Songs whose titles start with SHI. Great for shiritori or karaoke! (11–20)
Shake ＆ ShakeNEW!sumika
It’s an upbeat, crowd-pleasing song that’s fun to sing! Released on June 2, 2021 as a double A-side single, it includes Shake & Shake, the opening theme for the anime Pretty Boy Detective Club, and Night Walker.
The music video was reportedly sumika’s first attempt at a one-shot filming.
In the B-melody, cut the notes sharply, and in the chorus, aim for the higher pitches—rather than making a grimace, open your face and project a bright voice.
If you send your voice outward into the distance, it reduces any sense of strain and helps you keep your throat open!
Spring, Summer, Autumn, WinterNEW!sumika
This song was included on the double A-side single “Fanfare/Shunkashuto,” released on August 29, 2018, and was written specifically as the main theme and an insert song for the animated film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.” It’s a moving ballad that captures the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth! The tempo is relaxed, making it easy to keep time, and the melody line is straightforward.
The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5; the verses (A and B sections) sit in the middle range, while the chorus jumps up sharply into the high range, so it might be better to learn them separately.
When singing high notes, your throat can sometimes tense and constrict, so it’s good to keep your facial muscles lifted and maintain a bright expression.
As for the voice itself, I recommend projecting it confidently out into the distance.
Happinessback number
Back number, known for lyrics and melodies that ache and tighten the chest, has won wide support.
This work is the B-side track included on their major-label debut single “Hanabira,” released in April 2011.
It was later included on the album “Superstar,” released in October of the same year, and has continued to be cherished by fans as a hidden gem.
Realizing that the person you love is thinking of someone other than you, yet being able to stay by their side only by wishing for their happiness—these painfully selfless feelings and inner conflicts are depicted in the lyrics, piercing listeners’ hearts.
The beautiful arrangement incorporating strings further stirs the emotions.
For those suffering from unrequited love or who have once prayed for a loved one’s happiness from afar, this is a song that will bring you to tears.
Shape of LoveNEW!DISH//
Do you ever find that unforgettable memories of a past love suddenly resurface in a beautiful flash? Shape of Love, included on DISH//’s mini-album CIRCLE, is a mid-tempo ballad that vividly portrays those bittersweet emotions.
Released in February 2020, it drew attention for being co-written by singer-songwriter Yu Sakai, who composed the music, and vocalist Takumi Kitamura, who penned the lyrics.
Their deeply emotive performance on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE has also captured many hearts.
The lyrics, which struggle to seek an answerless shape of love, ride on a delicate yet grand melody that truly hits home.
On nights when you want to quietly immerse yourself in the helpless feelings that come with looking back on past love, Kitamura’s gentle voice will surely be there to keep you company.
Embracing wrinkled cloudsNEW!DISH//
It’s a rock tune whose breezy, refreshing guitar sound and lyrics that liken life to the ever-changing sky strike a chord.
The work, themed around grown-up youth, was released as a digital single in July 2022 and was written specifically as the theme song for the TBS drama “Riding a Unicorn.” The lyrics were penned by Takumi Kitamura, with composition by drummer Daichi Izumi, resulting in a track that conveys DISH//’s maturity and unity.
It was later included on the album “TRIANGLE,” and has become a fan favorite that captivates audiences live.
It’s the perfect song for those moments when, amid the struggles of work and love, you pause and look up at the sky.
In down-to-earth words, it will give you the courage to start walking toward the future.
SingularityNEW!Ø-SODOX
From the title alone it sounds like a sci-fi movie, but once you listen, you’ll be drawn even deeper into its world.
It’s a track by Ø-SODOX, an artist billed as an “AI-generated near-future artist,” released as a single in May 2025.
True to their motto of “reducing rules to zero,” the piece features an electronic soundscape evocative of a technological singularity and a structure that breaks away from convention.
The chorus—opening up your field of vision from a hard-edged beat—is a real “whoa” moment when you hear it.
It’s a track with a curious sense of weightless drift, as if heralding the arrival of the AI era.
It’s also striking how, from 2025 onward, they’ve been dropping new works in rapid succession.
If you want to immerse yourself in a near-futuristic sound, definitely give it a listen.

dining tableNEW!natori
Singer-songwriter Natori, who has built a unique musical style with social media as the main battleground and enjoys overwhelming support especially among young people.
Released in October 2023, this song is included on the first album “Gekijō” (Theatre) and brims with biting irony toward the irresponsible consumption and criticism that run rampant on social media.
Its distinctive lyrics, which liken the endless swiping of videos to a meal, together with an aggressive, addictive digital sound, seize listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.
The chef outfit Natori wears in the music video directed by Eirina Hamono also leaves a strong impression, doesn’t it? It’s an energetic, stimulating number that we especially want people to hear when they’re feeling daily SNS fatigue or want to blow off pent-up frustration.
