[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.

Mobnoderella≠ME
A dramatic track with lyrics by Rino Sashihara and composition by Sota Sekiguchi and Katsuhiko Sugiyama.
Released in April 2025 as ≠ME’s 10th single, it’s the group’s first double A-side and topped the Oricon weekly chart.
A bittersweet yet beautiful medium-tempo ballad that captures the feelings of the “many others” who can’t be the protagonists of a fairy tale.
Center Nanaka Tomita’s expressively rich vocals convey the aching emotions straight to the listener.
A worldview that spotlights the stories outside the limelight—pure Sashihara at her finest.
When your heart aches from unrequited love, this song will quietly stay by your side.
Qiu & Kagepiinata
A ferocious track that fuses lyrics peppered with math terms like “QED” and “point P” with electro sound on the verge of collapse.
Crafted by Peanata, it features a worldview that captures both the frenzy of devotion to one’s oshi and the sudden waves of emptiness—sure to strike a deep chord with listeners living in the present.
Released in December 2025, the song has made a big splash, with the MV surpassing 100,000 views in just a few days.
Following “Tetrodotoxin” and “Acute Love Addiction,” it’s another irresistibly addictive number featuring Kasane Teto.
The MV—where visuals and sound are perfectly in sync—pairs with a rhythm of tightly punched kicks and snares and is a must-see.
Perfect for nights when you want to drown in a flood of sound.
peach-colored keyiyowa
The sparkling tones of piano and synthesizer lift the listener’s spirits.
Written specifically for the smartphone game “Project Sekai Colorful Stage! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” it was released in April 2023 and was also included on the June 2024 album “Movies, Sunlit Spots, Graduation Ceremonies.” The lyrics, as if conversing with one’s younger self, poignantly portray the anxieties of chasing a dream and the importance of friends, striking straight at the heart.
It’s a song that gives you courage when you’re taking on a challenge.
MossSakanakushon
From the very intro, this piece leaves a powerful impression with its ominous yet comical sound and lyrics that affirm the beauty of being a minority.
Danceable beats intertwine with synths and brass tones, lifting the listener’s spirits.
Released as a single in August 2019, it drew attention at the time for being deliberately issued in the 8 cm CD format.
It’s also included on the acclaimed album “834.194,” and became familiar to a broad audience as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Daughter of Lupin.” It continued to be used for the film adaptation as well, closely aligning with the work’s worldview.
It’s a classic I’d recommend to anyone who wants to stay true to themselves or needs to recharge their energy in a pivotal moment.
A Small Restaurant in the ForestTeshima Aoi
Aoi Teshima made a striking debut with Studio Ghibli’s film Tales from Earthsea and has continued to captivate listeners with her one-of-a-kind whispery voice.
Written for NHK’s Minna no Uta broadcasts in April and May 2023, this piece also drew attention for being composed by Naotaro Moriyama.
Set to a waltz rhythm, it paints charming forest scenes and a slightly mysterious tale.
At first glance it feels like a fairytale world, but the more you listen, the more you notice the lyrical depth—making it a storybook song for adults.
Use it as BGM for a café lunch hour or a reel showcasing your favorite knick-knacks, and your post will instantly be wrapped in a stylish vibe.
MonochromeKe no miko (CV: Tomatsu Haruka)
You’ll be captivated by the mystical vocals and grand strings.
This is an in-story song from the TV anime STAR DRIVER: Kagayaki no Takuto, performed by the Miko of Keito (Sakana-chan), who holds the key to the narrative.
It was included on the bonus CD bundled with Volume 1 of the video release in January 2011, and later became widely known through the album STAR DRIVER: Kagayaki no Takuto Songs & Soundtracks.
Words like “snow” and “fragments of stars” are sprinkled throughout, evoking a serene winter atmosphere.
Haruka Tomatsu’s dignified vocal performance beautifully conveys the character’s loneliness and prayer.
Listen in the quiet hours before dawn, and you’ll find yourself deeply immersed in the world of the story.
A recommended track for anyone seeking a mystical winter anime song.
morphineShiina Ringo
A dark and sultry track included on Ringo Sheena’s debut album, “Muzai Moratorium.” Its early-Sheena-esque sense of decadence and mystery is truly appealing.
The melody itself isn’t difficult and stays quite even, so I think it’s easy to sing.
There are some scooped notes that rise at the ends of phrases, but if you’re not good at them, it’s fine to ignore and sing normally.
Since there’s a part in the final chorus where the pitch rises, project your voice without hesitation.
Even if you go off-pitch, it’s okay—what matters most is singing out fully and enjoying yourself!
