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!

“Tada Sore Dake no Koto ga sa” portrays a moment overflowing with love for someone precious who can no longer be by your side.

It was released in 2023 by the rock band Marcy, known for their many romance-themed songs.

The lyrics, centered on lingering feelings that make you keep thinking about your ex even after a breakup, intertwine with a warm melody.

As the distance grows between two people who once loved each other more than anyone else, the bittersweet scenes of past conversations surfacing in their minds are sure to bring tears.

It’s a song whose heartfelt message to a beloved person—impossible to forget even when apart—resonates deeply.

“Tadaima to Ieru Made” by Melo Float is distinguished by its gentle keyboard intro.

With melody and rap parts that blend seamlessly, this moving ballad is one you’ll want to listen to again and again.

The lyrics, especially the straightforward expressions of gratitude toward one’s parents in unadorned words, are truly goosebump-inducing.

Its sound is likely to appeal not only to young listeners but also to their parents’ generation.

Why not try singing it for your mom or dad on a special day, like a birthday?

Adorned with piano, the piece is beautiful and carries a hint of folk-song sensibility.

Supported by that soundscape, what’s sung is a powerful cry, as if spilling out one’s inner heart.

It’s a very cool track that evokes a dark world, and I hope you won’t just listen to it—sing it out yourself with all your might.

I also recommend checking out YurryCanon’s other songs.

A heartwarming number you’ll want to listen to while relaxing in your sleeping bag at camp.

It’s the title track from Lucky Old Sun’s April 2019 album, Traveling Guitar.

The travel-tinged guitar and poppy melody are perfect for nights gathered around the campfire.

It’s also great for solo camping when you want time to reflect, or for BBQ time with friends.

With this song, your spirits are sure to lift.

Add it to your playlist and enjoy the great outdoors!

Under the sunRemioromen

Remioromen is a rock band known for carefully depicting the movements of the heart in songs like “Konayuki” and “March 9.” Their 2006 release “Taiyo no Shita” was used as the theme song for the film “Helen the Baby Fox.” Its appeal lies in a poignant band sound that unfolds at a mid-tempo pace.

The track was also recorded in New York, and the lyrics make you want to gaze out at a wider world.

It’s a warm number that empathizes with those troubled by love, especially the anxiety of wondering, “How does the other person feel about me?”

A birthday song that opens with a catchy vocal melody carried by a transparent-sounding performance: the shimmer of acoustic guitar, a lingering bassline, and richly layered strings.

It’s a track said to have been made so the artist could be celebrated on their own birthday, and knowing that gives the song a whole new perspective when you listen.

The gentle atmosphere that permeates the entire piece makes it a perfect fit for birthdays—whether for yourself or for someone else.

I’m home, you.ichi ni san

For those who find themselves thinking, “I can’t help but keep thinking about that person…,” I recommend the song “Tadaima, Anata” (“I’m Home, You”).

It was produced in 2021 by the Vocaloid producer Hifumi, known for crafting songs that highlight the beauty of the Japanese language.

The track features a striking, driving band sound paired with a heartrending melody line.

KAFU’s cool voice traces lyrics that let overflowing feelings for a loved one spill out.

It’s a bittersweet yet beautiful rock ’n’ roll number that sits close to the helplessness of heartbreak.

If you’re feeling the loneliness of being unable to see the one you love, give it a listen.
