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

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.

Goodbye to the lingering scent, Veronica.

Formed in June 2023 after meeting through a Okayama University club, the indie band “Veronica ni Sayonara” is gaining attention for its colorful sound, grounded in J-POP and ROCK while incorporating elements of city pop.

They released their first digital single, “mokusei,” in July 2024, and their track “Nokoriga” was selected for power play on five FM radio stations.

The story-like lyricism woven by vocalist YunD Yun and the technically sophisticated compositions featuring irregular time signatures suggest a talent poised for a major breakthrough.

Many music fans are likely keeping a close eye on their trajectory.

They’re a promising rock band that shines with the brilliance of a new talent taking flight from Okayama.

Yorushika, known for their literary messaging and sound that vividly evokes their unique world, have gained widespread popularity.

This song, included at the end of the concept album “Elma” released in August 2019, is a pivotal number that brings the story carried over from the previous work to its conclusion.

Like awakening from a deep sleep to greet the dawn, it portrays a resolve to part with the past, rise again, and set out on one’s own.

It’s a bittersweet yet powerful track that gently gives you a push forward when you’re ready to take a first step.

Non Non NosshiiDreaming

This is a heartwarming insert song from the 1996 film “Go! Anpanman: Nossy the Dinosaur’s Big Adventure.” It’s an adorable tune that expresses fondness for the dinosaur character, Nossy-kun.

The repeated phrases make it fun and easy for kids to mimic.

The song is included on the album “Go! Anpanman: Nossy the Dinosaur’s Big Adventure,” released in August 1996.

How about humming along with your child while watching the movie again?

Kayoko Yoshizawa who remains

Opening with a wistful melody that evokes the end of summer, this piece is one of singer-songwriter Kayoko Yoshizawa’s signature songs.

The languid feelings of the morning after a night spent with a lover—where exhilaration and guilt mingle—are spun out in literary language.

Her slightly languorous yet gentle voice further accentuates the bittersweet mood.

Released as a single in October 2017, the track was also selected as a “POWER PLAY” on Nippon TV’s Buzz Rhythm.

It was later included on the album Actress Sisters.

It’s a recommended listen for nights when you want to reminisce about a summer romance that has passed, or when you’d like to quietly sink into your thoughts alone.

NOT FOUNDMr.Children

At the time of its release, the masterpiece “NOT FOUND,” touted as Mr.

Children’s greatest work, drew a lot of attention.

While the chest voice sits in a slightly higher range of mid1 C# to hi A, it still falls within a generally standard vocal range.

The falsetto reaches hi C#, and since it appears in every chorus, you should pay particular attention to it.

Aside from being a bit on the high side, the main challenges are the falsetto in the chorus and the long sustained notes, so although it’s difficult, you should be able to tackle it if you focus on the key points.

Life can feel overwhelming, full of absurdities and helpless moments.

In times like these, I hope you’ll listen to Ken Hirai’s 42nd single.

Written as the theme song for the drama “Little Giant,” it was released in June 2017.

Born from Hirai’s profound grief over losing a friend, the song delivers fundamental questions about life and a heartfelt cry to see a loved one again, piercing the heart with a voice that cuts deep.

You may find it impossible to listen without tears…

Phantom Theta, an idol group drawing attention for their outlandish worldview.

Their seventh digital single, released in August 2025, is a piece produced by Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi.

The high-speed sound stokes a sense of fear, creating an intense, chaotic atmosphere.

The urgency and negative emotions trapped within the track evoke entirely different stories depending on the listener.

It’s a thrilling, avant-garde song that’s quintessentially them.
