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! (41–50)

Titus GroanVelle Witch

This track sonically captures the decadent worldview portrayed in British Gothic novels.

Included on the self-produced demo tape “Blood Noblewoman,” released in November 1988, it spans over nine minutes and is suffused with a creeping sense of unease.

Over a rhythm carved by a weighty bass and powerful drums, Yukie Furutani’s vocals—marked by a distinctive vibrato—resound, further enhancing its mysterious allure.

The sound, imbued with a ritualistic solemnity, draws listeners deep into the heart of the story.

TATSUYAAimi Tanaka

Aimi Tanaka is an enka singer known as the beloved disciple of Takashi Hosokawa.

She possesses a remarkably deep voice for someone in her early twenties, and on top of that, her expressive power is extraordinary.

She is undoubtedly expected to play a leading role in the future enka scene, yet she has also released many songs that are easy to sing.

Among them, the one you can especially expect to get the crowd going is “TATSUYA.” While the lyrics are sad, depicting a widow, the melody is powerful and still brings out a feminine quality, so you can expect it to be quite exciting.

It leans more toward kayōkyoku in style, and the absence of difficult pitch movements—such as the dramatic ups and downs often associated with kobushi—makes it notably easy to sing.

BirthMiyuki Nakajima

This is a song by Miyuki Nakajima that gently encourages those who have decided to restart their lives and step into a future with a new partner.

Even if you have the strength to live on your own, it carries a warm message that life becomes richer when you walk together with someone.

The song was released in March 1992 as the theme for the film “Kiseki no Yama: Sayonara, Meiken Heiji,” and is also included on the album “EAST ASIA.” Its sweeping melody tenderly seeps into hearts hesitant to take a step forward due to past experiences, as if blessing a new love.

Doesn’t it feel like a future where you can affirm each other’s very existence is unfolding right before your eyes?

Sun’s Komachi AngelB’z

B’z, the duo that has delivered numerous masterpieces.

While B’z is strongly associated with cool, rock-flavored tracks, they also have some slightly pop-leaning songs.

Among those, one of the most popular is surely “Taiyō no Komachi Angel.” The vocal range is mid2A to hiA—high, but relatively narrow overall.

If you adjust the key properly, you shouldn’t have trouble with vocal production.

It’s also a song everyone can sing together, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Released in July 2025, the piece features the UTAU voicebank Yakuon Hebo for the vocals.

Its comical yet wistful tone matches the song’s worldview perfectly.

The lyrics poignantly depict the frustration of a heart pushed to its limits whose SOS never reaches anyone—they really hit home.

It’s the kind of song you can’t help but project yourself onto.

It might just be the track that speaks for your feelings.

A track where a massive orchestra and a steel-like high-tone voice fuse magnificently.

Originally included on the 2009 album “Dragon Ball Kai SONG COLLECTION,” it was used as an insert song during Frieza’s introduction scene in the anime Dragon Ball Kai.

Throughout the piece, it evokes the absolute terror brought by the Emperor of the Universe, as well as the unfathomable loneliness of one who stands at the top.

The lyrics paint a breathtaking world where all love and life are frozen, and only a cold elegy resounds.

Its solemn yet dark resonance perfectly captures the character’s ruthless, tyrannical charisma.
