[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.

Maybe PART IIKobayashi Sachiko & Miki Katsuhiko
Like “Izakaya,” it’s been over 20 years since its release, but it remains a popular karaoke duet.
This one is fun because of the playful back-and-forth between a slightly sulky woman and a somewhat suave man, so try singing it at a no-holds-barred party.
By the way, I didn’t realize it was written and composed by Katsuhiko Miki—he was an idol back in the day.
Morning GloryYamashita Tatsuro
Originally written for Mariya Takeuchi’s album “Miss M,” the song “MORNING GLORY” was later arranged by Tatsuro Yamashita himself.
Unusually for the time, the lyrics were also written by Yamashita, and the light, shuffling beat gives it a refreshing feel.
The vocal range is wide and the melody moves intricately, making it challenging; however, since the low notes don’t appear often, you should set a higher karaoke key to match your own range.
I also recommend listening closely to the ensemble while singing so you don’t stray from the bouncy rhythm.
MONSTER ROCKToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora
“MONSTER ROCK” is the debut single by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, released on April 21, 1990.
Known by the nickname “Skapara,” they are a band active worldwide.
Although there have been several member departures over the years, their popularity has remained steady from past to present.
They have also released many tracks in the “vocal single” style, featuring guest vocalists.
Once more, from the beginning.Matsuda Seiko
Seiko Matsuda’s 37th single, released on May 11, 1994.
A love song calling for us to return to those days once more.
By looking back and reexamining things with an honest heart, we might discover what truly matters—this song conveys those precious, easily forgotten truths through deeply poetic lyrics.
Morning GloryTakeuchi Mariya
This is a track included on the fourth album “Miss M,” released in 1980.
The lyrics and composition were by Tatsuro Yamashita, who later included the song on his own album “FOR YOU.” The lyrics are stylish and fun, full of playful, tightly woven rhymes, and the song itself is a bright, pleasant-to-the-ear, positive city-pop number with a medium tempo.
The title “Morning Glory” refers to the morning glory flower.
Once moreTakeuchi Mariya
Released in 1984 as the artist’s 10th single, it became well known as the theme song for the hit TV drama “Kurenai-zoku no Hanran.” It was her first single in three years since the previous release.
While she had been active as a lyricist and composer during her marriage and childbirth, this work also marked her return as a singer.
The lyrics, which portray a woman’s delicate emotions, and the easy-to-sing melody are among the charms of Mariya Takeuchi’s music.
It’s no wonder that this song is sung by many people, from karaoke beginners to advanced singers.
The Original Takagi Boo LegendKinniku Shoujo Tai
A rock band led by Kenji Ohtsuki.
The distinctive face paint is striking, isn’t it? The band is made up of members with strong individual personalities besides Ohtsuki, and that diversity directly shapes their broad musical range.
Even though their sound is gritty, straight-ahead rock, the lyrics can be darkly humorous or cynical… that contrast is one of their charms.
The song title Ganso Takagi Boo Densetsu (The Original Boo Takagi Legend) might make you think, “Are they a comedy band?” but it’s actually about the sorrows of love.
Playing the role of a clown, the narrator shouts, “I’m just like Boo Takagi from The Drifters!” It’s a track that could be called the very essence of what’s known as Kinjō—short for Kinniku Shōjo Tai.
