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!

SARM – D♡VE QUEEN (Lyric Video)
D♡VE QUEENSARM

SARM, an Osaka-born artist who can sing a wide range of styles rooted in jazz and blues.

Her fashion, fused with her music, has earned recognition overseas, and her live shows in Taiwan, Thailand, and Australia were a big success! Her track “BONBON GIRL” was even selected as a NEXT Break Song by J-WAVE, so she may be on the verge of a major breakthrough.

“D♡VE QUEEN,” which is gaining views on her video channel, uses “D♡VE” as a playful coined word that combines “dove” and “love,” showing off her mischievous side.

Once you hear it, you’ll surely be drawn in by her famed “diamond voice.”

DepartureSCANDAL

DepartureSCANDAL

The four-member girls’ rock band SCANDAL released “Departure” in 2014.

This song is the first for which the members handled both lyrics and composition, and it’s a love song that conveys a faint, bittersweet feeling that tightens the chest.

She’s likely thinking of the boyfriend she broke up with and will never see again; the memory of viewing the night cherry blossoms left an especially vivid impression on her heart, and every time she sees those blossoms, every time that season comes, she’s reminded of him.

The title “Departure” carries meanings like “setting out from where you are” and “departure,” which conveys her intention to bring closure to her own heart.

Death DiscoSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「Death Disco」
Death DiscoSEKAI NO OWARI

An unusual song for SEKAI NO OWARI, who usually have many refreshing tracks.

The lyrics, which rattle off, “There’s no such thing as God for atheists, right? Then what exactly is justice?” are brimming with anger.

Because it’s such a catchy tune, that anger doesn’t leave a negative impression—maybe that’s part of Sekai no Owari’s appeal.

Be sure to check out the lyrics, too!

dead endSEKAI NO OWARI

This song brilliantly captures the emotions of standing at a crossroads in life.

Released in March 2024, it was chosen as the theme song for Fuji-Q Highland’s “ZOKKON.” The lyrics tell a story of looking back on the past, holding onto the beauty found there, and resolving to move forward again.

It’s a track you should listen to precisely when you’re exhausted and have hit a dead end.

It will surely give you the courage to take a new step.

Date planSHISHAMO

This is a song by SHISHAMO that portrays a girl trying to get even a little closer to the person she loves.

Throughout the song, her worries are expressed—how she should act to be worthy of the one she loves, whether she has to push herself to get closer, and so on.

The light sound propelled by a bouncy rhythm also feels like an expression of the part of herself that can’t quite grow up.

Even as she gets hurt, she keeps trying little by little to approach the one she loves, making it a song that gives courage when it comes to love.

Dear WOMANSMAP

SMAP’s classic “Dear WOMAN,” also known as a Shiseido commercial song, is distinguished by its catchy, easy-to-remember melody.

Loved by people of all ages, it’s also a karaoke staple! The lyrics are filled with important messages that boost self-esteem, resonating with many listeners.

Why not enjoy this song—packed with the group’s rich individuality and power—at your next karaoke session? It’s sure to get everyone fired up together.

This Is loveSMAP

SMAP’s 45th single, from the group that sadly disbanded in 2016.

It was the theme song for “SMAP×SMAP” at the time, right? I heard the song was actually provided by the music duo Love Psychedelico.

When you listen to it, you can kind of feel their vibe, can’t you? Their self-cover is also really good, so definitely give it a listen.
