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.

The same starJungle Smile

Jungle Smile is a male-female duo formed in November 1994, known for catchy melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply.

They made their major debut in November 1996, releasing their first single on SPEEDSTAR RECORDS.

Since then, they have made their presence felt in the J-POP scene, expanding their reach by contributing to popular anime and commercials in 1998.

Winning the New Artist Award at the 1997 All Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards is a testament to the high regard for their musicality.

True to their name—which embodies the idea of never losing a gentle smile amid the bustle of the city—their warm, tender melodies and lyrics that depict everyday scenes continue to resonate with many listeners.

With refreshing, quintessentially J-POP melodies and songs woven from male-female harmonies, they are recommended for anyone seeking soothing, gentle music.

Over Flow(er)Noz.

Over Flow(er) / Noz. feat. Hatsune Miku
Over Flow(er)Noz.

It’s a heart-pounding message song created as the official theme for the “Hatsune Miku JAPAN LIVE TOUR 2025,” which will visit seven cities nationwide.

Composed by Vocaloid producer Noz., it was released in April 2025.

Miku’s clear, soaring vocals blend into the pop sound, resulting in a hopeful finish.

The lyrics, which speak of bonds with friends and hopes for the future, are truly wonderful.

It’s a heartwarming Vocaloid track we want to send to everyone living in the present!

MommyTendō Yoshimi

The song Okāchan is filled with respect for one’s mother.

Among Yoshimi Tendo’s songs, it’s known as one of the finest tearjerkers.

What makes this piece easy to sing is, above all, the minimal use of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).

Although it’s classic enka, the occurrences of kobushi are very few, and most of the ones that do appear are relatively easy.

The range is somewhat wide, and the chorus includes sustained long tones on the “n” sound, so be sure to choose a key that suits your voice.

Osaka RainTendō Yoshimi

Speaking of Yoshimi Tendo, works set in her hometown of Osaka are popular, aren’t they? Among them, the song I especially recommend as easy to sing is “Osaka Rain.” This piece features an impressive Latin-influenced sound and is classified as kayōkyoku (Japanese pop).

As such, it doesn’t include the complex vibrato and ornamentation typical of enka.

While the vocal range isn’t particularly narrow, it’s not especially wide either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably if you choose the right key.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Osaka… dreams, hope, and loveTendō Yoshimi

Speaking of Yoshimi Tendo, in addition to her emotionally rich songs, her works themed around her hometown of Osaka are also popular.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for its ease of singing is “Osaka…

Dreams, Hopes, and Love.” This piece is pure pop, with a gentle yet bright vocal line that doesn’t have many dramatic shifts.

Its vocal range is quite narrow for a Yoshimi Tendo song, so anyone with basic singing skills should be able to perform it without difficulty.
