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

Songs with titles that start with “Chi.” Great as hints for word-chain games! (1–10)
ultra-strongestNEW!Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu
A track that racked up an astonishing total of over 300 million views on TikTok, included on the December 2024 album Tokimeki Rule Book.
Sung by Cho Tokimeki♡Sendenbu, the song’s lyrics stand out for being written to those who like you for who you are and to fans who support you as their “oshi.” The straightforward expressions of feeling—“Tell me I’m cute more,” “Cheer me on more”—come across as endearing and make you want to root for them.
Set to a bright, poppy melody, the lyrics blend self-affirmation with a sense of adorable charm.
CHAINNEW!BIGMAMA
Included on the 2007 album “Love and Leave,” this track also appears on the 2017 best-of compilation “BESTMAMA” as a signature piece from BIGMAMA’s early period.
It’s a beautiful work where grand strings meet a rock sound.
The lyrics, portraying human connections and the causality of cause and effect, leave a deep impression on listeners.
With melodies that wear their emotions on their sleeve, it’s a song that lets you fully savor BIGMAMA’s distinctive style.
Geography | Nowhere Now hereNEW!BIGMAMA
This piece is included on the album “Tokyo Emotional Gakuen,” released in October 2023.
With the concept of “Youth is emo,” each track is titled after a school subject, and this song is placed as the eighth track.
It unfolds a progressive and emotional sound.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics, which wander in uncertainty about where one is headed.
It’s a track that condenses the essence of BIGMAMA, where intensity and lyricism intersect.
CHAINSAW BLOODNEW!Vaundy
This piece, chosen as the ending theme for Episode 1 of Chainsaw Man, is a song that Vaundy—who has read the original manga many times—created with deep respect for its world.
Upon its release in October 2022, it became a hit, surpassing 100 million streams.
Its sound—featuring a weighty rhythm section, compressed bass, and a pop-leaning melody coexisting within a dark atmosphere—brilliantly captures the work’s themes of destruction and impulse.
The sonic impact that unfolds from the spoken-like phrases in the interlude is overwhelming.
It’s a track I’d recommend not only to anime fans but also to anyone who enjoys modern rock sounds.
ChangesNEW!Hi-STANDARD
This song is a reconstruction of the legendary ballad created by the iconic heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
While preserving the melancholic yet beautiful melody of the original, the addition of distorted guitars and an urgent beat imbues it with a palpable strength amid the sadness.
Released in June 1999, it is included on the landmark album MAKING THE ROAD, which sold over 650,000 copies.
The song portrays the deep sorrow of a man whose beloved woman has left him, alongside his helpless attempt to accept the change in their relationship—its raw emotional expression is truly heart-wrenching.
It’s a track that gently stays by your side on nights weighed down by an overwhelming sense of loss.
Small SongNEW!JUJU
JUJU made her full-fledged debut in 2009.
For many women in their 40s, “Yasashisa de Afureru You ni” might be their youth anthem.
JUJU released “Chiisana Uta” in September 2025.
It has a very calm vibe, so once you learn the melody, it’s easy for anyone to sing.
The overall vocal range is G#3 to C#5, and since it’s not a song that requires belting, it’s reassuring for those who struggle with high notes.
If you place each word carefully as you sing, you won’t rush the rhythm.
Singing as if you’re speaking to someone also helps you keep the rhythm, so it’s recommended! For parts that feel a bit high, use plenty of breath and lightly sing with the image of resonating in your head.
Also, the key changes in the last chorus and the range goes up, so don’t push it—getting comfortable using falsetto there will make it easier to sing.
CHE.R.RYNEW!YUI
One of YUI’s signature songs, “CHE.
R.
RY,” has reportedly achieved a million downloads.
As it was also used in a KDDI commercial, exchanges via mobile phones serve as a motif in the lyrics.
Listening through the track, the A and B sections lean fairly low, and the pitch rises a bit in the chorus.
Some people may find the low notes challenging, but the high notes in the chorus fall within a range that can be sung smoothly.
It’s not a song where you belt, so a light delivery with a gentle side-to-side sway fits the vibe.
Instead of singing loudly, try aiming upward and singing lightly with a falsetto-like tone.
