Songs with titles starting with 'O' [Great for karaoke and shiritori!]
Last updated:

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!] (1–10)

OmoidamaNEW!Kanjani∞

Woven from roughly 6,000 phrases submitted by high school students across the country, and featuring a recording by a wind instrument ensemble of high schoolers chosen through auditions, this is truly a track imbued with the very warmth of the ballplayers.

Released in July 2014, it was selected as the “2014 ABC Summer High School Baseball Support Song” and as the theme song for Asahi Broadcasting/TV Asahi’s “Netto Koshien.” It was also included on the album “Kanjanism” and has since become one of the group’s signature songs.

The sound design overlaps with the cheers from the stands and the resonance of the brass band, and every listen sets a quiet heat glowing deep in your chest.

I can't become a princessNEW!Yuika

YUIKA, who first drew attention in 2021 with songs that took off on social media and recently released her first album “Yearning for Indigo” in June 2024, is still fresh in our minds.

Released digitally in February 2026, this new track was written as the ending theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “It’s Time for ‘Torture,’ Princess,” and its down-to-earth lyrics paired with a refreshing sound feel so good.

While longing for dazzling ideals, the lyrics also wish to learn to love one’s real self and everyday life—something that may warm the hearts of those feeling worn out by daily routines.

It’s a positive pop tune whose straightforward vocals give you energy for tomorrow.

With its funky rhythm and addictive melody, this track by Zutomayo is impossible to forget after just one listen! ACA-ne’s razor-sharp lyrics packed with wordplay and her edgy vocals pierce deep into the listener’s heart.

In fact, after its digital-only release in May 2020, this fan favorite was later included on the mini-album “Hogaraka na Hifu tote Fufuku” and the album “Gusare.” Even without a tie-in to a film or anything, its enduring popularity makes total sense given the quality.

The lyrics portray a heartfelt wish for the other person to understand one’s tangled emotions—almost like trying to decipher a difficult study guide.

Why not give it a listen as BGM to flip your motivation switch when you want to focus on studying or work?

I'm going to be a bride.NEW!Koresawa

This is a hidden-gem wedding song by Koresawa, a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture.

Known for resonating with many through numerous breakup songs, here she depicts the resolve to embark on the last love of one’s life and the down-to-earth anxieties about the shared life to come.

It’s moving, capturing a real bride’s feelings—not just simple happiness—set to a catchy pop melody.

The track is included on the album “To the You Who Chose Me and the You Who Didn’t,” released in March 2025.

During the live tour, she actually performed wearing a dress and veil, and the bouquet toss staging also became a hot topic.

It’s a song I want not only those about to get married, but everyone who wishes to stay forever with the one they love, to hear.

A song by the Vocaloid producer inuha, released in March 2024.

The lyrics charmingly present small fragments of everyday life—like running out of pepper or getting lost—as “notifications.” Within a soundscape where band instrumentation blends with electronic tones, Kazehiki β’s calmly delivered vocals resonate in a way that feels comforting.

There’s also a warm message about how meeting and talking with someone can make life feel more real.

It’s the kind of song that, when your heart feels a bit unsteady, will give you the strength to face forward.

A summery tune where laid-back raps from the duo glide comfortably over a tropical, languid beat.

The lyrics capture the bittersweetness of summer’s end and a faint flutter of romance, letting you sink into a sentimental mood just by listening.

Included on their first album “Halcali Bacon,” released in September 2003, this hidden gem managed to stay on the Oricon charts for 20 weeks despite never being released as a single.

The track produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka of Fantastic Plastic Machine is outstanding as well—no wonder it drew renewed attention, becoming a global viral hit on social media with dance videos from 2025 onward.

Give it a spin during a sunset drive or on a long night when you want to reminisce about summer, and let your body sway gently to the groove.
