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” (41–50)

Sora Tomonari (TOMONARI SORA) – “Yoimatsuri – Evening Festival” [Story Video]
Evening FestivalTomonari Sora

Sora Tomonari is a male singer-songwriter who has earned enormous popularity for his music’s strong emphasis on world-building.

He has many classic songs, but this time I’d like to introduce a new track: Yoimatsuri (Twilight Festival).

Although falsetto appears frequently in this piece, the gap between the chest voice and falsetto is quite large, so the difficult low falsetto doesn’t show up much.

It’s not completely absent, but the phrases can be substituted with mixed voice, making the song overall easier to sing.

With its Japanese flair and a melody that weaves between minor and major modes, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!

Seeds of joyMrs. GREEN APPLE

This song was first unveiled as a secret track on the venue-limited mini-album “Introduction” on July 5, 2014, and later officially included on July 8, 2025, in the 10th anniversary best album “10,” making it a once-lost track! The melody line is gentle and sung with clear enunciation, so even beginners should find it easy to match the pitch bar.

For the verses (A-melody to B-melody), speak carefully and make sure your voice is firmly carried by the mic.

Also, the chorus kicks in around the 3-minute mark, and the overall energy ramps up significantly.

There should be ample opportunities to breathe between phrases, so take a solid breath for each phrase and use that air to project your voice as you exhale.

If you tense up, you’ll end up chest-breathing instead of using your diaphragm, which can make it uncomfortable—so stay calm and breathe steadily!

Blooming at nightHoshimachi Suisei

Believe it or not, this song appeared in the 2025 JOYSOUND rankings and is getting attention as an easy one to sing at karaoke! It’s a perfect fit for today’s theme.

Listening to it, the range isn’t too wide compared to other songs by Suisei Hoshimachi, and it sits mostly in the mid-range, so the pitch should be easy to catch.

The overall vocal range is G#3–E5.

At first glance that might seem “high,” but the top note E5 only appears once, at the very end of the chorus.

You don’t need to belt it in chest voice—hitting it cleanly in head voice feels great! Focus on breath support and try popping the note out with a quick, controlled attack.

It’s also a groovy track, so keep your body in the groove and sing carefully to avoid slipping out of rhythm.

Be sure to learn it!

Yosakoi enkaKaneda Tatsue

This is a local song in which Tatsue Kaneda—who took the world by storm with “Kagai no Haha”—sings the spirit of Tosa with passionate intensity.

Released in 2022, “Yosakoi Enka” is truly a song for Kochi, blending the driving energy of a festival with the distinctive pathos of enka.

Listen closely to the lyrics and you can almost picture a single-minded man, gazing out over the Pacific Ocean with pride in his hometown swelling in his chest.

Kaneda’s rich, folk-honed vocals align with the protagonist’s spirit and stir the listener’s soul.

Doesn’t it feel like a masterpiece you’ll want to hear again and again, distilling the heat of the Yosakoi Festival and the grandeur of Kochi’s natural beauty?

It exquisitely balances silence and excitement, beauty and unease, fully showcasing Teniwoha’s musical sensibilities.

It’s a track with a lively rhythm and a distinctive atmosphere that leaves a strong impression.

It likens thoughts swirling at night to a dancer, depicting the struggles and growth of people chasing their dreams.

The chorus phrase, “If I’m crying now, I want the me in a few minutes to be laughing,” really sticks with you.

Released in August 2012 as Sakanaction’s seventh single, it was used as the commercial song for Mode Gakuen.

It’s also included on the album “sakanaction,” released in March 2013.

This song encourages those who, while pursuing their dreams, experience setbacks yet try to keep moving forward.

It also works as dance music, making it perfect for when you want a change of pace.

The popular beauty group Wagakki Band has had many of their songs covered by enka singers and performers, and when they perform the popular “Yoshiwara Lament,” it becomes endlessly polished, sexy, and just right.

It’s stylish yet has an idol-like feel, resulting in a beautiful finish that exudes femininity.
