Songs with titles that start with “Ri”

The second letter in the ra-gyo is “ri.”

When you play shiritori, it often ends up being the first prompt you have to think of, doesn’t it?

So, what songs with titles that start with “ri” come to mind for you?

In this article, we’ll introduce songs whose titles begin with “ri.”

The ra-gyo can be a tricky row to find words from, but even among them, “ri” actually has lots of words that make great song titles, like “ringo” (apple), “ryuusei” (shooting star), and “riaru” (real).

Be sure to check out the article, and if you find a favorite, give it a listen—or try singing it yourself!

Mary is a singer with exceptional vocal ability who can master any song.

“A Promise of Mutual Secret Crushes,” included on her 2016 album The 13th Month’s Merry, showcases her husky, beautiful vocals as she sings of a sure, steadfast love for someone special.

The song portrays the joy of the moment when two feelings finally align, overcoming the loneliness of unspoken mutual affection.

With a rhythmic band performance that seems to bless the future ahead, it’s a happy anthem where sincere love is rewarded.

Give this uplifting song about mutual crushes a listen.

This is singer-songwriter miwa’s 25th single, which also drew attention for her achievement in 2018 as the first female solo artist to successfully perform a solo acoustic guitar concert at Yokohama Arena.

Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Nagi’s Long Vacation,” it’s a cool number that contrasts her cute vocals with a hard-hitting rock sound.

It’s challenging due to its driving feel and overall high key, but it’s great fun to play as a band, so I highly recommend it.

If the key really doesn’t suit you, try tackling it flexibly by asking the instrumentalists to change the chords or by tuning down.

moumoon / “Refrain” from “FULLMOON LIVE TOUR 2012” FINAL at NHK Hall

This is a song by the musical duo moumoon, made up of MASAKI and YUKA.

It was released in 2010 as their second single.

It’s a love song that sings, “No matter how far apart we are, you are in my heart,” and while the theme carries a touch of sadness, each word conveys a positive determination.

Listening to it makes you feel like you can do your best, too.

That’s surely thanks in part to YUKA’s straight, soaring vocals.

By the end, you’re left with a feeling like the clouds have lifted.

REVERSEniki

REVERSE / niki OFFICIAL

Vocaloid producer niki, who holds the title of legendary Lily master and is popular for a heavy sound influenced by Western rock, has released their fourth work, “+REVERSE.” Its innovative structure—featuring lyrics designed to be played in reverse to match the title—also became a hot topic.

While there are challenging elements, such as memorizing the reversed lyrics and the large melodic leaps in the chorus, the vocal range isn’t especially wide, so it should be relatively easy to sing at karaoke if you set a key that suits you.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s a calmly delivered, wistful number.

It’s a ballad where emotional expression and a relaxed tempo blend beautifully.

Released in 2024 by Sabio, it captivates with its richly layered sound arrangement.

The main vocalist Chisei’s soft voice, complete with audible breaths, is wonderful, and together with the lyrical words, it pulls you into its world.

Please take your time and give it a careful listen.
