There are lots of words that start with “pa,” like “puzzle,” “punk,” and “party,” and plenty of songs that begin with those words, too.
In this article, we’ll introduce a bunch of songs whose titles start with “pa.”
Use it as a hint for games like “song shiritori,” where you play using only song titles, or “shiritori karaoke,” where you link songs in a chain while singing at karaoke.
It can also help when you want to create a playlist themed around the Japanese syllabary, like a “songs starting with the ‘pa’ row” list.
You might even discover tracks you don’t usually sing or listen to!

Bread PandaNEW!Yu Yokoyama / Ryuhei Maruyama (Kanjani Eight)
An adorable song set in a fantastical world where twin pandas go on a journey in search of food.
It’s a unit song by Hiroshi Yokoyama and Ryuhei Maruyama, included on the regular edition of the album “FIGHT,” released in November 2011.
Lyrics by AMO and composition by Hidenori Tanaka.
The pop, light melody and gentle harmonies are soothing, and just listening to it will warm your heart.
Recommended for those looking for a song to enjoy with children!
PastoralNEW!Aimer
This is a double A-side single by Aimer, with the track pre-released on October 6, 2025.
It starts relatively low, and the chorus is sung with a light, almost falsetto-like tone.
Since the range shifts with each melodic section, be careful not to let your pitch drop too much.
When singing, keeping your facial muscles lifted helps you switch smoothly when the melody or pitch changes—highly recommended.
If you’re good at singing lightly without belting, you’ll likely find it easy from the start.
The tempo isn’t very fast, so remember to take breaths at each phrase.
Paradichlorobenzene ver.2025Owata-P
This work sings about the hypocrisy that pervades the internet and the absurdities of human relationships.
Released in September 2025, the track is a rearranged version of a classic originally put out in 2009.
You’ll be drawn in by its razor-sharp electronic sound and the even more translucent vocal performance.
The lyrics also weave in irony about continuing to sing without questioning meaning.
Why not listen to it while reflecting on the past?
PUZZLEShota Shimizu
It’s a gospel-style cheer song that fills your heart with the bonds of friendship and hope for the future.
The fact that Shota Shimizu returned to his hometown of Osaka and created it together with students from his alma mater adds an extra layer of warmth to the piece.
Released in October 2024, it was later included on the album “Pulsatilla cernua.” The choral performance with around 20 students on THE FIRST TAKE is truly overwhelming.
If you’re taking on a challenge with your team or stepping into something new, listening to it will surely give you courage.
Its polished sound also pairs perfectly with a leisurely café time on your day off.
Perfect Blue (feat. Tiji Jojo, Daichi Yamamoto, RYO-Z)STUTS & ZOT on the WAVE
This track is a collaboration by the powerhouse producer unit STUTS and ZOT on the WAVE, featuring an all-star lineup of guest artists.
Produced as the unit’s second single in July 2025, it includes contributions from Tiji Jojo, Daichi Yamamoto, and RYO-Z of RHYMESTER.
A smooth track themed around summer drives and the glossy tones of a talkbox make a strong impression.
Energetic flows, emotive rap, and verses radiating veteran poise come together to create a mellow, groovy soundscape.
Another highlight is that this marks STUTS and RYO-Z’s first collaboration since “Magic Hour.” Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind with some chill hip-hop.
paradeTakamichi Kasai (Amefurashi Quartet)
Takamichi Kasai, a native of Aomori City, serves as the vocalist and trumpeter for Amefurashi Quartet, a band rooted in swing jazz.
The lyrics and melodies he writes strongly reflect the simplicity and nostalgia of his hometown, Tsugaru.
Formed in 2004, the band made its nationwide debut with the 2007 mini-album “Yume de Aetara” (If I Could See You in a Dream).
Their ties to their home region are evident as well, such as when they provided a theme song for an Aomori Asahi Broadcasting program in 2018.
Their music—woven from his powerful singing and a trumpet tone steeped in melancholy—will resonate not only with jazz fans but with anyone seeking soulful, deeply human songs.
Party’s OverONE OK ROCK
Although ONE OK ROCK is strongly characterized by emo and hardcore influences, some of their works feature distinctly Japanese-style development.
Among these, the one I especially recommend is “Party’s Over.” It’s a fascinating piece that blends genres like metal and hard rock with phrases that evoke enka or kayōkyoku.
There’s vocalization close to screaming, which can be a challenging part, but aside from that, the range isn’t particularly wide, so it’s surprisingly singable.
