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! (301–310)

Again, Sekai o Ikiru-san’s “Tenran” brilliantly fuses Yuzuki Yukari’s clear vocals with profound lyrics.

This song, which chronicles the complexities and pains of life, has the power to strike listeners with lightning-like emotion.

It’s a masterpiece that makes perfect sense of Sekai o Ikiru-san’s first induction into the Hall of Fame, leaving an unforgettable, powerful impression after a single listen.

It deftly expresses society’s contradictions and inner turmoil, prompting deep reflection in its audience.

Nonsense of HeavenMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto

The idol group Momoiro Clover Z enjoys immense popularity.

Among their songs, Tengoku no Detarame has become a talking point for how moving it is.

It’s the third installment in their five-month consecutive release project.

The song carries a message of accepting and affirming a present that’s different from what you once imagined.

The first half is mid-tempo, but as it moves into the latter half, it slows down and shifts into a ballad-like style.

So by the time you finish listening, you’re likely to feel calm and at peace.

Momoiro Clover Z is a girl group that debuted in 2009.

They originally had five members, but after Momoka Ariyasu graduated in 2018, they have been active as a four-member group.

This song is one of the more subdued tracks in Momoclo’s catalog, and during live performances you can immerse yourself in its gentle atmosphere.

Celestial Musicyūyu

Tengaku / yuyu feat. Kagamine Rin
Celestial Musicyūyu

It’s rock where the deep bass that hits from the very beginning pairs perfectly with Kagamine Rin’s soaring, almost screaming vocals.

In the final chorus, there’s a feeling like a large chrysanthemum blooming in sync with her voice.

The original is great, of course, but I also highly recommend the cover by the artist Wagakki Band.

The techno music themed around “the sounds a washing machine makes” pairs perfectly with Kagamine Rin’s vocals.

Released in November 2024, this song is quintessential Yukatefu: a novelty track built on everyday “relatable moments.” It vividly and humorously portrays the lively dynamics of the Kagamine household.

The rhythm is so catchy that your body starts swaying on its own.

Don’t ask yourself “How did we get here?”—just surrender your body and soul to the fun music.

Heavenyuzu

Yuzu “Heaven” solo acoustic performance — from the EP “Utao” releasing on 6/21 — (lyrics available with subtitles ON; codes included in the description)

Included on the 2017 EP “Utaou.” A folk duo from Kanagawa Prefecture formed in 1996.

This track was recorded as a one-take live performance with vocals and acoustic guitar.

The tender acoustic guitar tones and well-balanced harmonies seep gently into the heart, creating a beautifully finished piece.

Heaven and Hellrereriri

Heaven and Hell -Kotonoha Rinne- - rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI / Heaven and Hell rerulili feat. MIKU & GUMI
Heaven and Hellrereriri

It’s one of the songs from the cross-media “Kotonoha Project.” Created by the popular Vocaloid producer rerulili—known for continually releasing hits like “Nou Shou Sakuretsu Girl”—it was released in 2017.

It’s an upbeat four-on-the-floor track, and the funky, technically intricate bassline is just irresistibly cool.

The lyrics carry a passionate message: there’s no such thing as perfection in this world, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting—words that really set your heart on fire.

If you focus on delivering the vocals crisply, you might be able to better capture the song’s vibe.
