Have you ever played “song-title shiritori,” where you’re only allowed to use song titles?

You connect the songs like in shiritori, and it gets exciting when you end up singing tracks you don’t usually pick.

So in this article, to give you a helpful nudge for those fun moments, I’ll introduce songs whose titles start with “pi.”

I hope you find it useful and have a great time!

Kaneyori Masaru’s ballad delivers unforgettable memories of love carried on gentle piano tones.

The true-to-life lyrics, woven through Chitose Mina’s emotionally rich vocals, pair perfectly with the piano melodies that melt into the band’s sound.

Its worldview—overlaying everyday scenes with memories of someone dear—will surely tug at many hearts.

Released in January 2022, the song was later included on their major-label first full album, “Watashi no Nocturne.” The anecdote that the composer played while crying from overwhelming emotion speaks to the song’s earnestness.

Whether you cherish a past love or savor your present happiness, this piece will quietly stay close to your heart.

Listen on a quiet night alone, and your own personal story may rise to the surface.

PicnicSato Hiroshi

This is a track by city pop maestro Hiroshi Sato, featuring soothing, floating synths and steel pan-like tones.

Urban and sophisticated yet somehow nostalgic, its melody feels like a calm moment spent in early-summer dappled sunlight.

The song was released in June 1988 as the B-side of the single “Seat For Two,” and it’s also included on the 1988 album “AQUA.” Doesn’t it express, with gentle sound, the tenderness of those ordinary moments spent with someone special?

Picnickiseru

Kicell – Picnic (Music Video)

Unlike the picnic you might imagine, this Kicell song carries a curious charm that somehow leaves you with a bittersweet feeling.

Contrary to its comfortably floating melody, it portrays moments when a sense of parting arrives unexpectedly, and the loneliness of knowing you might never see someone again.

Precisely because we know that joyful times aren’t eternal, they feel all the more precious, stirring a tender, sentimental emotion.

Released as a single in September 2001, the track features the rhythm section of Dry & Heavy, whose tight groove further elevates its dreamlike atmosphere.

It’s the kind of song that, when listened to alone during a quiet picnic or while swaying on a train lost in thought, can make even familiar scenery look a little different.

Set to a bright, energetic sound, this Choukyuumei track paints a perspective that questions the everyday assumptions hiding in daily life.

It’s included on the album “Ginga Mu-check,” released in June 2024, and was also used as the TV commercial song for Pasona’s “Awaji Island West Coast: Basuroshima” starting in July of the same year.

Contrasting with the cheerful scene of a picnic, the metaphorical lyric of a gingham-checked sheet bursting into tears may reflect an attachment to unfinished business or a heartfelt resolve to live fully in the present.

Listening to this song makes you notice the bittersweetness and tenderness concealed within ordinary scenery, reminding you that it’s not just about simple fun.

Under a blue sky, it might stir up an entirely different set of emotions.

PicnicMayo Okamoto

A picnic on a sun-drenched lawn with the one you love.

But your sweetheart beside you is fast asleep…

It’s the kind of heartwarming scene that brings a smile to your face—captured in a song by Mayo Okamoto.

This track is included on the classic million-selling album “Hello,” released in April 1998.

With whimsical, story-like touches—like a lizard suddenly appearing or a lively children’s chorus that seems to say “Wake up!”—the song’s cuteness is even more charming.

The protagonist’s laid-back mood blends with the bustling surroundings to create a blissful world that makes the listener feel happy too.

It’s perfect not only for a leisurely day off with your partner, but also for a lively picnic with friends—sure to bring a happy time.

P.S I miss youTakahashi Yoko

This is a gem of a ballad released in December 1991, marking the full-fledged solo debut of Yoko Takahashi, who would later gain immense acclaim for “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis.” It gives voice to the growing feelings for someone you long to see but cannot, and anyone who has experienced the heartache of a long-distance relationship will likely find it deeply moving.

The song was used as the image theme for the drama “Aitai Toki ni Anata wa Inai…” and later earned the Newcomer Award at the Japan Cable Radio Awards.

There’s also the memorable, unusual anecdote that the jacket photo wasn’t ready in time, so they used a picture of a wall clock instead.

On a quiet night when you can’t sleep as you think of someone dear, listening to this beautiful melody and vocal will surely offer gentle comfort to your heart.
