A classic song with a title that starts with “Ru”

Have you ever played shiritori using song titles?

Surprisingly, you can’t recall song names as easily as you’d think, and it gets pretty heated.

One of the trickiest letters in that game—easily among the top contenders—is “ru.”

There just aren’t many songs that come to mind starting with “ru,” right?

But if you look, you’ll find there are plenty of hidden gems that do start with “ru”!

From titles using colors and gemstones to words like rookie and loop, we found lots of songs.

By all means, enjoy the quirky yet wonderful world of songs starting with the notoriously tricky “ru.”

Masterpieces with Titles Starting with 'Ru' (151–160)

Le RhôneHattori Katsuhisa

A piece that is popular in Japan as a piano practice song.

It is a work by the renowned composer Katsuhisa Hattori, but I’ve heard that it’s very easy for pianists to play.

Still, its familiar melody is truly unforgettable.

Perhaps its simplicity combined with memorability is what makes it a masterpiece.

Routine MelodiesToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

A track included as the first song on the fourteenth album.

The electric piano at the beginning creates a pop impression, and the offbeat guitar adds a cheerful vibe.

Playing this album when you set off on a trip might heighten the vacation mood.

Routine Melodies RepriseToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

A track included on the 20th original full album, “Paradise Has NO BORDER.” I think it’s a stylish song that makes you feel like you’re listening to Western music.

In the live footage, you can see a collaborative scene featuring Sakana-kun making an appearance!

Lapis-Lazuli Blue Earth 2020Matsuda Seiko

For women in their 50s, many probably grew up with Seiko Matsuda’s songs.

Some of you may even have worn the iconic “Seiko-chan cut” hairstyle.

Speaking of hits Seiko released as an adult, this is the song that comes to mind.

The video is the 2020 version, but the song was originally released in 1986 and was recorded while Seiko was pregnant.

I hope you’ll think about the future of our planet’s environment as you listen to this song.
