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.

It’s a hit song released in 2000.

It’s a very candid love song, and it really showcased aiko’s charm.

Her songs sound catchy, but they’re surprisingly difficult for amateurs to sing.

I hope she continues to follow the classic path of love songs.

What I can do nowback number

Back number’s classic “Boku ga Ima Dekiru Koto o,” with its strikingly acoustic first half.

It’s a gem where back number’s delicate lyrics and melody shine, and it’s especially popular among fans.

The song unfolds at a very slow tempo throughout.

While it features quite a few sustained notes, there aren’t any abrupt pitch jumps, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

Songs centered on long tones are better with vibrato, but since the original also doesn’t use vibrato, you don’t need to worry too much about that.
