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.

Endless SummerGanaha Mina

Mina Ganaha / Endless Summer [Music Video]
Endless SummerGanaha Mina

A true youth anthem that moved so many as the opening theme of TV Asahi’s “Netto Koshien” in the summer of 2002.

Mina Ganaha’s clear yet powerful vocals mirror the single-minded dedication of the ballplayers chasing the white ball, stirring the hearts of listeners.

Behind this song lies a dramatic real-life moment: Ganaha’s own younger brother hit a pinch-hit home run at the Spring Koshien in 2001, and that inspiration became a major driving force in creating the track.

Released in July 2002, it was later included on the album “momentum” and the best-of collection “Shoshin Wasurubekarazu.” It’s a cheer song for everyone chasing their dreams—and for you who want to feel the brilliance of that summer once again.

As you listen, you might find yourself wanting to shout “Soiya!”—that kind of vigor is part of its charm.
