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! (401–410)

Dekansho BushiTsuchitori Toshiyuki

Dekansho-bushi is a folk song handed down mainly in Tamba-Sasayama, Hyogo Prefecture.

Although it is sung during Bon Odori, in the Meiji era—when the song spread—it was performed as a “student song” at student gatherings and celebrations.

Because of this, a variety of interpretations and singing styles exist, and there are several theories about the meaning of the word “Dekansho.” The historical background is intriguing, but even within the piece itself, the mysterious, satisfying shout of “Dekkan-sho” brings out the charm of this folk song.

Digital MagicalNatsuyama Yotsugi

It’s an electronic number with a magical worldview.

Created by Yotsugi Natsuyama and released in February 2025, it was unveiled alongside a version sung by VTuber Kyoka Mone.

Riding on a pop melody line, it sings of the wish to “have you look only at me,” and the fast-paced arrangement makes it feel as if the protagonist’s emotions are flowing straight into your heart.

Especially if you’re a teenager, you’ll probably relate to these feelings!

The instant ramen song “Demae Icchō,” familiar from the commercial with the catchphrase “Ah~rayo, Demae Icchō~.” The phrase above was composed by Taro Kida, but the rest was composed by Eiichi Ohtaki.

It’s included on the album “NIAGARA CM SPECIAL.” Its buoyant bounce and smoothness make you want to skip along, and even though it’s very short, it’s packed with Eiichi Ohtaki’s signature style—utterly irresistible! Also worth noting are the anecdotes with Akio Omori, said to be the pioneer of “commercial songs,” or “komason.” Makes you crave a bowl of Demae Icchō…! (laughs)

Descojoōbachi

A standout track that really hits as a dance tune.

Avu-chan’s (Queen Bee’s) overwhelming vocal power truly shines.

It was included on their major-label debut release Kujaku in September 2011.

That same year, it was chosen as the main theme for the film Moteki, which created quite a buzz.

The “Play Disco” line in the chorus is especially memorable—you’ll find yourself humming it.

The song is infused with a desire to break free from conventional boundaries and reach for a new world.

It’s perfect for when you want to dance with high energy or lift your mood, and it’s also recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in Queen Bee’s unique world.
