Songs with titles that start with “te.” Perfect for shiritori karaoke or song-title shiritori!
Can you think of any words that start with “te”? There are lots, whether in Japanese or English—like “tegami” (letter), “tentai” (celestial bodies), “teen,” and “take,” to name a few.
In this article, I’ll introduce a selection of songs that start with such words—tracks with titles beginning with “te.” Feel free to use this as a hint for karaoke shiritori where you connect the last character of a song title to the next, or for shiritori played with song titles only.

Terra BoySCANDAL
SCANDAL is a girls’ rock band that has been active for many years.
They’ve produced numerous great songs, but one I especially want to recommend is “Terra Boy.” Considering all parts, you can’t quite call the range narrow because a falsetto appears in the B-melody, but aside from that, the song stays within a limited range.
The falsetto itself is on the lower side, so even women who can’t sing very high should be able to manage it comfortably.
It’s also nice that there’s a rap section where you can give your voice a bit of a rest.
temple (tera/テラ/寺)THE Namuzu
THE Namuz was formed in 2018 as a one-of-a-kind comic band that deftly fuses Buddhism and rock.
Led by frontman Bon Higaneda, an active monk whose family runs a temple, the lineup features funeral home staffer Satori Nehanzaki, the mysterious Kyomugen Soushi, and kimono-clad drummer Ogami Oga.
Their 2020 mini-album “Orin-pic” showcased unique tracks that skillfully incorporate the sounds of wooden fish drums (mokugyo) and temple bells (orin).
Their 2022 album “Nam-Story at the Altar” features songs with a superb balance of humor and musicianship.
After appearing on the popular TV show “Tamori Club,” the band drew increased attention, including coverage from overseas media, expanding their reach.
Highly recommended for music fans seeking a fresh kind of entertainment where Buddhist aesthetics intertwine with rock sound.
Temple Zukkyun! Ryoho-ji of Love!Toromi / Ayu
Born in November 2010 as an unprecedented temple PR song that fuses Buddhism and anime music, this track is an ambitious work born from the efforts of Ryōhō-ji, a Nichiren Buddhist temple in Hachioji City, which utilized moe-style characters.
Carried by the cute vocals of Toromi and Ayu, phrases from sutras and Buddhist terminology are woven in with exquisite balance, resulting in a fresh, smile-inducing piece you can’t help but enjoy each time you listen.
The song was also featured as an insert track in the anime Samurai Flamenco, drawing attention among anime fans.
Its unique worldview, which pop-ifies Buddhist elements such as ascetic training and enlightenment, has refreshed the image of temples.
Having also been distributed at subculture events like Comic Market, it’s a gem we especially recommend to fans of anime and games.
Heaven and HellJacques Offenbach
This is a commercial introducing Mercari Hallo, a service where you can find part-time gigs to fill spare moments, like after work.
It shows Kazuya Ninomiya moving from his usual job to a short-term gig, and the quick transition conveys how easy the service is to use.
The music especially emphasizes the speed of the visuals—an arrangement of the classic “Orpheus in the Underworld” (known for frantic scenes), which is a staple as background music for busy moments.
The light, brisk tempo helps you clearly picture the idea of making efficient use of your time.
Songs with titles starting with “Te”. Perfect for Shiritori karaoke or song-title Shiritori! (61–70)
Take it Happy!ORCALAND
ORCALAND is a rock band known for its positive musicality.
Their melodies and lyrics, which give listeners a push forward, have earned them a solid reputation, and they’re steadily gaining attention in the Japanese rock scene.
Among ORCALAND’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is Take it Happy! The vocal range is about average, and since there aren’t any sudden pitch jumps or long, belted notes, it’s perfect for aiming for a top score.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
deskissthe molars’
The band “the Molars,” beloved by hardcore music nerds for their straightforward rock, centers on classic Japanese punk.
They’re marked by unadorned lyrics and direct, no-frills vocals—stylistically, you might call them the Reiwa-era Blue Hearts.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is Desu-Kiss.
While the chorus features some falsetto, the overall range sits in the low-to-mid register, so most men with an average vocal range should be able to sing it in the original key without any trouble.
How Angels and Demons LoveWind Wheel
A heart-stirring duo song where diverse musical styles blend together.
“How Angels and Demons Love” was released in April 2025 as Fuurin’s third single.
Crafted by the accomplished songwriting team of Masato Sugimoto and Mami Takubo, it’s a sweet yet bittersweet love song.
With a romantically atmospheric arrangement that highlights the duo’s clear, expansive vocals, the track shines.
It’s a perfect pick for anyone seeking a love-boosting kayōkyoku-style tune.
