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! (261–270)

I want to be dumped with a happy endingAnri

If it’s going to end anyway, I’d rather keep it as a beautiful memory—this is a heartbreak song where bravado and true feelings intermingle.

Released in March 1987 as Anri’s 20th single, the track was featured in a JT “SomeTime LIGHTS” commercial.

It’s also included on the classic album SUMMER FAREWELLS.

Anri’s vocals resonate with the bittersweetness of a fading summer, striking straight to the heart.

The lyrics, portraying a brave yet sorrowful protagonist trying to smile in the face of parting, really hit home.

On nights when you want to look just a little ahead and sort through your memories even amid painful heartbreak, give it a listen.

Happy BirthdayKAN

If you want to celebrate a loved one’s birthday with a stylish, warm vibe, we recommend a number by KAN.

Featured on the album “Yakyu Senshu ga Yume Datta,” released in July 1990, it’s a medium-tempo pop song with a pleasantly resonant piano sound.

Influenced by overseas pop, the melody is urbane and sophisticated.

The song’s charm lies in its affectionate lyrics that conjure up a happy party scene with the guest of honor at the center.

The heartfelt congratulations, expressed in friendly, down-to-earth words, gently resonate in the heart.

It’s the perfect track to serve as the soundtrack that makes an intimate birthday gathering with friends or a partner feel even more special.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYOKAMOTO’S

OKAMOTO’S 『HAPPY BIRTHDAY』
HAPPY BIRTHDAYOKAMOTO'S

If a run-of-the-mill birthday song just doesn’t do it for you, I recommend this track by OKAMOTO’S.

Produced with Shigeru Kishida from Quruli, it’s a stylish piece of rock ’n’ roll with a buoyant, irresistible beat.

While it captures the sparkling joy of a birthday, it subtly weaves in a bittersweet perspective on the limited time we have, giving it real depth.

Perhaps it’s precisely because it’s not all fun and games that the presence of someone special feels even more precious.

Included on the album “Let It V,” released in January 2014, the song also drew attention as the theme for Ezaki Glico’s Pocky Chocolate commercial.

It’s the perfect pick when you want to give a friend’s party a slightly more grown-up vibe.

Happy BirthdayPizzicato Five

If you want to add a stylish song to a birthday present for a friend, a Pizzicato Five number is highly recommended.

This limited single was produced in 1996 as a campaign song for the second anniversary of Ikebukuro PARCO, and it falls into the Electronic and synth-pop genres.

With a buoyant, lively beat and a refined melody line befitting a leading act of the Shibuya-kei scene, it’s an irresistible tune.

The song’s urban message stylishly celebrates the day of one’s birthday, which is part of its charm.

Showcasing Yasuharu Konishi’s pop sensibilities and Maki Nomiya’s sweet, gently world-weary vocals blending beautifully, this track is the perfect soundtrack to add a touch of grown-up sophistication to a slightly dressy party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 MEeill

How about a new kind of birthday song—one that not only says “congratulations” to someone else, but also gently whispers it to yourself? This is a 2022 June release by eill, a singer-songwriter rooted in Black music.

The song explores how hard it can be to truly love yourself, while celebrating the importance of embracing yourself with a heartfelt “congratulations” for making it through another year.

Its melody, tinged with a quiet ache rather than party-like glamour, hits you all the more deeply.

The music video, produced by eill herself, draws you into its delicate world.

It’s a perfect track for a night you want to spend your birthday alone in peace, or for a special moment of self-care.

Happy BirthdayKyōko

Kyoko / “Happy Birthday” Lyric Video [with subtitles]
Happy BirthdayKyōko

Kyoko, who also shines as the vocalist of BARBEE BOYS, is known for her powerful, resonant voice.

A perfect birthday song for her is a track released in April 1997.

Written and composed by Shikao Suga, it was selected as the theme song for the theatrical film Detective Conan: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper.

While rock-tinged, it features a refined, forceful band sound with a faintly nostalgic melody that truly hits home.

The lyrics portray the frustration of being unable to fully express one’s feelings, and the heartfelt act of shouting a celebratory message skyward to a loved one far away—sentiments that are deeply moving.

Kyoko’s clear, expansive vocals add a positive hue to the story.

It’s an emotional song you’ll want to gift to a friend or lover living apart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEAnri

Known as the queen of city pop, ANRI crafted both the lyrics and music for this stylish track, which takes the slightly unusual perspective of celebrating not someone else’s birthday, but one’s own.

You can almost picture the scene: at a beach tinged with the feel of late summer’s end, quietly looking ahead with hope while reminiscing about memories with friends.

The song appears on the acclaimed 1993 August release 1/2 & 1/2.

Because ANRI created it herself, it resonates with a personal warmth alongside an urbane, sophisticated sound.

It’s a moving birthday song—just right for anyone who wants to greet their special day with a touch of sentimentality yet a forward-looking spirit as they take a new step.
