[Karaoke] Compilation of Japanese songs starting with “Mu” (1–10)
mu (back)NEW!dai baku ha shin
A track by Shin Daimakuha, released in March 2026.
It serves as an alternative perspective and a reconstruction of “Mu,” which was unveiled in 2024.
Within its brief runtime of about one minute, the arrangement strikingly unfolds garbled text and fragments of conversation at high speed.
And through the combination of the voice libraries Kasane Teto and Adachi Rei, it creates a unique listening experience in which the boundary between human warmth and mechanical coldness seems to waver.
MOONNEW!KAT-TUN
A KAT-TUN track released in April 2009.
Included only as a bonus track on the standard edition of the album “Break the Records -by you & for you-,” this song could truly be called a hidden gem.
Its romantic motifs—night and the moon, as the title suggests—mesh perfectly with the group’s cool, sultry vibe.
Even without a major tie-in, it has been loved for years, earning a spot on the 2016 fan-voted best-of compilation.
It’s the perfect song to listen to when you want to gaze up at the night sky and linger in a gentle afterglow.
incompetentNEW!österreich
Sharp, cutting guitar tones intertwine with a floating, ethereal ensemble to exquisitely express a brooding emotion that sinks inward.
The uniquely beautiful yet somehow unsettling atmosphere links with the protagonist’s sense of loss and pierces the heart.
This is the first single by österreich, the solo project of Kunimoto Takahashi, produced with guest vocalist Ai Kamano and released in March 2015.
Chosen as the opening theme for the anime Tokyo Ghoul √A, the song’s contrast between a transparent vocal and an ominous soundscape is irresistible.
It’s a perfect number for nights when you want to quietly face your inner conflicts, or when you want to fully immerse yourself in a story’s bleak yet beautiful world.

Long, Long Ago (Home Song)Hokkaidō
Among the three songs designated as songs of the people of Hokkaido in May 1967, this one is cherished as a home song.
In contrast to the vigorous march “Hikari Afurete,” it gently sings of the history of pioneering and everyday life, like an old folktale.
The lyrics were selected through a public contest, and the music was composed by Yoshinao Nakada, known for “Medaka no Gakkō.” Its warm melody remains deeply etched in the hearts of Hokkaido’s people today.
sleepwalkingmurasaki ima
A number by Ms.
Shikon that paints a romantic scene where the boundary between reality and dreams seems to melt away.
Many listeners have surely been captivated by her sultry vocal prowess and the profound lyrics that hit deep in the heart.
It’s a song whose gently conversational vocals, steeped in the ache of not quite being an adult, quietly sink into your soul.
This track appears on the album “Gallery,” released in May 2023, and is a fully realized piece that shines with an approach rooted in R&B and neo-soul.
Why not give it a listen when you’re feeling down?
Infinite ZeroAshu
It’s the kind of story that makes your heart race, as possibilities expand from zero to infinity.
Created by Vocaloid producer Ashu, it was released in February 2026 and ranked 17th in the Bokakore 2026 Winter TOP 100.
Featuring the UTAU voicebank Adachi Rei as the protagonist, it powerfully reframes “zero” not as “nothing,” but as “a beginning.” Including visuals crafted by Ashu himself, the fully realized worldbuilding is sure to overwhelm you.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to move forward—especially for those who worry they have “nothing.”
MoonthiefKitanitatsuya
If you’re into tricky, dark-tinged pop, this one’s for you.
With the unique metaphor of “stealing the moon,” the lyrics craft a superb worldview that seems to mock a society that’s hard to live in.
The springy beat and the cool, aloof sensuality of the arrangement are major draws as well.
In just over two minutes, this track condenses Tatsuya Kitani’s razor-sharp word choices and highly addictive rhythms.
Released in November 2023 as a lead single from the singer-songwriter’s album ROUNDABOUT, it’s a stark contrast that will surprise anyone who discovered him through the smash hit “Ao no Sumika.” Give it a listen while strolling through the city at night, or when you’re in a slightly cynical mood.
