Songs with titles that start with 'gi'

Are there any songs that come to mind with titles starting with “gi” (ぎ)? You might think there aren’t many songs that begin with a voiced consonant, but there are actually quite a few.

One easy category to think of is songs that start with “gitaa” (ギター, “guitar”)—there are many of those.

Besides that, there are plenty of famous tracks, and you’ll probably find yourself thinking, “Oh, that one too!” This list features songs whose titles start with ぎ.

It should come in handy for karaoke, word games like shiritori, and more.

Enjoy!

Songs with titles starting with 'Gi' (101–110)

give meKankaku Pierrot

It seems that, while everyone except vocalist Yokoyama was working on their first full album, “Iroiro Hitoiro,” they came up with something that sounded Western, so they created this track with a consciously “very Western” feel.

They’ve said they listened to Western music back in their middle school days, so they were able to enjoy making this song.

According to vocalist Yokoyama, they’d made similar tracks before, but this one is a step up in rank.

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!ABBA

ABBA – Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!ABBA

Even if you don’t know the title, you’ll probably go “Oh, that one!” when you hear the song.

It’s by the Swedish pop group ABBA and was released as a single in 1979.

The lyrics express the loneliness of spending an autumn night alone.

GiftAI

AI’s 2020 release “Gift” is a song I truly hope you’ll give to someone dear to you.

The warm message—“No matter where you are, I’m wishing you happiness”—resonates throughout the track and is deeply moving.

Some people marry and leave their hometowns.

At such times, while marriage is joyful, it can also feel lonely, and it’s natural to worry about how things will go.

Gifting this song then can help them feel connected despite the distance, making it a wonderfully thoughtful way to celebrate.

gingkoAYNIW TEPO

AYNIW TEPO is a band active mainly in Nara Prefecture.

Featuring synthesizers, guitars marked by spacious effects, and folk-inspired beats, they blend the soothing qualities of ambient music with a passionate, oriental allure.

On top of this instrumental foundation, Misato’s vocals resonate beautifully.

It’s rare to come across a band that crosses so many genres, but having such bands is precisely one of Nara’s distinctive traits!

GILA GILAAwich

Awich – GILA GILA feat. JP THE WAVY, YZERR (Prod. Chaki Zulu)
GILA GILAAwich

Characterized by powerful beats and bold lyrics, this track captivates with an addictive trap-based sound.

The lyrics, infused with the artist’s own experiences and ambition, deliver a confident message and a strong desire for success.

Released in March 2022 as the lead single from the major-label debut album “Queendom,” it garnered attention and peaked at No.

92 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

Many dancers also created original choreography to this song.

Its lyrics, depicting a luxurious lifestyle and the pursuit of lofty goals, inspire listeners to believe in their potential and take action.

The guitar is crying.B’z

Among the many ballads released by B’z, one of Japan’s premier rock duos, this is the standout track when it comes to portraying the unique relationship between the live stage and its fans.

Featured on their third album, “BREAK THROUGH,” released in February 1990, the song runs over six minutes, yet Takahiro Matsumoto’s soulful, weeping guitar and Koshi Inaba’s heartrending vocals blend beautifully.

Its innovative concept—of a musician on stage secretly harboring feelings for a woman in the audience—captured the hearts of many listeners and has earned the song a reputation as a hidden gem among fans.

For karaoke, it’s also recommended for first-time B’z challengers, as the vocal range is relatively restrained compared to Inaba’s usual high notes.

If you convey the pain of unrequited love with rich emotion over the relaxed tempo, the room is sure to be moved.

On the edge (chop)B’z

B’z is a solitary rock unit that has continued to take on new challenges while honing their own style since their debut.

Their 26th single, “Giri Giri Chop,” used as a theme song for the TV anime Detective Conan, features a driving shuffle beat and aggressive guitar sound that really gets your adrenaline pumping.

It’s perfect for blowing off steam, but be careful when singing it at karaoke—the very high notes and powerful vocals it demands can be tough.

For those in their 30s who grew up with the anime, this rock tune is guaranteed to get the crowd going.
