Songs with titles that start with “Yo”

There are times when you unexpectedly need songs that start with a certain character.

For example, when you’re enjoying karaoke with restrictions, it’s hard to come up with songs on the spot, right?

So in this article, we’ll introduce songs whose titles start with “Yo.”

Not just for karaoke—you can also use this for games like brainstorming quizzes, where you see how many songs you can name and then sing the ones that come to mind.

They seem like they should be easy to think of but aren’t—here’s a lineup of songs that start with “Yu!”

Songs with titles starting with “Yo” (231–240)

Don’t drink too much—Yaaaah, bababa-bye!ano HUMPTY

Don't drink too much~ Yaaaah bababyyye~ Dance Instructional Video [That HUMPTY]
Don't drink too much—Yaaaah, bababa-bye!ano HUMPTY

This song became famous for featuring the former legendary hostess Kurumi Tachibana and over 100 other hostesses in its music video, and it’s also known for having its PV played on eight large outdoor screens in Shibuya, including the one at the Shibuya Station scramble crossing.

Since it has choreography, it seems like it would get insanely hyped if everyone danced and partied along.

It’s funny how after all that hype, it still throws in a “don’t drink too much.”

The next dayaburadako

Aburadako, known for their psychedelic hardcore punk sound and utterly bizarre vocals.

This is their song “Yokujitsu” (The Next Day).

Some people might think noise rock is something musicians without skill do, but that’s not true.

Even when it looks chaotic, it’s an art that works precisely because of technique and taste.

They’re a crazy rock band that’s hard to come across in the 2000s and beyond.

Ikimono-gakari is known for their energetic pop songs and heartrending ballads, but they also sing cool Latin numbers like this one.

It’s included on the album “FUN! FUN! FANFARE!” released in 2014.

The song portrays a forbidden love—reaching out even while knowing it’s wrong—and despite its relatively fast-paced arrangement, it feels heartbreaking to listen to.

The powerful vocals convey a sense of the female protagonist’s resolve, which makes it all the more wrenching.

Yo-kai Exercise No. 1 ~Continued~kaede☆

[Yo-kai Watch!] Ending Theme “Yo-kai Exercise No. 1 ~Continuation~”
Yo-kai Exercise No. 1 ~Continued~kaede☆

It’s the ending song of the smash-hit anime Yo-kai Watch.

Verses one, two, and three keep the comic lyrics rolling.

Questions like “Why am I sleepy in the morning?” and “Why was I able to eat bell peppers today of all days?” link together kid-relatable ‘totally true’ moments with a catchy rhythm.

The choreography is by Lucky Ikeda—simple, friendly moves that are easy to learn, even if they’re a bit nonsensical.

A singer-songwriter from Okinawa, Yo-Sea released this track in September 2024.

Its falsetto vocals over a beat influenced by UK garage are striking.

The song’s theme of “lightness” comes through in both the sound and the singing.

The music video was shot in Vietnam and features scenes of interacting with local children, whose warm presence further enhances the song’s appeal.

This piece feels like driving along the bayside highway—perfect for a change of pace or a refreshing reset.

Yokohama Yoko-Yokokaroujite ningen

The sudden developments feel just like the sound of 2000s Japanese music, making it irresistible for fans of reverb-heavy styles.

It’s so addictive you’ll find yourself listening two or three times in a row—before you know it, it’s on repeat.

You might not be able to stop.

A song I’d recommend for expressing hatred is “When Dawn Breaks.” You’ve probably had painful or sad experiences that left you resenting someone, haven’t you? The song captures those murky, pent-up feelings with nowhere to go, as well as the emptiness of retaliation.

It’s a much heavier theme than the title suggests.

Coupled with vocalist Chiahi Sato’s deep tones, it’s incredibly compelling to listen to.

By the way, some of the lyrics are sometimes rearranged in live performances.
