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” (421–430)

Song of the Yoito-makeMiwA Akihiro

A singer-songwriter who has been active in numerous fields—actor, stage director, TV personality, voice actor, commentator, narrator—and whose glamorous looks give them a unique presence: this is the fourth single by Akihiro Miwa.

The song was released under their former stage name, Akihiro Maruyama, and its arrangement, which blends power with a sense of melancholy, leaves a strong impression.

“Yoitomake” is an old call used on construction sites, and knowing its origin may give you a different image when you listen.

It’s a number that became a huge hit in the 1960s, made possible by Akihiro Miwa’s intense, almost fearsome vocal delivery and expressive power.

Cowardly Santashuuchishin

Shuchishin is a three-man male idol group formed as a project unit from the quiz variety show “Quiz! Hexagon II.” Their third and final single, “Yowamushi Santa” (Cowardly Santa), was used as the campaign song for Fuji TV’s event “HOT☆FANTASY ODAIBA 2008–2009” and became a big hit.

With lyrics that evoke the group’s character and a refreshing melody, the song likely stuck in the ears of many listeners at the time, transcending the bounds of a simple quiz-show project.

For men in their 30s—the generation that grew up with it—it’s a Christmas song you’ll want to gather three friends to sing.

Nightly, With Dignity – Itsuki Fujisue & Maki feat. Hatsune Miku [Official Music Video]

A rock-style Vocaloid track whose aggressive guitar, backed by strings and programmed sounds, becomes irresistibly catchy.

From the tight performance in the verse to the sweeping development in the pre-chorus, and a chorus packed with syncopation and driving momentum, the arrangement is a treat for rock lovers.

The melody flows beautifully through the rapidly shifting sections, and the dramatic song structure is so polished that you might forget you’re listening to a Vocaloid track.

If you listen to it on an autumn evening, this song evokes a nostalgic feeling.

It’s a Hatsune Miku track by Takahiro Nishijima, released in March 2023.

The lyrics, depicting a busy morning city and places filled with fond memories, are particularly striking.

Its gentle and calm tones offer quiet comfort to the listener.

When you feel like pausing in the midst of everyday life to face your past self, this work may give you a gentle push forward.

Please take your time and listen closely.

Swim through the nightNishijima Takahiro

The chic vibe of its city pop sound is absolutely incredible.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Takahiro Nishijima, known for his avant-garde musicality, released in 2018.

The rhythmical sonic palette with a touch of jazz is truly a pleasure to listen to.

The word choices in the lyrics are distinctive as well, and I’m overwhelmed by the depth of the world that Nishijima creates.

It’s perfect for a long autumn night when you want to really sink into the music.

Ideally, look up at a night sky where the moon and stars are beautifully twinkling as you listen.

If you’re looking for a classic, high-school-style coming-of-age love song, I think Nishizawa-san P’s “Yomosugara Kimi Omou” is the best.

It’s a song that sings of love over a fast tempo and cool guitars.

When you’re feeling down, I recommend singing this song to lift your spirits!
