain, and the devoted love for the artist, will resonate with anyone who holds a straightforward passion for music.

BALLADHamasaki Ayumi

For women in their 30s, Ayumi Hamasaki is the quintessential artist of their generation.

However, if you have a lower voice, you might feel her songs are challenging because of their wide vocal range.

That’s why I recommend “BALLAD.” As the title suggests, it’s a classic ballad, but unusually for an Ayumi Hamasaki song, it’s sung within a relatively narrow range.

The tempo is also slow, giving you plenty of time to prepare for the next entrance.

It’s sure to get a great response when you sing it in front of people from the same generation, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
