Introducing popular J-pop songs that start with “Ta”!

Have you heard of shiritori karaoke, where you connect songs by using the last letter of the previous song’s title? Surprisingly, it can get pretty exciting—sometimes you can’t think of any songs, or there aren’t as many singable ones as you expect.

So this time, I’ll introduce a bunch of Japanese songs that start with “ta.” I’ve picked popular J-POP tracks so you can use them both for karaoke and for playing shiritori using only song titles.

Please use this as a reference, and if there’s a song you’d like to try singing, go for it!

This is a refreshing Vocaloid track whose shuffle beat gently loosens the heart.

Created by Namiguru, an artist known for releasing many Vocaloid songs with unique worlds, it was released in May 2023.

The lyrics depict a laid-back everyday life and remind us of the importance of finding calm moments amid our busy days.

It’s perfect for when you want to feel like you’re idly spending time on a riverbank on a pleasantly sunny Sunday.

If you’re going anyway, why not take your mother along?

Twilight is beautiful.Fuji Ayako

“Tasogare Kirei” is a single released in 2017 to commemorate Ayako Fuji’s 30th anniversary as a singer.

With lyrics by Yoko Aki and composition by Kosetsu Minami, “Tasogare Kirei” showcases Fuji’s seductive charm in full, leaning more toward Showa-era kayōkyoku than traditional enka.

The flowing orchestration and horns evoke the golden age of Showa pop, and the melody—infused with Kosetsu Minami’s signature style—is easy to sing even for those who aren’t fond of enka.

However, the section at the end of the chorus that feels like an ad-lib can easily throw you off in both pitch and rhythm, so pay attention to your breathing points and practice to deliver it smoothly.
