Long Season is a song written by Shinji Sato for Fishmans' sixth album, Long Season. It is the only song on the album. The piece is heavily based on a song from their previous single, Season.

Long Season is typically divided into five parts: the first establishes the main theme, the second is a variation, the third is a breakdown, the fourth is a departure, the fifth is a climax and resolution.

The song is the longest composition the group has created, usually averaging around 35 to 40 minutes in length. The track would gradually gain the band notoriety to global audiences and is considered by most to be their magnum opus.

[PART 1] The two of us driving at dusk Calling the wind, calling you From one end of the city of Tokyo to the other We were half way in a dream What is that humming song? What do you remember? Watching the sunset in the rearview mirror Feeling happy, feeling lonely Seems I've been messed up by my cold medicine Like that, in that kind of mood Driving, driving, driving, driving What is that humming song? What do you remember?

[PART 1] At dusk we drove Calling the wind, and calling you Driving from one end of Tokyo to the other Halfway dreaming What's that song you're humming? What's on your mind? Watching the sunset in the rearview mirror Feeling kinda happy, feeling kinda lonely Seems like I've been done in by my cold medicine And like that, in that mood, I'm… I'm driving, driving, driving, driving… What's that song you're humming? What's on your mind?
