Even though it’s tough to find words starting with “ro,” you’ll be surprised how many song titles there are!

In this article, we’ll introduce songs with titles that start with “ro.”

We’ve gathered a variety of tracks, from classic hits of the Showa and Heisei eras to popular anime theme songs.

“Yuri Danshi” Drama CD & Character Song CD PV 2 (with samples)
Lost In Lovin' YouHanadera Keisuke (CV: Fukuyama Jun)

It’s a geeky song themed around “yuri,” a term for friendships and romances between girls.

It’s a character song from Kurata Uso’s manga Yuri Danshi, sung by Jun Fukuyama, who played the protagonist Keisuke Hanadera in the drama CD.

It’s funny how serious the tone of the music is compared to what the lyrics are about… or maybe this burning passion is actually quite relatable.

I feel like there’s something that goes beyond labels like “because I’m an otaku.” This feeling people call “oshi” (to support or stan someone) might be exactly this, don’t you think?

Sung by Yu Serizawa, this track is an uptempo tune based on Eurobeat and serves as the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime MF Ghost.

The exhilarating sound, created in collaboration with MOTSU, depicts the release of free, untamed emotions and the pursuit of passionate love.

Set for release on October 30, 2024, the single will be available in three formats: CD+Blu-ray, CD+DVD, and CD only.

The long-awaited coupling track Kokuhaku (Confession) will also be included.

If you sing this song at karaoke, you’ll be able to boldly express your burning feelings.

Why not sing it in front of the guy you’re interested in and try to win his heart?

RobinsonKusano Masamune (Supittsu)

Masamune Kusano, as the frontman of Spitz, has long been at the forefront of Japan’s rock scene.

His lyrics often feel like a novel or a single unfolding story, leaving plenty of room for interpretation—one for every listener.

While the lyrics have a rich, nuanced flavor, many of the songs themselves carry a gentle, soft atmosphere, winning over a broad range of fans.

Be sure to pay attention to his clear, straight-reaching beautiful vocals as you listen.

Speaking of Yoko Oginome, her song “Dancing Hero,” famous for the Bubble-era dance craze, had a revival too, didn’t it? When you think of Roppongi during the bubble economy, it must have been incredibly lively.

Yoko Oginome is perfectly suited to sing a pure-hearted story set in that very Roppongi.

Her boyish look and glossy high notes are so cool.

With a voice that remains unchanged even now, Oginome is, for young people too, an ideal woman who makes you think, “I want to be an adult like her.”

It’s a song created as a commercial jingle for the Odakyu Romancecar, and I think many of you will find it familiar.

It has been performed by various musicians, but this video features the version sung by singer-songwriter Yoko Kuzuya.

It was released as a single in July 2007.

Lonely RhapsodyFuji Kaze

A unique piece that starts with a DAW metronome, “Lonely Rhapsody.” It’s a masterpiece with a refreshing track reminiscent of 1980s city pop, highlighted by soulful accents that occasionally use blue notes.

Since there aren’t sections where you need to belt, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

However, the falsetto that appears near the end of the chorus might be challenging for many.

If you can record at home, you might be able to compensate by boosting the high frequencies with an equalizer and applying a gentle touch of Auto-Tune.

Romantic, in a flirty/excited moodFujimoto Miki

Miki Fujimoto’s third single, released on September 4, 2002.

From the magical, glittering intro to the spell-like way the vocals begin, the atmosphere makes Fujimoto shine all the more like a goddess—it’s a beauty-cutie of a track.

Once the intro ends, the sound carries you all the way through with a bouncy, skippy rhythm and an irresistible beat.

The brand-new romance between the two feels like a scene from a drama—so cute and heartwarming! A sparkling love song through and through!
