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.

Take It To The LimitThe Eagles

Even if you can’t quite connect social dance BGM with the Eagles—the world-famous rock band America prides itself on—you might be convinced if you recall their classic ballad “Take It to the Limit.” Rather than the band’s main songwriters Don Henley or Glenn Frey, it was bassist Randy Meisner who took the lead vocals on this single released in 1975, and it became a major hit as a beautiful ballad that fully showcased Meisner’s wide vocal range and stunning high notes.

The song has the waltz rhythm known as 3/4 time, and many social dance CDs include rearranged versions of it.

At a party where ’70s rock fans gather, why not show off a dance set to this song?

T.G.I. Friday NightTravis Japan

Travis Japan is an idol group whose performances rival K-pop and are attracting global attention.

They have overwhelming support from women in their teens to thirties.

With many hit songs, one I especially recommend for men with higher voices is T.G.I.

Friday Night.

The rap and falsetto hook are striking, making it a track that really showcases the strengths of higher male voices.

However, since it’s a song performed by multiple members, you might struggle with breathing.

If that’s an issue, plan to skip certain parts as needed.
