Songs that start with “Se.” Use them for shiritori or as karaoke picks! (41–50)

world peaceSEKAI NO OWARI

This is a scathing message song that SEKAI NO OWARI released during their indie days.

It sharply portrays, with a fantastical yet dark worldview, the selfishness and hypocrisy of humanity that lurk behind the beautiful word “peace.” While wishing for peace, we repeat conflicts and sacrifice other lives for a version of “peace” that suits our own convenience.

The contradiction of humanity depicted here is suffocating.

Included on their landmark album EARTH, released in April 2010, this track is packed with the band’s early impulses.

It may leave you with a profound sense of being shaken to the core, questioning whether the “justice” and “peace” we believe in are truly right.

Songs that start with “Se.” Use them as ideas for shiritori or karaoke selections! (51–60)

Seimei (Voice-Life)tuki.

tuki. 'Voice of Life' Official Audio (Insert song from TBS Sunday Theater drama 'Caster')
Voice-Life (Seimeitsuki).

Released on May 26, 2025, tuki.

’s “Seimei” is a very short song—under three minutes—structured as Verse A → Verse B → Chorus → Bridge → Last Chorus.

The melody is easy to remember and doesn’t require belting, so it’s comfortable to sing gently in head voice.

The tempo is very relaxed, so breathing shouldn’t be an issue either.

To summarize the key points: the A section sits a bit low, so avoid squeezing your throat—raise your eyebrows firmly, and imagine releasing the sound slowly right in front of you as you sing.

In fact, rather than only practicing high notes, low notes are surprisingly important! Once your low range is stable, it will directly support your high notes, greatly improving your overall vocal balance.

Also, unfamiliar pitches use more air than you think, so make sure to take in plenty of breath through your mouth!
