Lovely karaoke song

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.

Songs with titles starting with “Te”. Perfect for Shiritori karaoke or song-title Shiritori! (281–290)

TAKE 2kaie

First, give it a listen… the opening development of the track really showcases sharp musical sensibility.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Kai-e, released in 2021.

The stylish, jazzy sound is a pleasure to hear.

And be sure to pay attention to the word choices in the lyrics, which create a striking contrast with the sound image.

It feels like an expression only Kai-e could achieve.
