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.

A Seeker of MemoriesSumi

This is a labor-of-love work released by Sumi in April 2025 from Wing Japan, with lyrics by Ryuichi Satomura, music by Akihiro Otani, and arrangement by Yasuomi Suo.

Blending a dazzling melody with Sumi’s rich expressiveness, the piece evokes a cinematic sense of storytelling.

You can vividly picture the heartrending scene of waiting for someone who is no longer there—it really seeps into your heart.

True to necchi’s roots in game music, you can enjoy shape-shifting sonic transitions.

The narrative quality of the lyrics, imbued with loneliness and solitude, is beautifully balanced with Murai’s clear, transparent vocals.

It leaves you unable to stop thinking about what lies ahead for the oni child.

ALL I WANTHirate Yurina

Yurina Hirate’s hit song “ALL I WANT.” Among her recent releases, this track has been a particularly big success, so I imagine many people discovered her solo work through this song.

The melody has a slightly Heisei-era feel, and the rap-like vocal parts especially evoke artists like Kana Nishino and Miliyah Kato from the 2010s.

Because there are relatively few rests, the breathing can be a bit tricky, but the range is low and the melodic movement is gentle, making it a song that’s definitely easy to score highly on.

A supreme ballad woven from majestic strings and a bluesy melody.

Released in November 2015, this song was chosen as the first cour ending theme for Season 1 of the popular anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, marking MISIA’s first-ever anime tie-in.
