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

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.

Teenage ~Graduation~Raphael
A song by the visual kei metal band Raphael, which went on hiatus after guitarist Kazuki suddenly passed away at the young age of 19 and disbanded following their final live show in 2016.
Included on their second mini-album, “Sotsugyo” (“Graduation”), the track reflects the members’ real-time emotions as teenagers and evokes a sense of accomplishment at having reached the life turning point of graduation.
Its brisk, fast-paced feel and beautiful melody can resonate even in a simple acoustic guitar-and-vocal arrangement.
It’s a perfect number to give as a gift that will be in tune with the feelings of those celebrating their graduation.
Take A BowRihanna
This is a song included on Good Girl Gone Bad, the album released in 2007 by Rihanna, the R&B singer from Barbados.
It’s a breakup song that likens the end of a romance to the closing of a play (the final bow).
It’s a gentle ballad centered on piano accompaniment.
Tear dropRoyz
A gem of a love song by Royz that fills your chest with a bittersweet longing for lost love.
Set to a wistful melody, the lyrics beautifully portray unreachable promises and a lonely heart.
Featured on the album “Tears,” released in February 2013, this track fully showcases the emotional and aesthetic world unique to visual-kei bands.
It resonates deeply with those carrying the pain of heartbreak and a yearning for a past that will never return.
A captivating song that gently embraces those troubled by love, offering courage and hope.
TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTSSALON MUSIC
Hitomi Takenaka of Salon Music is an artist from Hachinohe City.
Salon Music is a New Wave–style alternative unit, offering sounds that range from pop and techno to grunge and heavy rock.
They have garnered support from a very wide audience both in Japan and abroad, and have influenced many artists.
Terra BoySCANDAL
SCANDAL is a girls’ rock band that has been active for many years.
They’ve produced numerous great songs, but one I especially want to recommend is “Terra Boy.” Considering all parts, you can’t quite call the range narrow because a falsetto appears in the B-melody, but aside from that, the song stays within a limited range.
The falsetto itself is on the lower side, so even women who can’t sing very high should be able to manage it comfortably.
It’s also nice that there’s a rap section where you can give your voice a bit of a rest.
TAKE MESCHOOL DAZE
A five-member girls’ group that appeared on Yuji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Tengoku.
Their selling point is songs rooted in rhythm and blues, performed with a rock ’n’ roll flair.
Featuring twin guitars and the mature allure of vocalist Otani, “TAKE ME” is also one of their signature tracks.
Songs with titles starting with “Te.” Perfect for shiritori karaoke or a song-title shiritori! (231–240)
Angel and DemonSEKAI NO OWARI
Among SEKAI NO OWARI’s songs, “Tenshi to Akuma,” released in November 2010, is often cited as one of the easiest to sing.
The lyrics, which touch on bullying and justice, are also striking.
People who encountered the song during their school days have said things like, “Now that I’m an adult, I understand that righteousness alone isn’t justice,” and “Every time I listen, I want to be more tolerant of everything.” Not only is it easy to sing, but it’s also a song packed with lessons we should learn while living in modern society—one you should definitely try singing at karaoke.
