Songs with titles starting with “E” [Great for karaoke and shiritori too!] (41–50)
EsperanzaNishino Kana
As Kana Nishino’s first “passionate summer love song,” it expresses burning feelings of love set to a Latin rhythm.
Released on May 18, 2011, its title means “hope” in Spanish, and the song portrays the intense emotions of a bittersweet unrequited love bordering on an illicit romance.
It was also chosen as the May theme song for the information program “Sukkiri!!”.
Incorporating flamenco-style guitar gives it a different image from Kana Nishino’s usual style.
The melody and rhythm themselves aren’t difficult, and if you sing the lyrics as they are, you should be able to catch the groove.
In the last chorus, the key changes and the vocal range rises, so if you imagine the pitches firmly before singing, your voice should come out smoothly.
MTRYOkuda Tamio
It’s a high-speed rock number that hits you like a solid wall of sound from the band.
In the lyrics, each instrument—like the drums and bass—is personified, portraying a band that turns even the slightest misalignment into groove and charges forward.
It’s a track that feels like a living embodiment of Tamio Okuda’s band setup “MTR&Y,” blending playfulness with cool swagger.
It’s the opening track on the album Cactus Museum, released in September 2017.
It also became the title of their 2018 Nippon Budokan live show.
Give it a listen when you’re heading out on a drive with friends or when you want to crank up your energy for a crucial moment.
engineOkuda Tamio
It’s a solid rock number written specifically as the Japanese end song for the Disney/Pixar film Cars 3.
The quiet acoustic guitar intro feels like an engine idling, and the way it gradually heats up is truly stirring.
Released in July 2017 as Tamio Okuda’s first solo single after launching his independent label, it deeply interprets the film’s theme of “crossroads in life,” making it a masterpiece that conveys not only a sense of speed but also a grown-up melancholy and the resolve to start anew.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re moving forward despite your doubts, or when you just want to drive with no destination in mind.
YELLikimonogakari
Let us introduce one of Ikimono-gakari’s signature spring songs that brings back memories of holding back tears while singing at graduation ceremonies.
Included on their 15th single released in September 2009, this track was written specifically as the set piece for the junior high division of NHK’s National School Music Competition.
Amidst a grand sound woven by piano and strings, Kiyoe Yoshioka’s clear, pure vocals seep into the heart.
The lyrics are striking in that they portray parting not only as sorrow, but as an important first step toward pursuing one’s dreams; the protagonist’s determination to move forward while accepting their own weaknesses is deeply moving.
Its warm message—that the bonds with your friends will never fade no matter how far apart you are—will stir your heart every time you listen.
The fact that it became the group’s first No.
1 on the Oricon chart shows how profoundly it resonated with many people.
When spring arrives with its mix of anticipation and anxiety for a new chapter in life, give this song a listen to feel a gentle push at your back.
f4altTezuka
A track by Vocaloid producer Tezuka, included on the compilation album “Adachi Adapter” released in May 2025, with its music video unveiled in February 2026.
The synergy between the driving yet airy sound and the inorganic vocal tone is outstanding.
The lyrics project a self-sacrificial feeling—the desire to be helpful to someone even while losing one’s memories.
The fact that Adachi Rei is the vocalist lends it a unique persuasiveness.
s o f t w a r eSatō Naiko
Here’s a track released by Vocaloid producer Noriko Sato in February 2026.
It’s the UTAU voicebank “Kaze Hiki” version of a piece provided to nmc.

The sound arrangement also draws you in, evoking the boundary between dreams and reality.
It makes you feel as if you’re drifting through a sea of sound.
Be sure to dive into this deep electronica.
Eternal AriaAdeliae
This is a rock number that, while lingering over farewell, portrays a resolve to move forward into the future with gratitude for one’s companions.
Released in March 2023, it was selected in the music contest for the smartphone game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku” and was added to the game that May.
The driving guitar and piano tones are striking, and Hatsune Miku’s vocals cheer on the starting dash of a new chapter in life.
