Songs with titles that start with 'Ya'

This article introduces songs with titles that start with “Ya” (や).

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!

It’s a set of lyrics that seriously contemplates what kindness is, a masterpiece that could be called Yasushi Akimoto at his very best.

Nanami Hashimoto serves as the center, and the song is packed with her charm.

I’m sure it will move your heart.

The collaboration between the beautiful piano tones and Miki Imai’s gentle, soaring voice is wonderful.

It’s a song that sings of a woman’s desire to have a strong, almost wild heart.

Among Miki Imai’s many songs, this is one of my favorites.

Soft and gentle momentsKakuma Ai

MomoKuri, well known from the free manga app comico, has been made into an anime.

This is the song used as its ending theme.

Since the song is performed by Ai Kakuma, the voice actress who plays the main heroine Yuki Kurihara, it has that typical anime-song feel.

Yasushi Akimoto produced Yoshimotozaka46, the third idol group in the Sakamichi Series, formed by talents from Yoshimoto Kogyo.

You’d expect it to be, well, very Yoshimoto Kogyo… right? But it’s actually super cool and stylish.

The songs are really good, too.

The choreography looks pretty challenging—and no wonder, it’s choreographed by BOW from Tokyo Gegegay.

As a mixed-gender dance track, how about trying to dance to it in a cool, sharp style?
