Lovely karaoke song

Songs that start with 'Vu'. For shiritori, karaoke, and playlist selection.

In this article, I’ll be introducing lots of Vocaloid songs whose titles start with the katakana “ヴ.”

When it comes to words starting with “ヴ” that might be used in song titles, examples include “Venus” (ヴィーナス), “Vampire” (ヴァンパイア), and “Vintage” (ヴィンテージ).

If you’re familiar with plenty of Japanese songs, a few tracks probably came to mind as soon as you saw these words.

This time, I’ve selected a wide range—from famous hits to hidden gems—so please enjoy discovering both classics and songs you might not know yet.

Feel free to use this as inspiration for shiritori with song titles, as well as for choosing tracks for karaoke or your playlists.
