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?

Things like “Nobody…,” “Note,” “NOT…,” and so on.
There are also memorable masterpiece tracks that symbolize the artists themselves.

Songs with Titles Starting with “No” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (221–230)
(no) ReasonLil’ Leise But Gold & KM
A track by Lil’ Leise But Gold that lets you soak in a softly mysterious world.
It’s a dance tune marked by a gentle voice and melody that seem to glide effortlessly through any filter of the heart.
It’d be slick to groove to this at a club.
Just like the phrase “no reason”—which literally means there’s no reason—it’s a song you can move to purely on feeling.
Not AloneLinkin Park
This is a charity song created to support recovery from the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Linkin Park was known for being pro-Japanese, with Mike Shinoda, who is of Japanese descent, among its members, and for holding a benefit concert in 2011 to support recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
However, in 2017, vocalist Chester Bennington passed away suddenly, and their Japan tour was canceled.
If you were a fan, it might be meaningful to perform this song as a tribute on a culture festival or school festival stage—where even students who aren’t interested in music gather.

No Promises to KeepLoren Allred
This is a commercial for FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, which is being released for PlayStation 5.
The “Battle & Field” version highlights battle scenes, while the “Story” version presents the game’s narrative in a movie-trailer style with stunning visuals.
The “Story” version also features No Promises to Keep, sung by Lauren Allred.
The song was composed by the legendary game music composer Nobuo Uematsu and crafted into a moving ballad.
NOT OkayLuby Sparks
Luby Sparks is a five-piece co-ed band that plays alternative rock rooted in shoegaze and dream pop.
They’re known for writing songs with English lyrics, and their sound—clearly influenced by iconic ’90s bands like The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine—is a major part of their appeal.
In 2017, they produced their first album with Max from Yuck, and have steadily honed their craft since then, including a collaboration with Andy Savours, who worked on My Bloody Valentine’s “m b v.” Although they faced setbacks—such as their China tour being canceled due to the pandemic—they continue to take on new musical challenges.
They’re highly recommended for younger listeners who admire ’90s music and for anyone who enjoys the distinctive harmonies created by intertwining male and female vocals.
KNOCKIN’ ON YOUR DOORL⇔R
The band L⇔R gained popularity with their refreshing musical style that mixes rock and J-pop.
Although they were active in the 1990s, many of their songs evoke the sound of the 1980s, and their catchy music won them many fans.
Among their tracks, one I especially recommend is “KNOCKIN’ ON YOUR DOOR.” It has a slight city-pop vibe, featuring a smooth vocal line with gentle rises and falls in pitch throughout.
The range is a bit on the higher side, but as long as you stay in key, it’s a song that anyone can sing.
NOX LUXMYTH & ROID
This is a dark fantasy-style anime song notable for its bold sound and profound lyrics.
Created by MYTH & ROID and released in October 2024, it was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- 3rd season.
The fusion of electronic soundscapes and powerful vocals conveys a grand sense of scale.
The lyrics are also compelling, portraying the strength to move forward by overcoming trials.
It’s an emotionally stirring work that explores themes such as darkness and light, and the individual and the community.

A female singer who began taking full-fledged auditions in elementary school and made her major debut in high school under her real name, Mei Nakabayashi.

Her high expressive ability and vocal power evoke the world of each song and draw listeners in.
Since 2018, she has also been active as a stage actress, showcasing her multifaceted artistic sensibilities.
