[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.

mochi poundingSakushi: Amano Chou / Sakkyoku: Ichinomiya Michiko
This children’s song energetically celebrates mochitsuki, a traditional New Year’s custom.
With lyrics by Chō Amano and music by Michiko Ichimiya, it has long been beloved in early childhood education.
Onomatopoeic words that mimic the sound of the pestle striking the mortar bounce in rhythmic repetition, creating a lively beat that makes the act of pounding rice itself feel like music.
Its bright major-key melody and easy-to-remember lyrics naturally get bodies moving.
Included in a 2004 music collection for preschool use, it has become a staple for New Year’s festivities.
Singing it together face-to-face while clapping or pretending to pound mochi may bring back fond memories of New Year’s past.
Deadly Poison Sundries Meikoya-sanSLAVE V-V-R
Created to commemorate MEIKO’s 21st anniversary, this song comes from the popular Vocaloid producer SLAVE.V-V-R—well-known for their “failed retirement.” It was released in November 2025.
The seductive tones of the accordion brilliantly bring to life an unsettling world: a general store dealing in poisons.
Blending the allegorical feel of dark fantasy with a cabaret-style theatrical flair, the piece weaves these elements together to exquisite effect.
MEIKO’s commanding vocals evoke a shopkeeper who is both eerie and irresistibly alluring.
The pinned comment on YouTube reportedly shares behind-the-scenes stories, so be sure to check it out after listening.
Highly recommended for those seeking a grotesque yet beautiful, venom-laced Vocaloid track!
Mochi GirlGesu no Kiwami Otome.
With sprightly guitars, tight drums, razor-edged synthesizers, and Enon Kawatani’s soaring high vocals darting every which way, this track appears on the 2013 mini-album “If You Can’t Dance, Then Become Vile.” Using mochi—an iconic New Year’s ingredient—as its motif, it spins out archaic diction and wildly imaginative metaphors.
It’s a quintessential Gesu no Kiwami Otome song that shines with a blend of comedy and sophisticated linguistic flair—perfect for anyone looking to liven up the mood with a distinctive number!
♡Pink Unrequited Love♡ feat. GorieGirls²
Girls² covered the classic hit that Aya Matsuura sang to great success in 2002, collaborating with Gorie, played by Gori of Garage Sale.
It was released digitally in August 2025 and also included on the EP “New Era.” Centered on a pink, Heisei-retro theme, this work is a quintessential idol song that adorably captures the flutter of unrequited love.
While keeping Tsunku’s memorable phrases and the brisk 8-beat intact, it’s been updated for today with Girls²’s dance skills and bright harmonies.
The choreography is cute and easy to learn, making it perfect for livening up company year-end or New Year parties!

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.
