Shiritori しりとり

I'm not quite sure if this goes here or not, so if I placed it in the wrong section; sorry.  :oops:

I was playing this game in Japanese class with a few of my friends and thought it might be a fun idea for a thread.

For those who don't know, shiritori (しりとり) is a Japanese word game. First someone comes up with a word to start the game, for example sakura (さくら）. The next person takes the last letter/character and creates a new word with it, for example Rajio（ラジオ）. And so on and so on.

Example: sakura (さくら) → rajio (ラジオ) → onigiri (おにぎり) → risu (りす) → sumou (すもう)

Rules

1) Avoid words that end with ん. Once someone uses a word that ends with ん, game over. Reason being, no words begin with ん.

2) Let's limit this game to nouns only, verb and adjectives would complicate things too much (especially な adjectives).

3) For simplicity's sake, please write the word in hiragana, if you wish to include kanji as well, that's fine.

EDIT: 4) Also, please don't reuse any words. Just do a search for the word you want to post before you actually do. I can be a little lenient on this, just try not to use the word twice on the same page.

I ask that everyone just take a quick look at the rules before playing so the game runs smoother and so no one has to stop and correct each other. Well, that's about it, hopefully this'll be a fun game for Japanese learners new and experienced! ^_^

Alright, I guess I'll start. SHIRITORI しりとり
