[Karaoke] A Collection of Japanese Songs Starting with “Mu” (321–330)
MuuNiru Kajitsu
A Vocaloid track by Nirukagachi that stands out for its highly addictive melody and emotional lyrics.
Released in October 2024, it was included on the album “MWLÁND,” which came out in November of the same year.
The song symbolizes the human psyche swaying between life and death, love and despair, and poses questions about loneliness in the digital age.
Its sound design transcends genre boundaries, and the composition—where stillness and intensity intersect—draws listeners in.
You can dive into interpreting the lyrics’ world, or simply surrender yourself to the sound without thinking.

Moon GuysNiru Kajitsu
The fast-paced sound and the razor-sharp singing of Hatsune Miku leave a strong impression.
Produced by Nirukajitsu, this work was released in September 2024.
Included on the album “MWLÁND,” the song uses the metaphor of soldiers to express the difficulty of maintaining one’s true self within society.
Paired with its speedy arrangement, it strikes sharply at the listener’s heart.
It’s perfect for those in the midst of self-discovery or anyone struggling with inner conflict in society.
It’s sure to resonate with many people.
Impossible!! (You can’t do that)bakufū suranpu
Included on the 1984 album “Yoi.” A four-piece rock band formed in 1982 in Tokyo.
Due to inappropriate expressions in the lyrics, the song was designated as banned from broadcast by NHK.
For a while after its release, combined with their provocative live performances, the band was often treated as a comedy act.
The one I’m infatuated withFaye Wong
Faye Wong, well-known in Japan for the film Chungking Express and for Eyes on Me, the theme song of Final Fantasy VIII.
The song that became a hit as an insert track in Chungking Express is this one, noted for the beautiful quality of its distinctive falsetto.
Even people who haven’t seen the movie have likely heard the song somewhere.
In 2016, her daughter Leah Dou covered it with Japanese lyrics she wrote herself.
IgnoreIkuta Erika
Erika Ikuta is known as an artist with a clear, beautiful singing voice and solid technique.
She debuted in 2011 as a first-generation member of Nogizaka46 and, alongside her idol activities, also thrived as a musical theater actress.
After graduating from Nogizaka46 in 2021, she transitioned to a solo career.
In 2024, she released her first EP, “capriccioso,” establishing a unique world that fuses her classical roots with pop music.
Having studied piano since childhood, she boasts numerous accolades, including being a prizewinner in the Piano Division of the 21st Japan Classical Music Competition and receiving the 8th Tokiko Iwatani Encouragement Award.
With a wide repertoire ranging from musical theater classics to pop, Ikuta’s expressive voice captivates listeners’ hearts.
Her music is highly recommended for those seeking encounters with beautiful sound.
Spring has come to MoominvalleyShiratori Emiko
As the title suggests, this piece was used in the anime The Fun-Filled Moomin Family.
It’s sung by singer-songwriter Emiko Shiratori, who also served as the show’s narrator, and is included on the soundtrack Moomin Selection: Moomin Theme Song Collection.
It’s a soothing number where gentle vocals shine over a relaxed arrangement.
The melody evokes images of fresh spring leaves.
Give it a listen when you want to spend some quiet, unhurried time.
Moonlight Galaxysōtaisei riron
A band known for many philosophical songs, Soutaiseiriron.
From their album “Synchroniciteen,” I’d like to introduce “Moonlight Galaxy.” This one has a super slow tempo and a gentle, soothing feel.
It runs a bit long at around six minutes, which lets you really savor the performance and vocals.
By the way, the points that evoke space are where words like “galaxy” appear in the lyrics.
It’s rich in metaphor, so it’s fun to ponder what kind of scenes it’s depicting.
