- "That hugely famous song will be enjoyed in pop'n; yippee!"
- ―Music Comment[1]
CHIKARA (チカラ?) is a song that originally debuted in GUITARFREAKS 9th MIX and drummania 8th MIX. The song was then transplanted to pop'n music 10 as a crossover song via the ee'MALL 2nd avenue service. It was available to obtain in both pop'n 10 and 11 for a limited time from April 14 to April 26, 2004, before being added to them one day later. In the console release of pop'n music 10, however, チカラ is one of the songs that can be unlocked via the Ohoshisama ni Onegai! (お星様にお願い！?) unlock system.
チカラ was one of the downloadable songs to be bundled inside the fourth set of DLC for pop'n music portable 2.

未知の不安や今の不満を誰もが抱え その思いを分かち合える大事な人がいる？ 過去を受け止めて信じるチカラ今持ってほしい！ いつだって側にいるから！ どんなに長い道だっていつかはたどりつけるんだ 少しの勇気が僕らを動かす 遠回りしたっていい 一緒にあの彼方まで… ずっと負けない心 堅い意志胸に抱き 僕らは明日へと進む 見えないチカラが変えてく 消えない未来へ… 立ち向かう強さ持って 一緒に乗り越えていこう！ Let's go!! Let's go!! Let's go!!

The future fears and the present complaints is held in the arms of everyone Is there an important person who can share the feelings? The power to take the past and believe in it, I want to have right now! I'll always be by your side! However long the road is, we'll struggle along it and someday we'll get there Just a little bit of courage will move us It's fine to go the long way We'll be together, until we reach the other side... Forever undefeated spirits, clutching our firm wills against our chests, We'll head towards tomorrow An invisible power changes us Towards our everlasting future... We'll fight with all our strength We'll cross the rainbow that passes over tomorrow Together, let's overcome this! Let's go!! Let's go!! Let's go!!
