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.

Songs with titles that start with “De.” Hints for karaoke and shiritori! (201–210)
Day by DayGReeeeN
The song “Day by Day,” which has multiple tie-ins including serving as the theme song for Fukushima TV’s L-Ban Super News coverage of the Fukushima Prefectural High School Baseball Tournament, is a track from the first album “Ah, Hello Nice to Meet You.” Its ensemble, featuring a lively piano tone, really sticks in your ears.
Although it’s challenging due to its wide vocal range and fast melodic flow, it might be relatively approachable since there aren’t many drastic pitch jumps.
It’s a refreshing pop tune that we’d love for you to sing with a friend handling the chorus work—even if you’re performing solo.
D.N.A.Girls2×iScream
“D.N.A.” is a song with a powerful message that encourages self-discovery and self-expression.
Released digitally on April 30, 2024, it is the second collaborative single by Girls² and iScream.
The lyrics convey a determination to trust your inner strength and keep moving forward.
It’s a heartfelt, motivational anthem that we especially hope younger listeners will hear—so be sure to check it out! The MV’s energetic dance performance is also a must-see!
DepartureGraupel
The hottest band in the domestic metalcore scene is Graupel—pronounced “Grau-pel.” Though young, their technique and the meticulously crafted quality of their songwriting are undeniable.
You could say they encapsulate everything that makes metalcore compelling: deft shifts between speed and heaviness, scream vocals that lay emotions bare, and a fusion of loud, crushing sound with catchy melodies.
Also noteworthy is their complex yet fluid chord work, influenced by post-black metal.
Deep Sleep SheepHACHI
I’d like to introduce “Deep Sleep Sheep,” a groove-filled track that portrays heartbreak.
It’s a release by HACHI, a singer who made her debut after gaining traction on a streaming app.
Set to a gentle, subdued melody, she delivers a soft, tender vocal performance.
The lyrics center on the theme of lost love, but instead of describing it outright, they use metaphor to express sorrow and futility.
Give it a listen with an ear for the richness of the phrasing.
dear DREAMERHIPPY
Hippy is a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
He served as the vocalist for the band maegashira, which was active from 2001 until it disbanded in 2011.
Since then, he has pursued a solo career.
In 2020, he drew attention for a collaboration with TEE on the track “dear DREAMER.” The song was inspired by former professional baseball player Tsuyoshi Shinjo’s attempt to return to pro baseball, and it was chosen as the theme song for the 2020 Summer Hiroshima Prefectural High School Baseball Tournament on Hiroshima Home TV.
EncounterHY
With its simple title, “Encounter,” I felt this song was a perfect fit to introduce in this article.
The lyrics can be understood as talking about a lover, but not only that—don’t you also have those meaningful encounters with friends, seniors, or mentors, where you feel, “Meeting this person changed my life or the way I see things”? Listening to this song brings up feelings of gratitude for those precious encounters and a desire to support the people who matter to you.
Dear My FriendsHi-STANDARD
Hi-STANDARD, a Japanese punk band that gained huge popularity in the ’90s.
Their song “Dear My Friends” is a classic that pairs a straightforward Hi-STANDARD-style beat with heartfelt feelings for dear friends.
In particular, lyrics like “It feels so good to be alive” and “I’m going to do things my own way” help turn the confusion of graduation into a positive outlook—that’s the charm of this track.
The lyrics are written in simple English, so singing along to lift your spirits is a great idea!
