What words come to mind? This article introduces popular songs and easy-to-use titles that begin with fu.

There’s a wide range to choose from, and it’s fairly easy to find unique titles too—so it might be fun to memorize them!

Before winter comeskami fuusen

Before Winter Comes (’77) Paper Balloon KAMI FUSEN
Before winter comeskami fuusen

Highly recommended for those seeking a heartwarming classic for the winter season.

This song, which poignantly sings of a breakup with a lover and the wish to meet again, became a major hit upon its release in November 1977.

Set to a melody with a hint of folk-song flavor, it beautifully depicts scenes from the end of summer to the arrival of winter.

The lyrics evoke nostalgic landscapes—slopes, seaside vistas, and streets dyed in cosmos pink—making it perfect for moments when you want to bask in memories.

As a signature song by Kamifusen, listening to it will warm your heart along with a wave of nostalgia.

winter stormHosokawa Takashi

Set against the northern seas, this masterpiece portrays the severity of winter and the subtleties of the human heart.

It’s a classic enka number distinguished by the evocative sound of the Tsugaru shamisen, with Takashi Hosokawa’s powerful vocals resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in May 2019, it was later included in the October release of the 16-track album “Takashi Hosokawa Complete Collection: Fuyuarashi (Winter Storm).” The lyrics brilliantly capture both the roughness of the northern ocean and the fragility of human emotion, conjuring images of lovers huddling together against the winter cold.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to quietly on a winter night in a warm room.

Highly recommended not only for enka fans, but for anyone seeking music that speaks to the heart.

Now a mainstay at music festivals, Kessoku Band has long since outgrown the label of a fictional band born from an anime, boasting widespread popularity.

It’s true that many of their songs are packed with techniques that can be tough for beginners, but the track introduced here, “Flashbacker,” has a relatively simple arrangement and doesn’t demand advanced techniques throughout, making it a solid choice to tackle.

Just note that playing it strictly as written can come off flat; aim for an ensemble that balances stillness and intensity, expressing the protagonist’s emotions in the song.

It’s a great way to learn the unique challenges of band ensemble playing—different from simply mastering difficult phrases.

This is a song that warmly embraces the hearts of two people in love.

Released as a single by Masato Funatsu in February 2022, it features striking, seasonally rich imagery.

It beautifully depicts the two walking through a town as snowflakes fall and the heart-fluttering moment when they hold hands.

A heartwarming love song that evokes the special time spent with a partner on a cold winter’s day.

Why not listen to it together as you make memories with your loved one?

A heartrending song by Mahiru that portrays the feelings of a woman who can’t help but sense the presence of her former lover in the lingering scent of a borrowed perfume.

Delicately woven words capture how memories stirred by fragrance toss her about, leaving her heart aching with feelings she still can’t let go of.

Co-created with RINZO and released in December 2023, the piece gained support as a ballad that comforts many who have experienced heartbreak.

It’s a song that stands by those who, in everyday moments, are suddenly reminded of someone precious by a passing scent, bringing empathy to such bittersweet instants.

First biteRinu

Despite a title that evokes a wedding event, the lyrics depict dim, unsettling emotions and a codependent relationship.

This song by Rinu from Strawberry Prince was released in December 2024.

Written and composed by the Vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierced, the track pairs a dramatic, weighty sound with Rinu’s standout vocal performance.

His voice, as if wrung from the depths of the heart, shakes both eardrums and mind.

It’s a hard-hitting love song recommended for those who want to resonate with hidden feelings and shifting emotions.

Kei Sugawara – Imperfectly in Love (Official Video)

Singer-songwriter Kei Sugawara has been active since the 2020s.

Her music falls under J-pop, but it leans somewhat heavily toward rock, with many energetic tracks.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “Imperfectly in Love.” It’s a song you often hear on TikTok and elsewhere.

The vocal line in this track doesn’t span a wide range, nor does it have drastic jumps in pitch.

The falsetto sections that appear between vocal phrases, which resemble scat, aren’t part of the main line and therefore aren’t counted in karaoke scoring.

It’s a great choice for those aiming for a high score.
