Songs with titles that start with “Pe” (page, paper, paint, etc.)

In this article, I’ll introduce a bunch of songs whose titles start with “Pe.”

I hope this will be useful in various situations, such as playing shiritori using song titles, doing “shiritori karaoke” where you link songs together like in shiritori, or choosing tracks for playlists like “songs with titles that start with the P row sounds.”

We don’t usually search for songs that start with a specific character, so you might discover tracks you haven’t encountered before.

I’d be delighted if you find a favorite song here and it helps with your shiritori games, karaoke sessions, or playlist making.

The annihilation of PejiteHisaishi Joe

The Annihilation of Pejite (from 'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind')

Pejite is depicted as a city hostile to Torumekia.

Harboring resentment over the Torumekian army’s invasion and massacre of its citizens to seize the God Warrior slumbering beneath Pejite, they set the Ohmu into a rampage and annihilated the stationed Torumekian forces.

After that, they attempt to send the Ohmu toward the Valley of the Wind as well, but are met with Nausicaä’s resistance.

“The Destruction of Pejite” is a sorrowful piece with strong tones of turmoil and grief.

Takuro Yoshida, a pivotal figure who elevated folk music and rock—once minor genres in the 1970s—into the pop scene.

He is known for having many songs with strong messages.

“Bourbon on Penny Lane” is crafted with lyrics about trying to drown dissatisfaction with the economy and politics in alcohol.

Paper MoonOhashi Junko

With a sound conscious of overseas soul music that stood out as unique in the Japanese pop scene of the time, vocalist Junko Ohashi of Junko Ohashi & Minoya Central Station made a striking impression.

Her signature songs include “Tasogare My Love,” which was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama ‘Shishi no Gotoku,’ and “Silhouette Romance.” The band, assembled with top-notch musicians, is incredibly groovy and soulful, and pairs perfectly with Junko Ohashi’s powerful, high-toned vocals.

Following the classic album “A Long Vacation,” the studio album “Each Time” was a major hit, selling 600,000 copies.

After its release, Eiichi Ohtaki announced he would suspend his musical activities, which ultimately made it his final album; it’s often discussed as a sequel to “A Long Vacation.” Including “Peppermint Blue,” which is credited on this album, none of the tracks were ever performed in concert.

I wish I could have heard them live at least once!

Painieiri reo

Leo Ieiri – “Pain” Music Video
Painieiri reo

A female singer-songwriter who grew up surrounded by music from an early age, Leo Ieiri has become a solitary presence thanks to a unique expressive style and worldview shaped by her complex family background.

This is her digital single.

The solid, back-to-basics band sound and lyrics that convey a firm resolve to move forward are striking.

The powerful, fast-paced melody, paired with a cynical message, gives you a push on the back—a sense of real momentum.

It’s an aggressive rock tune that’s also perfect for karaoke when you’re feeling stressed.

When you’re looking for a constellation-themed song to lift your spirits, I recommend Perseus.

It’s a 2003 hit by Hitomi Shimatani, a Hiroshima-born singer known for her cover of Amairo no Kami no Otome.

For some people, the name Perseus immediately brings this song to mind, and it often gets mentioned on social media when the Perseids are visible.

Its exhilarating, oriental-infused melody is wonderfully pleasing, and the lyrics sing of limitless possibilities.

It matches a starry night sky perfectly and leaves you feeling positive.

PairingAragaki Yui

A heartrending track included on Sora, the album Gakky—Yui Aragaki—released before she got married.

The lyrics and music are by Toko Furuuchi, known for hits like “Takaramono” and “Ginza.” It’s a song that feels as if it’s asking, “How would you act if the person you like already had a girlfriend?” The lyrics paint a picture of a man she has feelings for who is incredibly kind—but the ring shining on his finger is a matching pair with his girlfriend’s, making the heartbreak absolute.

Set to a fairly bright, poppy melody, the contrast somehow makes it feel even more melancholy…
