Songs with titles that start with “bo.” [Boku (I), boy, adventure, etc.]

There are times when you want to find “songs that start with a certain hiragana,” like for “shiritori karaoke,” where you link songs together like the word game shiritori, “song-title shiritori,” where you restrict yourself to track titles, or even when making a playlist themed around the 50 Japanese syllables.

In this article, we’ll focus on songs that start with “bo” (ぼ) and introduce some selections!

You probably don’t usually search for music by the first hiragana of the title, but that’s exactly why it can lead you to songs you wouldn’t normally come across.

Be sure to check out this article and see if you can discover a new favorite track.

Songs with titles starting with “Bo”. [Boku (I), Boy, Bouken (Adventure), etc.] (181–190)

I am the strongest.NEE

NEE, whose 2022 winter release “Boki wa Saikyo” is blowing up right now.

They’ve changed their name three times—Orange Paprika → nee → NEE—to get where they are today.

True to their self-described “exotic rock band” label, their musical range is broad, and their elusive—in a good way—sound keeps you hitting repeat.

Many of you may already know this, but the vocalist, Kuu, is the Vocaloid producer Kurama Murakami, and NEE’s songs incorporate plenty of Vocaloid-like melodies.

Combined with rock, it really is the best of both worlds! They’re my No.

1 band I want more people to hear.

If you need a pick-me-up, definitely give them a listen!

BOYS BE SUSPICIOUSNIGHTMARE

Nightmare – BOYS BE SUSPICIOUS [Live Version]
BOYS BE SUSPICIOUSNIGHTMARE

It’s a rock number that coolly portrays a boy who feels out of place just going along with those around him and decides to set out on his own.

The distorted guitar tones and powerful vocals feel like a push on the back, making it a song that fills you with courage as you listen.

If the you I hate were to die, would I laugh?NIGHTMARE

NIGHTMARE Boku no Kirai na Kimi ga Shindara, Boku wa Warau no Darou ka? (Sub Español)
If the you I hate were to die, would I laugh?NIGHTMARE

It’s a song about the acute struggle of how to face someone you dislike, and it really makes you stop and think.

The irregular meter in the first verse effectively captures a complex, unstable state of mind, while the heavy, aggressive sound underscores the weight of the lyrics.

A four-piece instrumental band featuring a rich array of instruments, including kokyu, mandolin, and wind instruments.

This track brings in a guest steelpan player to craft a fresh funk sound.

The silky, gentle tone of the kokyu, joined by the charming steelpan, and topped with stylish guitar cutting, meld into a blend of elegance and groove—like savoring almond tofu.

In ONE OK ROCK’s albums, the final track often contains many hidden segments.

After a few minutes of silence, each member sings, shouts, or talks about things they like.

The contrast with their usual pursuit of pure rock is striking, making it an irresistible track for fans.
