[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.

MOA FRENEverdreaM
EverdreaM is a rock vocal unit formed by Misato and Hitomi, who are also active as voice actors.
Their song here is an aggressive rock number written and composed by singer-songwriter Hitomi Yaida.
It carries a message that encourages living true to yourself without being confined by “frames,” giving listeners a boost of courage.
Included as the lead track on the album NO FRAME, released in July 2025, it was also selected as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s Seiyu Danko.
The duo’s call-and-response and harmonies are exquisite, and the exhilarating, fast-paced sound makes it a perfect song for getting fired up at live shows.
This standout female duo showcases a different side from their previous anime tracks.
Monkey DanceRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Monkey Dance,” released in 2025 and included on the album “Channel U,” is a track distinguished by its light, buoyant groove.
The bass features mainly slap technique, with a bouncy slap line ringing out from the intro.
The rest of the arrangement also emphasizes crisp articulation, so it’s recommended to listen closely to how this rhythm layers with the vocals.
Savor the sense of fun through the slap bass phrases that highlight the dance element referenced in the title.
Monochrome KissShido
This song was used as the opening theme for the anime Black Butler.
It marks the major-label debut of the visual kei rock band SID and was released in October 2008.
From the very first guitar phrase, its heavy yet melodic sound draws you in, perfectly matching the series’ dark, beautiful atmosphere—so cool, right? The lyrics portray the chill and pain of a monochrome world, and a love that turns into obsession from wanting someone too much.
It’s the kind of track you might want to savor alone during the colder season.
mochi poundingSakushi: Amano Chou / Sakkyoku: Ichinomiya Michiko
This children’s song energetically celebrates mochitsuki, a traditional New Year’s custom.
With lyrics by Chō Amano and music by Michiko Ichimiya, it has long been beloved in early childhood education.
Onomatopoeic words that mimic the sound of the pestle striking the mortar bounce in rhythmic repetition, creating a lively beat that makes the act of pounding rice itself feel like music.
Its bright major-key melody and easy-to-remember lyrics naturally get bodies moving.
Included in a 2004 music collection for preschool use, it has become a staple for New Year’s festivities.
Singing it together face-to-face while clapping or pretending to pound mochi may bring back fond memories of New Year’s past.
Deadly Poison Sundries Meikoya-sanSLAVE V-V-R
Created to commemorate MEIKO’s 21st anniversary, this song comes from the popular Vocaloid producer SLAVE.V-V-R—well-known for their “failed retirement.” It was released in November 2025.
The seductive tones of the accordion brilliantly bring to life an unsettling world: a general store dealing in poisons.
Blending the allegorical feel of dark fantasy with a cabaret-style theatrical flair, the piece weaves these elements together to exquisite effect.
MEIKO’s commanding vocals evoke a shopkeeper who is both eerie and irresistibly alluring.
The pinned comment on YouTube reportedly shares behind-the-scenes stories, so be sure to check it out after listening.
Highly recommended for those seeking a grotesque yet beautiful, venom-laced Vocaloid track!
