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.

This song, the ending theme from the Pretty Cure series “Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!” that aired on Sunday mornings, has similar counterparts across three series under different titles.

I think the tempo, the overall vibe of the music, and the choreography are all quite laid-back, with a uniquely relaxed, mellow feel.

How about experiencing that easygoing mood live at the venue as a way to wrap up an exhausting year?
