Songs with titles starting with 'O' [Great for karaoke and shiritori!]

Songs with titles starting with “O” often feature unique names—like those using characters meaning “dance” or “gold,” as well as Osaka-themed songs.

They also tend to be great for getting everyone fired up when singing! I can’t think of many off the top of my head, so I want to look some up…

This is a list that might come in handy at such times: songs with titles that start with “O.” Use it when you’re wondering, “What songs start with ‘O’?” and also as a prompt for shiritori or when choosing tracks at karaoke.

Songs With Titles Starting With “O” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (1–10)

danceNEW!Ado

This song is known as a flagship of the dance-tune style that symbolizes Ado’s early period.

It was selected as the theme song for NHK General’s music program “Yako Ongaku: VocaloP 5min.” and was released digitally in April 2021.

Featuring powerhouse creators like Giga, TeddyLoid, and DECO*27, the track was also included on her first album, “Kyogen.” Ado’s razor-sharp vocals intertwine with densely packed electro and EDM beats, captivating listeners with its dizzying developments.

The forceful word choices and up-tempo sound are a perfect match, clearing away feelings of gloom.

It’s the perfect number for those moments when you want to forget daily stress and go all out at karaoke, riding the rhythm and getting pumped up.

HONESTYNEW!KAT-TUN

This is a coupling track that was included only on the regular edition of the single “UNLOCK,” released in March 2016.

Rather than flashy mind games, it straightforwardly portrays the bewilderment and purity of the moment a heart begins to move in everyday life—a love song that exudes a gentle, intimate atmosphere.

Unusual for a KAT-TUN track, it’s a mid-tempo pop number that puts sincere emotional shifts front and center, and live footage of the song was included as a bonus in the video release of their 2022 nationwide tour.

The members’ tender, embracing vocals are soothing and will warm your heart.

Onomatopoeia AngelNEW!teniwoha

It’s an irresistible piece with a bouncy rhythm and a rapid-fire storytelling style! The track is by Teniwoha, a Vocaloid producer known for hits like “Villain,” and it was released in February 2026.

Positioned as a sibling song to the previously produced “Onomatopoe-Trickster,” this work is packed with theatrical spoken-word passages and catchy, repetitive phrases.

The comical, suspicious atmosphere is just fantastic.

Be sure to lend an ear to the rapid-fire wordplay and humor-filled development.

This track was produced by Neguse., a rock band based in Nagoya, featuring singer-songwriter Reira Ushio as a guest.

Released in June 2025, it was chosen as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s show “What’s So Bad About Being Jaded?” for the July 2025 cour, and it’s still fresh in our minds how it went hugely viral on platforms like TikTok.

It’s also surprising to hear that, based on a demo created as a stripped-down vocal-and-guitar piece about two years earlier, they completed the song at a breakneck pace in just one month.

Set to a mellow, R&B-tinged sound, the lyrics portray the frustration of mutual love hindered by distance, drawing on the Tanabata motif.

The crystalline call-and-response between vocalist Ryotachi and Reira Ushio is superb.

It’s the perfect track for a night drive or when you want to stoke those romantic feelings!
