Songs with titles starting with “No” (Perfect for karaoke and shiritori!)

You probably can’t immediately think of many song titles that start with “no,” can you?

There are relatively many words you don’t often hear in everyday life, and lots of them have English titles.

Things like “Nobody…,” “Note,” “NOT…,” and so on.

There are also memorable masterpiece tracks that symbolize the artists themselves.

I’ve put together a list of song titles that might be useful when you want to look something up—just a bit…!

Feel free to use it not only when you’re curious about what songs start with “no,” but also as a prompt for shiritori word games or when choosing songs at karaoke.

I found out about this song because my younger brother sang it at karaoke.

I listened to it when I got home and got hooked right away.

Wagakki Band also did a cover of it.

The 96Neko version sounds a bit cooler.

After I got married, I learned that my husband knew it too, so we sang it together at karaoke (lol).

When I first listened without looking at the title, I thought, “What a nostalgic melody…” and the moment I saw the title, I felt a pang of frustration (laughs).

That’s how perfectly the song—and the melody carried by the vocals—embodies a captivating sense of nostalgia.

The lyrics make you want to dig into their meaning, but setting that aside, this is a track you can dive into purely through its sound.

NO BLUESSaitō Kazuyoshi

If you want to get the crowd going at karaoke, I recommend Kazuyoshi Saito’s “NO BLUES.” His music strikes an appealing balance between pop rock and blues, without leaning too far in either direction, and that multifaceted quality is part of what makes him so compelling.

It may be what elevates his artistry and draws listeners in.

If younger generations want to take on the blues seriously at karaoke, this is a great place to start.

“NO BLUES” features a comfortable bluesy melody and calls for a vocal range that’s manageable to sing.

By all means, have fun and enjoy a classic blues number at karaoke.

Etude of the Wild RoseMatsuda Seiko

This is the 11th single composed by Kazuo Zaitsu of Tulip.

It was used as the commercial song for Glico’s Pocky.

The commercial, in which he himself appeared, was filmed in Hakodate, Hokkaido.

The song has a distinctive opening, doesn’t it?

This song sings about a gay romance.

Noriyuki Makihara himself has come out as gay, and the song carries a very strong message.

It’s a catchy pop tune, yet the lyrics and melody have a poignant sadness that really grabs you.

The beautiful yet raw expressions draw you in.

Whether the listener is gay or not, there’s likely a lot in this song they can relate to.

This is a song included on Type-C of Silent Majority, the debut single by Keyakizaka46.

It’s a track that makes you feel it’s okay to pursue your dreams in your own way.

The hardships endured for that purpose are beautiful, and the lyrics—filled with hope that one day we’ll each achieve our dreams and meet again—leave a lasting impression.
