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.

This is GoodbyeShimari Ju
It’s a transparent, tear-jerking graduation song.
Composed by Vocaloid producer Shimariyu, it was released in 2020.
This ballad resounds with beautiful string tones, and each note feels like it reaches deep into your heart.
GUMI’s powerful vocals match the song’s style perfectly.
The lyrics’ message—that it’s goodbye, but not the end—really hits home.
It’s a moving graduation song that makes you feel like you want to meet your friends and teachers again someday.
Daydream BelieverTeshima Aoi
Here is a truly luxurious cover by Aoi Teshima, known for theme songs from Studio Ghibli films.
Sung in an English-lyrics version with a piano-accompaniment arrangement, it’s a track whose unadorned, simple vocals slip gently into our hearts.
The bouncy piano rhythm makes it feel as if energy is welling up from deep within.
Dear My FriendMochida Kaori
Kaori Mochida is active both as a solo female singer and as the vocalist of the music unit Every Little Thing.
She’s an incredibly captivating singer with a slightly raspy, husky voice that contains many high overtones yet feels pleasantly airy.
In the song “Dear My Friend” featured here, you can fully enjoy her husky vocals, which combine clarity with warmth.
She’s a singer whose appeal lies in her piercing, powerful delivery that, despite the huskiness, never seems to strain her throat.
Daydream BelieverShin-yama Shiori
Daydream Believer sung by singer-songwriter Shiori Niiyama.
It’s a solo acoustic, one-guitar performance, and her husky voice really shines in this cover.
She’s a young-generation musician, but I think her appeal will reach a lot of people.
demigod-chanHoshiguma Minami Miko
Don’t you ever feel like listening to a song unlike anything you’ve heard before? That’s why I want to introduce “Silla DARKPOP.” It’s a track released by Minami Hoshiguma from the music group Wagamama Rakia, and she also wrote the lyrics and composed it.
The standout feature of this piece is its lyrics, which are sung in a “language that doesn’t exist in this world.” It sounds like Japanese and English yet like neither, with a peculiar cadence that becomes irresistibly catchy.
If you check the subtitles in the music video, you’ll indeed see a language you’ve never encountered before.
disarisaka mika
With a grounding in Black music and boasting exceptional vocal prowess, vocalist Mika Arisaka’s debut single also served as the theme song for the TV anime Infinite Ryvius.
From the intro alone—kicking off with weighty choral work—the track makes a huge impact and leaves a powerful impression as a modern classic.
The mid-song rap, too, reflects an arrangement style that captures the late ’90s, when genres like R&B and hip-hop were becoming widely listened to as part of J-pop.
The anime itself featured content that was shockingly emblematic of the very end of the ’90s era…
DEARESTTōhōshinki
When it comes to songs nurtured with heartfelt care, I’d definitely highlight TVXQ’s ballads.
Featured on the album “ZONE,” released in November 2024, this track is a special piece commemorating the group’s 20th anniversary.
It sings of moving forward while reflecting on the bond with a loved one and the transience of life.
The gentle, warm vocals seep into the heart and deeply move the listener.
It’s a song that stays by your side in emotionally stirring moments—when you stand at a crossroads in life or want to savor time with someone precious.
