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 that start with “Bo.” [Boku (I), Boy, Bouken (Adventure), etc.] (11–20)

Someone like meHinatazaka46

It’s a song that depicts self-denial and inner conflict, yet movingly conveys a heartfelt desire to connect with others.

Hinatazaka46 is often associated with a “happy aura,” but this work carefully portrays delicate emotional fluctuations, and that contrast is deeply captivating.

It’s included on their seventh single, “Boku nanka,” released in June 2022, and is also known for having been performed for the first time at their 3rd anniversary concert at Tokyo Dome.

It drew major attention when Nao Kosaka, who had resumed her activities, stood at center, and when Kyoko Saito performed it solo on THE FIRST TAKE.

When you lack confidence or feel a sudden loneliness at night, listening to it will gently be there for your heart.

Please give it a listen.

From my perspectiveOkuda Tamio

[Official Music Video] Tamio Okuda – Bokuteki-chi
From my perspectiveOkuda Tamio

This track was produced during the public recording project “Cantabile IN THE PARK” held at Sony Park in Ginza and released digitally in September 2021.

It’s got that characteristically Okuda Tamio rock groove that feels as if it captures the very atmosphere of the place and the creation process itself.

The lyrics avoid setting a fixed destination, evoking the feeling of a journey that follows the wind, and just listening lets your shoulders relax.

A newly recorded version was later included on the EP “Amarimono,” but the rough, raw charm of this original is irresistible.

Enjoy it with an easygoing mindset, as if you’re simply watching the scenery flow by.

A unique, high-energy piece that casts drowsiness as the final boss.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer munina, known for “negative pop.” Released in February 2026, it’s an entry for VocaColle 2026 Winter.

You’ll relate to this: the song is about mustering sheer willpower to face the formidable foe of sleepiness.

The off-kilter battle strategies are funny, yet the song also embraces life’s stubborn realities—that’s what makes it great.

When you’re about to lose to drowsiness, try blasting this track at full volume!

VOYAGER ~A Gravestone Without a Date~Matsutōya Yumi

Voyager – Gravestone Without Dates / Voyager – Hizuke No Nai Bohyo (2022 Mix)
VOYAGER ~A Gravestone Without a Date~Matsutōya Yumi

It’s a grand-scale ballad where a sci-fi worldview overlaps with a profound requiem-like prayer.

The lyrics, which sing of the sorrow of losing someone precious and a love that reaches across time and space, are deeply moving.

The sound woven by synthesizers and strings imparts a floating sensation, as if drifting through outer space.

Released in February 1984 as Yumi Matsutoya’s 20th single, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Sayonara Jupiter,” for which Sakyo Komatsu served as general director, yet it was notably left off the previous year’s album “VOYAGER.” It’s also known for being used in a Mitsubishi Motors commercial and, more recently, in “Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.” A masterpiece you’ll want to listen to on a quiet night while gazing up at the stars.

The back-and-forth between the members’ rap and vocals over a hip-hop-inspired sound is insanely cool.

It’s a top recommendation for when you’re facing a big challenge or just want to crank up your energy—you’ll feel invincible.

When you want to feel the excitement of meeting new companions and hope for the future, why not give it a listen? It’s sure to warm your heart.
