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.

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.

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.
