[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.

Once moreYuka
Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for a musical style shaped by being born and raised overseas.
Her slightly Western-influenced phrasing and songwriting are especially striking.
Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is her new track, “Mou Ichido” (“Once Again”).
It sits mostly in the mid-to-high range and is relatively easy compared to her other pieces.
If you struggle with the falsetto in the chorus, try lowering the key and singing with a whispery, mix-voice approach.
MOREKai Takayuki (EARTHSHAKER)
EARTH SHAKER, formed in 1978 as a heavy metal band.
Takayuki Kai has been active as the bassist for EARTH SHAKER since 1980.
In 1986, EARTH SHAKER became the first hard rock band in Japan to successfully perform at the Budokan.
Although they disbanded in 1994, they reunited in 1999, prompted by an event held at the live music venue Takutaku in Kyoto.
Alongside his work with EARTH SHAKER, he also performs as the bassist for The Police cover band “Keisatsu.”
If feat. Maruri to RyugaMirei Touyama
A next-generation love song featuring Maruri to Ryuga, a music duo born from Instagram Live.
The melody is insanely good.
You may have heard it in a commercial or on the show Buzz Rhythm.
The beautiful vocals of songstress Mirei Toyama and the harmonies of Maruri to Ryuga will really move you.
It’s the most recommended beautiful-melody ballad of 2019.
The Magic Train and Kirai-chanishiburo
This is Ishiburo’s “Mahō Densha to Kirai-chan,” which captures the languid emotions of adolescence through light, buoyant rock.
The lyrics observe the steady, everyday lives of people through strange, whimsical characters.
There are moments that make you anxious, as if they’re plotting something scary, but it all ends peacefully.
The remarkable thing about Ishiburo—as a bandman and guitarist—is how he delivers this content brightly in a rock style.
Using miki, with her airy, free-spirited character, and IA, with her natural, innocent persona, he skillfully creates a mysterious world.
It sounds like a song that would really shine as a duet!
monologueAkiyama Kiiro
This is Kiro Akiyama, a singer-songwriter from Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture.
Akiyama began making music online while still in high school.
In 2017, he became active in live performances, and the following year he released the digital single “Yasagure Kaido.” The track climbed high on Spotify’s charts, bringing him into the spotlight.
He went on to perform at many major rock festivals, and in 2020 he made his major-label debut with “Monologue,” which was chosen as the theme song for the drama Ten no Himitsu (10 Secrets).
His emotional, slightly wistful musical style has won widespread support.
One More Time… feat. BENIDōji-T
The final song in a trilogy by Dōji-T feat.
YU-A, released in 2011.
Over a piano-driven track, Dōji-T’s slightly idiosyncratic rap delivers dramatic lyrics about the future and the past.
Layered with YU-A’s vocals, the world of the song gains momentum—an inspiring duet number you won’t want to miss.

Once Again… feat. BENIDōji-T
A track by Dōji-T featuring BENI.
The lyrics portray two people who somehow drifted apart, and it really squeezes your heart.
Heartbreak always comes with that lingering regret of “How did it end up like this?” It’s a gentle ballad that stays by your side when you can’t move on from a past love.
