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”. Hints for shiritori! (181–190)

Nerve PickingCOM.A

COM.A – Nerve Picking (from “Dream And Hope”)
Nerve PickingCOM.A

COM.A, a leading figure in Japan’s breakcore scene, released his debut album “Dream And Hope” in 2001.

A torrent of noisy, rough-hewn beats collides at breakneck speed with sudden flashes of beautiful melody—that’s the defining feature of this record.

Its sound throws dreams and hope together with delusions and malice, like an utterly unpredictable roller coaster.

Addictive and widely beloved for the gap between its ferocity and pop sensibility, this is an album many find themselves hooked on.

Despite its title, the chaotic worldview offers new discoveries with every listen, letting you fully revel in a vortex of sound that seems to shake your brain directly.

Be Nankuru-kunBEGIN

BEGIN / Be Nankuru-kun (Music Video)
Be Nankuru-kunBEGIN

BEGIN captivates with a warm yet powerful sound that only three musicians from Ishigaki Island, Okinawa could create.

This piece, which closes their first masterful album in seven years, Taiyo (The Sun), is a song that deeply evokes the spirit of the island songs at their roots.

The Okinawan phrase “nankuru nai sa,” which carries the profound meaning, “If you keep doing the right thing without losing heart, a good day will come,” resonates gently through the melody.

Even as we are buffeted by the waves of life and bear the sorrow of losing what we hold dear, these lyrics softly encourage us to keep facing forward, warming the heart as they do.

When your heart feels a little tired, why not let yourself be wrapped in the kindness this song offers?

Summer, beer, and rock ’n’ rollKetsumeishi

It’s an irresistibly bright rock ’n’ roll number that feels like a herald of summer’s arrival.

You can just picture the feverish scene: soaking up the sun, working up a sweat, and reveling in beer and music from morning till night.

This track was included on the single “Danjo 6-nin Natsu Monogatari,” released in July 2006, and can also be heard on the album “Ketsunopolis 5.” At a summer festival or a barbecue with friends, dance the night away with a beer in hand, and you might just make the kind of unforgettable memories that blow the summer heat away.

Nameless PoemMr.Children

Mr.Children “Nameless Poem” Mr.Children “HOME” TOUR 2007 ~in the field~
Nameless PoemMr.Children

Mr.Children’s fifth album, Deep Sea, released in 1996 and a massive hit with total sales exceeding 2.7 million copies, is a shocking concept album that overturned the band’s image.

While it includes hits like “Nameless Poem” and “Flower -Mémento-Mori-,” the overarching tone is a dark, weighty world that engulfs the listener.

Kazutoshi Sakurai’s word choices, which seem to gouge at his inner self, merge with progressive sonics to vividly portray human loneliness and nihilism.

It’s the perfect record for those who want to experience the band’s artistry beyond pure pop, or to immerse themselves in music that unfolds like a single story.

The Nurse – Nurse (7″ Flexi. 1983)

Exploding onto the 1980s music scene like a bolt of lightning, THE NURSE were a girls’ hardcore punk band.

Produced by heavyweights like Baki of GASTUNK and Tam of THE STALIN, they distilled their raw, primal impulse into a ferociously visceral sound.

Many listeners must have been blown away, thinking, “Is this really the sound of teenage girls?” Their active period was brief, and the members’ backgrounds remain shrouded in mystery, but the impact hasn’t faded.

Interest is surging again, with their debut work being reissued in 2025.

The Door to SummerMatsuda Seiko

Seiko Matsuda – The Door of Summer (from Seiko Matsuda Concert Tour 2019 “Seiko’s Singles Collection”)

It’s a classic that carries the sparkle of summer’s arrival and the thrill of a budding romance.

Just listening to it makes your heart skip and gives you the urge to dash off somewhere, doesn’t it? Released in April 1981 as Seiko Matsuda’s fifth single, this track is also included on the acclaimed album “Silhouette.” Its hope-filled lyrics and Seiko’s endlessly soaring high notes blend perfectly, as if gently giving listeners a push forward.

It was also featured at the time in a Shiseido “Ekubo” commercial, enchanting many with her voice.

Isn’t it just perfect for opening the door to a new season or when you want to refresh your mood?

Natsu LoveJuliet

Juliet is a female vocal duo.

They gained popularity during the heyday of the so-called ‘shiro-gyaru’ trend, with lyrics that voiced the feelings of gyaru at the time.

Many women in their mid-30s today were shiro-gyaru themselves, so the group likely left a strong impression.

Natsu Love is one of Juliet’s signature songs.

Falsetto appears toward the end of the chorus, and there are many rap-like phrases, but aside from the falsetto parts the pitch movement is quite simple.

So if you can use head voice comfortably, you should have no trouble aiming for a high score.
