Songs with titles that start with “De.” Hints for karaoke and shiritori! (201–210)
DepartureGraupel
The hottest band in the domestic metalcore scene is Graupel—pronounced “Grau-pel.” Though young, their technique and the meticulously crafted quality of their songwriting are undeniable.
You could say they encapsulate everything that makes metalcore compelling: deft shifts between speed and heaviness, scream vocals that lay emotions bare, and a fusion of loud, crushing sound with catchy melodies.
Also noteworthy is their complex yet fluid chord work, influenced by post-black metal.
Deep Sleep SheepHACHI
I’d like to introduce “Deep Sleep Sheep,” a groove-filled track that portrays heartbreak.
It’s a release by HACHI, a singer who made her debut after gaining traction on a streaming app.
Set to a gentle, subdued melody, she delivers a soft, tender vocal performance.
The lyrics center on the theme of lost love, but instead of describing it outright, they use metaphor to express sorrow and futility.
Give it a listen with an ear for the richness of the phrasing.
dear DREAMERHIPPY
Hippy is a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
He served as the vocalist for the band maegashira, which was active from 2001 until it disbanded in 2011.
Since then, he has pursued a solo career.
In 2020, he drew attention for a collaboration with TEE on the track “dear DREAMER.” The song was inspired by former professional baseball player Tsuyoshi Shinjo’s attempt to return to pro baseball, and it was chosen as the theme song for the 2020 Summer Hiroshima Prefectural High School Baseball Tournament on Hiroshima Home TV.
EncounterHY
With its simple title, “Encounter,” I felt this song was a perfect fit to introduce in this article.
The lyrics can be understood as talking about a lover, but not only that—don’t you also have those meaningful encounters with friends, seniors, or mentors, where you feel, “Meeting this person changed my life or the way I see things”? Listening to this song brings up feelings of gratitude for those precious encounters and a desire to support the people who matter to you.
DEAR MY LOVERHey! Say! JUMP
A sparkling love song themed around a loop of happiness, yet its slightly toxic lyrics are also striking.
Released in May 2023 as the 33rd single, it drew attention as the theme song for the TBS drama “King’s Affection for the Ring Finger” (Ōsama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi).
Its catchy choreography stands out as well, with Hey! Say! JUMP launching an official TikTok account and posting dance videos as a new experiment.
The lyrics—centered on love, bonds, and the strength to face adversity—perfectly match the drama’s worldview.
You can feel the resolve to accept everything about the other person and pursue happiness together.
At karaoke, the pop-laden melody and upbeat lyrics are sure to get friends excited.
Dear My FriendsHi-STANDARD
Hi-STANDARD, a Japanese punk band that gained huge popularity in the ’90s.
Their song “Dear My Friends” is a classic that pairs a straightforward Hi-STANDARD-style beat with heartfelt feelings for dear friends.
In particular, lyrics like “It feels so good to be alive” and “I’m going to do things my own way” help turn the confusion of graduation into a positive outlook—that’s the charm of this track.
The lyrics are written in simple English, so singing along to lift your spirits is a great idea!
Dear♡My Friend (feat. Kapi)HONEY WORKS
The creator unit HoneyWorks and the vocalist Kapi make an unmissable release with their golden tag-team, who have produced massive hits: “Dear♡My Friend (feat.
Kapi).” The song’s lyrics depict the struggle of not being able to be honest and the self-loathing that comes with it.
While incorporating striking phrases, the pop sound brings it all together with a girly vibe.
It’s also a clever touch that different parts convey the perspectives of different characters.
