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] Collection of Japanese songs starting with 'Mu' (331–340)

Ephemeral as a bubble; an illusion like a dreamYuigadokuson

It’s a standout track not just for its blend of Chinese-inspired sounds and electro-pop, but also for its striking lyrics that drop the names of specific foods.

Instead of eating everything by yourself, if you share it with your friends, it helps with dieting and leaves no regrets—the irresistibly high-energy lyrics make it an adorable song.

Moonlight LegendAmami Haruka (CV: Nakamura Eriko)

The theme song of the smash-hit anime Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Moonlight Densetsu—many of you probably know it.

Haruka Amami (CV: Eriko Nakamura) has covered it.

From the intro it gives a sparkling image, like something glittering is drifting down from the sky.

Her singing voice is adorable, and it’s a recommended number I’d love elementary school girls to listen to.

MOONHimuro Kyosuke

It’s included on the 1991 album “Higher Self.” Born in 1950, a singer-songwriter from Gunma Prefecture.

With a melancholy melody like walking under the moonlight and piano tones that could make you cry in the background, Himuro’s emotional singing pierces deep into your heart and won’t let go.

I still think this song is indispensable.

I can’t forget that famous line from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon that everyone admired back then: “In the name of the Moon, I’ll punish you!” Also, the lyrics actually have excellent rhyme throughout, making it a really fun song.

My daughter,Ashiya Gannosuke

This work is sung by Gannosuke Ashiya with a father’s love.

It gently expresses the complex emotions he feels before his daughter’s marriage.

Released in February 1984, the song quickly became a major hit and stayed on the Oricon charts for an extended period.

It also garnered numerous honors that year, including an appearance on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and a Special Award at the Japan Record Awards.

With lyrics that evoke the warmth of family love and Ashiya’s gentle voice, it’s a song that resonates with many.

It’s a perfect choice for those who cherish the parent-child bond or want to convey their feelings to a loved one through song.
