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!
