[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.

Jupiter feat. Koshi InabaFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama, a singer-songwriter who has long remained at the forefront, returns with a grand ballad released digitally in December 2025.
Written specifically as the theme song for the film Last Man -FIRST LOVE-, in which he also stars, the track features a standout collaboration: Koshi Inaba of B’z contributes lyrics and guest vocals.
The voices of these two leading figures in Japanese music intertwine to deeply move listeners.
It’s a song you’ll want to sink into, expressing a powerful resolve to protect someone dear.
Slay! Mi AmoreJuice=Juice
Here’s the latest number from Juice=Juice, part of Hello! Project, set for release in October 2025.
It’s a dance tune that distills Latin passion into pop, with percussive rhythms that make your body move.
In the lyrics, the word “moru” (to “enhance” or “hype up”) is treated as a positive skill for presenting yourself better, expressing a heartfelt “Look at me more!” to the other person.
However, toward the end of the song, the narrator goes through heartbreak, and it closes on an upbeat note, declaring they’ll even hype up that heartbreak and turn it into a funny story.
With its catchy melody and striking choreography, this track is recommended for anyone who wants to cherish their individuality or charge up with positive energy.
More sparkle!MORE STAR
This is the debut song released by the nine-member group MORE STAR in December 2025.
It’s a fresh, upbeat pop tune that embodies the group’s name and their determination to “grow more and shine brighter.” The song delivers a message that even with your weaknesses and anxieties, you can still take a step forward, carried by a catchy melody that makes you feel encouraged just by listening.
It’s recommended for anyone looking to take on something new or add a little sparkle to their everyday life.
Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi
This song, created by the golden duo of lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto and music by Kyohei Tsutsumi, was a massive hit, ranking 4th for the year in 1976.
It’s basically sung with a cute, charming tone—if you sing it in that classic “burikko” cutesy style, it’ll really get the crowd going! The overall vocal range is G#3 to E5, which is on the higher side, but it’s easier to sing if you use a light, airy head voice.
Keeping an idol-like smile with a slightly bashful expression will help you use your breath more effectively and sing more comfortably.
Take a breath, and when you release your voice, try to imagine it coming out from just in front of your eyebrows.
That should help you capture that adorable vocal vibe!
Qiu & Kagepiinata
A track by Vocaloid producer Pīnata that portrays the loneliness and inner conflicts faced by today’s youth, using abstract motifs like mathematical symbols and logic.
The intertwining of Kasane Teto’s high-tone vocals with tightly punched kick and snare, plus a distorted synth bass, creates a soundscape where euphoria and collapse coexist.
The lyrics sharply capture dependence on one’s idol, the frenzy on social media, and the emptiness that lingers after the hype cools—resulting in a piece that pierces the listener’s heart.
It’s a song I especially recommend to anyone feeling a lingering haze in their everyday life.
“Mogaki” ~Even so~Rinsho
Rinsho is a singer-songwriter who keeps filling the streets of Okinawa with song.
He began full-fledged musical activities in May 2018—writing lyrics and music and performing street shows—and was featured in local newspapers for his acoustic guitar-and-vocal busking in central Naha.
In 2022, he released the album “Time doesn’t stop” and the single “Control” digitally.
He says he sings “about 350 days a year,” reflecting his high live frequency, and his hallmark is a voice that seems to purify listeners’ hearts paired with lyrics that pierce straight to the core.
MonsterHasegawa Mai
Mai Hasegawa is a singer-songwriter based in Aichi Prefecture.
She experienced deep despair in her early teens, and encountering music afterward became a turning point in her life.
The lyrics born from those real experiences distill everyday pain and a tangible sense of reality into straightforward words, carrying a power that resonates directly with listeners’ hearts.
Since 2021, she has steadily released works primarily through digital distribution, including albums such as “My Self,” “capture,” and “Essence,” as well as singles like “Inochi” (Life) and “Fight Song.” She won the “Cash Prize Singer” competition and performed at a live event in December 2024 featuring past winners.
Her songs, infused with a strong desire to lift someone up, are music she especially hopes will reach those going through difficult times right now.
