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.

VacationHirota Mieko

A classic summer song featuring the powerful vocals of Mieko Hirota—affectionately known as “Punch no Miko-chan.” The moment you hear its distinctive calls, it feels like an invitation to a heart-thumping vacation.

Released in October 1962 as a cover of a Western song, it celebrates the joys of holidays not just in summer, but across all seasons.

Beyond her commanding singing, the song’s hopeful atmosphere evokes Japan’s bright future as it headed into the period of rapid economic growth—simply the best.

Some may remember that this piece marked her first appearance at the 13th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, where she gained nationwide popularity.

It’s a tune that will naturally bring smiles when everyone hums along.

VALENTIBoA

Dubbed the “Queen of K-POP,” BoA burst onto the Japanese music scene like a comet in the early 2000s.

The single she released in Japan in August 2002 is a dance track distinguished by passionate Latin rhythms, which shocked music fans at the time.

The lyrics convey a will to believe firmly in oneself, to carve out the future as if in battle, and a fervent determination to stay true to love no matter the difficulties.

The album bearing this song’s title, VALENTI, was released in January 2003, debuting at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart and achieving million-seller status.

It was also widely loved as the theme for the PS2 game PROJECT MINERVA and the music program JAPAN COUNTDOWN.

Sing it at karaoke and you’re sure to relive the heat of that era and get an instant boost of energy.

VedaThe Chorizo Vibes

The Chorizo Vibes, a four-piece band based in Sakai, Osaka, are drawing attention with a one-of-a-kind sound that skillfully fuses punk rock and ska.

Formed in 2009 and solidifying their current lineup in 2013 after member changes, the band has established a hybrid style centered on melodic punk while embracing diverse influences such as Latin and jazz.

The layered ensemble born from Ryohei Noguchi’s exceptional songwriting sense and Isamu Kando’s alternating guitar/sax performances sparks fervent reactions at every show.

They joined Ailet Records in 2014 and released their long-awaited first full-length album, “Jigoku no Heisei Rhapsody,” in 2018.

With a freewheeling musicality that lightly leaps over genre boundaries and a unique worldview inspired by motifs like kappas and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the band is a perfect fit for music fans drawn to distinctive crossover sounds.

An expressive track that draws you into its downer mood.

Released in February 2020, this piece by Teniwoha features v_flower’s decadent vocal work that leaves a strong impression.

The sonic blend of a distinctive beat and guitar sounds is highly addictive, and the lyrics—centered on a transgender theme—cut deep into contemporary society.

I think it will especially resonate with anyone wanting to reexamine their true self!
