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.] (441–450)

BohemianKatsuragi Yuki

This was Yuki Katsuragi’s seventh single, released in May 1983.

It’s crafted as a rock song that brings out the full appeal of Yuki Katsuragi, whose husky singing voice is so compelling.

That powerful voice could easily hold its own against male vocalists! It would also be an excellent karaoke choice for women with lower voices.

However, no matter how attractive Yuki Katsuragi’s husky tone may be, please do not try to sing in a way that deliberately damages your own voice.

Speaking as a vocal coach, I want to strongly emphasize and caution you on that point.

I Want to Stop Thinking – Usushio Shisū feat. Kasane Teto SV / Boku wa Kangaeru no o Yametai

It’s an alternative track imbued with a languid, ennui-tinged mood.

The song by Usushio Shisū was released in September 2024.

It directly expresses the universal struggle of wanting to stop thinking.

As for the performance, it should be especially approachable for beginner guitarists.

You can play it entirely with power chords and octave voicings, and the guitar solo uses relaxed fingerings.

Give it a try!

Hiroko Yakushimaru My Treasure (October 2013)

“My Treasure,” released to the world as a movie’s theme song.

Yakushimaru Hiroko’s vocals—unchanged since her youth, airy and crystal-clear—gently soothe a tired heart; it’s that kind of song.

Among her works, I’d also recommend this track and “Riding on the Wind” for weary nights.

A Cynical Halloween in a Certain Country depicts a sardonic perspective on modern Halloween, which has gained popularity especially among young people.

Created in 2023 by the enigmatic Vocaloid producer Nazo-J, known for delivering story-driven songs, the piece reflects on what Halloween originated as and what it used to be, while delivering ironic words aimed at contemporary society.

With a sound that is both glamorous and dark, along with Kagamine Len’s vocals, the song vividly evokes the Halloween mood.

Pay special attention to the catchy chorus, whose repeated phrases are sure to stick in your head.
