[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.

This is a dance track packed with lingering feelings and frustrations toward an ex.

Performed by the popular idol group AKB48, it was released in 2022 as their 59th single.

One of its charms is the bass-heavy sound arrangement that makes you feel like you’re in a club—you’ll want to turn up the volume.

Even in the chorus, the melody stays within nearly the same range as before, making it especially easy for women to sing.

“Witness” is a song performed by members of AKB48 Team A, included in the setlist for their 6th stage, “Witness,” which ran from 2010 to 2012.

Many people likely associate idol songs with themes like exciting romance or bittersweet heartbreak.

However, this song carries a powerful message about peace: “We must not overlook the wars and conflicts that continue somewhere in the world even today; as witnesses to history, each of us must pass on these stories and consider what we can do to bring them to an end.”

Return pathANNA

This song by ANNA, a singer from Toshiki Kadomatsu’s singer-produce project VOCALAND, was released on March 21, 1997.

Speaking of 1997, it was right in the golden age of 90s J-POP.

Perhaps because the industry placed special emphasis on the karaoke market, it was also a time when many singers—whose vocal abilities were, frankly, not very strong—were debuting one after another and scoring hits.

As an antithesis to that era, Kadomatsu launched VOCALAND, a production project that gathered truly skilled vocalists.

Among them, ANNA was a singer whose vocal prowess Kadomatsu in particular held in very high regard.

The song “Modorimichi” is a slow ballad performed by ANNA.

From the gently sung intro to the powerful high notes that close the track, it’s a song where you can enjoy a richly expressive vocal performance.

Precisely because it’s such a technically demanding piece, I think it’s guaranteed to turn heads if you can pull it off at karaoke! By all means, give it a try.
