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.

Even as you brave the June rain, Fumido’s “Te wo Tsunaidara” cheers you on.

Its sound flows as if resonating through the rainy-season sky, lifting your spirits.

This song, which speaks for the tender, introspective feelings that come with June, is one that makes you feel like you can keep going through the rainy season.

Let me introduce the beautiful ballad song “Tenchu.” This track was released by Vocaloid producer Moimi Kashii.

In the first half, it features gentle vocals set to a piano-centered melody.

The chorus reaches quite high notes, but because the progression is that of a classic ballad, it should be easy to sing even for those unfamiliar with Vocaloid songs.

Do note, however, that there’s a rap section in the latter half and a part at the end with notes even higher than the chorus.

If you can sing this, you’re sure to impress.

Like the nursery song that appears repeatedly in the film The Tale of The Princess Kaguya, this piece was also created by director Isao Takahata and screenwriter Riko Sakaguchi.

It may sound a bit cheerful, but it’s the music that plays in the background during the climax.

If you listen while watching the visuals, you’ll surely feel something different.

If you haven’t seen it yet, please do.

It’s a song by Utsu-P, who is also the bassist of the band Ohayougozaimasu.

It was released in 2018.

The emotional screams in the chorus are truly stirring.

It was chosen as the theme song for the hero 13 in the game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” You don’t often get to hear VOCALOID delivering death growls.

I mean,DREAMS COME TRUE

The love story, woven as if it were a drama, gives you the same thrill as reading a book.

From the pop, bright music, the very first word of the lyrics hits like a shock.

“So this kind of unrequited love exists too.” It’s a song that makes you think just that.

Everyday life in heaven and hellGAO

At first glance, GAO leaves a strong impression with a powerful singing voice and appearance that might make you think she’s a male artist, but she is of course a quintessential female artist of the 1990s.

Even in her debut track, she showcases her signature strength—her commanding vocals—set against a hard-edged sound.

Theme from JawsJohn Williams

A track included on the soundtrack of the popular 1975 film Jaws, composed by John Williams, who also wrote themes for films like Star Wars.

Famous as the theme of Jaws, this piece is a simple track that skillfully mixes tension and release, yet features an unforgettable phrase that, once heard, sticks in your mind.

It heightens anxiety and fear with rich horror elements, creating music that makes your spine tingle.
