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 ___.”

Compilation of Songs with Titles Starting with “Do” [Solo Karaoke • Song Title Shiritori] (461–470)

Please, once more…Takahashi Eiichi

From Shiga Prefecture, 60-year-old rookie singer Eiichi Takahashi released his second single in February 2018.

This song, “Douka Mou Ichido…” (Please, Once More…), is basically an easy-to-like Showa-style kayōkyoku, but it spans a very wide vocal range.

From the whispering low notes in the verse to the high notes in the chorus, singing it with a beautiful resonance while keeping perfect pitch makes it quite a difficult piece.

Takahashi’s ability to carry it from start to finish with a sweet tone is truly impressive—you can’t help but say, “As expected!” Men who are confident in their singing should definitely give it a try!

At all times.Kiryūin Shō

Kiryuuin Shou of Golden Bomber—known as Japan’s only air band?—has included this on the cover album Oni Cover 90’s, which features beloved hit songs from the 1990s.

Even though they’re called an air band, Kiryuuin Shou actually sings as the vocalist, and you can feel his affection for “Donna Toki mo.” in this cover.

From her work as a Vocaloid producer to her many live performances as a singer adept at high registers, Madoka Kurosawa is active on multiple fronts.

She reportedly sang a lot at karaoke during her student days, which may be part of the reason for her strong vocal skills.

Under the name “Otouto no Ane,” she also posts cover songs, including well-regarded parodies known for their uniquely polished lyrics.

She made her Vocaloid debut in 2013 with “Kurokami Shoujo.” Her signature tracks include the Hall of Fame–inducted “Nusutto Cinderella” and “Chilledren.” In addition to being able to sing her own songs, Kurosawa carefully crafts her music so that others can enjoy singing it too, making her work highly approachable and irresistibly singable.

A song that powerfully sings of hope for the future and self-actualization.

Rin Ryugasaki’s androgynous, soothing vocals resonate over an urban city-pop sound.

Released in June 2024, its music video—featuring model NOZOMI—sparked buzz.

It conveys the importance of breaking free from daily routines and fake smiles to find your true self.

The driving track and uplifting lyrics feel like a gentle push on the listener’s back.

It’s a perfect song for moments when you want to take a new step forward or reclaim your authentic self.

Don’t Look BackBoston

Boston, a representative of progressive rock that took the world by storm in the same era as Toto.

I think the Japanese title of their debut album, Gensou Hikou (“Fantasy Flight”), which features a UFO on the cover, captures their music well.

It feels like flying through space, and it might give you a boost of energy.

The DOES × Kagamine Rin version of “Donten,” boldly rearranged as EDM from a simple yet heavy rock number, is so rhythmic you’ll want to play it over and over! The original was released by DOES in 2008 and was used as the opening theme for the anime Gintama.

Kagamine Rin’s seamlessly blending vocals pair perfectly with the electro-infused dance music arrangement! Why not give this Vocaloid track a listen and enjoy the best of both rock and EDM at once?

The Magic of Do-Re-MiGO-BANG’S

Here’s a fun song called “Doremi no Mahō,” performed by the all-female band GO-BANG’S, famous for “Aini Kite I-NEED-YOU.” It was also broadcast on NHK’s music program “Minna no Uta.” Since it uses the familiar do-re-mi musical scale as its theme, it naturally feels approachable.

The gentle lyrics—something like, “We’re excited for the life that’s about to begin! Let’s all walk forward together”—are lovely, too.

The tempo is fast, but slowing it down a bit doesn’t feel out of place.

The choreography that features pointing or clapping during the do-re-mi parts is also fun.

For a class of four-year-olds (nenchū), singing it with choreography would be great.
