[Karaoke] A Collection of Songs Whose Titles Start with 'Mo'
At karaoke, people sometimes set various rules, like singing songs by the same artist or choosing based on song titles.
One fun idea is to pick a letter from the Japanese syllabary and sing “songs that start with ___.”
In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of songs that start with “mo,” so feel free to use this as a reference for your next karaoke session.
Many of these tracks feature sentimental words like “moshi” (if) and “mou” (already/no longer), so it can be nice to think about the lyrics’ meaning or imagine the story as you sing.
Be sure to check out these “mo”-starting songs by artists who’ve been active from the Showa era through Heisei and into Reiwa.

Tears of MagnoliaSutādasuto☆Rebyū
A love ballad that sings of the profound sense of loss after losing the lover to whom eternal love was vowed.
Using the magnolia—the flower that symbolizes spring—as its motif, it beautifully depicts warm memories with a beloved person and the loneliness felt after their loss.
It was included as the first track on Stardust Revue’s album “SOLA,” released in March 1993, and was later released as a single, selling 150,000 copies.
In 2005, an acoustic version was produced for a Nikka Whisky commercial.
For those who have lost someone precious or who recall bittersweet memories in the spring season, this work will resonate deeply with your heart.
MaybeKobayashi Sachiko
Even if you didn’t know it was sung by Sachiko Kobayashi, you’ve almost certainly heard this melody somewhere! “Moshikashite,” released in 1984 as Kobayashi’s single, also came out the same year as “Moshikashite PART II,” a duet version with the composer Katsuhiko Miki, and it was performed on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen—truly a classic of the ’80s.
Rather than enka, it leans more toward the kayōkyoku style, and since Kobayashi sings it with almost no enka-style techniques, it should be relatively approachable even for those who aren’t fond of enka.
That said, the song spans a wide vocal range overall, so try to be mindful of a delivery that brings out the sultriness of the lower notes.
In particular, the chorus melody is easy to go off-pitch on, so be careful!
Could it be… you?Kouzai Kaori
Kaori Kozai’s masterpiece “Moshiyā… Anta ga,” released in partnership with composers like Keisuke Hama and Toyohisa Araki, is a song that hints at enka flavor—such as through its guitar arpeggios—yet remains fundamentally a pop work.
The kobushi (melodic embellishment) appears only once, on a long tone transitioning from the B section to the chorus.
However, because it strongly emphasizes the “crying song” aspect of pop, solid emotional expression is essential.
The basic vocal line itself is on the easier side, so if you’d like to deliver an emotionally charged vocal performance with a little help from some drinks, this is definitely worth checking out.
Momentkei
The relaxed guitar arpeggios leave a strong impression.
This song by KEI, a Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Hayashi Kei, was released in 2008.
It sings about the “now” spent with someone precious and is incredibly pleasant to listen to.
The emotional feel of the chorus is also fantastic.
A love song that’s no longer thereOrejinaru P
This is a track by Original-P, who not only creates his own songs but is also skilled at arranging other Vocaloid tracks.
It’s a stylish heartbreak song featuring GUMI on vocals, and the lyrics are poignant as they lay bare the pain while listening to the footsteps of a lover who’s leaving.
Morning Glory(K)NoW_NAME
This is a song by (K)NoW_NAME, a creative unit known for anime music.
It was released in 2017 as their third single.
The lyrics convey the importance of moving forward, even if slowly.
It serves as the opening theme for the anime Sakura Quest.
