Songs with titles that start with “Gu.” Great for your karaoke selection!
Have you ever played shiritori using song titles—connecting the last letter of a song title to choose the next one—in a shiritori karaoke game? Unlike regular shiritori, it’s surprisingly hard to come up with song titles, which actually makes it really fun.
To help in those moments, this article will introduce songs whose titles start with “gu.” We’ve gathered a variety of tracks across genders and genres, so feel free to use this as a reference for shiritori or picking songs for karaoke.
Songs whose titles start with “Gu.” For your karaoke selection! (1–10)
GUDAGUDANEW!Fushi
It’s a track that overwhelms you with its energetic guitar-rock sound.
Released in September 2025, the music video was created by Yoshida Nasubi and SPIKE.
The song portrays the drive to move forward despite feelings of restlessness and wavering, riding on a fast-paced, exhilarating band sound.
The punchy sonic impact that hits your ears and mind is insanely cool! Give it a listen when you want to blast away that foggy, unsettled mood!
GOOD DAYNEW!Mrs. GREEN APPLE
Released in September 2025 as the sixth installment of a six-month consecutive release, this is a pivotal track that caps off Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s year.
It’s a rock number that powerfully affirms that “life is truly wonderful,” while acknowledging its ups and downs.
Motoki Omori has said that this work marked a turning point in his mindset as a songwriter, signaling a new frontier for the band.
Chosen as the commercial song for Kirin Beer’s new brand, Kirin Good Ale, the track also features Motoki Omori appearing in the ad.
It’s a song that stands by you when you want to look ahead in your daily life or lift your spirits.
As one of 2025’s hit songs, it’s definitely a number we’d love to hear on the Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Good nightNEW!Merokuru
This is a chill R&B track with a pleasant acoustic texture.
Produced by Vocaloid producer Merokuru, the song was released in 2023.
Naoto’s warm guitar tone is especially striking.
Kagamine Rin’s gently supportive vocals are lovely as well, and the harmony of it all is soothing.
The lyrics speak to a loved one, saying “let’s spend tomorrow together no matter the weather.” The intimate sense of distance in this worldbuilding feels like it gently unravels your heart.
It’s a perfect song for unwinding at the end of the day.
Green AcresNEW!Hi-STANDARD
It sings about those contradictory feelings of loving the city yet yearning for the countryside.
This track is included on the classic album “MAKING THE ROAD,” released in June 1999 and selling over 600,000 copies, and serves as a kind of palate cleanser within the album.
Doesn’t its laid-back vibe naturally bring a smile to your face? It’s a number I’d love you to listen to when city life starts to feel a bit stifling.
GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
With lyrics by Ai Yazawa, the original author of NANA, and composition/production by HYDE, it was a smash hit created by an all-star team! The song itself isn’t too high, so it’s in a range that many women can sing comfortably—so I imagine a lot of people choose it.
However, the highest note E5 appears at the end of the second chorus.
That’s where you’ll want to nail it with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to be nasal and are harder to produce than other sounds.
So try projecting your voice a bit stronger than you think! Make sure to place the accents firmly to match the timing there.
If the key feels difficult, it’s fine to use falsetto at first.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger falsetto; brace your lower abdomen and add those accents!
Grazioso LoveMegumi Sakino
A track defined by its graceful, sophisticated melody.
This is Megumi Sakino’s debut single, slated for release in December 2024.
True to its title, which means “gracefully,” her calm, soothing vocals leave a strong impression.
The lyrics, which gently look back on days gone by, resonate deeply with listeners.
Created in collaboration with Terumi Takaoka, the song has a warm finish that evokes the essence of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
Filled with Sakino’s heartfelt emotions, it’s a must-listen for fans of classic Japanese pop.
Recommended for those who seek the comforting blend of nostalgia and freshness in her voice.
Goodbye, bad boyNanahoshi Orchestra
A work by Vocaloid producer Nanahoshi Orchestra, released in September 2025.
This piece is a pep song that gives a firm push to those who are smoldering as they struggle to become somebody.
Its brisk, catchy melody carries a message of irony toward stagnation and a vow to break away, drawing you into its drama.
GUMI’s powerful vocals are another highlight.
It’s sure to ignite the heart of anyone who wants to break through their current situation.
