[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.

As you’d expect from a waltz, its triple meter feels wonderfully comfortable.

But this is no ordinary waltz! It’s the “Witch’s Waltz,” so an air of mystery lingers throughout.

The tempo sweeps you along at times, then settles into a relaxed, steady pulse—making this a busy but highly recommended piece.
