Songs with titles that start with “te.” Perfect for shiritori karaoke or song-title shiritori!

Can you think of any words that start with “te”? There are lots, whether in Japanese or English—like “tegami” (letter), “tentai” (celestial bodies), “teen,” and “take,” to name a few.

In this article, I’ll introduce a selection of songs that start with such words—tracks with titles beginning with “te.” Feel free to use this as a hint for karaoke shiritori where you connect the last character of a song title to the next, or for shiritori played with song titles only.

Since I’m assuming you might sing them at karaoke, I’ll mainly feature well-known J-pop this time.

EGO-WRAPPIN’ is a music duo formed in Osaka, and they’re one of those artists I wish more people knew about.

It’s pronounced “Ego Wrappin,” and the name means “not putting oneself out front.” Apparently, they borrowed the phrase from something their favorite artists, De La Soul, once said in an interview.

I really want you to listen to this song, ‘Tengoku to Shiroi Pierrot’ (Heaven and the White Pierrot).

You’ll be surprised—like, “I had no idea music like this existed!”—because no label like art, literature, or fine art quite fits.

It might be their heaven—and their “future,” too!

TELL MEhide with Spread Beaver

TELL MEhide with Spread Beaver

Hide from X JAPAN captivated not only women but many men as well.

I imagine quite a few men in their 40s admired him.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is TELL ME.

This track stands out for its straightforward rock sound that feels light yet passionate, and the vocal line is equally direct.

Since there aren’t any overly complicated vocal parts, it’s easy for anyone to sing.

The chorus is deliberately set in a lower register too, which is a welcome point for those who find it hard to hit higher notes.

Tailwindkanau

Kanae, known as a member of the YouTuber group NIJISANJI, has a solo track titled “Tailwind.” The song was produced as the opening theme for the anime Overtake! and perfectly embodies its gentle, beautiful story.

In the anime, “rain” is a key motif, and the song includes sections that reflect that theme.

Combined with his clear, expansive vocals, it’s a track that’s sure to lift your spirits.

Motoo Fujiwara is the vocalist and guitarist of the band BUMP OF CHICKEN, born in Akita City.

I thought his voice and guitar had a powerful, edgy quality.

They’re very well-known, and it made me curious which prefectures the other members are from.

This isn’t about the Band Koshien.

DECO*27 is a famous Vocaloid producer so well known in the scene that it’s no exaggeration to say everyone knows him.

He has created an incredible number of hit songs.

Among his many hits, some are also easy to sing.

One of those is “Telepathy feat.

Hatsune Miku.” While it’s a bit fast-paced, it stays within an easy-to-sing range of mid1 G to hi D, and the pitch movement isn’t too extreme by Vocaloid standards.

The song really shines when it comes to hype, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

PinocchioP is a multi-talented Vocaloid producer who also excels as an illustrator and character designer.

Known for creating many masterpieces like “Slow Motion” and “God-ish,” among others, one track I especially recommend is “Don’t Believe What Mr.

T Says feat.

Hatsune Miku & Kasane Teto.” It’s a piece notable for Teto’s characteristic high tones, but because the rests are clearly placed, you can properly prepare—like taking a breath—before sudden jumps in pitch.

It isn’t particularly fast-paced, so as long as you can get through the chorus phrases, there aren’t any especially difficult elements.

You might have had the experience where just thinking about someone you love makes the world look more vibrant.

This piece was written and composed by singer-songwriter Mari Iijima, who has been familiar with the piano since childhood.

It portrays a growing love that seems to repaint the world with beautiful colors, drawing you into the pure universe of its lyrics.

The song was included on a single released in June 1984 and is well known for being used as the ending theme of the theatrical anime The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?.

While it has an idol-pop flavor, its refined melody and production make it perfect for a drive along the coastline at dusk.

It’s a song I recommend when you want to create a romantic atmosphere.
