A roundup of songs that start with “Ku.” Perfect for shiritori or picking karaoke songs! (321–330)
lipsaiko
“Kuchibiru” is quite easy to sing for people who are good at falsetto.
Released in 2012, it’s included on the album “Toki no Silhouette.” While Aiko often releases love songs, this one stands out among them for expressing an exceptionally realistic sense of love—a sweet yet heartrending track.
What enhances that poignancy is the clear, transparent falsetto.
Her relaxed, unforced vocals draw out feelings that are true to life.
It’s a song I recommend to those who struggle to hit high notes in chest voice but are confident with falsetto.
Clouds are white, apples are red.aiko
This is a classic wrapped in gentle light and warmth.
Released in July 2006 as aiko’s 20th single, it served as the lead single for the album “Kanojo.” The lyrics delicately depict summer scenes and a nostalgic longing for lost love, while the brisk, bright melody lingers in your ears.
It’s also a popular karaoke choice, and trying out aiko’s distinctive vocal style can be fun.
The music video was reportedly filmed at ZEPP TOKYO with about 550 fan-club members in attendance.
The bittersweet lyrics that echo a heart in love and the melody line—subtle yet easy to sing—are sure to resonate with listeners of any gender.
As a J-pop staple, why not add it to your karaoke playlist?
Christmasamazarashi
This is a distinctive Christmas song that portrays a scene of snow piling up.
It’s a track by the rock band amazarashi, included on the mini-album “One Room Epic” released in November 2010.
Vocalist Hiromu Akita’s powerful voice is striking, drawing listeners into the emotionally resonant lyrics.
The music video for this work was produced as a full 3D video over six minutes long and was selected as a Jury Selection in the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival’s Entertainment Division.
It’s recommended for those spending Christmas night alone or anyone who wants to reflect deeply on the world.
With its calm tone, it’s very easy for men to sing.
For the chorus, it’s recommended to project your voice clearly without straining your throat.
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.
verbal promiseiScream
This is a love ballad from iScream that tenderly sings about delicate feelings of romance.
Set to an acoustic track, it gently portrays a girl’s happiness, anxiety, and heartache in love.
Released in December 2023 as a pre-release single from their second album “Selfie,” which dropped in January 2024, the song also showcases a new side of iScream, with member RUI making her acting debut in the music video.
The lyrics, which depict the subtle emotions of someone in love, are sure to resonate with many listeners.
It’s a perfect song for those struggling with the distance in an important relationship or carrying the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love.
