[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.

[Karaoke] Collection of songs with titles starting with “Mo” (41–50)
MonsterDa-iCE
A digital-only track by Da-iCE that fuses heavy dance music with vocals from all members.
Released on October 22, 2025, the song was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded, based on the smartphone game.
Produced by Tōru Iwaoka and Hayate Wada, it delivers an aggressive sound that blends J-pop with elements of hip-hop and electro.
It’s a track that combines tension and groove, perfect for an anime opening.
Moo！Pimm’s
A danceable rock number that makes your heart skip, released by Pimm’s in April 2019.
The lyrics were written by Koji Uehara and the music and arrangement by Hidetoshi Nishihara.
Sharp-edged guitar riffs and a driving beat blend perfectly with an idol-like delicacy.
The lyrics use light, witty metaphors to depict the swell of a mature crush and a sense of self-liberation—resonating, perhaps, with young people of the time who were eager to act a bit older.
It was also played over in-store broadcasts at convenience stores, so some may remember catching it while shopping.
With an irresistibly catchy chorus that makes you want to sing along, it’s a pop tune perfect for a drive with friends or the walk home after school.
MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella
Momotaro, a classic folktale smashed into a modern style.
It’s an offbeat hit that blends electro, rap, and irony—and the lyrics are really entertaining! Since the song is built more on spoken-style rap than on “singing,” even people who aren’t confident with pitch can enjoy it.
It repeats lots of similar phrases and melodies, so even first-time listeners at karaoke should be humming along by the second half.
I personally love this song, so if anyone wants to learn it, let’s practice together! It’s all about the groove—keep a steady rhythm so the tempo doesn’t rush, use your whole body, and sing it out.
moreConton Candy
A ballad that captures, with a rock sound, the feelings of being tormented by regret while looking back on a love that has ended.
Released in January 2024, this track marks a step beyond Conton Candy’s previously pop-oriented style.
The lyrics, drawn from vocalist Tsumui’s own real experiences, repeat the question of “if only I had…” and pierce the heart.
It’s a song that gently stays by the side of anyone who can’t let go of a past romance or something they’ve lost.
sympathetic tearsHitoto Yo
The debut single by singer-songwriter Yo Hitoto, who has a Taiwanese father and a Japanese mother and continued making music in an a cappella club while attending Keio University.
Released in October 2002, the song reached No.
4 on the Oricon charts without a major tie-in and became a long-running hit, staying on the chart for 70 weeks.
The lyrics, which depict how a friend’s tears set off a chain reaction of emotions, are said to have been inspired by a heartbreak she experienced during her university years.
The striking chorus was crafted so that it can be sung universally using only vowels, creating a unique world where an Oriental, R&B-tinged arrangement and her resilient, powerful vocals blend exquisitely.
In 2003, the song earned her the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist and her first appearance on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, making it the track that defined her career as an artist.
mo∞entKito Akari
This piece was released digitally in July 2025 as the ending theme for the second part of the TV anime “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun 2.” The lyrics, composition, and arrangement are by Saku, and they capture the protagonist’s resolve to move forward despite carrying regret and impatience.
And of course, Akari Kito’s clear, transparent vocals are wonderfully emotional.
With its worldview that blends the uncanny and the everyday, it’s an anime song that lets you savor the afterglow of the story—especially when you listen on Halloween night.
moored boatMifune Kazuko
Sixty years after her 1965 debut, a single symbolizing that journey was released in October 2025.
This work, which overlays the feelings of two lovers who cannot be together onto a boat, is a classic enka that captures the subtleties of a heartrending romance.
The emotive lyrics by Chiyo Yoshimi, the wistful melody by Chiaki Oka, and the arrangement by Tatsuo Matsui—fusing tradition with a contemporary sonic balance—are in splendid harmony.
Moreover, Kazuko Mifune’s richly expressive vocals vividly convey the rising passion from the conversational A-melody to the soaring chorus.
A track to savor slowly.
