Songs with titles that start with “Na.” A hint for shiritori!

Do any songs come to mind that start with “na”? There are lots of words that begin with “na” and seem likely to be used in song titles—like “natsu” (summer), “nagisa” (beach), and “namae” (name).

In this article, we’ll introduce a bunch of songs with titles that start with “na.” Feel free to use this as a reference for shiritori using only song titles, or for karaoke shiritori where you pick the next song based on the last letter of the previous title.

Let’s dive right in!

Songs with titles starting with “Na.” A hint for shiritori! (61–70)

naturallyday after tomorrow

Many people probably remember it as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s variety show “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!!”.

Included on the album “elements,” released in March 2003, this track is a breezy pop tune.

It portrays the small joys of everyday life and moments with a lover, like strolling and dawdling on a sunny Saturday.

Later, it was also featured as the B-side of the single “Stay in my heart.” A classic, it’s a perfect song for a relaxed weekend or when you want to talk about the future with someone special.

When I counted the seven starsday after tomorrow

Rather than blending in and living safely, it conveys a strong will to entrust your wishes to the stars in the night sky and move forward as your true self.

It’s a hidden gem by day after tomorrow, included on the album “day alone,” released in March 2005.

While the band’s vocalist misono usually writes the lyrics, this song is unusual in their discography because guitarist Masato Kitano handled both the lyrics and the composition.

The driving rock sound propelled by a two-beat rhythm will set listeners’ hearts aflame and give them a powerful push forward.

What a wide world it is! WAKUTO feat. Kasane Teto, Koharu Rikka, Mai
What a wide world it is!WAKUTO

I want to break free from my boring everyday life and race around the world! This is a great escape song by a headstrong princess, packed with the spirit of adventure everyone has dreamed of at least once.

Composed by WAKUTO, it was released in November 2025.

It tells the story of a heroine who’s fed up with reading and lessons, whose longing for the world she saw in picture books grows and grows, until she finally slips out of the castle and claims her freedom.

The sound brims with pure excitement and thrills, and the lyrics revel in newfound freedom, making your heart dance.

It’s a song I want you to hear if you’ve been feeling that everyday life just isn’t enough.

After all, I’m an idolKoizumi Kyoko

"After All, I'm an Idol" Kyoko Koizumi (VINYL)
After all, I'm an idolKoizumi Kyoko

As a pioneer of self-branding, idol Kyoko Koizumi stands out.

Her song “Nantettatte Idol” is her 17th single, and thanks to her self-branding it gained nationwide popularity.

It’s a very poppy, catchy piece.

The vocal range is slightly wide at mid1 G# to hi F, but most women should be able to sing it without issue.

However, the average pitch is high and there are many rapid-fire phrases, so take care there.

Since it’s a bright, upbeat track, it’s better to focus on timing at the start of phrases and on dynamics rather than strict pitch accuracy.

There’s nothing to be afraid of — 怖れるものは何もない —ROTTENGRAFFTY × dustbox

This track, where adrenaline-charged melodic punk collides with muscular loud rock, is a collaboration between close allies ROTTENGRAFFTY and dustbox.

Looking back on the days when we started walking without knowing left from right, and the times when loneliness nearly crushed us, it delivers heartfelt thanks to the friends who stood by us and a steadfast vow—“we don’t give up easily”—sung powerfully in both English and Japanese.

Released in December 2024 as part of the dust’nGRAFFTY project, the song was also performed at ROTTENGRAFFTY’s own event, ‘Kyoto Chotokkyu 2024.’

“Nagai Aida,” released in January 1998, is one of Kiroro’s signature songs.

The overall vocal range is A3–C5, with F4 used most frequently, so this calm range should be very singable for women in their 40s.

The high notes appear on the chorus’s “na,” which is tricky to pronounce, so you’ll need to project more than you might expect.

Try pinching your nose and saying sounds from the na-row and ma-row.

Usually, when you try this, your voice will become nasal…

However, as you learn to produce a good tone even in that nasal condition, the nasality will drop away, and the na- and ma-row sounds—which normally tend to be nasal—will become easier to pronounce.

Give it a try!

ShipwreckNakamori Akina

It won the Gold Prize at the 29th Japan Record Awards in 1987.

Akina Nakamori’s husky, whispery voice really resonates in this song, and it’s highly recommended for those who struggle with high notes! The overall range is fairly wide, from D3 to C#5, but the song shines more in expressiveness than in vocal power.

The melody in the A section sits quite low, so be careful not to let your voice become mumbly.

Try taking plenty of air through your mouth and letting your voice ride on your breath.

The structure builds up from the chorus onward, so sing each of the opening notes clearly and deliberately.

Keep your facial muscles lifted and try to avoid using your throat as much as possible—you should find it easier to sing that way!
