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!

A Soft DaySaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Gentle Day [2008 ver].
A Soft DaySaitō Kazuyoshi

It begins gently with layered choruses going “pa-pa-pa-pa,” and though the acoustic guitar’s soft strumming keeps the sound unfolding softly, the lyrics are anything but soft.

Kazuyoshi Saito often takes everyday conversation and day-to-day happenings and suddenly steers them toward a big theme; this song follows that progression too, with its big theme being “an incredible love.”

The piano melody adds a sense of power.

It shifts into a restless, itching sound that makes you feel like you could burst outside at any moment.

Each lively rhythm pops and draws you into the world of the piece.

This is the second opening theme of Pokémon: Best Wishes.

It’s a song that expresses adventure and moving forward as an “arrow.” With its light tempo, it strongly conveys the feeling of pressing straight ahead no matter what.

It’s a song that seems to portray a moment when, upon encountering someone’s kindness, the narrator becomes aware of the darker emotions within themselves—like a desire for self-display—and ends up disliking who they are.

In the end, though, there’s a faint sense of hope, a wish to repay the person who showed them kindness.

Sheena Ringo – Demo tapes 02 – 14. Rain Falling in the Darkness
Rain Falling in the DarkShiina Ringo

An interlude track from the album “Shōso Strip,” its dark worldview has made it popular, and when it’s performed live, it really hits fans hard.

Though dark, the love depicted is incredibly pure.

It’s a song sung by a woman with a lonely heart, pleading to stay by someone’s side and promising to protect them by any means.
