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.

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.

Songs with Titles Starting with “No” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (381–390)
Nozomi, Kanae, TamaeKinniku Shoujo Tai
The title of Kinniku Shōjo-tai’s last indie album was also Nozomi Kanae Tamae.
Seeing that the back cover is captioned “The Dark Side of the Force, so-called Nozomi Kanae Tamae,” it might be a track the band themselves are particularly fond of.
The story that begins with “A girl sank into a swamp; a god of reticles was watching” feels like both a church mass and a black magic ritual, and as you listen, it inevitably becomes frightening.
The switch into the metal-mode chorus is a must-hear.
It’s a song of despair I want not only metal fans but everyone to listen to.

Brain Misoo Husband Exercisesnou misoo
This is exactly what it means when a song gets stuck in your head after just one listen.
It’s a track by comedian Nōmiso-o (Nōmisoo), released in 2017, and its surreal vibe became a hot topic on social media.
Just hit play and you’ll see what I mean! The further you listen, the more it’ll make you laugh—and you’ll start wanting to sing it yourself.
It’s that kind of song.
There’s choreography, too, so it’s perfect for year-end and New Year parties, welcome/farewell parties, or as a performance at wedding receptions.
Best enjoyed with a big group!
Nostalgic Itsuki VariationHanakyōin Shinobu
Shinobu Kakyoin made a dazzling debut in 1978 with “Fūfudō” and has continued to base her activities in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.
Born on August 27, 1957, she brought a fresh breeze to the world of Japanese enka with her warm, heartfelt vocals and performances featuring the shamisen.
In particular, her standing shamisen style captivates audiences and has become her trademark.
Her singing and playing convey a deep love for her hometown and a profound respect for Japanese culture.
Beginning with winning the top International Grand Prix in 1995, she has etched her name in numerous records, and every one of her songs resonates deeply with listeners.
Even now, she enjoys a large fan base and continues to enthrall audiences with emotionally rich performances on stage.
neurosishachiya nanashi
Neurosis, created by Nanashi Hachiya, portrays the messy tangle of emotions—anger, sadness, and more—after parting ways with someone you loved with your whole heart.
Even the tricky melody hints at the panic that comes with a breakup.
You poured so much love into it, only to be handed a cruel goodbye; now you’re timid about your next relationship, and even your past memories turn into darkness…
This is a song that empathizes with anyone who’s gone through a lingering “How dare you!” kind of breakup, offering a bit of catharsis as it stands by your side.
No.1Nishino Kana
Kana Nishino, who recently made her music available on subscription streaming, is still fresh in our memories.
There are so many songs I want you to listen to, but for those in love, I especially recommend “No.1.” Released in 2015, this track expresses the flutter of excitement and the frustration of not getting a reply to a message from the person you like.
These days, social media like LINE is the norm, but you’ll surely relate.
The parts that sing about work can be reinterpreted as studying or part-time jobs in your own life, making it even easier to immerse yourself emotionally.
No End SummerKadamatsu Toshiki
No End Summer, sung by Toshiki Kadomatsu, is captivating with its chord progression that feels quintessentially Showa-era kayokyoku.
Compared to conventional kayokyoku, this track is arranged with a dance-music sensibility, elevating it to a more urban atmosphere.
In particular, after a major break in the C section, an aching melody with English lyrics comes in, instantly tugging at your heartstrings.
The use of brass instruments like the saxophone is also highly effective, resulting in a beautiful arrangement that would fit right into contemporary music.
peepholeakai kouen
Rather than being sick or twisted, it has quite a mysterious worldview and gives off a dark impression.
Interpreting the lyrics is pretty difficult, so I think it’s best to listen with the aim of immersing yourself in this dark atmosphere.
That’s how strong the song’s worldview is!
