Lovely karaoke song

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!] (301–310)

OMAE (feat. Mukade & Inman)JAKEN

This song is a love ballad that sings more about caring for a loved one than material success.

Created through a collaboration with MUKADE and INMAN, it carries the message that symbols of wealth—like luxury cars, watches, and high-rise condos—are nothing more than extras without someone special by your side.

Released in October 2024 and produced by Lion Melo, the track runs about 3 minutes and 41 seconds.

It debuted at No.

10 on Billboard JAPAN’s Heatseekers Songs chart, marking JAKEN’s first-ever chart entry.

It’s recommended for those who feel that true happiness comes from the presence of a loved one, and for anyone who values human connection over material abundance.

Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.

Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
