Songs with titles starting with “No” (Perfect for karaoke and shiritori!)

You probably can’t immediately think of many song titles that start with “no,” can you?

There are relatively many words you don’t often hear in everyday life, and lots of them have English titles.

Things like “Nobody…,” “Note,” “NOT…,” and so on.

There are also memorable masterpiece tracks that symbolize the artists themselves.

I’ve put together a list of song titles that might be useful when you want to look something up—just a bit…!

Feel free to use it not only when you’re curious about what songs start with “no,” but also as a prompt for shiritori word games or when choosing songs at karaoke.

Songs with Titles Starting with “No” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (181–190)

NON TiE-UPBiSH

BiSH / NON TiE-UP[OFFICIAL VIDEO]
NON TiE-UPBiSH

A track marked by strikingly extreme and provocative lyrics.

It carries a resolve to break free from society’s frameworks and pursue one’s own believed path.

Guerrilla-released in June 2018, it was later included on the albums “CARROTS and STiCKS” and “FOR LiVE -BiSH BEST-.” This song showcases BiSH’s aggressive side in full force, and its title—playing on the fact that it has no tie-in—also drew attention.

It’s a great pick when you want to fire up the crowd at karaoke.

The piece powerfully expresses a thirst for freedom and a desire to be liberated from society’s quotas, sure to resonate with listeners.

“NO DOUBT,” the title track from the album released in 1999, twenty years after their debut.

Used in an NEC commercial, this song is ostensibly about parting, yet it carries a nostalgic and forward-looking feel.

In fact, this was the first album the duo self-produced and worked on collaboratively, so that influence may be evident.

The backing instrumentation has a rich, full sound, so even when you sing it at karaoke, it should feel as satisfying as performing on stage.

The 30th single by CHAGE and ASKA, released on October 10, 1992.

The piano, which unfolds like a fresh, expanding space, and the interwoven vocals further open that space endlessly, revealing a beautiful scene like a clear sky after the rain.

It’s a sweet and gentle love song that evokes kindness and warmth, set in a poetic world where a crush becomes love and love is nurtured, likening flowers to affection.

As wild strawberries sway, by CHAGE and ASKA

Included on the 15th album “GUYS,” the song “As Wild Strawberries Sway” was used the following year, in 1993, as a theme for a Japan Airlines image commercial.

The lyrics, said to be written to the artist’s future self under the theme of “looking back on the past,” are likely to resonate with many listeners who see themselves in them.

The relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing calmly, but be careful with the occasional melodic leaps, which can cause pitch inaccuracies.

Also, if you don’t stay mindful of the bouncy feel of the shuffle beat, the mood can change, so in karaoke, be sure to listen closely to the ensemble as you sing.

No. 2CHIHIRO

Many people can probably relate to the feeling of “hating it unless I’m number one.” This song by CHIHIRO, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka Prefecture, is included on her 2019 album My Love Is Made of Tears.

With a sound rooted in R&B and hip-hop, it has a cool finish, and it pairs perfectly with CHIHIRO’s earnest, heartfelt vocals.

It’s ideal for when you want to finally cut ties with your ex.

This is a song used as the opening theme for the anime After the Rain, which centers on a romance with a significant age gap between a high school girl and a middle-aged man.

It’s a track by the creator unit HoneyWorks featuring vocalist CHiCO, released in 2018 as their eighth single.

The balance between the very catchy sound and CHiCO’s buoyant, bouncy vocals is superb.

Listening to it makes your heart feel light.

It might especially resonate with students in love.

No GoodbyeCRCK/LCKS

CRCK/LCKS (Crack Lacks) 'No Goodbye' MV
No GoodbyeCRCK/LCKS

The appeal of the five-piece band CRCK/LCKS lies in their unique atmosphere—something unlike anything I’ve heard before—born from the fusion of overwhelmingly expressive vocals and highly technical performance.

Led by Ryo Konishi, who studied music in the United States, the band exudes a one-of-a-kind sense in both rhythm and melody.

The drummer’s groove, in particular, is incredibly cool.

It makes you want to go to a show and hear them live.
