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!”

This is the 24th single by the female idol group Nogizaka46, released in September 2019.

Rather than a relentlessly cheerful idol song, its charm lies in a melody that carries a touch of wistfulness.

Still, as an idol song, you don’t need any special vocal skills to sing it at karaoke! It’s an easy-to-hum, approachable tune, so get your friends together and have fun singing it.

Its upbeat, catchy tempo also makes it a great pick for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s a song about entering high school inspired by a senior you admire and, amid all kinds of inner conflicts, reaching for light and dreams in student life.

It offers encouraging words like “It’s okay to be yourself” and “Forge ahead on your own path.” The transparent, clear vocals really stand out above the rest.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to while feeling the wind.

This is a nighttime ballad by the accomplished male singer Toshinobu Kubota.

It describes the city at night as a safari park, creating a more adult atmosphere.

While he has many funky tracks, he also excels at songs that evoke cheek-to-cheek time from the disco era.

[My Neighbor Totoro] You Were Lucky (3Vn) Violin × Ghibli

This piece expresses the Totoro theme song with a lighter, more playful tempo.

Titled “So Glad,” this joyful song is a delightfully buoyant arrangement even within My Neighbor Totoro.

It’s a cheerful, fun track that everyone can enjoy—even those who haven’t seen the film yet—from small children to adults, and even grandparents.

Night is comingHisaishi Joe

One of the tracks included on the “Spirited Away Image Album” is “Night Is Coming.” Its melody has a distinctly eerie quality, and some listeners might even find it a bit scary.

Judging from the title, “night” might still carry a somewhat frightening image for children around Chihiro’s age.

Even within that sense of fear, the piece shines with taste and artistry—an unmistakable Joe Hisaishi composition.

This is the song used in the scene where Haku—the first person Chihiro meets and gradually opens her heart to—comes to speak with her while she’s hiding.

The arrangement begins gently, with a sense of kindness, and gradually becomes more dynamic, enhancing the atmosphere of the scene.

It may not be a particularly prominent moment, but Haku fans will definitely want to pay close attention.

The God Warrior is an artificial lifeform, said in legend to have once burned the world, which Kushana seized from the city of Pejite to burn away the Sea of Corruption.

Its resurrection failed because it was revived too soon; its lower body rotted away, and it couldn’t even stand.

The piece of music used in the resurrection scene is “Resurrected God Warrior.” In the end, its entire body decays and it is reduced to bones.
