[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.

Listening to the poetic lyrics and the somehow wistful melody, you can almost picture the scene of beautiful yet fleeting autumn leaves dancing in the air.

The familiar school song “Momiji” is something many people, regardless of generation, likely sang in music class during their elementary school days.

It is said that the lyricist, Tatsuyuki Takano, was so moved by the beauty of the autumn foliage he saw from the now-defunct Usui Pass “Shin’etsu Main Line Kumanodaira Station” that he wrote this poem.

Beyond this piece, he also penned famous songs such as “Spring Has Come,” “Furusato,” and “Spring Brook,” showing that he was a poet who skillfully rendered scenic imagery and the changing of the seasons into words.

It might be fair to say that this is the song most Japanese people associate with autumn leaves.
