[Karaoke] A collection of Japanese songs that start with “Mu”

There are times when, right at the moment you need to pick a song at karaoke, you find yourself thinking, “What should I sing…?” Even if you usually listen to music, when the time comes, you can’t think of any song titles.

So this time, we’ve put together a feature that’s perfect for moments like that: a showcase of Japanese songs whose titles start with the syllable “mu.” We’ve picked works from a wide range of eras, so if you go through them in order, I’m sure you’ll come across songs you recognize!

[Karaoke] A Compilation of Japanese Songs Starting with “Mu” (251–260)

Mucha PrincessMedomia

Mucha Princess – Decentralized Autonomous Golem Rimuru

You can’t help getting hooked on the ever-flowing words and melodies of Medomia’s “Mucha Princess.” Just like the title suggests, it’s a song featuring a girl who does all sorts of outrageous things and says whatever she wants.

“Mucha” practically equals “selfish”—she’s completely self-centered.

That chaotic vibe also shows up in the rapid-fire vocal lines that zip by.

If you can sing it without stumbling, it might feel pretty satisfying! Try imagining that hopelessly selfish mood of the girl, get into character, and give singing it a go.

Yabai T-Shirts Yasan is a three-piece band from Osaka.

This song uses Wi‑Fi as its theme and sings about relatable situations for young people.

It’s a fun track that kids who, like many nowadays, are used to using devices like smartphones would likely enjoy.

If you’re looking for a song that’s perfect for the autumn season, I recommend this track by Yorushika.

The lyrics are striking, expressing the feelings of a protagonist burdened by loneliness and inner conflict through the metaphor of a creature howling at the moon.

It’s a song characterized by deep literary nuance and an emotional melody.

Released as a digital single on October 6, 2021, it drew attention even before its release, with an advance broadcast in Lawson stores nationwide in August 2021.

It’s perfect for spending long autumn nights after a school festival or sports day, listening with friends or a significant other.

Why not tune in to the heartfelt vocals, feeling both the difficulty of expressing emotions and the desire for self-fulfillment?

It was used as a theme song in the drama HIGH & LOW.

The song often plays at moments when the men raise their fists to protect what matters to them, and the clashes between men, combined with the music, ignite an intense fervor.

For many people, this is the song that defines HIGH & LOW.

Azumi Uehara – Colorless [Music Video]

This is a song that was used as an ending theme for the anime Detective Conan.

It’s sung by Azumi Uehara, a singer from Tokyo, and was released in 2002 as her fifth single.

For those who watched Detective Conan back then, it’s a nostalgic track.

The lyrics, which express the loneliness of being alone and the feeling of “I want to see you,” are heart-wrenching.

Her fragile vocals match the tone of the song beautifully.

It’s a bittersweet rock ballad that brings back memories of past loves.

It has been raining since long ago.Nakajima Miyuki

Starting from the commonplace scene of falling rain, the lyrics expand into a grand worldview that feels almost fused with nature—an unforgettable, moving hidden gem.

“Rain Has Been Falling Since Long Ago” is the B-side of the 40th single “Ichigo Ichie,” released in 2007, and it was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Sekai Ururun Taizaiki ‘Renaissance,’” so some of you may remember it.

It’s a laid-back J-pop tune with an easy-to-remember melody and a vocal range manageable even for male singers, making it easy to sing.

The soaring chorus in the latter half features a characteristically Nakajima-esque melody line with a slightly offbeat phrasing, which might take a bit of practice.

Listen repeatedly and sing along until you can pick up on Nakajima’s distinctive nuances!

Moonlight LegendNakagawa Shoko

Shoko Nakagawa, known as Shokotan, covered Moonlight Densetsu.

It’s the smash hit from the anime Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

This cover stays close to the original.

When Shokotan sings it, it’s so cute—you’ll want to keep listening.

The backing performance is arranged in a very accessible way, too.

It’s a wonderful track I can recommend to anyone.
