Lovely karaoke song

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.

Weather Forecast LoverCHAGE and ASKA

“Lovers of the Weather Forecast” is the song that played in the final episode of a TV drama aired in the so-called Monday 9 p.m.

slot in 2000.

It was included on an album released in 1989.

Its cozy tempo and melody make it easy to remember and sing.

The bittersweet lyrics can bring a tear to your eye even as you’re singing them.

In addition to the duo’s harmonies, female chorus parts are incorporated, so even if you sing it solo at karaoke, you can enjoy a gorgeous feel.

Be sure to practice and give it a try!

Released on February 21, 2007 as their 10th single, it was selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama series “This Week, My Wife Is Having an Affair.” With a characteristically upbeat, funky arrangement and lyrics and melody that only they could deliver, I don’t think anyone else could perform this song!

It’s a breakup song, but it has an upbeat, driving rhythm with striking string sounds.

Take Me Hands (feat. Cecile Corbel)Daishi Dance

It’s a somewhat nostalgic club tune that blends a beautiful, wistful harp timbre with grand string phrases.

The track is by DJ DAISHI DANCE, known for his melodious style, and was released in 2020.

The vocalist is French singer-songwriter Cécile Corbel, whose clear, translucent voice seems to seep deep into your heart.

Rather than music you groove to, it’s the kind you’ll want to savor alone, taking your time—such is its allure.

Angel's CloverDIVELA

The 23rd Vocaloid track by DIVELA, a Vocaloid producer who also works on cover songs, VOCALOID arrangement covers, and instrumental tracks.

This is the VOCALOID version of a song written specifically for the in-game unit MORE MORE JUMP! from the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” Its noisy guitar sound and high-velocity drum beats will get your energy up.

With a superb fusion of pop melodies and light, snappy arrangements with a hefty rock sound, it’s a Vocaloid number truly worthy of being called a god-tier song.

TAKE ME AWAY feat. AKANE & AKLODJ HAZIME

Alongside DABO and SUIKEN, DJ HAZIME was a driving force in the hip-hop scene of the 1990s.

He’s known as a highly conscientious DJ and a genius who can boss any club.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “TAKE ME AWAY feat.

AKANE & AKLO.” It features AKANE, a young reggae singer, and AKLO, a rapper who commands immense props.

It leans more toward reggaeton than Jamaican reggae, so even those not familiar with reggae should find it approachable.

An upbeat dance track that captures the exhilaration of a party.

DJ Snake’s polished beats intertwine with Peso Pluma’s distinctive vocals, creating a vibe that makes you want to hit the club dance floor.

First premiered at the Coachella music festival in April 2024, it quickly became a hot topic.

This song embodies a fresh musical trend that fuses electronic and Latin sounds, gaining popularity especially among younger listeners.

It’s perfect for dance performances at school festivals and cultural events, and it would also work great as background music to hype up a stage.

A recommended track when you want to have a blast with friends.
