Songs With Titles Starting With “Nu” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (1–10)
seamDaiki Ueno
Singer-songwriter Daiki Ueno, known for his down-to-earth lyrics and lyrical melodies, hails from Ube City in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Though he devoted himself to soccer during his school years, he had to give it up due to injury and turned to music.
His talent drew early attention, winning the Grand Prix at a Yamaha audition in his senior year of high school.
He made his major-label debut in 2023 with the album “Shinryoku.” “Love Song,” created during his indie period, spread through social media and has surpassed 100 million total streams.
His music, which delicately portrays everyday scenes and subtle emotions, is recommended for anyone seeking songs that can accompany their daily life.

Iginari Tohoku-San is an idol group based in the Tohoku region, popular for their powerful performances.
The only member from Fukushima Prefecture is Huka Ando.
She won the grand prize at an audition held in 2016 and began her entertainment career.
Within the group, she mainly performs J-pop and dance numbers, and true to her nickname “Dance Killer Gal,” she captivates audiences with her sharp moves.
At a dance battle event in June 2025, she led her team to victory and received high praise from the judges for “knowing how to showcase herself.” She also has deep love for her hometown, actively engaging in local initiatives such as creating a collaboration drink using Fukushima peaches and appearing on Fukushima TV’s program “Satafuku.” Her expressive performances are a must-see for anyone who loves energetic idols.
swampSUSHIBOYS
SUSHIBOYS is a hip-hop duo drawing attention for their unique ideas and solid rap skills.
Their track “Numa” is a lead single from their first album in about five years.
Its airy, buoyant beat and instantly memorable flow are addictive.
The lyrics describe the hip-hop world they fell into as a “swamp”—something they can’t escape and don’t want to.
It’s a highly addictive piece that shines with playful spirit and a sharp perspective.
a gap in the skyAdo
Ado, a singer who enjoys overwhelming support from young people.
She’s practically the epitome of a high-vocal-skill artist, drawing attention every time with highly challenging songs.
Among her works, the one I particularly recommend is Nuke Sora.
The tricky point in this piece is, above all, the falsetto.
There are sections where you switch repeatedly between chest voice and falsetto, which demands a high level of pitch control.
Rather than raw power, this song calls for delicacy, so it’s recommended for those who want to train that aspect.
swampMasayoshi Oishi
Masayoshi Oishi is the stage name that singer-songwriter Masayoshi Oishi uses for his work as an anisong singer.
The track Numa from his first album Entertainer features an arrangement that, while reminiscent of classic kayōkyoku ensemble style, also evokes the energy of live call-and-response—an impressive blend.
The lyrics, which liken the feeling of falling in love to sinking into a swamp, carry a contemporary persuasiveness that almost anyone can relate to.
With its hooky melody that makes you want to hum along, it’s an addictive pop tune.
seam openingHachiya Nanashi
This is a mature rock tune infused with elements of funk and jazz.
The song is by Nanashi Hachiya—singer-songwriter Yuri Kuriyama—and was released in 2018.
Its chaotic band sound is addictively captivating; it’ll grab you for sure.
The result will have you unable to stop turning up the volume.
The key shift up a semitone in the final chorus is irresistibly emotional.
It’s a high-sense Vocaloid track that immerses you in the protagonist’s wish: “I want you to believe me.”
warmthTakaya Kawasaki
There are many beautiful piano ballads in the J-POP scene that linger in the heart, but among them, Takaya Kawasaki’s “Nukumori” is truly exceptional.
His gentle, soft singing voice pairs perfectly with the piano! With a slightly husky tone and plenty of breath, his vocal quality keeps even simple melodies from sounding monotonous—that’s the key.
The heartfelt lyrics, written around the theme of “what warmth really is” felt when you can’t meet the person you want to see, pierce the heart precisely because of his voice.
Also, this piece doesn’t rely heavily on a contrast between quiet and dynamic; instead, it flows with a tender, river-like calm, which is striking.
It might be a great listen when you want to settle your mind while studying or working.
