[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 beginning with “Mo” (491–500)

Little Meg the Witch GirlMaekawa Yōko

Majokko Megu-chan is the seventh installment in Toei’s Magical Girl series, which aired starting in 1974.

A key feature is its story depicting the growth of the protagonist as she trains in the human world as a candidate for queen.

The song created as the opening theme is also well-known, portraying a girl who seems to be reaching just a bit beyond her years, set to a stylish sound.

While aligning closely with the story of the work, the song also feels like it expresses the emotions of a down-to-earth, real-life girl.

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.

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

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.
