[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] Collection of Songs With Titles Starting With “Mo” (201–210)
Monster Hide-and-SeekRihwa
Released in 2013 as Rihwa’s third single.
It was her first double A-side single, featuring a striking rock sound with a strong message.
The song likens the murky aspects of human nature to a monster, expressing inner conflict through its lyrics.
Delusion DRIVERSAKANAMON
This is a band formed by classmates from a vocational school.
They sing about the fantasies and daydreams of boys their age.
Their songs are down-to-earth and unpretentious, expressing their feelings just as they are.
By the way, the ramen shop mentioned in the lyrics of this song is a real place in the vocalist’s hometown of Miyazaki Prefecture.
MONSTER TREESHAKALABBITS
This is the sixth single by the rock band SHAKALABBITS, who gained popularity with their catchy pop-punk sound but announced the end of activities with their current lineup in 2022.
It’s a track that amps up the energy through the contrast between an aggressive, guitar-riff-driven rock sound and a strikingly cute, charismatic vocal.
The melody itself is simple, but without using a slightly gritty, rock-style vocal delivery, it’s hard to capture the original vibe—so beginner vocalists should study their vocal technique.
It’s a rock tune that’s fun for bands to play, with an ensemble that only an instrument-thrashing band can deliver, and it locks in nicely when performed together.
Delusional SummerSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO, a leading next-generation girls’ band, has lots of male fans who love their songs too! Their cute vocals and upbeat guitar rock feel refreshing and leave a great impression.
The lyrics of this song capture a woman’s feelings as she hopes to fall in love and have fun with her boyfriend this summer—and those lyrics are just irresistibly cute! If you ever get the chance to go to karaoke with a guy who likes bands, definitely give this song a try!
Like magicSHISHAMO
This song is packed tight with a girl’s desire to “become cute”—SHISHAMO’s “Like Magic.” It’s included on their 2017 album SHISHAMO 4 and was also used in a Townwork commercial.
It’s a track you can relate to, capturing the feelings of how girls care about even the tiniest details and work so hard, as well as the honest thoughts that slip out when we’re worried about dieting and our body shape.
Above all, listening to this song makes you think, “I’m going to work hard to become cute!”
IfSLOTH
A very heartrending love song woven only from the “what if” of lingering attachment.
Behind the lyrics that say, “If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have felt this sad,” I think there’s also a sense of gratitude: “Because I met you…” That may be why it leads to the hope of believing in a miracle and waiting for you afterward.
It’s a song packed with beautiful words.
Even reading just the lyrics conveys the aching sense of lingering regret.
Moter Man (Akihabara–Minami-Urawa)SUPER BELL”Z
It’s a spoken-style electronic track themed around a subway conductor.
It was a massive hit when today’s thirty-somethings were teenagers.
There’s virtually no melody, and if you’re good at impersonating the conductor’s announcements, it can blow the roof off at karaoke—an ultimate surprise weapon of a song.
