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.

A track that shook the hearts of fans who longed for their return, symbolizing BEAST’s resurgence! Its hope-filled melody resonates in the chest like a warm spring breeze after a harsh winter.

As the words “it’s not the end” suggest, the time apart was never a farewell, but rather a prologue to their reunion.

This song is included on the mini-album “The Blowing,” released in May 2021, and it impressively took first place on Korean music shows.

Listen to it when you’re wishing to reunite with someone dear or standing at the start of something new—it’s sure to fill you with courage.

With a title that evokes Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, this ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION song carries a powerful message for peace.

Its exhilarating sound seems to voice dissent against the folly and absurdity of war.

The rapid shifts between stillness and intensity evoke both the anxiety of a peaceful everyday life being shattered and a heartfelt cry to hold on to ideals nonetheless.

The album that features this track, World World World, was released in March 2008 and reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

It’s a song that makes you reflect on how precious ordinary life truly is—and what we can do to protect it.

Everyone believes in their own justice, and at times that becomes the spark of conflict.

This work movingly captures that human nature, along with a prayer-like wish for coexistence that persists nonetheless.

Rather than condemning one side of a confrontation, the lyrics imagine the uncompromising feelings and backgrounds of each, making them a message for peace itself.

The song was included on the acclaimed 2007 October release “I Love You, Kotaetekure,” and in 2015 it was also used in a fashion brand’s commercial.

When you’re suffering from your own sense of rightness or pained by rifts with others, listening to it will let the warmth of its gaze bring you solace.

A cool, defiant track that rides on sharp rap and lays bare genuine, unfiltered feelings.

This is a solo song by Juri Tanaka of SixTONES, and it carries a powerful force that seems to pierce the listener’s heart.

It’s an ambitious piece he was deeply involved in crafting—so much so that he calls it “a new drawer of myself”—and that meticulous dedication comes through in every detail of the sound.

When you want to move forward with confidence or stay true to your convictions, this song will give you a strong push from behind.

Would you like some Noto?Sakamoto Fuyumi

This is one of Fuyumi Sakamoto’s signature songs, evoking scenes of sharing drinks while reminiscing about one’s hometown.

The lyrics depict the sights and everyday life of Noto, imbued with a deep affection for one’s roots and a poignant yet passionate longing to return.

It’s remarkable how this warm worldview, combined with Sakamoto’s powerful yet embracing vocals, stirs a sense of nostalgia in listeners.

Released in May 1990 as her seventh single, the song won the Wire Music Award at the 23rd Japan Cable Radio Awards.

Its popularity is also evident from her performance of it at that year’s 41st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

For those striving away from home, hearing it may bring back memories of familiar landscapes and cherished loved ones.

Captain SlowpokeŌe Yutaka

An uplifting anthem that defined the 2000s, stirring the heart with its portrait of someone single-mindedly pursuing their dream despite being clumsy.

Released in February 2009 as Hiroshi Oe’s debut single, it was selected as the ending theme for TBS’s variety show “Sanma no Super Karakuri TV,” and, together with his distinctive personality, became widely beloved by audiences at home.

It tells the story of a protagonist who keeps moving forward step by step, holding a strong resolve to one day become a big name, even if people around him laugh.

Created by his mentor Saburo Kitajima under the pen name Jōji Hara, the song is also included on Oe’s first album, “Enka Taisho • Hiroshi Oe — Nihon Rettō Uta Hikyaku I.” Hiroshi Oe’s passionate vocals convey that pure sentiment straight and true, as if gently giving listeners a push forward.

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.
