[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.

Magic HandsHitoshizuku P × Yama △

A moving song by the Vocaloid producer duo Hitoshizuku × Yama△, told from the perspective of a character in a painting the creator drew.

Its lyrics, which convey a straightforward feeling toward the being that breathed life into them, and the wistful melodies of piano and strings make for a deeply affecting number.

The band sound that joins partway through gives the track contrast and drive; the weeping guitar phrases, the bass that creates a powerful swell, and the dynamic drumming all come together to form an excellent fusion of beautiful melody and rock sound.

It’s a song that reaffirms Kagamine Len’s expressive power—so much so that you might forget it’s a Vocaloid track.
