[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.

If only I had held you tighterWANDS
It’s a love song with a gentle atmosphere that seems to wrap up tender crushes and heart-fluttering feelings.
Released by WANDS in July 1992, this piece beautifully matches the soaring vocals of first-generation vocalist Sho Uesugi with a catchy melody line, achieving long-term sales success.
It became a massive hit, selling 1.663 million copies.
It was also used as a commercial song for Mitsui Life featuring Atsuko Asano, which greatly boosted its recognition.
Beginning with a scene of two people walking together at dusk as a slightly chilly wind blows, it carefully depicts the feelings of the protagonist, who harbors emotions bubbling up inside.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those who can relate to the poignant feeling of being in love yet unable to honestly put it into words.
monotoneYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s masterpiece “Monotone.” When it comes to YOASOBI, they’re known for lots of high-range parts, with vocal lines that repeatedly switch between chest voice and falsetto—very distinctive, right? This piece, however, differs from that impression; in a word, it feels like a song with an extremely wide vocal range.
The low notes in particular are astonishingly low—most women with an average voice type simply can’t produce them.
The chorus does bring in solid high parts as well, making it a high-difficulty song that really depends on the singer’s vocal quality.

Monochrome (without you)Yasuha.
This is an R&B track featuring a poignant piano tone.
Created by Vocaloid producer Yasuha., known for songs like “Sukinano ni” and “Kimi o Ushinatte,” it was released in 2018.
The understated melody, spacious sound arrangement, and fragile vocals blend perfectly, drawing you into its world before you know it.
The lyrics portray lingering feelings for a former lover—something anyone who’s experienced heartbreak can relate to.
Give it a listen when you feel like having a good cry.
Just a little more… a bit more…ZARD
The 9th single “Just a Little More…” was used as the ending theme for the TV drama Lullaby Detective ’93.
Its lyrics, which depict a forbidden romance, brim with a heartrending poignancy, heightened by the lyrical melody and ensemble.
The song is easy to sing thanks to its narrow vocal range and relaxed tempo, but you need to be careful not to miss the pitch, as the chorus starts abruptly on a high note.
If you sing it calmly, it’s a number that feels great to perform even at karaoke, so why not give it a try?
I won’t look anymore.ZARD
“Mou Sagasanai” is ZARD’s third single and also the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Shichinin no Onna Bengoshi” (Seven Female Lawyers).
