A roundup of songs that start with “Ku.” Perfect for shiritori or picking karaoke songs! (311–320)

closetaquarifa

It’s a rock band with a moon motif, pronounced “Akarifa.” They debuted in 2012.

Although they went on hiatus in 2017, they resumed activities in 2019.

In terms of genre, you could call them post-rock.

Their guitar sounds as if it were singing, with sparkling highlights, and Machi Iwata’s delicate vocals resonate beautifully.

They originally had a male vocalist, but when the band was recruiting a new one, she applied after being intrigued by the wide range of favorite artists listed in their introduction.

Their fragile, slowly permeating worldview is not to be missed.

Song of the Black Catback number

Kuroi Neko no Uta by back number, released as a digital single in 2016.

The song served as the theme for the film Rudolph and Ippai Attena.

The movie features cats as its protagonists, and this track was written specifically for it.

While it paints a world of cats, it also resonates naturally when applied to humans—especially those who are lost or troubled.

It’s a song that captures the kind of direct, emotionally charged expression characteristic of back number.

At the End of the Cloud PathCocco

This is Cocco’s fourth single, released on October 7, 1998.

The harmony part appears in the chorus, and at first listen the overall sound production makes the arrangement seem very complex.

But if you listen closely, it’s actually a two-part chorus with a lower harmony under the main melody.

If you can pick out and copy the harmony part, it shouldn’t be too difficult to harmonize.

If your goal is simply to recreate the feel of the original track, I think even having two or more people sing the main melody in unison could be quite effective.

Depending on the situation, that might be a fun way to enjoy it too!

Quvilleflumpool

The lyrics are pretty daring, but apparently it’s a song about a guitar.

It’s by the rock band flumpool, known for hits like “Kimi ni Todoke” and “Subarashiki Uso,” and it was included on their first album, “What’s flumpool!?,” released in 2009.

The bright, guitar-rock sound is fresh and pleasant.

Maybe that contrast is exactly why the lyrical worldview feels so striking.

Well… it’s not meant like that… or is it?

Devour me and possess me.hiroki

It’ll make you want to blast those woofers with powerful low end! This track by Vocaloid producer hiroki.

was released in 2022.

Throughout, it delivers a thick, heavy sound reminiscent of dubstep, but there’s also a section with an EDM-like sense of openness.

It seems like the kind of song that would send your energy through the roof at a club or festival! Rather than digging deeply into the lyrics or analyzing every timbre, I’d say crank up the volume and enjoy it first—it’s a dynamic Vocaloid track.
