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.

DAYBREAKotoko
This classic song, released as a single in 1988, blends a passionate rock sound with a powerful message, showcasing Otokogumi’s dual identity as both idols and a rock band to the fullest.
Expressing the resolve to embark on a new beginning with a loved one and the joy of overcoming loneliness to be reunited, the track topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and ranked fourth on the year-end chart.
Demonstrating their talent from their debut, they won Best New Artist at the 30th Japan Record Awards that same year.
The song was also used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Otokodarō!” and the film “Rock Yo, Shizuka ni Nagareyo,” and it appears on the albums “NEW BEST Otokogumi” and “HIT COLLECTION.” While strongly rock-oriented, its passionate, message-driven lyrics are relatable to all genders, and with a generally lower key and not overly demanding vocals, it’s a perfect choice for anyone who wants to sing it with heartfelt emotion.
DSTMONE OR EIGHT
An ambitious track by ONE OR EIGHT that boldly samples Rihanna’s classic “Don’t Stop The Music.” With its modern hip-hop beats and catchy rap and melodies, this song hints at new possibilities for pop music.
The music video—featuring a sci-fi, cinematic world—is a must-see.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to share in the love of music or get an energy boost from dance tunes!
The Song of DevilmanJuda Keizō
The opening theme of a popular anime powerfully portrays a protagonist who, despite wielding demonic powers, fights for justice, brought to life by Keizo Toda’s husky vocals.
The chorus repeats the hero’s signature finishing moves, which became the envy of children and a hit on playgrounds.
With lyrics by Yū Aku and music by Go Misawa, the song was created as the opening theme for an anime that began airing in July 1972.
Re-released in September 2004, it has grown into a classic beloved across generations.
Its weighty orchestral sound and memorable melodic lines deliver stirring impact and exhilaration.
Highly recommended for fans of justice-driven heroes and those who want to revisit nostalgic Showa-era anime songs.
deco gradationnekomata okayu
I’m drawn to its languid, ennui-tinged rock sound.
This work fully showcases Okayu Nekomata’s individuality, wrapping melodiousness in a dark atmosphere.
Released in March 2025 as an advance single from the album “Perso-nya ~Respect,” it was written, composed, and arranged by the popular Vocaloid producer Inabakumori.
Perhaps because the lyrics delicately portray the subtleties of human relationships, you can’t help but find yourself listening intently.
It’s the perfect track for when you want to face the complex emotions within your heart.
Ding DongZoo
ZOO was a music group that was hugely active in the 1990s.
In Japan, they helped popularize black contemporary music, gaining popularity with a sound that made what was then an uncommon genre catchy and accessible.
Among ZOO’s songs, one I especially recommend is “Ding Dong.” While the song has fairly pronounced dynamic nuances, they are primarily expressive rather than driven by volume, which stays relatively steady, so it’s not overly difficult.
The vocal range is also narrow, so if you lock into the rhythm and pitch, you can aim for a high score at karaoke.
Devil-chanpicco
This track is a high-energy electropop piece swirling with mischievous, devilish emotions.
It’s a work by picco, released in February 2024.
Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals shine against the polished soundscape, and the lyrics go all-in on the desire to devote yourself to the one you love.
Being able to fall this hard in love is wonderful, isn’t it? It’s a perfect song for those who want to share the fluttery feelings of a girl in love or for anyone who enjoys highly addictive music.
Digital MagicalNatsuyama Yotsugi
It’s an electronic number with a magical worldview.
Created by Yotsugi Natsuyama and released in February 2025, it was unveiled alongside a version sung by VTuber Kyoka Mone.
Riding on a pop melody line, it sings of the wish to “have you look only at me,” and the fast-paced arrangement makes it feel as if the protagonist’s emotions are flowing straight into your heart.
Especially if you’re a teenager, you’ll probably relate to these feelings!
