Songs with titles that start with “Yo”

There are times when you unexpectedly need songs that start with a certain character.

For example, when you’re enjoying karaoke with restrictions, it’s hard to come up with songs on the spot, right?

So in this article, we’ll introduce songs whose titles start with “Yo.”

Not just for karaoke—you can also use this for games like brainstorming quizzes, where you see how many songs you can name and then sing the ones that come to mind.

They seem like they should be easy to think of but aren’t—here’s a lineup of songs that start with “Yu!”

Songs with titles starting with “Yo” (131–140)

Nocturneholo

A ballad composed mainly of acoustic instruments.

Its gently swaying triple meter and oriental-tinged melody lend it a touch of folk-music essence.

While “Holo” is generally associated with thunderous sound, slower and quieter songs like this are equally captivating.

Songs with titles beginning with 'Yo' (141–150)

Night busYosui Inoue

“Night Bus” is a song that truly makes you feel as if you’re traveling on an overnight bus.

Since it’s from Yosui Inoue’s younger days, it conjures the image of a young man filled with hope setting out on a journey.

I’d love to listen to it while actually riding a night bus.

This video kicks off with a shamisen solo, giving it that unmistakable live feel.

The shuffle groove combined with traditional Japanese instruments creates a richly unexplored soundscape.

The tight hits before the chorus—performed in perfect unison by such a large ensemble—make it clear just how high the level is on this track.

Yokai: Laughing and CryingFour-Star Ball

At first glance at the title you might think, “What on earth is this?” but if you read the lyrics carefully and listen, it runs deep.

The lines about how laughing a lot brings tears, and wondering if after crying a lot you can laugh—those really hit home.

Even though they’re a comic band, the way they have lyrics that pierce the heart is probably a big part of why they capture so many fans and don’t let go.

The intro is slow, and the opening vocals are seductively slow-tempo, but as it heads into the chorus, drums and trumpet suddenly come in and it shifts to an uptempo feel.

The chorus that goes “Sakura, sakura, hanabubuki” even makes me think it might be the original inspiration for “Senbonzakura.”

A song released during the UNICORN era, written and composed by Tamio Okuda.

It’s a rock ’n’ roll track highly praised by The Yellow Monkey’s Yoshii as well.

It’s one of my absolute favorites—easily in my top two among UNICORN’s songs.

It still gets the crowd fired up at live shows today.

Expectation (Gen Hoshino cover) — solo acoustic performance
Predicted Hoshino Gen

This debut single from Gen Hoshino has an irresistible, simple warmth that feels like a gentle companion.

The lyrics vividly portray the journey of carrying oneself through unpredictable days, along with the emotions and scenes encountered along the way.

Hoshino’s natural vocals pair exquisitely with lyrics that convey an acceptance of fate and an unforeseeable future, while still wishing for happiness.

Released in September 2011, this track showcases Hoshino’s musical talent and poetic expressiveness.

It’s a song to savor quietly, perfect for those moments when you just need a small push forward.
