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!

Real Thing ShakesB’z

B’z, the rock unit that has built numerous milestones.

Released in May 1996, this work drew attention for its unprecedented format: a one-coin single with no B-side.

Chosen as the theme song for the drama “Watch Out for Us,” it became their 13th consecutive million-selling single, setting a new all-time record at the time.

Produced by Andy Johns, known for his work with Led Zeppelin, it’s a hard rock number performed entirely in English.

The sound woven by Takahiro Matsumoto’s heavy guitar riffs and Koshi Inaba’s soaring high-tone vocals is nothing short of breathtaking.

Ryusenkei Mayday, sung by virtual singer KAF and her musical counterpart KAFU, is a single released in July 2022.

It was used as the ending theme for the anime Dropkick on My Devil! X.

The addictive sound arrangement layered with two vocals naturally gets you nodding to the beat.

The lyrics, which carry a subtly languid, wistful emotion, are another highlight.

Be sure to give it a careful listen.

Created as the theme song for the arena tour “BULLET TRAIN ARENA TOUR 2025-2026 REAL?”, this track was released as a digital-only single in November 2025.

Its powerful message—urging us to seek what’s real in an information society where fake and real are intertwined—resonates deeply with those living in the present day.

The thrilling sound arrangement is another highlight.

It’s a cool dance tune that radiates an electrifying allure.

It’s a rock number that evokes a powerful will to untangle the intertwined threads of fate and weave the future anew.

NEK!’s “rip-off,” set for release in 2025, is an impressive track marked by a sense of speed that conveys palpable tension.

Throughout the song, the sound feels intense, with the guitar and bass standing out in particular for their aggressiveness.

From the very beginning, the slap bass strikes hard, setting the rhythm while firmly expressing the song’s lyrical hostility.

Since slap bass drives the track, its lightness and sharpness come across clearly in the performance.

Remind Bluejin

A track placed in the latter half of the 3rd album “Mekakucity Reload,” released in November 2018.

Its blend of lyrics that recall bygone youth and an emotional band sound is striking.

As you listen, you may find memories of summers past suddenly resurfacing—perhaps you feel the same.

There’s an atmosphere of looking back on the past from an adult’s perspective, after the tumultuous days of the story have ended.

It’s a number I especially want those revisiting the world of the Kagerou Project after a while to hear.

regretday after tomorrow

A gem of a ballad included on the album “primary colors,” released in February 2004.

Though not a single, it’s cherished among fans as a hidden masterpiece.

Vocalist misono’s richly expressive voice poignantly conveys both regret and gratitude for time that can’t be reclaimed.

The story of two people who drifted apart due to unspoken words comes into focus, and as you listen, a bittersweet ache wells up.

Try listening alone on a quiet night, letting the gentle sounds carry you back through your memories.
