Songs with titles that start with 'Ya'

How many songs that start with “Ya” can you think of?

When you put it that way, it’s surprisingly hard to come up with many, isn’t it?

This might come in handy someday—like for themed karaoke sessions, shiritori-style karaoke games, and more.

From classic smash hits to recent chart-toppers, we cover a wide range of songs old and new.

Feel free to use this as a handy reference whenever you need it!

Kōichi Yamadera, who’s so active in the Anpanman series that it’s hard to keep track of all the roles he plays, sings Kamameshidon’s theme song, “Yama-sodachi Kamameshidon.” His performance is truly faithful to the character.

It’s an enka-style number that captures the feel of Kamameshidon’s somewhat accented speech.

It’s a song about being intimidated by a scary person who shows up at a certain famous electronics store, and listening to it vividly conjures up the scene, which is really entertaining.

The lyrics may be pitiful in content, but the phrasing is so cool you can’t help wanting to say them out loud.

The music video also has a few moments that’ll make you chuckle.
