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! (421–430)

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.

DESTINYMatsutōya Yumi

“DESTINY,” included on Yumi Matsutoya’s eighth album Kanasui hodo Otenki, released on December 1, 1979, is a song where a love one was trying to give up on turns out to be something they were secretly looking forward to—dressing up just in case they might meet, only for it to be precisely that one time when… Though it should feel heartbreaking, it carries a gentle softness that makes you want to smile, and despite being a sad love song, it mysteriously leaves you feeling healed.

It’s the theme song of the movie “Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness.” It was released in 1998 as Yumi Matsuzawa’s fifth single.

She sings in a way that clearly conveys the meaning of the lyrics.

The phrase “single-minded devotion” seems like a perfect fit for its content, doesn’t it?

Here’s the dance number released in 2011 as Tomomi Itano’s solo debut single from AKB48.

The track is distinguished by its edgy rhythm, while the melody is fragmentary and modulates partway through, giving the impression that even slightly loose pitch or a less precise delivery would be acceptable.

Try singing it with as sweet, whispery a voice as possible.

A singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture who began her career in 2014.

She started out performing acoustic sets in her hometown, steadily building skill and popularity, and embarked on a nationwide tour in 2018.

She made her major-label debut in 2020 with “Shukkō Biyori” (Fair Weather for Setting Sail).

One of her greatest charms is her clear, transparent voice.

Having put in solid groundwork, she has walked the singer-songwriter path step by step.

I believe 2020 will be a breakthrough year for her, so keep an eye on her!

Chisato Moritaka has had a successful career as a singer, releasing a variety of popular songs.

Many people may not know that she actually plays the drums.

What’s more, she sings while playing the drums, which is even more surprising.

She was in a band during her school days and reportedly played not only drums but also bass back then.

It’s said that on her albums, she performs most of the instruments herself in addition to the drums.

Mirin Shiino’s “Duree” is a track released in January 2024.

Its multilayered sound invites listeners into philosophical reflection.

Luscious yet at times razor-sharp lyrics probe the theme of a heart wavering between public and private selves.

In a delicate voice, the song weaves the search for how individuals reconcile themselves with society.

It promises a stimulating experience, especially for young people pursuing self-expression.

Give it a listen.
