Songs whose titles start with “Do” – Solo Karaoke / Song-Title Shiritori

There are lots of words that start with “do,” like “Don’t,” “Dream,” “doko” (where), and “drama.” In particular, there are many English words, and quite a few are used in song titles.

In this article, I’ll be introducing a bunch of songs with titles that start with “do”! I hope it’ll be useful as hints for “song-title shiritori” or “shiritori karaoke,” or for making playlists of “songs that start with ___.”

Uru’s clear, translucent voice resonates no matter what song she sings.

Even before her major-label debut, she was known for uploading numerous cover videos on her YouTube channel.

Since debuting, she has often included cover songs on her original albums, and her name frequently comes up when people talk about female singers who excel at covers.

Songs like “Prologue” and “Anata ga Iru Koto de” are cited as her signature tracks, and she is a versatile artist who has performed theme songs across a wide range of media, including TV dramas, movies, and anime.

VACHSS is a group formed around popular male NIJISANJI Livers such as ChroNoiR’s Kuzuha and Kanae, Hayato Kagami, Minato Fuwa, Touya Kenmochi, and Sho Yumeoi.

While each of them is a streamer with a comedic side, as VACHSS they deliver an exceptionally cool performance, and that gap has knocked out many female listeners.

Their track “DOGLAND” is a signature piece—immerse yourself in its slightly dark, stylish world.

Don’t Leave Me NowBOWWOW

This is the second single by the Japanese HM/HR band VOW WOW, released in July 1987.

It came out during the period when the band had shifted their base of operations to the UK, leveraging their distinctly non-Japanese vocal style, voice, and sound.

John Wetton—formerly of ASIA and KING CRIMSON—handled the lyrics and bass on this track.

Since this article focuses on the theme of “male vocalists with captivating high notes,” I’ll center on the vocals of Genki Hitomi.

Often referred to as the Japanese David Coverdale (of Deep Purple and Whitesnake), his singing ability can only be described as superb.

Even in the ultra-high notes at the end of the song, his voice never thins or weakens in the slightest—that’s truly remarkable!

DON’T TRY SO HARDWANDS

WANDS (DON'T TRY SO HARD) LIVE (volume warning)
DON'T TRY SO HARDWANDS

A song by WANDS, a three-piece rock band that ranked among the top of the Being label artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.

Featured on their fourth album, “PIECE OF MY SOUL,” it takes a rock ballad approach that stands apart from their earlier pop-leaning sound—very cool.

The depth of the ensemble born from its dark atmosphere makes it perfect for those who want a karaoke pick that stands out from the crowd.

It’s a challenging song to sing, but its unique worldview is the charm of this sophisticated, moody number.

How is it? ft. ANARCHYwatson

This track really captures a new wave in Japanese hip-hop.

The lyrics, which weave in Watson’s hometown of Tokushima and his personal experiences, are deeply moving.

He candidly lays out the tension between self-assessment and society’s expectations, and it’s bound to grab listeners by the heart.

The collaboration with ANARCHY is spot-on too, with their distinct personalities blending seamlessly.

The song is included on Watson’s debut album, “Soul Quake,” released in December 2023.

It’s a must-listen for anyone chasing a dream or searching for their own path.

YBO2 – Dogla Magla II (1985)

My brain gets scrambled by its avant-garde sound.

It’s a track by YBO2, a band active in the 1980s rock scene, released as their first single in 1986.

The song is based on Yumeno Kyūsaku’s masterpiece Dogra Magra.

It feels as if that infamous book—said to “inevitably derange the reader’s mind”—has been turned directly into music.

Yet, perhaps thanks to its light, nimble rhythm, it’s strangely addictive and begs to be replayed.

Containing both terror and addictiveness, it remains utterly fresh, with no sense of being dated, even long after its release.

YUKI, known as the former lead vocalist of JUDY AND MARY and celebrated as a solo singer-songwriter for her cute singing voice, has also enjoyed wide popularity.

Her 11th single, “Dramatic,” was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Honey and Clover and as an insert song in the film Peach Girl.

The lyrics, which evoke the image of looking back on various pasts while moving toward a new future, resonate with the theme of a milestone day marked by a major decision.

It’s a refreshing pop tune distinguished by her piercing high-tone vocals and breezy strings.
