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 ___.”

A compilation of songs with titles starting with 'Do' [Solo karaoke / Song title shiritori] (411–420)

Donguri KorokoroSakushi: Yanada Tadashi / Sakkyoku: Aoki Sonshi

Nursery Rhyme/Children’s Song Medley [29 Songs, 27 Minutes] (Teaching Materials for Nursery Teachers/School Teachers)
Donguri KorokoroSakushi: Yanada Tadashi / Sakkyoku: Aoki Sonshi

“Donguri Korokoro” is a long-loved song that depicts an acorn tumbling into a pond and the fun of playing with a loach.

To help the scenes come to life, introducing a sketchbook theater or paper puppets is also recommended.

The acorn that plays freely and then cries at the sad farewell to the loach somehow overlaps with the image of children.

It’s also nice to enjoy acorn-hunting after singing the song.

If you draw faces on the acorns you’ve picked, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind acorn in the world!

Spring somewhereSakushi: Momota Sōji / Sakkyoku: Kusakawa Shin

A children’s song that delicately depicts a spring scene was published in March 1923 in the magazine Shogaku Danshi, created by Soji Momota (lyrics) and Shin Kusakawa (music).

It gently sings of sensing the invisible arrival of spring through the five senses—such as the skylark’s call, the sound of budding, and the feel of the east wind.

Selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Songs, its calm melody that warms the heart with the coming of spring and its lyrics that let you feel the breath of nature make it perfect for easing nerves in a new environment or for savoring the changing of the seasons.
