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!

Kinoko Teikoku – Boredom Killer (Studio version)
Boredom-Killer Kinoko Teikoku

It’s a song that begins with a sentimental guitar tone and then draws you into a distinctive worldview.

Created by Kinoko Teikoku, it’s included on their mini-album “Uzu ni Naru,” released in May 2012.

An over-eight-minute epic depicting the tedium of everyday life and inner turmoil.

It features Kinoko Teikoku’s signature emotional sound influenced by shoegaze and post-rock.

It’s packed with subtle feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and a kind of resignation felt within a monotonous routine.

A track you’ll want to sing slowly and thoroughly at solo karaoke or with a small group of close friends.

It was surely spring.I can't say I'm sorry

Gomen Nasai ga Ienakute’s song “It Was Surely Spring” is filled with the emotions of spring.

Released in March 2023, this track is a gem where freshness and wistfulness coexist.

It delicately depicts scenes of cherry blossoms dancing in the air and reflections on memories fading away.

The brisk tempo seems to express emotions swirling in one’s heart.

Add this cool spring song to your playlist.

Great Catch FestivalMaya Sakura

Among festival songs, the one that celebrates a bountiful fish catch is Maya Sakura’s “Tairyō Matsuri” (“Bountiful Catch Festival”).

It was Sakura’s debut single when she made her debut in 2008 as the youngest enka singer in history.

Her mature, vibrato-rich voice astonished many! This song conveys not only the joy of a big catch, but also gratitude and appreciation for the fishermen who bravely head out to sea.

Of course, it’s not just for fishermen—it’s the perfect festival tune to applaud the efforts of anyone working hard.

It’s okay to stay in the dead of night forever, never having to be right.

ZUTOMAYO (Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.

), a band fronted by ACAne, whose sharp, crisp high range is so captivating, is popular with people of all genders as one of the artists who broke out thanks to hits on the internet.

So, if you’re a woman looking for cool songs to sing, her tracks are highly recommended! That said, her signature song “Byoushin wo Kamu” is extremely difficult, so many people find it impossible to sing.

In that case, this song is a bit easier than that one.

The range is still a little high, but lowering the key slightly should make it easier to sing.

If you practice a few times in advance while adjusting the key and find the key that suits you, you’ll be able to handle it smoothly when the moment comes.

You might even captivate the guys with how cool you look nailing the song!
