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! (311–320)

Can’t Say Anything ~WINTER VERSION~THE JAYWALK

Many of you probably know J-WALK’s signature hit “Nani mo Ienakute… Natsu,” released in 1991, but did you know there’s a winter version as well? This winter rendition beautifully blends regret over lost love with the harsh atmosphere of the season.

Featuring an acoustic arrangement, it’s characterized by a warm sound that draws out the feelings of winter.

The sense of helplessness in only being able to say “Merry Christmas” on Christmas night is particularly striking.

It’s recommended not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone who wants to listen quietly to music on a winter night.

Savor this moving winter classic packed with J-WALK’s appeal.

JIJIM is a six-member band from the Kanto region.

They’re fairly underground, but within the scene they’re getting attention for their stylish songs.

Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend as being easy to sing is “Nagagutsu Boy.” It’s built mostly around the mid-to-high range, so there are plenty of higher parts, but the overall range isn’t wide; if you can hit moderately high notes, you should be able to sing it without trouble.

If you like city pop-style tunes, this is a must-listen!

This is the fourth single by JITTERIN’JINN, a three-member band from Nara Prefecture that produced several hits in the early 1990s.

It’s a poppy, energetic number with lyrics that vividly depict the scenes of a summer festival.

The song reached No.

3 on the Oricon charts and became especially popular during the summer season.

Its lyrics, which capture the bittersweet, fleeting feelings of youth, resonate with many listeners.

It was also featured in a commercial for SANKYO’s pachinko machine “Fever Dai Natsu Matsuri,” boosting its recognition even further.

It’s a gem of a summer song that evokes a nostalgic mood when listened to in August, as summer draws to a close.

This work is striking for its meticulously woven, sophisticated melodies and its candid, emotionally resonant lyrics.

It’s a superb collaboration that fuses the talents of Jvck James and Mahalia, two leading figures of the UK R&B scene.

Laying bare the fragile emotions after heartbreak, the message that “good women get the short end of the stick” is deeply relatable.

Released in March 2024 via Jaz Karis’s label, MNRK Music Group, this gem is a must-listen for anyone who’s been hurt by love and for those who want to experience the very essence of contemporary R&B.

A light, airy melody imbued with bittersweet emotion.

This song by Vocaloid producer KulfiQ was released in January 2012.

It pairs a guitar rock sound arrangement with a shadowy worldview.

The piece portrays the struggles many modern people face, such as self-denigrating thoughts and feelings of inferiority born from comparison with others.

Beloved by Vocaloid fans for many years, it was also performed at Magical Mirai 10th Anniversary Live in 2022.

Please give it another listen!

A uniquely captivating number that paints summer scenes and the lingering afterglow of lost love.

Released in August 2024, it’s a highly anticipated follow-up to the previous work that earned power-play rotation on FM stations nationwide.

Laura day romance’s distinctive twin vocals and a sound tinged with psychedelia leave a strong impression.

The titular phrase that appears in the song feels like a promise to reunite with a former lover, and its ambiguity lingers in the heart.

The complex rhythms and Kagetsu Inoue’s emotive vocals beautifully capture the bittersweetness and loneliness of summer.

It’s the kind of track you’ll want to hear at summer dusk, gazing out at the sea.
