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.

Promise / Harumaki Gohan Vocal ver. Anime MV
promiseharumakigohan

This is a Vocaloid song that lets you bask in a nostalgic mood.

It’s a track by the multi-talented Harumaki Gohan, who also creates the illustrations and video, released in 2019.

One of its charms is the soft, dreamlike sound arrangement imbued with a clear, airy atmosphere.

The piano’s tone resonates gently.

The highly narrative lyrics, which recall promises from childhood, spark all kinds of imagination.

As you listen, you might find yourself shedding tears without even noticing.

By the way, the video features a version sung by Harumaki Gohan himself.

Yami modepaatii inkya

“Yami Mode” is a passionate track by Party Inkya that shines a spotlight on the hearts of today’s youth.

As it weaves together self-expression and the pursuit of trends, it delivers a powerful message about individuality and why it matters.

Immediately after its release in August 2023, it captured many hearts, sparked widespread empathy, and its biting message spread across social media.

This piece pairs a sharp gaze at society and an introspective search for one’s place with high-sense production.

Listeners find themselves saying, “I feel the same way.” It questions what it means to be “yamu” (to struggle mentally), portrays the loneliness young people face, and carries a wish for everyone to cherish their own value as they live.

kite (traditional Japanese kite, lit. “servant/henchman kite”)fuki no tō

Let me introduce “Yakko-dako,” a song by Fuki no Tou, a folk duo from Hokkaido who debuted in 1974 and were active for 18 years until 1994.

The song centers on the theme of kites flown high during the New Year.

You can picture a kite gliding freely through the sky, unconcerned with the passage of time.

Since their breakup, there hasn’t been any talk of a reunion, and perhaps the members of Fuki no Tou are each freely walking their own paths now.

It’s a charming song that I recommend for the New Year season.

It is singer-songwriter Mai Fukui’s second single, released in November 2011.

It was selected as the theme song for the PS3 game Final Fantasy XIII-2.

It ranked 26th on the Oricon chart.

“Yajirushi→,” the opening theme for the anime Slow Loop, was released in 2022 by the music duo Pokapoka Ion, formed by Nao Toyama and Kiyono Yasuno.

Because the melody has minimal pitch changes and follows a steady rhythm, it’s great for karaoke beginners.

Try singing it at a relaxed pace along with the soft, fluffy synth tones.

With its refreshing female vocal harmonies, it also works well as a duet with friends or family.

Enjoy this anime song filled with a warm message for the future.

Medicine Box / Kafun – Polypho

If you feel resigned, thinking “There’s no point in telling the truth,” try listening to this song.

Kusuribako (Medicine Box) by PolyphonicBranch, also known as Porifo, was released in May 2023.

Its relaxed, leisurely tempo and melody line that almost sounds like a nursery rhyme leave a strong impression.

It’s very pleasant to listen to, yet there’s a certain shadow in the lyrics, and that gap really gets to you.

It might be perfect for those solitary moments when you want to reflect on life.

Go for it! Sound Battlemarashii

Do Your Best! Sound Battle / marasy feat. Hatsune Miku
Go for it! Sound Battlemarashii

It’s a Japanese-flavored upper-tune that sweeps your ears and heart away with its momentum! Composed by Marasy, a renowned pianist, the track was released in August 2023.

It was created as the theme song for the concert “Marafes 2023,” held the same year.

The concert had originally been planned for 2020, but it was canceled due to the pandemic and other circumstances.

The song’s explosive energy and lyrics feel like they’re blowing off all that pent-up frustration—that’s its big charm.

It features a twin-vocal style, so it’s also a great pick if you’re looking for a duet song.
