Songs With Titles Starting With “Do” [Solo Karaoke • Song Title Shiritori] (391–400)

Do the GARIYA thingRappa Gariya

Rappa Gariya is one of Japan’s leading hip-hop groups.

If you came of age in the 1990s, you probably know them.

They were rappers who were active in the overground scene, which was a very small minority in the hip-hop world at the time.

Rappers who went overground tended to be looked down upon, but Rappa Gariya maintained a strong following even in the underground.

Their classic track “Do the GARIYA thing” is an old-school song with an energetic vibe.

The song “After the Drama – retake” depicts a heartrending farewell.

It expresses exquisitely delicate emotions—like the loneliness of days spent alone after a breakup and lingering attachment to a former lover—that ache in the chest.

Even the everyday scene of buying a 399-yen bento conveys the sense of loss that comes with lost love.

Included on the best-of album “REACTION THE BEST,” it’s a rearranged version of a 2017 release.

Widely talked about on TBS Drama Stream and TikTok, this track offers comfort to those whose hearts have been wounded by love.

This song features a driving yet weighty guitar phrase, with the distant resonance of a koto leaving a strong impression.

It’s a track by Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for Japanese-style rock, released in 2020.

The lyrics feel like a direct outpouring of swirling inner emotions, piercing the heart.

Listeners—especially younger generations—will likely relate.

Structurally, it’s a classic guitar rock tune, making it very easy to remember.

Sing it with everything you’ve got, as if laying your heart bare.

The timeless appeal of enka and kayōkyoku that’s been passed down through generations remains unchanged even in the Reiwa era.

“Donkozaka,” by Hiroshi Miyama—one of the leading enka singers since the late 2000s—was released in 2023 and stands as a new enka masterpiece born in Reiwa.

Miyama’s signature “vitamin voice” gently stays close to the listener’s heart, moving you to tears with a hymn to life that seems to watch over the journey of a married couple or lovers.

With a wide vocal range and considerable leaps up and down in pitch, it naturally demands strong singing ability.

That said, as a classic, straight-ahead enka number, those familiar with the genre shouldn’t find it too difficult.

Since the overall pitch sits on the lower side, if it feels too low for you, consider adjusting the key.

Dog fightHisaishi Joe

Included on the “Porco Rosso Soundtrack.” A dogfight is a term meaning an intense aerial battle between fighter planes.

This piece is not only thrilling but also features a touch of comedy.

The first half is light and lively, but it gradually becomes more serious, structured in a way that seems to fit the unfolding of the story perfectly.

I think Porco Rosso is a hardboiled, adult-oriented work packed with men’s dreams and romance.

Isn’t the protagonist, Porco Rosso, something men aspire to? The soundtrack is very adult as well.

It’s full of cool tracks like chanson and jazz.

“Doom — Trap of Clouds” features stylish dissonant piano, which also evokes a sense of foreboding.

A child secretly peeks at ghosts dancing in the twilight.

When the ghosts dance, strange things happen—something that, for a child, is far more captivating than frightening.

It will surely become an unforgettable memory for life.
