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! (421–430)

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)

Ohta’s clear, transparent voice further elevates the song’s world.

In December 2008, a complete box set including this track was released, prompting a renewed appreciation of its charm.

It’s a perfect song for anyone who wants to savor that nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere or empathize with the emotions of a woman struggling with love.

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.
