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.

T.C Speakerat Anytime
A melodic hardcore tune included on a mini-album released in 2015.
The classic, straightforward song—showcasing the space in the sound unique to a three-piece and letting the vocals shine—is pleasantly satisfying.
Hailing from Mie Prefecture, they’re affectionately known among fans as “Atoeni.”

tenderback number
One song that lets you feel their early musical style, “tender.” This track encapsulates the early hallmarks of back number with its loud sound and arrangement.
Some listeners may feel put off by intense-sounding songs.
While it’s true that the track maintains a loud feel throughout, the vocal line itself is quite simple.
There aren’t drastic pitch jumps, so as long as you can hold your long tones, anyone can sing it.
If you want to sing it even better, raise the key by one or two steps so that a natural shout comes out in the higher range.
Heaven’s Doorfumika
Included on the 2013 album “POP SISTER.” Winner of the RecoChoku Audition Grand Prix.
A singer born in 1989 from Fukuoka Prefecture.
This song is what gave her the break to debut.
I think her sweet, clear voice suits the slowly unfolding ballad very well.
TELL MEhide
hide from X JAPAN.
He was also active as a solo artist, and at the time he was wildly popular—not only among women but also among men.
I imagine many men in their 40s were fans.
Among hide’s songs, the one I especially recommend is TELL ME.
It’s a straightforward rock track, but the vocal line is simple without complex pitch changes.
The range is narrow too, so even those who can’t sing very high should be able to handle it without any trouble.
Telephoneiri feat. 5lack
A coming-of-age song by iri and SLACK that captures a neo-pop sound while blending in textures from disco and jazz.
With a high-sense, contemporary mood that shines through, it’s crafted to stir the urge to listen in September.
telepathkao
Kao is a rock band that incorporates electronic elements.
When they uploaded their first music video to YouTube in 2021, word of mouth spread rapidly, and by the following year they held their first solo headlining show.
Although the show was self-produced, tickets sold out in no time.
To get to know them, I recommend starting with “telepath.” It features a sound that blends machine noises you won’t hear elsewhere, such as Morse code.
tearsLiSA
A famous masterpiece that became well-known as the ending theme for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY and Special Edition II: The Eyes of Each.
If you know this work, just listening to it will give you chills and make your heart race non-stop!
