Lovely karaoke song

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 feel like the seasons! (111–120)

While grounding his music in R&B, Aile The Shota has pursued pop that anyone can hum along to.

Released in December 2025, the winter ballad “Hanayuki” serves as the concluding piece of a seasonal song series that has been delivered across spring, summer, and autumn.

Set against imagery of snow piling up on winter nights and frosty white breaths, it depicts fragile memories that seem like they might vanish at a touch, and the feelings that nevertheless remain in the heart.

The composition features contributors including UTA, known for work with BTS and Daichi Miura, resulting in a classic love ballad reminiscent of the 2000s.

Included on the album “REAL POP 2,” released in February 2026.

Haruka Kanatayosugala

Formed in 2022, yosugala is a rock idol group that has drawn attention for its guitar-driven sound and emotional vocals.

Their major-label debut track uses the moon in the night sky and shooting stars as motifs to portray the emotions of confronting loneliness and self-denial.

The lyrics, which affirm both our tough facade and our complexes just as they are, resonate with those of us living in a modern world where we tend to compare ourselves to others.

The song has been selected as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Zenryoku! Datsuryoku Times” starting in December 2025.

Lyrics by TKT, music and arrangement by EREN.

A classic song sung at daycare: “Hajime no Ippo (The First Step)” [Graduation song, school-leaving song, music activities for daycare]

Graduation from kindergarten is an event that marks the beginning of a completely different life starting the very next day.

Entering elementary school changes everything, so some children may feel anxious.

This is a warm-hearted graduation song that you’ll want to give to such children.

With lyrics by Toshihiko Shinzawa and music by Hirotaka Nakagawa, it was released in 1987.

It begins with a scene of morning arriving along with birdsong, and gently depicts children stepping forward into a new day.

Even for adults, finding the courage to take that first step can be difficult, right? At times like that, this song might just blow away the fog in your heart.

It’s also included on the album “Dai 1-shū Sekai-jū no Kodomo-tachi ga,” credited to Tora ya Bōshi-ten and Toshihiko Shinzawa, and has long been loved in childcare settings across Japan.

It’s a perfect song not only for graduation ceremonies, but also for entrance ceremonies, farewell gatherings, and any moment that marks a fresh start.
