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.

Songs with Titles Starting with “No” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori Too!] (411–420)
NostalgiaAikawa Nanase
This is the 10th single by Nanase Aikawa, who was active in the 1990s, released on May 8, 1998.
It was a major hit, selling over 200,000 copies.
It was used as the CM song for Hitachi Maxell’s “Maxell MD.”
Noto PeninsulaIshikawa Sayuri
Following “Tsugaru Strait Winter Landscape” and “Amagi-goe,” Sayuri Ishikawa’s masterpiece “Noto Peninsula.” While this piece firmly carries the hallmarks of enka, it also features plenty of vocal lines closer to kayōkyoku.
In particular, the transition from the B section into the chorus has qualities reminiscent of 1970s kayōkyoku and pop ballads.
There are passages that use falsetto, so the range is somewhat wide; however, for a Sayuri Ishikawa song, the overall difficulty is relatively low because there are notably fewer kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
If the early-chorus falsetto is difficult, I recommend lowering the key—or conversely, raising it slightly to make producing the falsetto easier.
Cursed Pinksaitou owari
It’s a bittersweet Vocaloid song that portrays the struggle with self-esteem.
Created by Owari Saito, it was released in February 2025.
Beneath its pop sound, it weaves in a distinctive dark edge and a fantastical worldview.
It delicately depicts the inferiority that arises from comparing yourself to others and questions the “cuteness” society demands.
If you can’t quite find the courage to give a White Day return gift, this song might just sit with those slightly hesitant feelings.
Let it help you sort out your emotions—and go ahead and give that present.

non-useInabakumo
It’s a track that keeps a steady rhythm and, while quiet, asserts itself with unwavering resolve.
It’s high-sense and avant-garde, yet undeniably catchy and cute.
Its distinctive, single-minded sound becomes more alluring the more you listen.
It’s a song you’ll want to play over and over, revealing new flavors each time you return to it.
NostalgiaTakeuchi Mariya
A single cut from the album “Bon Appetit!”, released in 2001.
It also served as the theme song for a TV Asahi drama.
The strings are used effectively, giving the song a somewhat nostalgic feel, just as the title suggests.
It depicts a woman reminiscing about an unforgettable first love.
Mariya Takeuchi’s voice exudes poignancy and beautifully conveys the song’s world.
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!
