[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.

witnessAKB48
“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.
Don’t push yourself anymore.Asa
ASA’s song has been drawing attention as a track that supports moms and dads raising children.
With lyrics that sink into the heart and a delicate melody, it resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in April 2023, the song topped iTunes Store’s J-Pop Top Songs chart in several Asian countries, including Taiwan and Hong Kong.
ASA’s music captivates many fans with its deeply relatable phrases and unique worldview.
It’s a song to listen to when you’re worn out from the day-to-day of parenting or when you feel like blaming yourself.
It will surely stay close to your heart and gently encourage you.
We’re already broken up, you and I.AYANE
It’s a bittersweet love song that brings back memories of past relationships.
Released in January 2025, it’s included on the EP album “my luv.” AYANE’s clear, airy vocals are striking, and before you know it, you find yourself overlaying your own life onto the world of the lyrics.
The smooth, mellow R&B sound really seeps in, too.
It’s perfect for listening alone on nights when you can’t help but think of an ex.
By the time it ends, you might be able to look forward a little.
forget-me-notAwesome City Club
As a song that evokes the arrival of spring, I recommend a track by Awesome City Club.
While cherishing the fragile yet beautiful memories of love, it’s a piece that gives you the courage to move forward.
It was released digitally in January 2021 and was included on the album “Grower” in February of the same year.
It’s also known as an inspiration song for the film “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet,” and has resonated with many listeners.
The lyrics, which conjure up the encounters and farewells of spring as well as new beginnings, are particularly striking.
Why not use it as BGM when posting spring scenes or moments from a new chapter of life on Instagram Reels?
How’s business?B’z
I can’t believe B’z released a song in Osaka dialect…
Since Koshi Inaba is from Okayama Prefecture, is he relatively familiar with the Osaka dialect? It’s included on the album “The 7th Blues,” released in 1994.
The comical lyrics are really amusing.
More lightBLUE ENCOUNT
BLUE ENCOUNT, a four-piece rock band affectionately known as “Buru-en.” Their song “Motto Hikari wo” (More Light) was released in 2015 as their first single.
It also served as the theme song for Yoru Sumino’s novel “Aokute Itakute Moroi” (Blue, Painful, and Brittle).
If being down is “darkness,” then you need “light” to get out of it, right? This is a message song wishing to deliver light to those sinking in the dark, and encouraging them to look straight ahead and follow the path they believe in.
It’s a perfect song to give to a friend who’s feeling down.
