A roundup of songs with titles starting with 'Da' (Dai-〇〇, Diamond, etc.)

When you think of songs that start with “da,” what words come to mind?

You might think, “It’s a voiced hiragana syllable, so there probably aren’t many…,” but there are actually plenty: words like “Dai— (Big/Great —),” “Diamond,” “Dare (Who),” and “Datte (Because/Even if),” among others.

What’s more, these are exactly the kinds of words that often appear in song titles.

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of songs with titles that start with “da,” including the examples above and many more.

Use it as a handy resource for ‘shiritori karaoke’ or ‘song title shiritori’!

This song, “Taishta Koto Demo,” is distinguished by its refreshing melody.

The tune is pop, but the reggae-like rhythm keeps it engaging and never boring.

It’s musically intriguing and a wonderful piece overall, so please give it a listen.

Released in 2008, it’s one of the earliest tracks from the initial days of the Vocaloid scene.

DIVERfurenzu

A pop-tinged track where vocalist Emii Okamoto’s voice matches perfectly.

With a rhythmic accompaniment and light, airy guitar, it’s an easy listen.

It suits a grown-up summer night and lets you sink into a pleasantly crafted lyrical world.

Fun and never tiring—definitely one for repeat.

Princess Princess 'Diamonds <Diamond>'

This was Princess Princess’s seventh single, released in April 1989.

It also appeared in a Sony cassette tape commercial and became the band’s first No.

1 on the Oricon singles chart.

The band’s vocalist, Kaori Okui, has a slightly husky, raspy tone that’s very appealing, so even if you’re not great with high notes, singing this in the original key at karaoke shouldn’t be too difficult.

The melody itself is easy to sing casually as well, so when you perform it at karaoke, listen closely to the snare drum in the backing track and be careful not to let your vocal rhythm become monotonous.

BERRY GOODMAN is a three-member vocal group that delivers warm, heartfelt songs.

The song I’m introducing, “Diamond,” is a motivational anthem filled with real feelings, created by collecting messages and stories from people working hard in sports and turning them into lyrics.

It was also selected as the campaign song for the McDonald’s Tournament, a youth rubber baseball championship.

There are times when you practice every day with the baseball gear your parents bought you and still lose the game.

But this song teaches us that it’s precisely that effort that truly matters—a genuine classic.

A song I especially want you to listen to when times are tough is “Daijoubu” by BENI GOODMAN.

It aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” in 2019 and became a hot topic.

It’s not a song about illness, but it gently wraps around those who are suffering alone.

Regardless of the type or severity of an illness, I think many people carry their burdens in silence, unable to tell anyone.

There are nights when the anxiety becomes overwhelming and you can’t sleep.

In those moments, please give this song a listen.

Released in September 2022 by Polkadot Stingray, a four-piece guitar rock band from Fukuoka, “Diver” is a moving song that portrays a journey of deep self-reflection and growth.

It was chosen as the theme song for the pro gaming league RAGE Shadowverse Pro League 21-22.

The track carries a message about the importance of believing in yourself and moving forward positively, even in the face of adversity.

Also noteworthy is Shizuku’s distinctive, characterful vocal performance riding on a unique rhythm.

Its cross-genre musicality—spanning pop, jazz, and electronic—is another major draw.

It’s an uplifting, motivating anthem that we hope everyone chasing their dreams will listen to.

This song was included on Maximum the Hormone’s first mini-album “Hou,” and a re-recorded version later appeared on their major-label debut single “Rock Bankuruwase.” The “WHU” at the beginning is an abbreviation of the (sub)title “Washikate Honma wa Uretainjai” (“I really do wanna make it,” lol).

Some people sing Hormone at karaoke, but it’s tough, right? This track is difficult overall too—packed full of that signature Hormone style.
