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!

This gentle, unhurried waltz titled “Chihiro’s Waltz” is likely a deeply memorable piece for anyone who has seen the film.

It is used in the scene where Haku remembers his own name and returns with Chihiro to Yubaba.

Among the film’s climactic moments, it is a cherished masterpiece that elevates one of the most moving, unforgettable scenes.

Included in the image song collection for My Neighbor Totoro is this track, “A Small Photograph.” Its warm and beautiful melody—so quintessentially Ghibli—was composed by Joe Hisaishi.

Totoro fans may already be familiar with it.

The lyrics, sung while recalling the mother’s own childhood—around Satsuki and Mei’s age, perhaps—are deeply moving.

fatherKyūshūdan

Kyu-Shu Danji’s song “Chichioya” (Father) is a track with a profound message that portrays the complex relationship between father and child.

It was released in November 2010 as part of the mini-album “±1.” The pain of losing a father in childhood and the growing understanding of him that comes with maturity are particularly striking.

How about giving it as a Father’s Day gift, filled with the “thank you” that’s hard to put into words? If you listen to it together as parent and child, it will surely help you reaffirm your bond.

A gigantic dragon is targeting you.nijou

It’s a Vocaloid track that unfolds a unique world and stirs the heart.

Released by Nijo in 2022, this piece debuted at VocaColle 2022 Autumn and captured the hearts of many listeners.

At its core is the protagonist’s feeling when facing an extraordinary situation, singing, “I’ll protect you.” Wrapped tightly within that vow to protect is the desperate wish: “So please never leave me.” The sound, infused with elements of funky music, and the MV that blends animation with live-action—everything comes together as a highly sophisticated number.

The third single by the folk group The Five Red Balloons, who emerged during the dawn of Japanese folk.

It is a song that wishes for peace, but its expressive power is so strong that it leaves you feeling terribly depressed.

It’s an exceptionally heavy and dark folk song.
