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!”

A song with a warm atmosphere that gently nestles close to the listener’s heart.

Hoshino Gen’s gentle vocals and lyrics that capture small moments of everyday life are a perfect match.

It’s a track that showcases the unique sensibility of Hoshino Gen, who has drawn attention for his diverse talents since his solo debut in 2011.

Ideal for savoring quietly alone on a calm night or for spending peaceful time with someone special.

Recommended for anyone who wants to be enveloped in a tenderness that sinks into the heart.

I love the trumpet at the beginning of the song.

It made me realize there are surprisingly a lot of songs that feel like Japan’s national team.

They’re the most quintessentially Japanese—like a straight-laced version of a yankii (delinquent).

They look super cool, and I love the groove of the song, too.

Song of the Yoito-makeShigeru Izumiya

Shigeru Izumiya & Char (Live) The Song of Yoitomake
Yoitomake no Uta Izumiya Shigeru

Set against the backdrop of Japan’s period of rapid economic growth, this classic song depicts the growth and hope of a child from a poor construction worker’s family.

Written by Akihiro Miwa and later covered by Shigeru Izumiya, the song portrays a journey of overcoming social discrimination and prejudice, learning from the hardworking example of the child’s mother, and ultimately achieving success.

Released as a single by King Records in 1965, it became a major hit, selling 400,000 copies.

Izumiya’s cover, released in 1998, was also featured on Fuji TV’s “News JAPAN.” His powerful vocals and distinctive guitar playing vividly convey the song’s strength and sense of hope.

4 THE HARDWAY Shonan no Kaze

This is a track that captures Shonan no Kaze’s signature heat and intensity through rap.

In this once-in-a-lifetime journey, don’t sweat the small stuff—be earnest, enjoy it to the fullest, charge ahead with everything you’ve got, and live with a burning passion.

It’s a song that writes that spirit large.

The message and the way it’s delivered—something only Shonan no Kaze can convey—are truly compelling.

This is a track included on the 2012 album “Innocence in the Laundry.” I find the beat in the chorus—where the sense of speed suddenly stops—very interesting.

By the way, the sound of the Caribbean instrument, the steelpan, appears in the intro.

In 2012, a three-member group with an average age of 20 made their debut: Hayabusa.

Dressed in white suits, they perform enka, and their debut song is “Yokohama Yokorenbo.” The track is crafted to let listeners enjoy traditional, full-fledged kobushi-inflected harmonies.

Taeko Onuki’s song, which portrays the quiet feelings of a teenage girl who secretly nurses a crush on a classmate so ordinary she can’t even remember his name, has something universal that could make it a standard.

Just breathing the same air is enough to make you happy—that’s love, too, isn’t it?
