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” (for karaoke and shiritori too!) (21–30)

This is a captivating song with a decadent yet beautiful worldview, where one dances nobly while holding on to a love on the verge of breaking.

Created by Nejishiki, it passionately portrays the intertwining voices of Yuzuki Yukari and IA as they sink into a sweet and dangerous romance.

The jazzy, glamorous sound arrangement is absolutely wonderful.

If you’re drawn to the push and pull of perilous love and mysterious relationships, you’ll surely find yourself deeply resonating with this worldview.

No PromiseChara

A song by Chara that portrays the aching feelings of a woman torn by a relationship without promises.

She longs to hold on to someone who seems about to leave, yet she can’t secure any promise for the future.

That inner conflict is delicately rendered in a whisper-like vocal.

Featured on the album “Soul Kiss,” released in July 1992, the song captures the frustration of being unable to stop loving someone—knowing it won’t be reciprocated, yet unable to let go—which perhaps only those who’ve experienced it can truly understand.

A love in which only one person suffers is something that, at some point, we probably ought to bring to an end.

Songs with titles starting with “No”/“No-” [Great for karaoke and shiritori!] (31–40)

NoraAimi Tanaka

The piece “Nora” is striking for its melancholy melody.

It’s a poignant, kayōkyoku-style song with a mood reminiscent of works by Sayuri Ishikawa or Junko Akimoto.

Despite that, among Aimi Tanaka’s songs, this one is actually one of the easiest to sing.

The biggest reason is the long notes.

In this piece, most of the long tones are “downers,” meaning they are sustained as the pitch falls.

As a result, there’s no need to belt, and it’s easier to keep the pitch stable.

It’s a deeply moving song that conjures up the image of a parent and child standing shoulder to shoulder.

A work by Hiroshi Kanamura, it was released in June 2025.

With lyrics by Chihiro Fuyuyu and music by Ryuzo Kimura, the piece tenderly sings of memories with one’s father and the warmth of sharing drinks together.

Its gentle melodic line, imbued with the traditional sentiment of enka, is another of its charms.

Many listeners will likely find themselves resonating with the bond between parent and child depicted here.

The song begins with a scale that steps up from A3, and if you can nail that very first note, I think you’ll be able to sing comfortably.

The piece overall has a structure where the pitch moves up and down, so try to sing by carefully capturing each note one by one.

There are a few long tones on the syllable “n,” which can easily cause tension, so try producing them lightly as if you’re humming.

At the end of the chorus there’s a section with many words, but if you’re careful to articulate each one, you should be able to keep your pitch steady.

Since it’s a relaxed 4/4, swaying your body as you sing may help your voice come out more naturally!

Noise cancellationMahiru

This R&B number gently wraps the pain of heartbreak and gives you the courage to look forward.

It’s a work by Mahiru, released for streaming in June 2025.

The mellow arrangement, the unflinchingly real lyrics, and Mahiru’s crystalline vocals come together to create something that can move you to tears.

It naturally makes you reflect on your own past loves.

On a night when your heart suddenly feels lonely, if you listen to this track, you just might see a new ray of hope.

Cursed PinkSugar grinding finished.

It’s a bittersweet Vocaloid song that portrays the struggle with self-esteem.

Created by Owari Saito, it was released in February 2025.

Beneath its pop sound, it weaves in a distinctive dark edge and a fantastical worldview.

It delicately depicts the inferiority that arises from comparing yourself to others and questions the “cuteness” society demands.

If you can’t quite find the courage to give a White Day return gift, this song might just sit with those slightly hesitant feelings.

Let it help you sort out your emotions—and go ahead and give that present.
