[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 feat. ChomaiyoFurukawa Hompo
A farewell song that evokes a refreshing autumn landscape.
The music is by Honpo Furukawa, with vocals by Chomaiyo.
The gentle, enveloping sound and vocals are soothing.
It has a very fantasy-like atmosphere, so how about listening to it when you want to make a dramatic change of mood?
affectation; pretentiousness; acting coy/deliberately withholding (to create suspense)wanuka
This song captures the bittersweetness of youth, where you get elated or discouraged by your crush’s reactions yet still savor the push-and-pull of the chase.
Its uptempo shuffle beat and distinctive guitar sound leave a strong impression, conveying both freshness and energy.
Released by Wanuka in November 2022, it’s included on the album “Shinbigan” (Aesthetic Eye).
The lyrics, filled with the impatience and anticipation of waiting for someone’s answer, will resonate with anyone who wants to confess their feelings but can’t quite find the courage—and gently give you a nudge forward.
Why not listen to this track and take the leap to share how you feel?

maple leavesshouka
“Momiji” is a traditional Japanese children’s song that depicts the autumn foliage on mountains illuminated by the evening sun, celebrating the beauty of the fall season.
Created by Tatsuyuki Takano and Teiichi Okano, it has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Songs.
Known for its simple and beautiful melody, it is one of the songs themed around Japan’s four seasons, particularly praising the beauty of autumn nature.
It is widely used in school music classes and is often sung as a two-part chorus.
It’s a perfect song to sing with seniors—why not sing it at a relaxed pace while picturing the autumn scenery?
Mononoke in the Fictionuso to kamereon
The band Uso to Chameleon has released numerous energetic, highly addictive guitar rock numbers.
Their songs carry a hint of darkness yet are incredibly catchy—the kind of sound you can’t escape once you’ve heard it.
They rose to wider recognition with the 2016 music video for “Saredo Kijutsushi wa Sai wo Furu.” The video “Mononoke in the Fiction” is an original song written for the anime In/Spectre and serves as its opening theme.
Mosquito Tone Bluesyonseikyu
Yonseikyu, the comic band that the Japanese rock scene is proud of.
Pretty much any song they perform is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! Their track “Mosquito Tone Blues” is themed around the mosquito tone that supposedly only young people can hear, and it even sneaks in a gimmick that lets you check your ear age during the song! But the truth is, the lyrics are actually really great.
I can’t leave you anymore.Kunitake Mari
This is the debut song of Mari Kunitake, whose gentle, whispery tone captivates with its smooth, heartfelt delivery.
“My Pager Doesn’t Ring Anymore,” which was later tied in with a TV drama, is also a wonderful track, but this one really conveys her delicate charm as well.
So good!
Mochi-Mochi OndoBōya Saburō
A unique song that plays on the phrase “mochitsumotaretsu” (mutual give-and-take) and how it connects with mochi and human relationships.
It’s sung by Saburō Bōya, who was active as an actor and comedian, and was released as a single in 1976.
The snappy lyrics featuring onomatopoeia are delightful.
As you listen, your body starts swaying on its own.
Mochitsuki (rice-cake pounding) strongly evokes New Year’s, but since, as the title suggests, it has an ondō (festival chant) style, this particular song might actually fit better as background music for a summer festival.
