[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.

Mola mola sunfishSato
Moramora Mambo is one of the popular songs from NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
It livelily sings about a sunfish drifting lazily and gently through the sea, set to a rhythmic mambo beat.
The title’s “Moramora” is the sunfish’s scientific name, and the phrase moramora~ appears repeatedly throughout the song.
MORE & MORESana
TWICE are pioneers of global girl groups, active worldwide with a focus on Japan and South Korea.
Since their breakthrough, they’ve captivated fans with catchy yet distinctive songs and increasingly sophisticated musicality.
Sana, who serves as a sub-vocalist, is from Tennoji.
While TWICE are known for many unique choreographies—such as their mega-hit TT—the first major breakthrough came when Sana’s cute “Shy Shy Shy” pose in her part of CHEER UP became a social phenomenon.
Despite speaking Korean so fluently that even Koreans are impressed, she also has an endearingly natural side.
With her charismatic looks and adorable charm, she’s one of the most popular members in Korea.
Mona Lisa’s SmileZa Taigāsu
This was the third single by the Japanese Group Sounds band The Tigers, released in August 1967 (Showa 42).
At the time of the song’s release, today’s Oricon chart didn’t yet exist, but it reportedly reached No.
1 in the magazine Young Music (published by Shueisha).
Julie (Kenji Sawada)’s beautifully resonant, wistfully moving vocals over the gorgeous, bittersweet melody are truly striking.
Compared with modern songs, music from that era is notably short in length; this track also runs just under three minutes, yet it still presents a clear beginning, development, twist, and conclusion, and vividly conveys the song’s world and imagery.
Another classic from the Showa era! Please enjoy!
Delusional DiaryShido
The four-member visual kei rock band SID is known for vocalist Mao’s sexy, richly resonant voice.
“Mousou Nikki” is included on SID’s full-length indie-era album Renai (written with the characters for “pity” and “sorrow”).
The song portrays the obsessive love of a woman whose feelings for the other person are too intense.
Her clingy behavior, stalking morning and night, is terrifying in its suffocating persistence.
What’s more, the fact that the other person doesn’t even know she exists—making it a completely one-sided case of stalking—adds an extra layer of fear.
MonsterJenīhai feat.yama
Monster, released as the third installment of collaboration singles by the band Jenny High—known for its distinctive members—features a guest vocalist.
Following collaborations with Aina the End and Chanmina, the guest vocalist on this track is yama, whose smash hit Haru wo Tsugeru has made them an artist you hear everywhere.
While the lyrics give off a slightly dark vibe, the band sound layered with brass instruments creates a refreshing feel.
Highly recommended as a cool duet song.

Formed in 1999 and once disbanded, JapaHarinet announced their reunion in 2015.
This song is their debut single.
While the lyrics sing of the hardships and sorrows of life, it’s also an encouraging anthem that gently gives you a push forward.
Tears of MagnoliaSutādasuto☆Rebyū
A love ballad that sings of the profound sense of loss after losing the lover to whom eternal love was vowed.
Using the magnolia—the flower that symbolizes spring—as its motif, it beautifully depicts warm memories with a beloved person and the loneliness felt after their loss.
It was included as the first track on Stardust Revue’s album “SOLA,” released in March 1993, and was later released as a single, selling 150,000 copies.
In 2005, an acoustic version was produced for a Nikka Whisky commercial.
For those who have lost someone precious or who recall bittersweet memories in the spring season, this work will resonate deeply with your heart.
