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)

Here’s a nostalgia-filled track that works great for both all-male and all-female bands: “tender.” Its mid-tempo feel and steady rhythm make it approachable even for beginner bands.

The key isn’t particularly high either, so it’s friendly for those handling guitar-vocals.

The clever wordplay—rhyming line endings with the word “tender,” which means “kindness”—is excellent and makes it really singable.

It’s a perfect choice to add dynamic contrast in a live set, so I’d love to see you perform it.

Teresa, Forever — Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love, Insert Song, Showa 53 (1978) Version, Full Chorus (Analog Record Audio)

This is the ending theme of Space Battleship Yamato 2.

In fact, the character Teresa is quite mysterious, and her settings differ in the theatrical version and later remakes, so it’s a bit questionable whether she can really be called a princess.

However, in terms of her role, she’s similar to the “princess position” character that often appears in stories like this, so I think it’s fine to call her a princess.

To Terra – Satapan-P feat. Hatsune Miku, Teto Kasane / TERAE – Satapan-P feat. Hatsune Miku, Teto Kasane
To Terrasatapan P

Created by Satapan, this work was released in August 2024.

It’s also known as a participant track in “Vocaeri 2024 Summer.” Classified under genres like J-core and denpa, it features a fast BPM, flashy beats, and unpredictable song development.

The lyrics overflow with love for food—like rice and cutlets—bringing joy to listeners.

Beneath that, however, lies a composition that seems to convey a cynical message about modern society.

It’s the perfect track for lifting your mood or losing yourself in music and forgetting everything else.

Ten Made Todoke is a classic whose beautiful guitar arpeggios and gentle vocals resonate soothingly.

This song, which depicts the meeting with a loved one in a refreshing way, is also highly popular as a choral piece and is performed by various choirs.

While it has a wide vocal range and the original key is on the high side, its relaxed tempo and simple rhythm mean it’s by no means difficult to sing.

To express the song’s calm, serene world with smooth vocals, it’s also recommended to adjust the key to a comfortable range for your voice.

The moment I first heard them, I was instantly drawn into the band’s unique world.

Not only are the vocals soft and the melody soothing, but it’s also a track that can put you in a melancholic mood.

The music video is very stylish, too.

I recommend this band to anyone who’s feeling sentimental.

Many people are surely fans of this eerie worldview.

This piece, created by Jorujin—also known as Dark Fairy Tale P—and released in 2020, has a very catchy tone and melody, but if you follow the lyrics, you’ll sense the horror.

Its subject is the historical figure Elizabeth Báthory… though I can’t recommend looking her up.

Still, it’s a highly original Vocaloid track that only Jorujin could elevate in this way.
