[Karaoke] A Collection of Songs Whose Titles Start with 'Mo'

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.

moratoriumOmoinotake
The rich sound of the piano feels like it reaches deep into your chest.
This track is by Omoinotake, a piano trio band from Shimane Prefecture, and is included on a mini-album of the same name as the song, released in 2020.
It serves as the theme song for the animated film “Twittering Birds Never Fly: The Clouds Gather.” It’s a ballad with a dreamy atmosphere that brings a sense of calm when you listen.
However, the lyrics express a poignant longing—wishing the two of us could stay like this forever—which tightens the chest with its sorrow.
It makes you want to cherish the time you have now with the person you love.

With its open and free-spirited image, Hawaii is a dream destination everyone wants to visit at least once.

In those moments, let’s enjoy Hawaii through our imagination.
MORNINGLIGHTPRISM
Prism is the band led by Akira Wada—one of the greatest Japanese guitarists—who sadly passed away on March 28, 2021.
It’s an indispensable band in the history of Japanese fusion and continues to be respected as a significant presence in Japan’s music history.
Around the mid-1970s, a session band that would become the prototype of Prism started with Wada at its center; in 1976, six official members came together, and during recording the band adopted the name Prism and began full-scale activities.
Even before their album debut, they opened for Eric Clapton’s Japan tour, and their music—backed by overwhelming technique and taste—drew early attention.
In 1977, they released their debut album on the major label Polydor Records, and the concert celebrating their debut was reportedly a great success.
Thereafter, amid successive member departures and new additions, they stayed true to their distinctive style—including an approach toward progressive rock—and, with Wada as the core, continued performing into the 2010s and beyond, truly a legendary band that Japan can proudly present to the world.
Movin on UpPrimal Scream
This is a track from Screamadelica, the 1991 landmark album by the Scottish rock band Primal Scream.
It’s a seminal work that fuses rock, soul, and even dance music to reach a new frontier, and it’s a superb song whose structure builds steadily to a thrilling climax backed by beautiful choral vocals.
MOTTAIPmaru-sama.
Pmarusama is a multi-entertainer active on YouTube and TikTok.
She has released multiple albums, with her first full album, “Sunny!!,” coming out in 2021.
Her 2022 track “MOTTAI” carries a message about reassessing your true worth—something you won’t find just by chasing trends.
The lyrics express a longing for genuine love and understanding.
On TikTok and other short-video platforms, many users posted videos featuring a cute choreography for the intro that matches the song’s vibe.
It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to value their individuality while deepening connections with those around them.
delusionistR Sound Design
A dance-rock tune with a four-on-the-floor beat and razor-sharp guitars that feels insanely good.
Created by R Sound Design, who has captured the hearts of Vocaloid fans with refined tracks like “Teikoku Shoujo” and “flos,” it was released in April 2023 and is sung by the voice library Ci flower, which was released the same year.
The high-speed progression of the sound sends your mood soaring—it’s like honed, gleaming tones stream right past your eyes.
The lyric “Let’s just dance without thinking” aligns perfectly with the song’s vibe.
IfRADWIMPS
“What If” sung by RADWIMPS.
The lyrics include a scene where the narrator confesses to the person they have feelings for, and the faint hope that the other person might like them too is captured in the three characters of the title, ‘What If’ (moshimo).
In the latter half of the song, the protagonist—‘I’—expresses a desire to return to the time before confessing, when they were simply in love in a pure, unspoken way.
Considering the sorrow and pain of their relationship being damaged by revealing their feelings, you can acutely sense the lingering thought that perhaps it would have been better if they had remained mutually in love without saying it—or even stayed in unrequited love.
