Songs whose titles start with 'I'. Masterpieces that begin with 'I'.
I’m going to introduce songs with titles that start with “i” (the Japanese syllable pronounced ee)!
When you think of “i,” words like ichigo (strawberry), iruka (dolphin), and iro (color) come to mind, so it’s not a particularly tricky letter even in shiritori, right?
But what about when it comes to song titles?
Actually, there are plenty of songs whose titles start with “i”!
In this article, I’ve gathered a variety of Japanese songs—both old and new—whose titles begin with “i.”
You might even find some you listen to regularly.
Feel free to use this as a reference when playing song-title shiritori and the like!

Its grand worldview, themed around reincarnation, resonates as a message that conveys a strong will to face destiny.
It’s a track that will empower anyone striving to overcome hardship.
Irodori Stepruuto
This piece, produced by Root for the children’s TV show Oha Suta’s theme song, features lyrics co-written with TOKU and music co-composed with Matsu.
The track carries a positive message that cheers on children as they take steady steps toward their dreams.
Its refreshing pop sound and exhilarating, fast-paced melody feel great—listening in the morning really gives you energy.

On your marksaimyon
This is a song scheduled for digital release in July 2025, selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “The 19th Chart.” In an interview, Aimyon said, “It’s my first song at 30, and it also has the meaning of returning to my roots.” The tempo is very relaxed, with little pitch fluctuation, making it an easy key to sing.
If you want to return to your origins or make a fresh start, why not learn this song? Also, as the song progresses into the latter half, Aimyon’s singing shifts from falsetto to chest voice.
Even without consciously trying, I think you’ll naturally be drawn into the world of the song as you sing it.
In particular, the latter half of the final chorus is sung with great power.
As your emotions rise, it’s easy to tense up, so try singing while projecting your voice into the distance to avoid straining.

In the Backroomssyudou
This song is striking for its dark atmosphere, where feelings of entrapment and inner conflict swirl.
Created by syudou, it was selected as the ending theme for Episode 5 of Chainsaw Man in November 2022.

This aligns closely with Episode 5’s plot, where Denji and the others are trapped in a hotel, resulting in a highly compatible pairing with the series.
The track is also included on the 2023 album Rokotsu.
Give it a careful listen when you want to confront inner turmoil.
