Songs with titles that start with “Ha.” Lots that evoke the seasons!
Have you heard of karaoke shiritori, where you link the last letter of each song title to the next, or the version where you play using only song titles? The key is how many song titles you can remember and how many different songs you can sing, and it gets really exciting when music lovers play together.
Still, there are times when you just can’t come up with a song title… So in this article, I’ll introduce songs that start with “Ha” to help you out when you get stuck on that syllable! There are lots of seasonally themed songs like “Haru” (spring), “Hanabi” (fireworks), and “Hana” (flower), so please take a look.
Songs with titles starting with 'Ha'. Lots that evoke the seasons! (1–10)
HabitNEW!SEKAI NO OWARI
A signature work by SEKAI NO OWARI that garnered attention for its distinctive dance and addictive melody.
Released as a single in June 2022, it was selected as the theme song for the film “HOLIC xxxHOLiC.” Sounding the alarm about people’s unconscious tendency to pigeonhole themselves and others, the song conveys the importance of living true to yourself without being bound by stereotypes.
The unique choreography showcased in the music video sparked a huge response on social media, racking up 2.5 billion views, and the song went on to win the Japan Record Award that same year.
Its upbeat rhythm is so catchy that you’ll want to start moving the moment the intro plays.
It’s a perfect track to enjoy with seniors at recreational gatherings, clapping along together.
August 32NEW!Shimizu Kou feat. Hatsune Miku
A bittersweet yet warm Vocaloid track that gently lifts up the feelings you’ve kept tucked away in your heart.
Created by Vocaloid producer Kou Shimizu, who is also a practicing physician, this piece was released in September 2017.
It’s a self-remake of a song originally unveiled in August 2013 with Kagamine Rin and Len on vocals, now reinterpreted with Hatsune Miku’s voice.
The dramatic rock sound blends beautifully with a lyrical melody that evokes the humidity of late summer.
Its highly narrative world—depicting thoughts of lost time and someone long forgotten—seeps deeply into the listener’s heart.
Give it a listen when you feel like pausing amid daily life, or on nights when you want to dwell on memories of the past.
Ghost of SpringNEW!Chevon
This rock tune sketches a vaguely ominous, bittersweet afterimage of a season where meetings and partings intersect.
It’s a track by Chevon, a three-piece band drawing attention for their literary lyrics and shape-shifting ensemble work, released digitally in March 2026.
Included on their major-label debut album “Sansha Yagi,” set for release in April of the same year, this song marks the fifth installment of their annual spring theme.
Created during a retreat in their hometown of Sapporo, it compellingly captures the band’s dense energy and intuitive dialogue in raw sonic form.
It gently stays close to the memories and sense of loss that dwell in the word “spring.”

This is a straight-down-the-middle love song scheduled for release as a Hey! Say! JUMP single in February 2026.
It has been selected as the theme song for the drama “50-Minute Lover,” starring Kei Inoo and Honoka Matsumoto in dual lead roles.
The lyrics, featuring playful, pop-tinged wordplay that captures the sweet, slightly bashful feelings of unrequited love, are sure to make your heart skip a beat! With a sparkling sound like a spring breeze, it delivers the uplifting energy of romance.
Sing it at karaoke and the exciting intro will fire everyone up right away, making it a wonderful track for sharing that sweet-and-sour flutter with everyone.
HEART BEATNEW!KAT-TUN
This is a hidden gem included only on the regular edition of the hit single released in February 2010, “Loveyourself ~I love the you you hate~.” It sings of a strong resolve to accept everything about the other person—even their past and their weaknesses—and move forward together into the future.
From a street corner where a cold wind blows, it bursts open into a sense of exhilaration and warmth that feels like your field of view suddenly expanding.
It’s a highly recommended track to listen to when you want to protect someone precious to you, or when you need a song to gently stay close to a wounded heart!

Hello! Project’s idol group Tsubaki Factory captivates audiences with their elegance and expressive power.
“FireWorks,” a track pre-released from their double A-side single coming out in June 2026, drew attention for its co-writing and composition by SHOCK EYE of Shonan no Kaze.
Centered on a theme of inner passion bursting forth, it stirs the heart just by listening.
Its hybrid arrangement—classic idol pop infused with rap and ad-libs—is another highlight.
Give it a listen when you’re ready to take on something new.
HappinessNEW!arashi
This is the 20th single by the national idol group Arashi, released in September 2007.
