[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.

[Karaoke] Compilation of Songs with Titles Starting with “Mo” (411–420)
homesicknessMori Shinichi
When you think of Shinichi Mori, he is a representative enka singer of the Showa era.
His husky, slightly high-pitched voice was wonderful.
“Bokyo” was released in 1970.
Those in their 60s will likely find it very nostalgic.
The song was a big hit and was made into a film.
It’s a magnificent classic that brings the Showa period back to life.
Please give it a listen.
It’s great for karaoke too—sing your heart out and relive the old days.
Entertainment District BluesMori Shinichi
This is a blues number by Shinichi Mori whose low, subdued, and dandy musical style evokes a mature allure.
It’s also a very popular karaoke song, widely beloved by middle-aged and older listeners, and it’s a classic that comes highly recommended.
MOSAICshiina mota
This is a Vocaloid track where the coolness of the bassline really stands out.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Shiina Mota, also known as Powapowa-P, released in 2013.
A rock tune with a strikingly stylish sound, it feels packed to the brim with Shiina’s musical sensibilities.
The interlude, which uses rests effectively, is cool as well.
The melody’s range is relatively narrow, so it should be easy to sing, especially for women.
Singing with a delicate, ephemeral touch might help convey the song’s mood.
peachMakihara Noriyuki
Peach was released as Noriyuki Makihara’s 23rd single.
It’s included on the album Home Sweet Home, which ranked No.
8 on the Oricon chart, and was also featured on the 2013 best-of album Haru Uta, Natsu Uta ~ Donna Toki mo.
The “peach” that appears in the lyrics as a symbol of weakness, ego, and someone precious to you also feels like a reminder to oneself.
Makihara has said he composed the song simply because peach is his favorite fruit.
The chorus repeats a catchy melody that’s easy to remember, making it a great pick for karaoke.
I won’t fall in love anymore.Makihara Noriyuki
This is a recovery song born from the heartbreak of the person who was serving as support keyboardist for Noriyuki Makihara at the time.
It sings about a man’s heart that feels as if a hole has been punched through it.
As you listen, I think the ordinary, everyday moments with a lover start to feel precious.
It makes you realize that those moments were happiness.
Mon Amour, Mon Ami ~My Beloved~Mizumori Kaori & Harada Ryuuji
A song that portrays a mature romance, with Kaori Mizumori and Ryuji Harada’s vocals resonating deeply.
The story begins with a rainy scene, evoking memories of their first meeting and expressing the precious time shared by the two.
With a Latin-tinged rhythm, this adult kayōkyoku conveys both the joy and the poignancy of love.
Released on October 23, 2024, the song was born from their co-starring in the stage production Mito Kōmon.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to on a quiet night with someone special.
Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy time with a loved one, a glass of wine in hand.
The Finest BoatmanHikawa Kiyoshi
Kiyoshi Hikawa’s classic “Mogami no Sendou,” released in 2019.
The song has a traditional enka feel, characterized by a relaxed tempo and a warm melody.
While the slow tempo means there are many long sustained notes—which can be challenging—it’s also easier to create pauses before adding vibrato-like kobushi, so the overall difficulty is relatively low.
If the kobushi at the end of the chorus feels difficult, it’s recommended to practice each kobushi section individually and then connect them together when singing the full phrase.
