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.

Memories SakeNEW!Kobayashi Sachiko

Sachiko Kobayashi 50th Anniversary: Sachiko Kobayashi in Nippon Budokan ~Dream World~ “Omoide-zake (Memories and Sake)”
Memories SakeNEW!Kobayashi Sachiko

This is a signature enka single released on January 25, 1979, which became a massive hit selling over two million copies.

It ranked 3rd on Oricon’s year-end chart and won the Best Vocal Performance at the 21st Japan Record Awards, with its poignant lyrics about lingering feelings for a former lover resonating with listeners.

The section before the chorus sits quite low, so try to avoid a muffled tone.

Focus on diaphragmatic breathing and make sure you can use your breath steadily.

Inhaling through the nose won’t give you enough air, so take a big breath through your mouth and try projecting your voice as if slowly exhaling straight ahead.

It’s good to sing the chorus with added drive and momentum.
