Songs whose titles start with “Do” – Solo Karaoke / Song-Title Shiritori

There are lots of words that start with “do,” like “Don’t,” “Dream,” “doko” (where), and “drama.” In particular, there are many English words, and quite a few are used in song titles.

In this article, I’ll be introducing a bunch of songs with titles that start with “do”! I hope it’ll be useful as hints for “song-title shiritori” or “shiritori karaoke,” or for making playlists of “songs that start with ___.”

Songs with titles starting with “Do” [Solo Karaoke • Song Title Shiritori] (351–360)

Donut Hole (I tried singing it)ribu

They have been posting videos since 2010, and although the total number of uploads is still under 100, they are a singer with quite a large fanbase.

They are also focusing on production: the song Tsukiyō -Tsukiakari-, created with Mikito-P, was selected as their first-ever movie theme song.

Amid a sludgy, oozing groove, the bass darts around freely in all directions.

Composed by bassist Wakazaemon and released in 2019, this track feels like turning one’s inner downer vibes straight into music—something I think will especially resonate with younger listeners.

From a bass-playing standpoint, the wah-inflected phrases really stand out.

The contrast between the quirky, slappy-pecking tone and the heavy, thudding sections is just perfect.

Get a taste of Wakazaemon’s originality for yourself.

Don’t give up ~Awakening~ainisuta

[Sanshirō] Ainista | Don’t Give Up ~Awakening~ [Ariyoshi’s Wall]
Don't give up ~Awakening~ainisuta

It’s hard to tell whether it’s a proper song or more of a skit, but Sanshirō’s Ainista delivers a brand of surreal humor.

Ainista is a fictional unit that appeared on the TV show “Ariyoshi no Kabe.” Their piece “Don’t give up ~Kakusei~,” which feels part musical gag, part translation, part commentary, features the two dressed like deities, with Komiya holding a guitar and singing.

It’s really entertaining to see various new styles showcased as a fresh form of comedy, different from traditional sketches or manzai.

Please, do not taint your emotions.Amerika Min’yō Kenkyūkai Haniwa

How about “Please, Don’t Stain Your Emotions” by Haniwa of the American Folk Song Study Group? At the moment when all the instruments come together dynamically, no word other than “emotional” seems to fit.

The conversational, spoken style of the melody draws on techniques from the musical genre known as “poetry reading,” and the more you listen, the more it pulls you into its world.

I hope the strongly message-driven lyrics make you feel something.

Ulfuls – Too Whatever / Couldn't Care Less
I couldn't care less.Urufuruzu

Speaking of Ulfuls, they have lots of lively, upbeat songs, so many people probably listen to them when they want to get pumped up, right? I’d like to recommend this song “Doudemo Yosugi” to people who are overthinking because they’re worried or unsure.

That’s because the lyrics are so positive that they hit you straight in the heart.

Combined with Tortoise Matsumoto’s powerful vocals, the song will give you energy.

The members’ bright expressions in the music video boost your spirits even more!

Slave HeavenElefanto Kashimashi

Elephant Kashimashi is a four-piece rock band whose vocalist, Hiroji Miyamoto, leaves a strikingly eccentric impression.

Their seventh single, Dorei Tengoku (“Slave Heaven”), which is also the title track of their sixth album, boosts the tension with a tight rock sound featuring noisy guitars.

The lyrics line up straightforward, shocking phrases that seem to ironically brand the world of people drifting through life without purpose as a kind of heaven.

It’s a sharp-edged rock tune whose powerful message makes a strong impact.

It’s a class reunion.ojioji

[Divine Song] Oji-Oji 👴 It’s a class reunion, huh [Ariyoshi’s Wall] [Shisonnu]
It's a class reunion.ojioji

On the variety show Ariyoshi no Kabe, popular comedians take on serious song-based sketches.

Each act has its own flavor, but the one I’ll introduce here is a song by the duo Sisonne called “It’s a Class Reunion.” Sung over a sound reminiscent of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s classic “Diamonds,” it tells a grandfather’s class reunion story.

He meets his classmates for the first time in 60 years, yet the moment he sees their faces, their names come right back to him.

It’s a slightly moving turn—“Some things don’t change, even with time”—but the punchline is that he’s the only one whose name no one remembers, which is kind of tear-jerking.
