Useful for song-title shiritori! Songs with titles that start with “ga”

I’ll introduce songs whose titles start with “ga.”

When it comes to words that begin with “ga,” examples include “glass” (garasu), “girl” (gāru), and “ganbaru” (to do one’s best).

There are actually plenty of songs that use such words in their titles, too.

“Ga” can be a bit tricky to come up with in word games like shiritori.

But with this article, you’ll be fine even if “ga” comes up in song-title shiritori!

Use this article as a reference and have fun with word games, karaoke, or creating a new playlist.

If you’re eating, please listen to this song “Gaki” after your meal.

If you play it while eating, you’ll feel sick and put your chopsticks down.

The lyrics are terrifying, and it’s a song that could be called the most grotesque in Japan.

The rock band performing it, Inugami Circus-dan (now Inugami Circus-dan with an alternate stylization), was formed in 1994 when the vocalist, Kyouko—who was a high school student at the time—recruited members through a pen-pal section in a manga magazine.

They’re still active today.

The group excels at creating songs that convey a palpable sense of fear.

‘Girl’ is said to be a song Qin Motohiro wrote about his own child.

The song ends with a declaration to the child, making it a perfect piece to give your little one on their first birthday.

Kenshi Yonezu, known for his smash hits “Lemon” and “KICK BACK,” is making waves with a new song chosen as the theme for the August 2024 film Last Mile.

The track centers on feelings of childhood loneliness and memories of not fitting in, carrying a message that “it’s okay to be broken.” It blends pop and alternative with experimental, electronic elements.

The music video, which resonates with the film’s story, has also been highly praised and leaves a strong impression on viewers.

The singer, Mariko Ashibe, has also been active as a TV program reporter and as a jazz singer.

Mother on the QuayKikuchi Akiko

Akiko Kikuchi’s “Mother on the Wharf” is a classic that sings of a mother’s heartrending feelings after the war.

The image of a mother standing on the pier day after day, waiting for her distant son to return, tightens the heart.

In the lyrics, which repeatedly cling to hope, the mother’s tenacity and despair are powerfully expressed.

Symbolizing the tragedy of war and the bonds of family, this song continues to be passed down and sung by many people even today.
