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 seasonal! (411–420)

Heartbreaker (I fell in love with a cowgirl)Hirai Dai

A gem of a love song by Dai Hirai that paints uncontrollable infatuation and aching longing with a sound that skillfully weaves in elements of country music.

It sings of a man’s pure feelings for a free-spirited, cowgirl-like woman, set to a refreshing beach sound.

Released in April 2025, the piece conveys the bittersweetness of love through a gentle narrative tone and a pleasant melodic line.

Created as the first installment of a series leading up to “HIRAIDAI presents THE BEACH TRIP 2025,” which kicks off in May, it’s a perfect fit for open-air moments like seaside drives or BBQs under clear blue skies.

A soul-stirring ballad that deeply resonates with those nursing heartbreak or struggling with single-minded love.

First loveHata Motohiro

A ballad by Motohiro Hata, woven with sincere feelings carried by his clear, translucent voice.

He tenderly portrays memories of a love that ended against the flow of fate, likening them to a blue apple and tangled threads.

Released in January 2013 as the ending theme for the TV anime “Space Brothers” and later included on the album “Signed POP,” this work is a characteristically minor-key song from Hata.

Coupled with Seiji Kameda’s delicate arrangement, it strikingly depicts the pain and regret of a love that reached its farewell while still immature.

Hata’s relatable vocals make it a song that recalls the bitter experiences of a first love.

We’re in an era where talented musicians born in the 2000s are leading the scene, and TOMEI—born in 2003 and discovered by director Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS—is certainly one of them.

The song we’re introducing here, “Haikaburi,” is her debut track, produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda and released in July 2023.

Written and composed by TOMEI herself, it fully showcases her gifts as a singer-songwriter.

“Haikaburi” carries a dark pop vibe reminiscent of Billie Eilish, and its word choice stands out, resulting in a track that highlights her individuality.

Once you grasp the song’s atmosphere and get past the recurring falsetto parts, even those who aren’t completely confident in their vocal skills should be able to sing it well.

The chorus is surprisingly easy to sing, too, so I’d encourage anyone looking to try a song with a different feel than usual to give it a shot.

HAWAIIKONISHIKI

This song is rich with emotion and lets you feel the Hawaiian breeze.

Released in July 2003 by former ōzeki KONISHIKI, it’s a heartwarming piece filled with deep love for his Hawaiian roots.

The soothing tones of Hawaiian instruments like the ukulele and slack-key guitar, combined with KONISHIKI’s uniquely warm vocals, unfold gentle tropical scenery before your eyes.

Featured on the album “Nanakuli,” this gem captures his expression of Hawaii’s nature, culture, and the warmth of its people.

It’s perfect for boosting pre-trip excitement or for moments when you want a brief escape from everyday life.

KONISHIKI has also served as a bridge between Japan and Hawaii, launching his own label, H-POP Label, in 2007.

A song that exquisitely fuses summer-like freshness with autumn’s bittersweetness.

While incorporating elements of alternative rock, it maintains the approachable charm of J-pop in a perfectly balanced way.

Serena’s emotionally rich vocals gently weave narrative-driven lyrics, beautifully elevated by Etsu’s guitar work.

Released in April 2025, the track’s music video premiered on YouTube on April 27, drawing a large audience.

Like a fish swimming through the sea, it portrays a heart drifting amid waves of emotion, gently encouraging those trying to accept the end of a romance or take a brave new step forward.

HawaiiRukatama

A single that charms with a refreshing breeze of the tropics and a faintly nostalgic melody.

Blending the best of city pop and classic Japanese pop, the track’s easy, soothing rhythm whisks listeners away to an eternal-summer island.

Lukatama’s gentle vocals softly express a longing for Hawaii and the liberating feeling of escaping everyday life.

This song appears as the third track on the album “MISRULE” (December 2022).

As a spinoff project, “Hawaii Ondo” was also released in January 2023.

It’s perfect for when you want to get away from the city’s clamor, when you’re dreaming of a tropical getaway, or for a sunset drive.

Why not take off for the heartwarming Hawaiian sky on the musical wings of Lukatama and a band of seasoned musicians?
