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.

Despite its cheerful clapping and festive melody, this work chills you with the cynical message of its lyrics and the eerie atmosphere of its music video.

Shizensuisan’s “Omedetou,” released in June 2025.

Once you hear it, you’ll be shocked at how ominous words of congratulations can sound.

Quoting a familiar phrase from Beethoven, it conjures a crazed celebratory mood.

Why not take your time to ponder the true intent hidden behind the words?

ingrateNakajima Miyuki

Despite its seemingly dismissive title at first glance, this is actually a ballad by Miyuki Nakajima that sings of unconditional love.

Released in October 2012 as her 43rd single, it colored the story as the theme song for the drama “Tokyo Zenryoku Shoujo.” You can feel a gaze that wraps even the other person’s straightforward—if a bit bothersome—actions in great affection.

The simple arrangement centered on piano and strings, if anything, highlights the lyrics’ poignancy and warmth.

It’s a song that makes your heart swell with the beauty of caring for someone without expecting anything in return.

ONLY YOUBOØWY

A powerful yet pure message about overcoming past pain and vowing unconditional love to the one and only special person—this is one of BOØWY’s signature masterpieces! The technical arpeggios in the intro still spark the competitive spirit of many guitarists today.

This track was re-cut as a single from the classic album “BEAT EMOTION” in April 1987.

It’s said that raising the key during recording is what made it such a profoundly moving song.

When you want to convey your unwavering feelings to someone important, this song will surely give you a push.
