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.

Included as the third track on the first mini-album “Telephone No.1,” released in 2013.
It’s a poppy, colorful, and cute love song with a memorable opening that starts with a telephone ring.
Thinking of inviting her on a picnic date? How about giving her a call? Sadly, they disbanded in 2017.
Let’s hold hands.makomina
The duo unit MakoMina, who also became popular for their “Twin Dance,” released the love song “Let’s Hold Hands” in 2016, which portrays feelings for an older schoolmate and the ups and downs of romance.
You can really picture a girl in love: boldly shouting her love to the person she likes, getting excited as she and her girlfriends share updates about how things are going—it’s all so vivid.
It’s an adorable song, perfect for women who have a crush on an upperclassman.
Since it’s also a dance track, you can have fun with your friends too!

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.
To the Sun in the Palm of Your Handmezamashi terebi All Cast
The theme song for April 2004 was Te no Hira o Taiyō ni, sung by all the Mezamashi TV announcers.
It’s a song the whole family knows, and just listening to it puts you in a good mood! Some of you might have done the Mezamashi Taiso using this song every morning without fail.
From April onward, versions with different artists each month served as the theme song through December of that year.
It’s one of the most memorable theme songs in the show’s history!
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.
Heaven’s NameMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
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
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.
