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 hints for karaoke or shiritori! (41–50)

Dead Parody Dancedo~pamin

Dopamine - "Dead Parody Dance" feat. Hatsune Miku
Dead Parody Dancedo~pamin

An electroswing number that exposes society’s absurdity while keeping you dancing.

Created by Dōpamin, this track appears on the album “Candy Butler,” released at the event THE VOC@LOiD Cho M@STER 59 held at Makuhari Messe in April 2025.

Its sound blends bouncy rhythms with club-track beats, weaving in distinctive motifs like zombies and a slippery everyday life.

The meta, sardonic lyrics—framing “pretending to dance” as “pretending not to die”—really get you.

I think it will resonate with anyone living with contradictions in their daily life.

Leave it to Denziman!Narita Ken

This song, which played during the ending of 1980’s Denshi Sentai Denziman, is a passionate track with lyrics by Kazuo Koike, composition and arrangement by Chumei Watanabe, and vocals by Ken Narita.

The lyrics question how to confront the Vader clan that threatens Earth, and powerfully call out to viewers with the refrain, “Leave it to us.” The lively brass and vocoder-processed electronic sounds sonically embody the “electronic” in the show’s title, while Narita’s robust vocals captivate listeners from children to adults.

Released by Nippon Columbia in March as a single, it was paired with the opening theme “Aa Denshi Sentai Denziman.” It’s a classic recommended not only for kids who admire righteous heroes, but also for adults who fondly remember the fervor of tokusatsu’s golden era.

This Is LoveHi-STANDARD

In April 2000, just before going on hiatus, Hi-STANDARD released the mini-album “LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD,” and this track opens it.

In a brisk one minute and twenty seconds, it packs the band’s essence: breathless momentum and bittersweet, heart-tightening lyrics.

Its straightforward celebration of love that lasts forever powerfully moves anyone who listens.

The mini-album reached No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart, reflecting the intense attention it drew at the time.

It’s a powerful love song brimming with pure energy—perfect not only for reaffirming your feelings for someone special, but also for rekindling the passion to throw yourself into something.

DEEP SNOWniki

DEEP SNOW / niki feat. Hatsune Miku
DEEP SNOWniki

Amid a pure white snowy landscape, we move forward while harboring hope for the future.

It’s a grand, emotional piece that conjures such a scene.

Created by niki—renowned as the legendary Lily master—and released in February 2025, the song was written as the 10th anniversary theme for Snow Miku Sky Town inside New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido.

The interweaving layers of electronica and band sounds are superb, and Hatsune Miku’s crystalline voice delivers a soaring exhilaration like sprinting across a snowy plain.

It’s a track that gives a push to anyone seeking a challenge or ready to take a new step forward.

DESTINYnegoto

Negoto – DESTINY [Official Music Video]
DESTINYnegoto

The single released in June 2015, used as the ending theme for the TV anime Gintama°, is a track that epitomizes Negoto’s musical style.

Its synth sound rides on a groovy rhythm, complemented by Sachiko Aoyama’s transparent, airy vocals that resonate pleasantly.

Centered on the grand theme of fate, the lyrics portray a protagonist who, though uncertain, strives to move forward—something many listeners will relate to.

The keyword repeated in the chorus sticks in your head, giving the song an addictive quality that makes you want to play it again and again.

The track was later included on the album ETERNALBEAT and is known as a signature song from the period when Negoto fused danceable elements with their band sound.

It’s an emotional pop tune that combines a sense of speed with refreshing exhilaration.

DestinyInagaki Junichi

This song was included on the album HEART & SOUL, released in April 1989, and was used as the image song for JT’s “Sometime World Cup ’89.” Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics depict a fateful romance between two people setting off away from the city, carefully tracing emotions that sway between forbidden freedom, a sense of guilt, and love.

Vivid imagery—like a seaside station and a trap they’re falling into—creates a bittersweet yet romantic world.

Arranged by Akira Nishimoto, the layered sound of strings and saxophones, paired with Inagaki’s enveloping vocals, evokes the urbane sophistication characteristic of city pop.

It’s hard not to be moved by the story of two people drawn to each other while being buffeted by fate.

Departures ~A Song of Ai for You~EGOIST

EGOIST "Departures ~A Song of Love Dedicated to You~" Music Video (TV anime "Guilty Crown" first cour ending theme)
Departures ~A Song of Ai for You~EGOIST

A debut single from EGOIST that resonates with unreachable feelings and firm resolve.

Released in 2011, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Guilty Crown.

Chelly’s vocals delicately convey the poignant lyrics centered on parting and new beginnings.

The song intertwines feelings for a precious person with the determination to move forward.

It’s recommended when you need the courage to take a step into the new year.
