Songs with Titles Starting with “E” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori Too!] (31–40)

Cape Erimoyoshida takurou

A ballad whose lyrics portray the warmth of everyday life amid harsh cold, slowly soaking into the heart.

It’s a timeless masterpiece that has transcended the boundaries between folk and enka and continues to be loved by many.

Released as Shinichi Mori’s single in January 1974, it went on to win that year’s Japan Record Award—a historic work, indeed.

Famously, it was originally slated for the B-side but, due to the strong response, was promoted to the A-side.

Takuro Yoshida himself also recorded a self-cover that December on his album “Ima wa Mada Jinsei o Katarazu,” offering a deeply flavorful performance only the composer could deliver.

It’s perfect for a quiet night like gathering around a bonfire and talking, or for occasions where you want voices to resonate across generations.

After graduating from Sexy Zone, Kento Nakajima has been showcasing a wide range of expressions as a solo artist.

This work, the lead track from his album “IDOL1ST,” is an ambitious piece in which he was involved in both lyrics and composition, portraying the light and shadow of an idol.

Its seductive sound, sampling Shonentai’s classic “Masked Ball,” brings into sharp relief the loneliness that exists as the flip side of glamour.

Released in advance in January 2026, the song also functions as the hidden counterpart to the single “IDOLIC.” For those who want to feel the truth behind the glittering world and a more essential kind of strength, this track is irresistible—a mysterious number where razor-sharp beats collide with earnest emotion.

AGE OF PAINKBB

An instrumental band formed around violinist Akihisa Tsuboy that established a unique style often described as “violin rock.” With virtuosic performances that traverse progressive rock and jazz rock, they continue to captivate listeners in Japan and abroad.

They debuted in 2000 with the album “Lost and Found,” released on a prestigious French label.

In March 2004, they performed at BajaProg in Mexico to great acclaim, exemplifying their cross-border success.

The passionate melodies of the violin and the thrilling ensemble work driven by complex time signatures are nothing short of breathtaking.

A powerhouse act highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in a dramatic, meticulously crafted musical experience—without vocals.

LITE is a four-piece instrumental rock band formed in Tokyo in 2003.

As pioneers of math rock, armed with razor-sharp guitar riffs and meticulously constructed rhythms, they’ve earned a massive following not only in Japan but overseas as well.

In addition to releasing music on their own label, they’ve also put out works through Topshelf Records in North America, making their cross-border activity truly world-class.

The thrilling ensemble performances heard on signature tracks like “Bond” and “Infinite Mirror” are nothing short of breathtaking.

Their experimental spirit in sound is another major draw—during the production of the album “Illuminates,” they brought in John McEntire of Tortoise.

They’ve also proven their live prowess by headlining the UK’s ArcTanGent Festival.

If you’re looking for stimulating music, I can recommend them with confidence.

EurynomeSakanakushon

An instrumental track whose tribal beats and layered sonics lead listeners into another world.

Included on Sakanaction’s concept album “Adapt,” released in March 2022, it plays a crucial role in underpinning the album’s worldview despite being a song without vocals.

The piece also drew attention for being provided as music material for creators through Toyota’s “YARIS DIRECTORSCUT” project.

The attempt to share not only a finished work but also its deconstructed sound parts exemplifies the band’s forward-thinking approach.

It’s the perfect track for nights when you want to immerse yourself in the raw energy of sound beyond words or stimulate your creative sensibilities.

Created for the Colorless Transparency Festival 3, Hanakuma Chifuyu’s cool, edgy vocals match the track’s distortion perfectly.
