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' (271–280)

Youngja Kim is a Korean-born enka singer beloved by enka fans.

Rather than a trot singer, her appeal lies in her authentic enka vocals, and she has produced a string of classics thanks to her exceptional expressiveness and steady singing technique.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Yoiakari.

It’s solidly enka, but features relatively few kobushi (melismatic ornaments).

The range is somewhat wide, so try singing it while paying attention to key adjustment.

“Good DJ,” a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at live shows by the rock band Kyuso Nekokami.

With a four-on-the-floor dance beat, a fast tempo, and the kind of message that’s so characteristic of them, it’s a uniquely compelling track.

But above all, that DJ-play section might just be the strongest moment of all.

Evil Evil Evil vs. JusticeKyūso Nekokami

It was released in 2017 as a digital-only single by Kyuso Nekokami.

Serving as the theme song for the NHK General/BS Premium linked drama “Thrill! — Red Chapter / Black Chapter —,” it became Kyuso Nekokami’s first song written specifically for a drama.

Its powerful, immersive sound makes it a thoroughly satisfying listen.

Until the intoxication wears offkyū

Until the intoxication wears offkyū

A Vocaloid song that unfolds at a bar counter, its bittersweet longing tugging at the heart.

It’s a track by Q, released in August 2024.

With an electropop sound that seeps into the cracks of the heart, it portrays a protagonist wavering between reason and emotion.

The vocals—blending the rush of intoxication with the stirrings of love—are especially striking.

If you struggle to express your feelings honestly or carry unspoken emotions, you’ll surely relate.

Give it a listen!

Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Kingu Kurīmusōda

The first opening theme of the anime Yo-kai Watch, which influenced the world of children.

As the title suggests, it was created as an exercise dance.

In the promo video, the characters do the full routine, and it’s super cute.

Although the lyrics are aimed at elementary school kids, I think the catchy phrases will get adults excited too.

It might also be fun to dress up like yokai.

A karaoke song by Ketsumeishi that, despite its melodious track and catchy rap, delivers a sound rich in depth and body.

Renowned as a late-night favorite, it offers a breezy, wind-kissed feel that lifts your spirits.

Among people who aren’t familiar with rap, some may see it as aggressive, full of criticism toward society or others, and often tied to conflict—a negative image.

This song, “Yokuwarae,” overturns that perception.

I see it as an ambitious work by Ketsumeishi, who are always at the forefront of the rap scene.

While it evokes a certain nostalgia, it doesn’t rely solely on sentiment; this track has a musical comfort that stands on its own.

It’s a surefire song that will bring you a relaxed, genuine smile.
