Songs with Titles Starting with “Do”: Solo Karaoke / Song-Title Shiritori (71–80)

DREAM CATCHERnazo J

DREAM CATCHER / Kiyoteru Hiyama
DREAM CATCHERnazo J

This number portrays the feeling of your spirit wearing down as you face success that seems within reach yet slips away.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Nazo J, who builds a unique world under the name “Hatters,” it was released in August 2025.

It was a participating track in the BOCALOID Collection 2025 Summer TOP100 ranking.

The lyrics depict an unrequited protagonist who repeatedly challenges and exhausts themselves within a game that has no mechanism for victory.

Kiyoteru Hiyama’s clear vocals poignantly convey that impatience and longing.

It’s a song that cuts deep into the hearts of those worn out by pursuing goals and feeling powerless.

It can’t be helped.rūpāa P

It’s a mixture rock piece that perfectly matches the forlorn air of autumn.

Created by Vocaloid producer Rupar-P, known for a decadent aesthetic with Japanese motifs, the song was released in October 2021 and participated in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle 2021 Autumn.

It portrays the desperate wish of a protagonist, struggling amid resignation and self-loathing, to still be understood by someone.

The lyrics, which express the ebb and flow of emotion, combined with flower’s powerful vocals, amplify the sense of pent-up frustration.

Many in the younger generation will likely find themselves empathizing with these feelings.

DolphinOH MY GIRL

OH MY GIRL is a six-member idol group formed in 2015.

Their music is rooted in orthodox K-pop, and they’ve gained popularity for their quintessential idol appeal.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Dolphin.

It has a slightly tropical house vibe, featuring a smooth, level vocal line without dramatic peaks.

The mixed-voice section right before the chorus can be a tricky spot, but since it doesn’t require belting, anyone should be able to sing it if they adjust to a suitable key.

DRIVE TO BLUEL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc~en~Ciel「DIVE TO BLUE」-Music Clip-
DRIVE TO BLUEL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

An alternative rock number bursting with a sense of speed, driven by piercing, vibrant synthesizer tones.

Released in March 1998 as the lead single from the album “HEART,” it topped the Oricon weekly chart for two consecutive weeks.

The lyrics are said to capture the distinctive early-morning atmosphere felt in boyhood and a liberating sense that you could go anywhere.

At the same time, they convey a certain peril, like plunging into the color blue, offering a depth that can resonate as either hope or despair depending on the listener’s state of mind.

It’s a song that will firmly push you forward when you’re ready to break through your current situation and step into a new world.

Dotonbori SentimentTendō Yoshimi

Dotonbori SentimentTendō Yoshimi

Yoshimi Tendo is an enka singer highly acclaimed for her live performances.

With first-class qualities across the board—vocal power, expressiveness, and fine techniques such as kobushi—she also has songs that are relatively easy to sing.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Dotonbori Ninjo.

It’s a robust enka number with the flavor of Kawachi Ondo, but most of the kobushi are the type that undulate at the start of each phrase, so it’s not particularly difficult.

Of course, if you aim to replicate every detail, the difficulty is high; however, since most of the Kawachi Ondo-style kobushi occur in the lower register, anyone who can control pitch in the low range should be able to sing it without issue.

By the way, the reading of the title is not “Dotonbori Ninjo,” but “Tonbori Ninjo.”

fuse (detonating fuse)Tegoshi Yūya

Dōkasen, released as a digital single on July 9, 2025.

Chita Henry, who worked on Vibration from Yuya Tegoshi’s first best-of album, Yuya Tegoshi SINGLES BEST, released on May 14, 2025, also wrote and composed this new track, Dōkasen.

The verses (A and B sections) are relatively calm and sit comfortably in chest voice, but the range shoots up heading into the chorus, making it a great pick for singers who excel in high notes.

Most of the highs are in falsetto—and a powerful falsetto at that—so you’ll want to really project them.

Before singing, take a deep breath, and aim your voice diagonally upward from your head with a crisp “s-pahhn!” image.

Alternatively, imagine resonating strongly in the back of your head—this might also make it easier to hit.

Try both and see which works better for you!

Doll’s BoxDOLL$BOXX

This is a DOLL$BOXX song that poignantly and single-mindedly sings of a doll waiting in a box for the person she loves.

Though the band is known for their technical, hard-edged sound, this work portrays a powerful beauty that dwells within silence.

Vocalist Fuki’s expressive high tones delicately convey memories of happy winter days spent with her owner and the pure feeling of being fulfilled simply by being by their side.

This song is a renowned ballad included on their debut album, DOLLS APARTMENT, released in December 2012.

It’s also known for concluding a special project in which music videos were released for nine consecutive weeks.

The fragile yet beautiful story they weave is sure to resonate deeply with listeners.

On a night when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood, why not take your time and listen closely?
