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.

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!] (51–60)
Knock KnockPilafian
Pilaf Seijin is a rapper who draws attention—for better or worse—in the MC battle scene.
While he tends to attract a lot of haters in battles, his recorded music has been quite successful, racking up over a million plays, which is rare in hip-hop.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Knock Knock.” It’s delivered in a style that sits between rapping and singing, and it’s performed within a narrow vocal range throughout all parts.
It’s a big hit with teens and up, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
NoctilucaOrangestar
Orangestar’s “Noctiluca” layers vocals over a solid band sound.
It was released on YouTube and Niconico in 2022.
The melody rises from the B-melody into the chorus, and the overlapping section at the ending showcases striking high notes.
Orangestar’s wife, Natsuse, covered “Noctiluca” on her 2022 mini-album “Light in the Distance,” so be sure to give it a listen!
Noto PeninsulaSayuri Ishikawa
Following “Tsugaru Strait Winter Landscape” and “Amagi-goe,” Sayuri Ishikawa’s masterpiece “Noto Peninsula.” While this piece firmly carries the hallmarks of enka, it also features plenty of vocal lines closer to kayōkyoku.
In particular, the transition from the B section into the chorus has qualities reminiscent of 1970s kayōkyoku and pop ballads.
There are passages that use falsetto, so the range is somewhat wide; however, for a Sayuri Ishikawa song, the overall difficulty is relatively low because there are notably fewer kobushi (ornamental vocal turns).
If the early-chorus falsetto is difficult, I recommend lowering the key—or conversely, raising it slightly to make producing the falsetto easier.
Like a flower that blooms in the fieldDa Capo
A timeless song with a simple, gentle warmth brings a refreshing breath of spring that makes you want to hum along.
In words anyone can understand, it conveys the importance of living naturally, like flowers blooming in the fields.
Da Capo released this heart-touching piece in July 1983.
Beloved as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Naked General’s Travelogue,” its lyrics inspired many by giving courage to face life’s challenges.
Since 1992, the song has also been included in elementary school music textbooks, and it continues to be sung across generations.
Please enjoy this piece—one that evokes fond memories and the calm arrival of spring—together with older adults.

NotebookbuzzG
This is a moving Vocaloid song that portrays a protagonist bound by a mysterious book of prophecy, struggling against fate to carve out their own path.
Composed by buzzG and released in February 2012, it’s included on the album “Time machine films.” Its energetic rock sound and powerful rhythm harmonize perfectly with the song’s theme.
The chorus builds with rising emotion, gripping listeners and not letting go.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to believe in their potential and move forward—it will surely give you a push.
Non-breath ObligePinocchioP
This song sharply depicts the suffocating nature of modern society.
Created by the multi-creator PinocchioP, it was released in June 2021.
It’s characterized by breathless vocals and a delicate soundscape.
The lyrics explore themes like peer pressure and restrictions on individual freedom, resonating deeply with listeners.
In line with the theme, there are very few moments to breathe, making it quite difficult to sing!
NO TITLISTRie Miyazawa
Rie Miyazawa’s classic song “NO TITLIST.” Since Miyazawa is not primarily a singer by trade, most of her released tracks are organized around simple vocal lines.
This work is no exception, featuring a very easy progression that anyone can sing.
The structure, which steadily ramps up in energy, is striking, but once the chorus begins the excitement settles down.
As a result, the vocal range stays compact, making it a song that even women with lower voices can sing without any trouble.
