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.

I touched an angel!Hōkago Tī Taimu
“Touched by an Angel,” known as an insert song from the anime K-On!! by the band Ho-kago Tea Time, is a tear-jerking band ballad filled with heartfelt gratitude passed from seniors to juniors.
Included on the album Ho-kago Tea Time II released in October 2010, it has come to be loved as a classic graduation song beyond the bounds of the series.
Rather than dwelling only on sadness at parting, its warm lyrics trust in the bonds that will continue, gently comforting the listener.
It’s a song that makes you feel the miracle of meeting and hope for the future.
We also recommend singing it at karaoke during farewell parties or graduation season while reminiscing about the days spent with dear friends and juniors.
Take a pictureNiziU
Graduation season brings a sudden surge of chances to take photos with friends and partners.
Seeing smiles and scenery through the lens often makes you want to preserve that moment forever.
Bright dance tracks by NiziU are perfect companions for those tender yet warm feelings.
The title track of their single released in April 2021 is also included on the album “U,” and it drew attention as a Coca-Cola commercial song.
The lyrics overflow with a message to treasure this irreplaceable moment and etch it into your heart.
Even if graduation separates you, looking back at the photos will always bring back the sparkle of that time.
When you’re capturing memories with someone special, play this song and snap the perfect shot!
Teenage BlueEVE
Teenage Blue, written as the ending theme for the TV anime Blue Box that began airing in October 2024, is a rock tune that blends the headlong rush unique to youth with a heart-tightening poignancy.
Its lyrics portray the brilliance of days devoted to club activities and love, along with the transience of time that will one day slip away—resonating deeply not only with current students but also with adults who once lived through that season.
It’s a perfect song to sing with friends at karaoke during graduation season.
Too late caution＝LOVE
The title track of =LOVE’s 3rd single, depicting a forbidden romance set at an all-girls school.
Released in May 2018, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Producer Rino Sashihara penned the lyrics, weaving tense, gripping words to portray a girl’s turmoil as she wavers between society’s “rightness” and an uncontrollable love.
Why not give it a listen when you’re harboring feelings you can’t tell anyone about?
Telecaster B-Boysurii
That crisp guitar sound feels great! This track is by Surii, also known for “Junky Night Town Orchestra,” with a short version released in April 2019.
Its bouncy rhythm and memorable phrases are packed into 60 seconds—truly a quintessential “one-minute Vocaloid” piece.
In 2020, a long version was included on the album Pandemic, and it was also added to the rhythm game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.
Highly recommended when you want to get pumped up!
TetrisHiiragi Magunetaito
This track stands out for its playful arrangement that incorporates a Russian folk melody and for Kasane Teto SV’s cute vocals.
Released in November 2024, it’s a piece by Hiiragi Magnetite.
The brisk beat and chiptune-inspired sound are uplifting, yet the lyrics depict the psyche tossed about by today’s information-saturated society and emotions tormented by self-loathing.
The gap between the poppy sound and introspective lyrics reveals something new with every listen.
Try singing it at karaoke with your fellow Vocaloid fans!

TK parody song medleyKamon Tatsuo
It’s a medley that lines up Tetsuya Komuro’s songs and presents parody versions of them, creating a sense of consistency within its comedic style.
While the lyrics are humorous, the sound and melodies are conscious of the originals, and that stylishness further accentuates the fun.
What’s important is which words are used at the very beginning of each song’s chorus; they bring out similar words and expand ideas from there.
With the overlap of fast-paced sound and comedic lyrics, it feels like a piece that expresses fun in a straightforward way.
