[Karaoke] A Collection of Songs Whose Titles Start with 'Mo'
At karaoke, people sometimes set various rules, like singing songs by the same artist or choosing based on song titles.
One fun idea is to pick a letter from the Japanese syllabary and sing “songs that start with ___.”
In this article, we’ll introduce a selection of songs that start with “mo,” so feel free to use this as a reference for your next karaoke session.
Many of these tracks feature sentimental words like “moshi” (if) and “mou” (already/no longer), so it can be nice to think about the lyrics’ meaning or imagine the story as you sing.
Be sure to check out these “mo”-starting songs by artists who’ve been active from the Showa era through Heisei and into Reiwa.
[Karaoke] A roundup of songs with titles that start with “Mo” (1–10)
♡Pink Unrequited Love♡ feat. GorieNEW!Girls²
Girls² covered the classic hit that Aya Matsuura sang to great success in 2002, collaborating with Gorie, played by Gori of Garage Sale.
It was released digitally in August 2025 and also included on the EP “New Era.” Centered on a pink, Heisei-retro theme, this work is a quintessential idol song that adorably captures the flutter of unrequited love.
While keeping Tsunku’s memorable phrases and the brisk 8-beat intact, it’s been updated for today with Girls²’s dance skills and bright harmonies.
The choreography is cute and easy to learn, making it perfect for livening up company year-end or New Year parties!
MonsterNEW!Da-iCE
A digital-only track by Da-iCE that fuses heavy dance music with vocals from all members.
Released on October 22, 2025, the song was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded, based on the smartphone game.
Produced by Tōru Iwaoka and Hayate Wada, it delivers an aggressive sound that blends J-pop with elements of hip-hop and electro.
It’s a track that combines tension and groove, perfect for an anime opening.
Moo！NEW!Pimm’s
A danceable rock number that makes your heart skip, released by Pimm’s in April 2019.
The lyrics were written by Koji Uehara and the music and arrangement by Hidetoshi Nishihara.
Sharp-edged guitar riffs and a driving beat blend perfectly with an idol-like delicacy.
The lyrics use light, witty metaphors to depict the swell of a mature crush and a sense of self-liberation—resonating, perhaps, with young people of the time who were eager to act a bit older.
It was also played over in-store broadcasts at convenience stores, so some may remember catching it while shopping.
With an irresistibly catchy chorus that makes you want to sing along, it’s a pop tune perfect for a drive with friends or the walk home after school.
What If StoryNEW!Tani Yuuki
Tani Yuuki’s song “Moshimo Monogatari,” known as the ending theme for the long-beloved classic anime Doraemon, has the gentle warmth you’d expect from a Doraemon track.
Its range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide, but the overall tessitura is high, so you’ll need mixed voice to sing it in the original key.
That said, it’s not an especially difficult song, making it highly recommended as practice material for developing your mixed voice.
Sighting! Teto XXXI 🎉🎃🧟NEW!Harokeru
This is a party number by Harokeru, released on Halloween day in October 2025.
It’s a fun track featuring playful call-and-response between VoiSona Amagasa and Synthesizer V Kasane Teto, packed with riddle-style prompts, shout-backs, and catchy English phrases.
The music video’s homages to Lupin the Third, UNDERTALE, and VTuber culture are also highlights.
Recommended if you’re looking for something bright and upbeat.
Cotton HandkerchiefNEW!Hiromi Ohta
Woven from Takashi Matsumoto’s poetic lyrics and Kyohei Tsutsumi’s sophisticated melody, this work tells a heartrending long-distance love story in the form of exchanged letters between a man who has set off for the big city and the woman waiting in their hometown.
With each dialogue, the growing gap between the man, increasingly colored by urban glamour, and the woman, who longs for unchanging love, becomes more vivid.
In the final image of the woman asking for a simple handkerchief to wipe away her tears, one feels a purity that values emotional connection over material wealth—truly moving.
Released in December 1975 as Hiromi Ohta’s fourth single, it became a major hit, ranking 4th on Oricon’s year-end chart.
Recommended for those in a long-distance relationship or anyone wishing to savor the ache of missed connections.
Peach-Colored Unrequited LoveNEW!Aya Matsuura
Released in February 2002 as Aya Matsuura’s fifth single, this song was featured in Shiseido’s “Tissera Mune-Kyun Peach” commercial, which also drew attention for Matsuura’s own appearance.
It peaked at No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, sold over 220,000 copies, and was included on the album T.
W.
O.
The lyrics liken the flutter of unrequited love to a peach-pink hue, and the bouncy melody that kicks off with a shouted call is instantly memorable—just listening to it lifts your spirits.
It’s the perfect track for getting hyped at karaoke with friends after school or for those heart-pounding moments when you’re nursing a crush.
