Songs with titles that start with 'de'. Perfect as hints for karaoke or shiritori!

Have you ever played “Shiritori Karaoke,” where you link songs in karaoke using the last letter of the previous song, or “Song Title Shiritori,” where you play using only the song titles?

In karaoke, it’s great when your go-to songs start feeling repetitive, and for regular shiritori, it’s perfect when you want to raise the difficulty.

You’ll end up singing songs you don’t usually pick, and sometimes you can’t think of a title, which really livens things up!

So in this article, to help you out in those moments, I’ll introduce songs with titles that start with “de.”

I hope this helps everyone have a fun time together!

Mao Sasagawa – Therefore, I Was Scorched
So, I got sunburned.Sasagawa Mao

With catchy hooks and a uniquely twisted sound that resonate with contemporary hyperpop, coupled with introspective lyrics and a naïve vocal delivery, this track leaves a powerful impression on listeners.

“Therefore, It’s Burned” by the singular singer-songwriter Mao Sasagawa—often hailed as a maverick—embodies the title of their April 2025 album, “STRANGE POP,” and was released in March of the same year as a pre-album single.

The effect-processed vocals and electro beats take a different approach from typical J-pop and may feel intimidating to those unfamiliar with it, but listeners accustomed to Vocaloid will likely find it approachable.

The melody itself is pop and surprisingly easy to sing, so once you grasp the song’s structure, you can definitely pull it off at karaoke.
