[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.

Ex-Girlfriend DeclarationAnsako
Thanks to its unique content, “Moto Kano Sengen” (Ex-Girlfriend Declaration) has gone viral on TikTok.
It’s a song by singer-songwriter Ansaco.
The A and B verses depict someone who can’t get over her ex, while the chorus launches into an intense tirade.
That said, it’s not foul-mouthed but rather comes off as comical.
It’s also mid-tempo, making it great for dancing or singing along with friends.
Put it to use in different ways and lift your spirits!
Another BirthdayAnri
Anri, the singer-songwriter known for signature songs like “Listening to Olivia,” delivers “Another Birthday,” an emotive medium-tempo ballad with lyrics by Yukinojo Mori and music by Anri.
The soundscape evokes the gentle shimmer of waves along the shore.
It conveys a poignant image of unspoken love and the weariness of waiting.
Why not make “Another Birthday” your fresh start? It’s a moving track that will resonate with anyone looking to draw a line, or to be reborn on the occasion of their birthday.
Cabbage White Butterfly (feat. Shinya Ishihara (Saucy Dog))Toukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
This work is a collaboration between Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, better known as Skapara, and Shinya Ishihara of Saucy Dog.
The fusion of ska and rock strikes a perfect balance between lighthearted bounce and bittersweet emotion.
The lyrics depict a fragile, beautiful love—like a cabbage white butterfly—that is sure to resonate.
Released as a digital single in November 2022, this track showcases a new challenge for Skapara.
It’s recommended not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone interested in fresh music that transcends genre boundaries.
I want to protect youMatsutōya Yumi
This is Yumi Matsutoya’s 17th single, released in June 1981.
It was written at the request of producer Haruki Kadokawa as the theme song for the Kadokawa film “Nerawareta Gakuen,” which was released the same year.
It’s such a classic of Showa-era New Music that it almost needs no introduction! The vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, so I feel it’s an easy song for anyone to pick for karaoke—not just those who are strong in the lower register.
That said, the A-melody sections in particular are great parts for low-voiced women to showcase the charm of their vocals, so please give it a try.
Yuming’s songs are known for their distinctive vocal delivery, so it could also be fun to lean into an impression-style approach when you sing!

Mai Matsumuro is a musician from Oita Prefecture who was a member of Dream, a female dance and vocal group active from the 2000s to the 2010s.
She wrote lyrics for many of the group’s songs.
With her powerful vocals and dance skills, she had a standout presence.
Also active as a model, she epitomized the term “cool beauty,” and her refreshing looks have surely soothed many fans.
You won’t want to take your eyes off her continued, multifaceted success!
Moretsu AtaroKatsura Kyoko
One of the signature works by Fujio Akatsuka, the god of gag manga.
It’s also a famous anime for featuring the cat-like character “Nyarome.” Many of Akatsuka’s supporting characters enjoy considerable standalone popularity, often getting spin-offs and appearing in other anime, and I love that kind of unbridled, unconventional spirit.
If something like talent exists, then maybe talent is not seeing effort as effort.Sakurai Kazutoshi (Mr.Children)
Kazutoshi Sakurai, the lead vocalist of Mr.
Children, who has remained at the forefront of the J-POP scene since the 1990s.
Many people have surely been encouraged by the lyrics he writes.
This is a remark that reflects his attitude toward hard work.
Preceding these words is a statement along the lines of “I don’t have any talent,” in which he says that although he lacks talent, he simply put in a tremendous amount of effort.
For him, hard work is a given, and it shows that he has put in far more effort than most to get where he is today.
