Lovely karaoke song

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.” Handy for karaoke and shiritori! (391–400)

This is their second single, released in 1989 under the name Jiro Sakagami and Unicorn, with UNICORN welcoming Jiro Sakagami as a guest vocalist.

The title “Day Game” refers, of course, to a baseball game held during the day, and the song was originally produced as a theme for a baseball anime.

Although that tie-in unfortunately never came to fruition, the track conveys the baseball love of guitarist Isamu Teshima, a devoted fan of the sport.

Recitals – “Dejavina (Japanese ver.)” [Official Music Video]

Recitals is a group consisting of three members from Tokai On Air: Tetsuya, Shibayu, and Toshimitsu.

Their catchy melodies paired with Shibayu’s outlandish lyrics create a perfectly quirky charm.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is “Dejavina (Japanese ver.).” While it features a stylish, K-pop-inspired melody, Shibayu’s over-the-top lyrics create a striking contrast that makes it truly unique.

Definitely try singing it at a drinking party or get-together.

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.

The track by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS is a dance-pop number that conveys a commitment to continually evolving toward the future.

Its intro and chorus phrases are striking, and the lyrics, which incorporate a rose motif, resonate deeply.

It portrays an attitude of never settling for the status quo and relentlessly pursuing ideals, conveying a sense of growth that comes after overcoming challenges and inner conflict.

Released as a digital single on November 6, 2024, it serves as the lead track for the album “ECHOES of DUALITY,” out on November 13.

The music video paints a fantastical world set in the theme park “JSB BASE,” and features a new performance born from a collaboration with world-renowned choreographer Sienna Lalau.

It’s a perfect song for those who want to be true to themselves and embrace change without fear in order to grow.

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.
