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' (441–450)

night skyOnda Masanori

Singer-songwriter Masanori Onda rose to prominence after his self-recorded performance videos on TikTok drew attention.

In 2022, he released Yozora (Night Sky).

The song conveys the joy and gratitude of meeting a loved one, resonating deeply alongside his emotional vocals.

The gentle tones of piano and acoustic guitar soothe, as if tenderly embracing the loneliness and anxiety of parting.

This ballad gradually fills your heart with scenes and landscapes from happy days spent with a partner.

Why not listen to it on a sleepless night while gazing up at the night sky?

Some of you may have just gone through a change in your environment this spring and are feeling lonely or anxious.

For you, I recommend listening to Toshihide Baba’s “Yowai Mushi” (“Weak Bug”).

Its lyrics depict the frailty of people who look down on those weaker than themselves, as well as one’s own negativity.

As you listen, pay attention to what kind of mindset the narrator reaches after confronting these feelings.

By the way, the music video is also known for being created by the comedian Tekken.

Be sure to watch it alongside the song.

The slow-tempo ballad “Yokan,” sung by Yoko Takahashi, who made her solo debut as a ballad singer, perfectly matches her strengths—her vocal skill and expressive power—offering listeners a pleasantly soothing experience.

“Yokan” is included on the second original soundtrack of “Neon Genesis Evangelion: NEON GENESIS EVANGELION II” and was released in February 1996.

The song “Yoake Umarekururu Shoujo” was used as the first ending theme for the TV anime Shakugan no Shana and was released in October 2005 as Yoko Takahashi’s 18th single.

The piece has an interesting structure, developing from a solemn atmosphere reminiscent of a Mass hymn sung in church prayer into a more rhythmical tempo.

It’s a single released in 2009.

The overall tempo is relaxed, yet within it there’s a powerful strength that conveys the conviction embedded in the vocals—an epic rock ballad.

With the song’s theme being the beauty of Japan, the inclusion of seasonal imagery in the lyrics is particularly striking.

It’s a piece that evokes an intense emotion toward someone that cannot be discarded, and by layering it with depictions of the four seasons, it seems to express a feeling that persists throughout the year—so fervent it borders on frightening.

Beyond the nighttsuru

Tsurugi is a band that first catches your eye with their look: afro hair and glasses.

Their hairstyles are more conventional now, but many people probably remember the band because of that striking image (lol).

And the band name “Tsuru” is intriguing too, right? It’s said to come from their hometown, Tsurugashima City in Saitama Prefecture.

They’ve been active without any member changes, and their energetic songs have made them popular.

They also drew attention for providing the theme song to the live-action film adaptation of the popular manga Afro Tanaka.

A dance track featuring a collaboration between popular dancer Ririri and +α/Alfakyun with Yo-kai Watch.

Lots of yokai make an appearance.

It seems like a great song for farewell parties at kindergartens and elementary schools, where the anime is popular.

The simple and cute dance in the chorus looks like something both adults and children can enjoy together.
