[Long Songs] 6-minute-plus long songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke (41–50)
The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)Ketsumeishi
There are many masterpieces among songs and albums titled “Kachou Fuugetsu,” and this single that Ketsumeishi released in 2002 is also a really great track.
It’s a long piece that runs over seven minutes and nearly reaches eight, yet it strangely doesn’t feel long at all.
It conveys a sense of being soothed while spending time in pleasant nature, and it brings a calm feeling when your days are hectic or you feel like you’re losing yourself.
Its very relaxed tempo also makes it easy to sing, which is another part of its appeal.
It’s perfect as a palate-cleansing track, and I also recommend it as a closer.
End and Beginningkariyushi 58
An evocative song that captures the sparkle found in calm, everyday life, it was released in February 2010 as the B-side to Kariyushi 58’s single “Ame nochi Hare.” Its warm acoustic sound and heartfelt message—like reflecting on yourself at the end of the day—are compelling.
The lyrics gently question the finiteness of life and the importance of the everyday.
The song was used as the theme for the 2016 drama “Sanbiki no Ossan 3: Seigi no Mikata, Mitabi!!,” and from October 2024 it has also been featured in a commercial for Japan Manufacturing Service.
It’s a piece I wholeheartedly recommend, one that can stay close to anyone facing a life milestone, such as graduation or a job change.
loveOtsuka Ai
Among the songs performed by singer-songwriter Ai Otsuka, this is said to be the longest.
Its sound conveys a nostalgic feel with an emphasis on acoustic guitar, and the addition of strings creates a grand, warm development that leaves a striking impression.
As the title suggests, “love” is the central theme, expressing gentle feelings toward someone dear.
A distinctive feature is the first half of the final chorus, which is sung a cappella—this lays the heart bare and seems to further highlight the song’s overarching message.
It’s a piece where imagining someone important and singing with deep affection will likely be the key.
ALIVEMr.Children
While depicting the harshness of life, this moving number resonates with a powerful sense of finding hope.
It’s included on Mr.Children’s sixth album, “BOLERO,” released in March 1997.
It’s one of the tracks on this mega-hit record that sold over three million copies.
With its grand arrangement, weighty yet fervent message, and Sakurai’s captivating vocals, it’s sure to draw you in.
Sing it at karaoke, and it will surely give you the strength to face tomorrow.
So there was one in Tokyo, too.Fukuyama Masaharu
“There Was One in Tokyo, Too” is a ballad about a protagonist who moved to Tokyo with a dream and sings while thinking of their hometown.
Throughout, it carries a gently melancholic mood that feels comforting whether you sing it or listen to it.
Even while being swept up in the busy days of the big city, your mind drifts to someone dear in quiet moments.
Even as time goes by, we’d like to never forget that feeling.
water lily blossomShonan no Kaze
This is the sixth single by Shonan no Kaze, a four-member reggae group also known for taking first place in the “Karaoke Songs with the Highest Calorie Burn While Singing” ranking.
With a high-energy arrangement that perfectly suits the summer beach, it’s an upper-tune that unites the entire venue as the audience spins their towels during live shows.
Although mellow parts are woven into the intro and elsewhere, the arrangement keeps the excitement going for seven minutes straight, making it a track everyone can dance to and sing along with at karaoke.
It’s a number that teaches you the joy of going wild at karaoke, without ever making its length feel long.
Somewhere Near Marseilles -Around Marseille-Utada Hikaru
A track by Hikaru Utada that was selected as the campaign song for the jewelry brand Cartier.
It’s included on her eighth album, BAD Mode, released in February 2022.
The house beat, which ebbs and flows like waves, and the lyrics that convey a heartfelt longing to see a lover far away create an overwhelming world.
Although this piece runs for about 12 minutes, its immersive progression only makes you feel that it still isn’t enough to fully savor Hikaru Utada’s musicality.
It may be on the longer side, but it’s perfect for letting yourself drift on its sonic waves at a laid-back party with close friends or during solo karaoke.
It’s a song I hope you’ll try at least once.
