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.” Helpful for karaoke or shiritori! (351–360)

Departure ~Our Road~raira P

“Departure ~Our Path~,” crafted by Laila P, blends the excitement and bittersweet feelings of graduation—a brand-new start—with a buoyant melody.

The lively rhythm in the chorus, in particular, is sure to give you the courage to take your first step.

Meanwhile, the guitar’s warm, soothing tone gently wraps treasured memories and warms the heart.

It’s also great to sing together while reflecting on your gratitude for friends and teachers from your school days.

The thoughtful, heartfelt lyrics beautifully capture both the sorrow of parting and the hope for the next step.

It’s got a rhythm that makes you want to clap along! It’s a dance-rock number by the Vocaloid producer Aowifi, released in 2019.

The groove is irresistible, and before you know it, your body starts swaying on its own.

Yet the melody and the finer details of the arrangement carry a mature touch, making it a work with depth that goes beyond simply calling it a “groovy song.”

Angela Aki “This Love” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
This LoveAnjura Aki

This is Angela Aki’s fourth single in total, released in May 2006.

It was used as the ending theme for the anime BLOOD+, and around the same time it was also aired in commercials as the Japanese image song for the nationwide Toho-distributed Korean film Daisy.

The song itself is a grand ballad that makes highly effective use of string arrangements, and over that backing track, Angela Aki’s performance shines with a beautifully rendered contrast in her vocal delivery.

To express this “contrast in singing,” it’s essential to switch appropriately and smoothly between chest voice, mixed voice, and falsetto.

It’s a challenging song, but definitely try practicing and mastering it.

Anyuseless “DAYS” MV
DAYSanyuusuresu

Any Useless is a five-piece rock band from Osaka.

Their song “DAYS,” which has been gaining attention mainly on social media like Instagram, is a one-sided-love track highlighted by a gentle, appealing vocal.

The biggest draw is the lyrics: the choice of words feels so real and relatable, like something straight out of everyday life.

While poetic lyrics with a fantastical worldview can be great, lyrics written in down-to-earth language like in this song can really hit you in the heart.

The performance is also refreshing despite its mid-tempo pace, so that’s another aspect worth paying attention to when you listen.

A gem of a song by Elephant Kashimashi that vividly portrays the subtleties of life.

Hiroji Miyamoto’s distinctive vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

The protagonist’s determination to overcome hardship and forge a new path is powerfully expressed.

Released as a single in June 2014, it was also used as the theme song for a TBS drama.

Among Elephant Kashimashi’s long musical career, this is a particularly memorable work.

Highly recommended for anyone standing at a crossroads in life and seeking the courage to move forward.

DeedeElefanto Kashimashi

Released in March 1988, this is Elephant Kashimashi’s debut single.

It is also included on their first album, THE ELEPHANT KASHIMASHI, released on the same day.

Although Elephant Kashimashi is often associated with debuting in the late 1990s, the band was actually formed when the members were in junior high school, and to this day they continue their activities as a four-piece including the original members.

This soul-stirring song is a work that could only come from Hiroji Miyamoto, whose career as a musician spans many years.
