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!

Thisman's bluesRubin

Formed in 2012.

They became a three-piece band in 2015 and are still active today.

You could say their musical orientation leans toward an alternative vibe—more like a mature, understated band.

They carry a distinctive aura that’s rarely found in the indie scene, and I think they’re doing great work.

At first it just sounds like an energetic rock tune, but if you follow the lyrics, I think you’ll see what makes it so fun.

It’s the opening theme for the gag anime “Chio’s School Road,” which features high school girls commuting to and from school, and it’s sung by the main characters who appear in the show.

Seriously, the song has a really cool vibe, but the phrase at the end of the chorus is totally wild.

It almost feels like everything up to that point is just a setup so they can shout that line at the top of their lungs.

Don’t worry about the pitch—just sing it with lots of energy and have fun.
