[Long Songs] 6+ minute songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke (51–60)
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.
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.
If you’d like, together.KAN
A single released in 2010.
It’s a lively 8-beat tune, which is unusual for KAN.
The lyrics depict two people walking side by side, and the gentle melody naturally lifts your spirits.
With few instrumental breaks and around eight minutes packed with vocals, you’ll need stamina to sing it all the way through.
Rainbow RecipeSukima Suichi
A richly colorful pop number that likens the process of building music, layer by layer, to a “rainbow.” It’s a work by the musical duo Sukima Switch, released as a single in May 2009, and it’s also included on their fifth album, Nayuta to Fukashigi.
Despite its extended length of about 7 minutes and 40 seconds, the structure that gradually swells toward the latter half is superb.
It was used as the theme song for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN” and as the image song for the 2nd Honolulu Rainbow Ekiden 2014.
The lyrics convey a creative passion to complete a work through trial and error, stirring the heart.
Immerse yourself in this piece’s world, where diverse sounds blend together, and try singing it with a music-loving friend.
RED HILLCHAGE and ASKA
When it comes to artists who enjoyed immense popularity during the peak era of CD sales in Japanese music in the 80s and 90s, CHAGE and ASKA come to mind! “RED HILL” is included on the album of the same title, “RED HILL.” In the lyrics, there’s a whispered “What should I do?”, expressing the inner conflict of choosing between options, with the fear that the choice might lead to hell.
Many people find CHAGE and ASKA’s songs hard to sing because of the high notes, but this one is mid-tempo, so I think it’s singable!
sign; mark; symbol; omenMr.Children
Mr.Children’s classic “Shirushi” is perfect for anyone who wants to sing comfortably at karaoke.
Released in November 2006, this single runs over seven minutes, inviting listeners on a rich musical journey.
Featured in the drama “14-year-old Mother,” the song opens with a piano-and-vocal intro, and its heartwarming lyrics—written by Kazutoshi Sakurai while picturing his beloved pygmy marmoset—are particularly memorable.
The chorus, born naturally from the flow of the melody, continues to captivate many fans.
In the lyrics, Sakurai’s deep affection and the subtle fluctuations of everyday emotions shine through, expressing the profound weight of a bond built on living together.
Highly recommended for those who want to savor blissful solo karaoke sessions or special moments with close friends.
