Lovely karaoke song

[J-Pop] Short popular tracks around one minute. Includes quick, hype-inducing novelty songs.

A slightly offbeat theme: we’ve put together a collection of Japanese songs around one minute long.

As times change, short songs are becoming more common for various reasons, and some of you probably think, “I love those super short tracks!” There are a few brief shouts and instrumental pieces out there, but in this article we’re featuring proper lyric-based songs that are under one minute or in the one-minute range.

We’ve also picked out that famous commercial jingle and some tongue-in-cheek tracks.

Be sure to read to the end and find a new favorite!
