Songs with titles that start with “Chi.” Useful as hints for word-chain games!

Karaoke shiritori, where you connect the last character of a song you sing to the first character of the next song, and title-only shiritori, where you play using just song titles—both are fun games that use music, aren’t they?

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of songs that start with “chi” so you can use them as a reference for shiritori karaoke and song-title shiritori.

When you think of words that start with “chi,” examples include “chokorēto” (chocolate), “chīsana” (small/little), and “cherī” (cherry).

Seeing these words might bring a few song titles to mind, right?

We’ve selected popular songs across eras, genres, and genders, so if there’s one you think you can sing, definitely give it a try!

Chasing ShadowsASYLUM

It’s a song that depicts a sense of urgency and emptiness, like relentlessly chasing a shadow that stretches on forever.

Over a hard, tight beat, Gazelle’s vocals—both the purely aesthetic singing and the morose shouts—leave a powerful impression.

This worldview, where punk’s raw impulse coexists with a decadent beauty, may well have been the source of what later came to be called the visual-kei scene.

The track is included on the album Crystal Days, released in June 1987, which was so popular it topped Japan’s indie charts at the time.

If you listen to it while grappling with a nebulous anxiety about the future, its searing passion will pierce straight into your heart.

A small poemMARIA

A powerful debut track where heartfelt cries ring out over a lively rock sound.

Debuting at No.

10 on the Oricon charts, it clearly shows how much attention it drew at the time.
