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.

Riho Furui is a female singer-songwriter whose catchy R&B has earned her widespread popularity.
Known for her wide musical range—from girly, cute tracks to sleek, stylish ones—her song “Ienai wa” is especially focused on that stylish vibe.

So women with lower voices might find it easier to follow and sing along with the lower line.
