[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.

Monochrome VenusIkeda Satoshi
Ikeda Satoshi’s debut single can be considered one of the songs that symbolize the J-pop scene of the 1980s.
Its urbane, stylish melody carries an AOR-like flavor, and the uplifting choral work in the chorus is striking.
Once it aired as the commercial song for the Suzuki Alto, it caught on instantly and even ranked on The Best Ten.
His collaboration with Asami Kobayashi also became a hot topic.
Although the track is wrapped in a smooth, refreshing feel, the vocal line is simple and the range isn’t wide, so I think it’s very easy to sing.

From the TV anime Lucky Star, which depicts the everyday lives of a group of unique high school girls, this is the opening theme sung by the characters from the series.
With its distinctive lyrics and melody, it’s a song that, once you hear it, somehow sticks in your head.
MomentsHamasaki Ayumi
A song that weaves together heartache and selfless devotion to others has captured the hearts of many.
Centered on the transience of dreams and the harshness of reality, its lyrics stand out for their profound emotional expression.
The ballad-style melody, highlighted by Ayumi Hamasaki’s powerful yet delicate vocals, resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in March 2004, the track was also featured in a commercial for KOSÉ’s cosmetics brand VISÉE.
It’s recommended for occasions when you want to express gratitude to someone special, such as Mother’s Day or weddings.
Why not convey the feelings you can’t put into words through music?
Movin’ on without youHamasaki Ayumi
The original song is Hikaru Utada’s second single.
It became a hot topic after Ayumi Hamasaki performed it at her own live show! Ayu, another diva who was often called Utada’s rival, delivers a cool, rock-style rendition of the Heisei era diva’s song.
Listening to this track will make you appreciate Ayumi Hamasaki’s greatness all over again.
MONEYHamada Shogo
With its sharp insight into society and universal themes, this song brilliantly depicts the impact money has on people.
Repeatedly emphasizing desire, madness, and change surrounding money, it vividly conveys the inner conflicts that lie deep within the human heart.
Included on the album “DOWN BY THE MAINSTREET,” released in October 1984, it became a major hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon chart.
Packed with Shogo Hamada’s distinctive worldview and keen perception, this track prompts reflection on money and human nature.
It’s a song worth listening to when you find yourself at a crossroads in life or want to reexamine your values.
Another SaturdayHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada’s songs are very popular with men, and many people sing them at karaoke.
This song, “Another Saturday,” was included as the B-side to the single “LONELY—Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” released in 1985, and is one of Hamada’s signature ballads.
While Hamada often has a “masculine” image, his ballads are sure to move people of all kinds.
It’s also a favorite among women—why not try singing this gentle, heartfelt portrayal of a man’s feelings?
Monochrome RainbowHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada is an artist who enjoys overwhelming popularity among men in their 50s and 60s.
It may not be the generation for men in their 40s, but some of you might have listened to him under the influence of siblings or seniors.
In that case, I recommend Monochrome no Niji (Monochrome Rainbow).
While many people may associate Shogo Hamada with ballads, this piece is crafted as an upbeat rock track.
It doesn’t exactly have a narrow vocal range, but since it uses chord progressions commonly found in J-pop, I think it’s easy for anyone to sing.
