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.

Song titles that start with “Ha.” Lots that feel like the seasons! (491–500)

Hakata Yamakasa Women’s SongNagayama Yōko

Hakata Yamakasa Women’s SongNagayama Yōko

This is a lively, rock-style enka with an irresistibly cool sound: aggressively rock-flavored guitar intertwined passionately with the strumming tones of the shamisen! It’s a single released by Yoko Nagayama in 2011, and her performance—singing lyrics themed around the Hakata Gion Yamakasa with a dignified, powerful voice—is nothing short of superb.

The melody features dramatic rises and falls in pitch and frequent kobushi ornamentation, but since it’s an up-tempo song, you can power through a fair bit on sheer groove.

If you like cool enka, definitely give it a try.

The folk-style melodic line that appears in the middle can be tough if you’re not used to singing it, so keep listening to the original and practice!

Rhythmic, dynamic phrases unfold one after another, enveloping the entire hall in a joyful atmosphere.

Performed by world-renowned pianists like Nikolai Petrov and Marc-André Hamelin, this piece is perfect for those who want to showcase both technique and expressive power.

It’s sure to create a captivating, unforgettable stage.
