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!

Songs with titles that start with “De.” Great for karaoke or shiritori hints! (231–240)

modelMr.Children

It’s a song by Mr.Children that features a relaxed, laid-back rhythm with touches of R&B and soul.

It was included as the B-side to “Everything (It’s you).” The lyrics depict the glamorous profession of a model admired by those around her, along with the pain required to sustain that image.

It portrays the struggle with the disconnect from society that comes with living as a model, as well as the determination to aim to be the best in the world, even when left completely alone.

DearMs. OOJA

Dear – Ms.OOJA (with lyrics)
DearMs. OOJA

If you want to express your gratitude to a partner you want to stay with even after graduation, I recommend “Dear,” sung by Ms.OOJA.

It’s included on her major debut album “VOICE,” released in 2011.

It’s an R&B-style ballad showcasing Ms.OOJA’s assured vocal prowess and is one of the most popular songs among her fans.

The lyrics fit any recipient—friends, lovers, or family—so it’s perfect for conveying heartfelt thanks that might feel a bit embarrassing to say out loud.

DESTINYMy Little Lover

A gem of a love song that eloquently portrays sweet yet bittersweet feelings of love.

Released in May 1998 as My Little Lover’s 11th single, it was also chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “WITH LOVE,” becoming a major talking point.

Akko’s delicate vocals beautifully capture the fateful encounter with a loved one and the depth of their bond.

The lyrics, which liken the subtle nuances of a love that feels “farther the closer you get” to an ocean’s ever-shifting emotions, leave a lasting impression on listeners’ hearts.

It’s a perfect track for when you want to reminisce about your first love or reaffirm your feelings for someone special.

Delayed BrainNUMBER GIRL

NUMBER GIRL’s “Delayed Brain” feels like putting the jumbled scenery inside your head straight into words.

It’s included on their 2002 album NUM-HEAVYMETALLIC.

The band’s performance, which gives off an ennui-laden mood, together with vocalist Shutoku Mukai’s voice, evokes a mind so overwhelmed that fatigue has begun to show.

That flowing sound seems to sit close to the listener’s heart and gently soothe its wounds.

It’s a song I recommend for those times when you’re completely worn out, body and soul.

NewJeans is a five-member South Korean girl group that debuted in July 2022.

Their signature is a retro yet fresh sound that incorporates elements of 1990s–2000s pop and R&B.

With their debut tracks “Attention” and “Hype Boy,” their distinctive musicality and style were highly praised, quickly drawing attention in the K-pop scene.

In 2023, they released hits like “Ditto” and “OMG,” and won Artist of the Year at a Korean music awards show—a first for a girl group in 12 years.

Another appealing aspect is that the members don’t have fixed positions, allowing for flexible performances.

They are a group distinguished by cool choreography and fresh, highly refined musicality.

ONE N’ ONLY is a male vocal unit gaining popularity with a K-pop-inspired sound.

They’re a unit that branched out as a project from Ebisu Gakuen Boys Club.

Their new track is “Departure.” Genre-wise, it feels like a blend of trap with K-pop, and the flow and drop also give off a drill vibe.

Though their position is similar to that of idols, their musicality is solid, so even hip-hop fans should enjoy it.

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese rock band now active on the global stage.

Their musicality keeps getting sharper, and at this point there’s no difference in overall vibe compared to Western rock bands.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “Delusion:All.” Released in July 2024, it’s captivating for its sense of speed and high-tone vocals.

It’s not an overly heavy rock track, so you can comfortably enjoy the soaring high parts.
