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.

Breakfast at Tiffany’sLANA & LEX
This track, marked by its dreamy melody, is the second brother-sister collaboration by LANA and LEX.
Centered on themes of misunderstanding and making up, the lyrics are compelling for the way they weave in complex emotions.
Released in July 2024, it continues the world established in their previous work, “Akarui Heya” (Bright Room).
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to find special moments in everyday life—great to listen to over breakfast, too.
A fresh, uplifting number that showcases the talents of two artists leading the new generation of the music scene.
Teenage Dreammiwa
A youthful, energetic number that charges straight toward its dreams.
It was written as the opening theme for the anime BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.
Miwa opened up a new frontier with Hikari e, but Teenage Dream might be the most band-driven sound in her career.
Those times when you can lose yourself completely are so much fun—they make you feel alive, don’t they? Playing in a band with your friends can give you those beautiful moments that capture a page of youth.
It’s catchy, so I think a wide range of people can enjoy it at school and cultural festivals.
Teenage SolutionMōningu Musume ’21
With a single spoken line that strikes the heart, “Teenage Solution” is a song by Morning Musume.
’21 that showcases a new era.
The track brilliantly captures the complex emotions and romances of youth, continuing to captivate fans even in the music scene since the 2010s.
The fusion of lyrics provided by Tsunku and arrangement by Shoichiro Hirata gives it a distinctive presence.
It’s also recognized as a popular karaoke choice, with performers conveying emotion through its spoken parts.
The song simultaneously evokes the difficulties of adolescence and a forward-driving energy, leaving a lasting impression on listeners.
Dear Panta RheiUesaka Sumire
Not only as a singer, but also as a voice actress, actress, and TV personality, Sumire Uesaka is active on many fronts.
This is her 15th digital-only single, released in February 2024.
It serves as the ending theme for the TV anime SHAMAN KING FLOWERS.
It’s a cool, up-tempo track with a distinctly heroic mood! Personally, I think the string arrangement adds a great accent.
Since the vocal melody is centered in the lower to mid range, I’d recommend it for women with lower voices when choosing a karaoke song! Be sure to sing with clear dynamics, contrasting the powerful parts with the gentle ones.
Astro BoyKamitakada Shonen Gasshodan
The theme song “Astro Boy,” performed by the Kamitakada Boys’ Choir in 1963, is an iconic track indispensable to any discussion of anime culture.
Its musical sophistication and straightforward lyrics are likely why it continues to be celebrated across generations.
The melody lodges in your ear instantly and evokes a certain nostalgia.
This song introduced many people to anime and has remained beloved by countless listeners.
It’s especially perfect for those who want to recapture the charm of the anime they experienced in childhood.
LetterOkuda Tamio
This is a song by Tamio Okuda that portrays the feeling of one’s heart being constricted by the emotions of love.
The heavy, leisurely progression of the sound is striking, and it powerfully conveys the suffering caused by love.
Even as the rising feelings of love make the narrator unstable, you can sense a determination to move forward—writing a letter to express their feelings, for example.
The way the song depicts carefully facing one’s own heart and the strength to take one step at a time makes it a track that can give you courage in love.
