[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.

MottoAbe Mao
This is a song that helps you remember who you are during days when it’s easy to lose sight of what matters.
Mao Abe’s powerful yet delicate voice resonates deeply.
Released in May 2011 as her sixth single, it also drew attention as her comeback work after vocal cord surgery.
The lyrics convey the importance of expressing your true self without worrying about others’ opinions.
It’s perfect as a theme song for school festivals and cultural festivals.
If everyone sings it together, it will surely inspire confidence and courage.
A recommended track for moments when you want to get fired up with friends.
Mononoke DanceDenki Gurūvu
My brain gets wrecked by its avant-garde sound.
It’s a track by Denki Groove, released as a single in February 2008.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime “Hakaba Kitaro.” The lyrics, inspired by traditional Japanese ghost stories and urban legends, feel like opening a door to another world.
And perhaps thanks to its light, nimble rhythm, it has a charm that makes you want to listen to it over and over.
It contains both fear and addictiveness, and even after time has passed since its release, it doesn’t feel dated at all.
monkey businessAoya Natsuo
It’s a Vocaloid track with a bouncy rhythm that feels great.
The song is by the Vocaloid producer Natsuo Aoya, also known for works like “Sensui” and “UFO,” and it was released in 2015.
With a style and melody that blend hip-hop and jazz, it’s wonderfully easy on the ears.
The words in the lyrics have a pleasing sound, too, and they make you want to sing along yourself.
It keeps its groove right up to the very end.
Highly recommended for people who aren’t very familiar with jazz yet and want to start exploring it.
MOILSuda Keina
Are you familiar with the hugely popular Vocaloid track “Charles”? Its creator, Balloon, is in fact the singer-songwriter Keina Suda.
He debuted in 2013 as a Vocaloid producer on Nico Nico Douga and began his career as a singer-songwriter in 2017.
His refined musical style—stylish yet tinged with shadow—and his clear, sharp, expansive vocals are compelling.
Many people try to imitate him when singing at karaoke.
He’s a singer with a passionate following among younger generations.
Could it be… you?Kouzai Kaori
Kaori Kozai’s masterpiece “Moshiyā… Anta ga,” released in partnership with composers like Keisuke Hama and Toyohisa Araki, is a song that hints at enka flavor—such as through its guitar arpeggios—yet remains fundamentally a pop work.
The kobushi (melodic embellishment) appears only once, on a long tone transitioning from the B section to the chorus.
However, because it strongly emphasizes the “crying song” aspect of pop, solid emotional expression is essential.
The basic vocal line itself is on the easier side, so if you’d like to deliver an emotionally charged vocal performance with a little help from some drinks, this is definitely worth checking out.
Lullaby of Yearning for HomeTakakura Ken
That famous figure—one of the foremost creators of the Showa era.
His enka-style theme song really touches the heart.
With its easy-to-remember melody, it makes you want not only to listen but to sing along.
How about everyone singing it together in celebration?
Glow-up!takane no nadeshiko
A summer-colored song that brightens up July on the calendar.
In this track from Takane no Nadeshiko, the bashfulness of a girl in love and her desire to become cuter are expressed with a refreshing sound.
Set to a lively melody, the lyrics vividly portray a girl polishing herself for love, leaving a strong impression.
The positive vocals and catchy rhythm feel great and are sure to lift your spirits just by listening.
Released digitally in July 2024, the song also drew attention as a tie-up with the cosmetics brand “Eye Talk.” The music video, set in a library, depicts a girl who’s in love with the idea of love.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to boost your self-improvement motivation or simply change your mood.
