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 starting with “de”. Great for karaoke or shiritori hints! (241–250)

DEAR FRIENDSPERSONZ

This is a signature song by PERSONZ that celebrates the importance of friendship.

JILL’s powerful vocals and the melodic rock sound really strike a chord.

Released in February 1989, it quickly became famous after being chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Mamahaha Boogie.” The lyrics, which portray the warmth of bonds and mutual support between friends, are especially compelling, and just listening to it gives you courage.

It’s a must-listen not only for those nostalgic for their youth, but also for young people currently struggling with friendship.

Belt it out with friends at karaoke, and your bonds are sure to grow even stronger.

DANGER ZONEPINK JAGUAR

At the time, the idol group Saint Four was extremely popular.

Six months after they disbanded, Pink Jaguar was formed—a duo consisting of Noriko Hamada and Yukie Suzuki.

In contrast to Saint Four, whose songs largely reflected the then-trendy pop sound, Pink Jaguar took a decidedly more rock-oriented approach.

They continued their activities, diving headlong into the music world as musicians—shifting away from gravure idol work and even taking on songwriting and composition.

In 1989, they officially formed a band called CHABACCO together with members of the backing band who had previously supported them.

This LifePay money To my Pain

A four-piece rock band formed in 2005 that has earned overwhelming support in the loud rock scene.

The vocalist, K, passed away suddenly in 2012, and the band has been on hiatus since.

However, they have continued to perform at several events with guest vocalists, moving many fans.

Loved by countless rock fans and musicians alike, their songs are rooted in loud rock and hardcore, yet they skillfully switch between K’s beautiful singing voice and an aggressive, contrasting shout, allowing beauty and intensity to coexist.

Many of their tracks also feature lyrics that appeal directly to the emotions, and listening to their music can really fill your heart.

If you’re in a setting where going all-in on a gag is acceptable, this is an anisong I’d love to see the guys take on! “Daydream café,” famous for sparking a boom that turned the phrase “kokoro pyon pyon” into an internet meme, was released as the theme song for the popular 2014 TV anime Is the Order a Rabbit?.

Performed by the unit Petit Rabbit’s, made up of the main characters’ voice cast, the song features lyrics by Aki Hata—arguably the most renowned and prolific lyricist in the anisong world—and composition by Kaoru Ōkubo, another creator behind many anisong classics.

True to the show’s image, Daydream café is a wonderfully cute, charming, and sparkling track.

Hata’s signature wordplay really shines when you try singing it at karaoke, letting you appreciate its flavor even more.

And if a male group is going to sing it, as I mentioned at the start, make sure to mind the time and place—and then hop to it!

Songs with titles that start with “De.” Handy for karaoke and shiritori! (251–260)

DTMK FuturePolysics

The techno band POLYSICS, which continues to captivate listeners with its one-of-a-kind worldview, makes music that feels futuristic.

“DTMK Mirai” is included on their 2015 release “HEN Ai LET’S GO!”, and its lyrics express a fondness for datemaki (a sweet rolled omelet).

Alongside their distinctive synth sounds, the rock-driven performance really elevates the energy.

By listening to a brand-new genre unlike anything before, you might gain ideas and inspiration for the future.

Ding DongPRINCESS PRINCESS

With the distant sound of bells carrying the scent of the Christmas season, “Ding Dong.” It’s included on Princess Princess’s fourth album, LOVERS, released in 1989 by the band that defined the ’80s girls’ band scene.

Despite its bright, member-distinctive feel, it’s actually a poignant rock number about spending Christmas alone.

The way it contrasts this year with last year’s Christmas spent with a lover feels strikingly real—and so relatable.

Crank it up loud and blast the loneliness away!
