Introducing popular J-pop songs that start with “Ta”!

Have you heard of shiritori karaoke, where you connect songs by using the last letter of the previous song’s title? Surprisingly, it can get pretty exciting—sometimes you can’t think of any songs, or there aren’t as many singable ones as you expect.

So this time, I’ll introduce a bunch of Japanese songs that start with “ta.” I’ve picked popular J-POP tracks so you can use them both for karaoke and for playing shiritori using only song titles.

Please use this as a reference, and if there’s a song you’d like to try singing, go for it!

Introducing songs that start with 'Ta' from popular J-POP! (261–270)

Time BombUP-BEAT

Released in September 1987 on the album “inner ocean,” this track drew particular attention as one of its most striking songs.

It’s an energetic rock number whose lyrics channel a spirit of defiance against the times and a strong will for self-expression.

With distinctive turns of phrase, it conveys the importance of holding on to dreams and ambition.

Showcasing UP-BEAT’s musicality that brought a fresh breeze to Japan’s rock scene of the era, it’s a perfect recommendation for those who want to stand by their convictions or make a bold statement to the world.

Touch offUVERworld

Touch offUVERworld

UVERworld, whose name means “to go beyond our own world,” continues to evolve just as their name suggests.

Their 34th single, “Touch off,” chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Promised Neverland, features UVERworld’s signature complex song structure and passionate saxophone tones that really elevate the energy.

The heavy, forward-driving beat and memorable choral work not only align with the anime’s worldview but also conjure up the excitement of a live performance.

It’s a loud, expansive rock tune that makes you want to raise your fist and sing along.

TerrorismUZUMAKI

UZUMAKI is a band I’d recommend not only to fans of heavy metal but also to those who like hip-hop.

They’re pioneers of rap metal, delivering solid, hard-hitting rap over the raw power of heavy metal.

You can also sense death metal elements, such as the inclusion of shouts.

In any case, their sound is incredibly intense, so I suggest starting by listening to their tracks.

If you go through their albums in order, you’ll also get a feel for the band’s history.

treasureWANIMA

Takaromono is a mid-tempo, laid-back track that offers a different flavor from WANIMA’s usual powerful sound.

With piano, strings, and other tones woven into the arrangement, it builds an emotional progression.

There’s even a sing-along section toward the end that will lift your spirits! It’s one of WANIMA’s hidden gems.

Wake Up, Girls! “Tachiagare!” (WonFes 2014 Winter)
Stand up! Wake Up, Girls!

It was selected as the opening theme for Season 1 of the anime Wake Up, Girls! produced by avex.

Life is a stage where each person is the star.

This song is a cheer for you as you graduate and step onto a new stage! Even if you feel discouraged, it gives you the encouragement to stand up again and again and keep doing your best.

Let me introduce “Time Lag! feat.

Moto (Chilli Beans.

),” a track with an addictive ’80s-style sound.

This piece was created by WurtS together with Moto, and after its first unveiling at an event, word of mouth spread quickly.

WurtS crafted the song with an ’80s theme, giving it a city-pop vibe.

The lyrics celebrate the fun and excitement of romance between a man and a woman, making it a perfect choice to hype up a karaoke session.

Eaten loveaiko

I ate love, Aiko.

This is aiko’s 41st single overall, released on September 29, 2021.

When you listen to aiko herself sing, she never tries to show off vocal prowess, but she skillfully weaves in mixed voice and falsetto, so trying to do a complete copy might be a bit challenging.

That said, the melody itself is easy to hum along to, so if the high-tone parts feel tough, adjust the karaoke key to suit your range and it should become very singable.

If you avoid straining and keep your delivery light overall, it will likely sound even better!
