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.

Take It OffThe Donnas
A track released in 2003 by the American hard rock band The Donnas.
It reached No.
17 on the U.S.
charts.
It has been used in numerous media, including the films DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story and The Hangover.
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?

TenkasuTohji
It’s an energetic, impactful hip-hop track.
Tohji’s “Tenkasu,” released in December 2024, draws listeners in with its distinctive flow.
The track simultaneously carries heat and cool, and its provocative lyrics question what it truly means to be a heavyweight.
It naturally lifts your spirits as you listen.
Experience Tohji’s new challenge as he pushes beyond the boundaries of music.
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.
Heaven and HellUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
In August 2014, UNISON SQUARE GARDEN released a high-energy, fast-paced track.
Featured on the album “Catcher In The Spy,” the song is highly regarded as a piece that distills the band’s appeal.
Kosuke Saito’s clear, transparent vocals pair perfectly with the sharp, edgy band ensemble, giving the song a universal quality that resonates with all kinds of listeners.
The lyrics include the phrase “count heaven and hell,” which seems to convey the importance of judging and accepting life’s good and bad, success and failure, for yourself.
The song is also a live favorite, often prompting massive sing-alongs and securing its status as one of the band’s signature tracks.
It’s popular at karaoke as well, covering a wide vocal range and suiting many singers.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking excitement and fun in their daily life.
Divine Punishment! Angel RabieUNDER17
A masterpiece that can be called a must-play denpa song.
Released in November 2002 as the theme song for a KOGADO Studio game, this UNDER17 track leaves a unique impression with its high-pitched vocals, catchy melody, and repeated onomatopoeia.
It was later chosen as the main theme for an OVA in 2004 and included on the album “With Love to Bishoujo Game Songs!!”.
Its simple yet poppy sound and addictive progression have made it a karaoke staple.
With this track, UNDER17 cemented their place in the denpa-song scene and greatly influenced anime and game music.
It’s the perfect song for those who want to sing, dance, and have a blast with friends at karaoke.
