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 evoke the seasons! (281–290)

A powerhouse vocalist who captivates fans with her expansive voice and dignified beauty, Yukino Ichikawa.

She debuted in 1993 with “Onna no Matsuri.” Though she temporarily paused her career for medical treatment, she has continued to shine at the forefront of the enka world.

In 2016, she achieved her long-held dream of appearing on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen for the first time, and in December 2019 she won the Japan Record Awards’ Best Vocal Performance for “Yukikoi-bana,” cementing her reputation beyond doubt.

Carrying on the teachings of her mentor, Shosuke Ichikawa, her expressive range—spanning classic enka to kayōkyoku—is nothing short of breathtaking.

The way she embodies a different female persona in each song is truly that of an actress who sings.

HeartbreakM-BAND

It’s a cool, dangerously alluring number.

Released in November 1982 as the debut single from Kobe-born rock band M-BAND.

Takashi Fuji’s sexy vocals riding that shuffle beat are downright electrifying! And many listeners will be moved by the lyrics, which portray the aching heart of a man who can’t leave a capricious lover, even as she toys with him.

Perfect for those nights when you’re frustrated and just want to dance till dawn.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

back number – HAPPY BIRTHDAY (full)
HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number

This song is by back number, a rock band known for releasing many classic bittersweet love songs.

It was released in 2019 as their 20th single and served as the theme song for the drama A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love.

While the title might make you think it’s a celebratory track, it’s actually a poignant number depicting a man spending his birthday alone, nursing an unrequited love.

It tenderly conveys the aching feeling of waiting to hear “happy birthday” from the person he likes.

Rather than a song to give to someone else, it feels like a track that gently stays by the side of your lovesick self.

Shinichi Kawahara, who made the unusual career shift from guitarist-vocalist in a rock band to the world of enka, has released his first single with Nippon Crown in November 2025: “Heart Stone / Yume no Saikoro.” The work’s appeal lies in its true-story-based narrative, inspired by a real heart-shaped cobblestone in Yokohama’s Harbor View Park, recounting memories of a now-departed lover.

Sophisticated arrangements—where Latin-flavored rhythms intertwine with horns—create a port-town atmosphere.

It’s a song that resonates with the ache of moving forward while holding a deep longing for a lost love.

HouttuyniaNayutan Seijin

A Vocaloid track featuring addictive guitar riffs and a distinctive bassline.

The guitar doesn’t have any particularly difficult phrases, so it’s recommended for beginner guitarists, but be careful—if you don’t play tightly, the overall vibe of the song can change.

The bass mainly plays root notes, but in sections where it stands out, like the intro, mistakes will be very noticeable, so focus on clear articulation.

The drums have intricate snare placements, so make sure to keep the beat steady.

For vocals, the chorus is especially high and the breathing points are tricky, so practice repeatedly and find a singing approach that works best for you.

This is a track Fujii Kaze—who captivates listeners around the world—released in June 2025, marking his challenge of writing entirely in English.

Its title evokes the famous statue known as a meeting spot in Shibuya, yet the lyrics weave in Japanese phrases while painting a free, lighthearted worldview that promises to take you anywhere.

Carried by chill, gentle tones, his soft vocals deliver comfort that transcends language barriers.

Completed after a co-writing session in LA, the song is drawing attention as the lead track from the album “Prema,” slated for release in September.

It’s recommended for those who feel worn out by daily life and want to unwind at a relaxed pace.

Have a nice dayimase

Have a nice dayimase

This is the major-label debut single released on December 19, 2021, and it became a huge hit thanks to TikTok! The overall vocal range is fairly wide, from D3 to C#5, but if you sing the high notes in the chorus in falsetto rather than chest voice, you can hit them comfortably.

That makes it easier to aim for a perfect 100 score! First, when it comes to scoring in karaoke, pitch accuracy accounts for most of the points.

Listening to imase’s “Have a nice day,” you’ll notice it’s built around the mid and high ranges.

Many people may think falsetto is difficult, but in fact, falsetto resonates in the right place, making it much easier to stay on pitch.

Be sure to use your breath well and focus on singing in falsetto as if the sound is coming from the top of your head.
